01x05 - Family

[bunniefuu]

[Birds chirping]

It should be easy for you,
right, Rick?

Just turn my dad
into a superhero.

Like from a comic book.

Jerry? A superhero. Sure.

He's going to need
some training.

- Hmm?
- Training?

Oh, I'd love that.

Just the thought of it
makes me laugh.

Tell you what,
I'll consider doing it

when the world is in danger

and there's literally
no one else around to save it.

[Creatures squealing]

♪♪

Listen, I would
totally become a superhero

to keep our family safe.

Yeah, Dad, that would be cool.

But I don't know
if you'll ever get the chance.

Jerry, if you really want
to keep the family safe,

then you should find a job.

Come out, Rick Sanchez!

Rick Sanchez!

[Gasps]

Rise and shine.

Who are you?

Another version of you.

I think it was this sword
that summoned me here.

Hello! Anybody home?

Rick... [Yelps]

Hm.

Looks like Rick isn't
home right now.

This is Jerry's
space berry cake,

my very own creation.
Bon appétit.

Thank you. Looks yummy.

I'm Jerry Smith, and
I am Rick Sanchez's son-in-law.

I am also Jerry.
This man is me, and I am him.

Mm-hmm.

Well, what are you waiting for?

- [Shouts]
- It's not Rick you're after,

but this sword,
isn't that right?

- Ah!
- What kind of secrets does it hold?

You're not the first one
to come after it today.

- Huh?
- It happened while you were napping.

♪♪

[Gasps]

[Gasps]

None of them
would answer my questions,

so I just tested the sword
out on your friends instead.

Guess what. You're gonna be
my next test subject.

♪♪

I am Mr. Nimbus,
King of the Ocean.

Hey, Mr. Nimbus.

What business
do you have here, Jerry Smith?

Your lackey spilled the beans
after we threatened him.

- This dude is nuts.
- Who is this beast?

I am also known as Jerry Smith.

Hmm.

♪♪

Making everything
needlessly complicated

is one of Richard's specialties.

Rick isn't here, and starting
today, I'm the king of the land.

So a moron like you
wants to forge a treaty with me?

How would you like
a taste of this instead?

I'll admit, that thing seems
like a real nuisance.

But Richard is the only one
who can make treaties with me.

I have literally no interest
in that ridiculous sword.

Then why sacrifice so many of
your minions trying to get it?

Eh! I have no desire to be
caught in someone else's w*r.

I was trying to eliminate
a source of trouble.

- What trouble?
- That sword was stolen,

and now its owners are coming
for it.

Do me a favor.
Keep the fighting on land.

Exactly what kind of power
does this sword have?

Unbelievable!

You stole that thing
without knowing what it does,

Jerry Smith.

Who the hell are you?

People who know
call me Jerry Smith.

You had best remember that.

I've come to claim the sword
of Mikado no Mikoto.

So the g*ng fell apart
and split into two factions

as soon as I got put
into the slammer.

My apologies, sir.

The Roughnecks got
their hands on the sword.

You needn't worry about that.

I reached out to a man
who'll get it back.

All by yourself? Really?

Rest assured,
I'll get the job done.

Sorry.
You would just get in the way.

Mm?

You truly are a man of legend,

The gods were gracious enough

to lend us their power
after all.

We were right to have faith.

We are truly blessed.

Weak-minded buffoons.

They locked their

Breaking the seal

will unleash a swirling mass
of dark energy.

So hurry and get the hell
out of my territory!

Hark, Jerrys!

I control the police and can
sink everything into the ocean.

Pardon, sire,

but may I ask where
the Sword of Sealing is now?

Who knows?

It's with Rick Sanchez, who will
surely take care of it for us.

Space Mom really saved
our butts.

- Thanks, Space Mom.
- Absolutely.

God, I wish we had
two versions of dad around.

Wait a minute.
Where's dad?

Oh, crap.
Maybe he's in the garage.

He probably doesn't realize
Rick is back home.

What the hell?
He better not be

going through my stuff!
Son of a b*tch!

Aw, crap.

I totally forgot about stashing
that sword in here.

W-W-What's the matter, Rick?

Where's Dad?

Great. There couldn't be

I know what
you're calling to b*tch about.

Listen, I'll make sure it won't
cause any problems for you.

[Portal warbling]

Hmm. Looks good on you.
And I'm not just being nice.

Gee, I think you have
the better body for this suit.

Don't forget,
I am you, Jerry Smith.

I don't, but you have a family
to care for.

Only you have what it takes to
unleash the power of this sword.

So you should wield it.
We are stronger than you think.

Ugh.

Come on, come on, come on.

I really screwed the pooch
by not seeing this coming.

[Warbling]

Where's Dad?
What's going on?

Just relax. We're gonna go get
him right now.

In another dimension?

No, Morty,
he's in this dimension.

In our universe.

Well, the antiverse,
to be specific.

Wow. The antiverse.

Just don't expect the animation

to get mirrored or something.

That's too much of a pain
in the a*s.

Our universe and the antiverse
exists in the same space,

two wavelengths
that are opposite of each other.

We can travel between the two,

we just need to nail
down the exact point

where they intersect.

But time flows backwards
over there,

so we have to time
this perfectly.

- This sh*t's serious.
- We totally got this, Grandpa.

[Spaceships launching]

Okay, everybody.

Match the timing exactly.

[Warbling]

So you finally getting tired of
being a pathetic sack of crap?

[Whimpering]

You know,
you're absolutely right, Rick.

I just keep avoiding the truth
of who I really am.

No matter what, I'm a loser.

Simply acknowledging
that is a huge step forward.

- I just... [Crying]
- Want to change yourself?

You should never settle
with a version of yourself

that you hate.

If you let me,
I can help you, Jerry.

I won't force you.
You can quit anytime you want.

[Yelling]

what you really want?
