02x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

The new researcher

at Pete's lab looks exactly like Way.

Please, come on in.

Right now, I just want

to earn back all your trust.

Just wait and see the person I sent in…

They’re gonna wreck X-Hunter.

So, Pit Babe,

wanna do something fun with me?

I'm a huge fan. Can I take a selfie?

What the hell are you doing?

Was the bar seriously that packed?

Why do I smell Alpha all over you?

Uncle, call Babe now!

What?

Babe? Are you serious?

Alright, I’ll tell Charlie.

Touch.

Can you switch off the device?

Nobody's allowed to turn it off.

But I’m the one who gave the order.

Babe just had an accident.

Charlie needs to get

to the hospital right now.

But the brainwave scan isn’t finished yet.

No one’s allowed to shut it down.

Not even you.

Mr. Chris.

The one in the accident

is Charlie’s boyfriend.

Even if the serum is important,

it’s not more important

than someone’s life.

Touch.

- Please shut it down.

- Okay.

Charlie…

Charlie, wake up.

It’s a car accident case.

The cool guy. Which room?

Let me check that for you.

How’s Babe doing, Bro?

He's safe. It's just an inflamed tendon.

The doctor’s gonna run a few more checks.

If all’s good,

he’ll move to recovery soon.

So who hit Babe? Do we know yet?

The cops said it was a hit-and-run.

They haven’t caught the driver yet.

If the crash was that bad,

how could the other guy still be okay?

Didn't they get hurt at all?

No idea, honestly.

Cops already checked the CCTV.

But they couldn’t tell where

the car came from.

A witness said that

it looked like the car ran

a red light and never even braked.

It was on purpose.

I saw this future coming.

What do you mean, Kid?

Didn’t you say you had your

sense under control for a year?

I just started seeing again.

The first time I saw it,

I didn’t know what it was about.

Until today happened.

The car that hit us,

it looked like it hit

on purpose and drove off.

So that’s when you called me

to come see Babe?

Yeah.

When did your sense come back?

Just recently.

At first…

I thought I could still keep

my power in check.

Until suddenly…

I felt pain.

Pain?

Yeah.

I felt pain.

Like I got hit by something

when I saw the vision.

I only realized today,

it was the same pain

Babe felt when he got hit.

Jeff.

If seeing the future

physically hurts you like this,

that’s not exactly a good sign.

Exactly.

I think your special ability has

gotten stronger than before.

Now you actually feel

what’s going to happen too.

Something this serious,

you didn’t even think to tell me?

Even if I did, you wouldn’t

have been able to help me.

But I’m fine now, really.

I just felt it.

It's not like I actually got hurt.

So what, you’d wait

until something actually happens

or you die before telling me?

Uncle. Uncle.

Uncle.

Uncle.

Jeff…

Why are you just standing there?

Go after him.

Did I die or something?

Yup, you did.

And a handsome angel

has come to escort Babe to heaven.

Ow…

Was that supposed to be funny?

Well, I thought you were making a joke.

Are you in a lot of pain?

It hurts, but I can handle it.

And I'm totally ready to leave

and punch whoever hit me.

Did they find out who the driver was yet?

You just woke up and already acting tough.

I think you should just rest for now.

What about the others?

They all came to see you already.

But you weren’t awake yet.

So I told them to go home.

Can you tell Alan I’m sorry

I missed the training?

Alan wouldn’t blame you for that.

As for the CCTV footage,

Alan already spoke to the police

but they didn’t see anything.

So they still haven’t caught the culprit.

Don't you worry though,

whoever it is,

I’ll take care of them myself.

Wow.

My little puppy turned into

a full-on Rottweiler now, huh?

Ouch.

Then rest, okay?

So you can heal faster, alright?

That’s not enough. I want a magic kiss.

Get some rest.

Oops… wrench dropped.

Hey, Kid. You okay?

Hold on, Uncle.

Can’t we just talk first?

You didn't want to talk when it mattered.

So what’s the point now?

Come on, Uncle,

I know you overthink stuff.

That’s why I didn’t wanna be a burden.

The word "burden"

shouldn’t even exist in a relationship.

Love is about two people

moving through life together.

But what you did,

it’s like you just pushed me

out of your life.

Uncle…

Think it over properly.

What does being someone’s boyfriend

really mean to you?

Something serious going on?

Hey.

What do you do when Babe’s mad at you?

Alan’s still not talking to you?

This time he’s not just ignoring me.

He won’t even look at me.

I’ve never seen him this mad before.

Can you blame him?

If Babe kept something that big from me

I’d feel the same way.

Enough whining already.

Just tell me what you usually do

to make up with Babe.

Me and Babe aren’t

the type to hide how we feel.

When we make up,

we don’t really talk about it.

- We just have sex.

- What?

But I’m not sure

that will work with you and Alan.

Right now, anything that works with him,

I’m willing to try it all.

Before you go beg for forgiveness,

you better get that checkup done first.

Go on, then.

It’s an evolution of Jeff’s power.

But the scary part is

we have no idea where it will end up.

Meaning, if the person Jeff sees

in his sense gets hurt,

Jeff would feel the pain too.

And what if that person dies?

Then Jeff might…

I don’t want to die.

We can’t let that happen.

From what I can see.

It’s still in the expansion phase.

And like I said,

what’s scary

is we don’t know where it ends.

And we have no idea

what it will do to your body.

So our only option

is the skill-dissolving serum.

I think we need to speed things up.

For Jeff’s safety.

Sir.

Babe is in the hospital right now.

If your men messed up the job,

should I take care of it?

No, they did the job.

Mission accomplished, Sir.

I just kinda missed him.

I didn’t plan to k*ll him.

If I wanted him dead,

one move… and he’s gone.

But the best kind of revenge,

is watching them suffer.

Not dead…

But might as well be.

I’ve ordered all the evidence

to be cleared, Sir.

They won’t be able to

trace anything back to us.

What would you like me to do next, Sir?

Nothing.

I’d rather see him squirm.

You’re not leaving yet.

I need a word with you.

Me?

What did he talk to you about?

Mr. Tony told me to shadow you.

I’m gonna take Kenta’s place

as his right hand.

Working for Tony

isn’t exactly a walk in the park.

That’s true.

You might be an as*h*le,

but you’re not quite as*h*le enough.

Keep trying, alright?

Stick with me long enough,

- you’ll get there.

- Got it.

You’re back, Papa?

Papa’s home.

What the hell?

Who told you to come in here?

Well, I’m already here.

No harm done, right?

Brought you flowers.

I’ll just leave them here.

Then get out.

Your boyfriend’s not around?

You’re this badly hurt

and he’s not even here.

What a waste.

Will it k*ll you to mind

your own damn business for once?

With that attitude,

did your boyfriend ban you

from being with others?

My boyfriend didn’t say anything.

I just don’t wanna be with you.

So that means…

Your boyfriend hasn’t seen our pic

at the bar that night, huh?

Came out great, by the way.

Looks like we were on a date.

What pic? I never took any with you.

This one.

Tons of likes on it too.

I even tagged you.

You sure your boyfriend won’t see it?

Can you stop messing around?

If he saw it, he would've said something.

Now get out. You’re annoying.

How can I leave

when I’m trying to flirt with you?

Listen up.

- Me and Charlie are never breaking up.

- Never breaking up.

I know what you're gonna say.

But your boyfriend's not here, is he?

Let me take care of you for now,

just as a stand-in.

Get lost already.

Why are you in such a rush

to kick me out, Babe?

- What are you doing?

- Charlie.

I’m here as a rep from ETA to visit Babe.

Same industry,

we gotta support each other, right?

Hope you don’t mind.

Looks like you’ve got

someone to look after you now.

As promised,

I’ll head out now.

Yeah, just get lost already.

You’re annoying.

Bye then.

I shouldn’t have left your side.

I could’ve helped you sooner.

It’s okay.

I know you had things to take care of.

But I’m not going anywhere.

Charlie. I know you’d never leave me.

I’m more afraid you’ll leave me.

What are you saying?

Why would I ever leave you?

What if someone better comes along?

Smarter than me…

Has more time for you…

Like that Willy guy

who’s been all over you.

That night you went to the bar,

you saw Willy, didn’t you?

Why didn’t you tell me

that he’s still trying

to hit on you off the field?

So what if he is?

I didn’t flirt back or anything.

Besides, I beat him that night.

Is there anything else I don’t know?

Am I being annoying?

I’m really not feeling

confident right now.

Charlie…

Okay.

I get annoyed easily.

But I mean it, alright?

You’re the only one

I’ve ever had eyes for.

Got it?

- But--

- I just don’t care about him.

If I don’t care,

then there’s nothing he can do, right?

Charlie…

Willy…

He’s got nothing on you.

You know that?

Hey, come on. What’s with you?

I love you, Papa.

Come here.

Don’t overthink it.

- Alright?

- Okay.

Kenta?

You probably heard

we’re outta prison, right?

So who are you working for now?

I’m not working for anyone.

That’s why I ran here.

You’re running away?

I don’t wanna be involved

in this stuff anymore.

But the reason I’m here,

is because I figured the ones

in real danger…

Are you guys.

What’s that supposed to mean?

You might not believe

what I’m about to say.

But the scariest one of them all…

He’s back.

No breathing.

What’s the pulse?

Did you check? Go check now.

Sample C153 has failed.

- Bring in C154.

- Yes, Sir.

Have CEF put out

an urgent recruitment call.

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Pete, is something wrong?

Why did you call us here?

It’s something really important.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked Babe

to come here right after

leaving the hospital.

Kenta?

How did you get out?

What do you think you’re doing?

If it wasn’t serious,

I wouldn’t be getting

involved with you guys again.

But all of you need to know this.

Tony is back.

At first, I didn’t believe it either.

Because I was the one

who k*lled him with my own hands.

But after I got out of prison,

someone took me to see Tony.

It's like he was recovering

from serious injuries.

Are you sure…

That this whole thing

isn’t some made-up story?

Kenta’s not lying.

Because right now, he’s just

as much at risk as the rest of us.

Or does Tony…

have some kind of power

that helped him survive?

I’ve never heard of any

special ability like that before.

But we all came from the Chen family.

None of us knew everything, right?

Did anyone know if Tony had powers?

Even if he comes back a hundred times,

I’m not afraid of him.

I just came to warn you all to be careful.

Because if I’m right,

the reason you’re like this,

is probably because of Tony.

Are you worried about Tony coming back?

Not really.

Are you scared of him?

I’m not scared of Tony.

I’m just scared

we won’t get to stay together.

We don’t know what Tony’s planning next.

What if he comes back

and takes you away again?

But I don’t have my sense anymore,

Charlie.

Why would he want to take me?

And besides, someone like Tony,

all he wants is revenge.

And me?

I’m not letting him touch either of us.

We’re both gonna be safe.

That line…

Shouldn’t I be the one saying it?

Mama’s still injured, you know.

Oh please.

It’s just a scratch.

Papa’s been taking care of me so well…

Doesn’t he deserve a reward?

What kind of reward, Mama?

I just got out of the hospital, you know.

You want it already?

What kind of reward

are you thinking about?

Well…

Exactly the kind

you’re thinking about right now.

Go ahead.

Jeff.

You’re still not making up with Uncle?

I’m trying, I really am.

Trying? Trying what, exactly?

I haven’t seen you do anything.

I just don’t know how to start.

But I did ask Charlie for advice.

And what did he say?

He said I should use…

Use what?

Never mind.

Are we gonna have

an actual conversation today?

Alright, how about this?

If you’ve run out of excuses,

just use work as one.

Here, take this chart.

Trust me.

Take the water too, give it to Alan.

Trust me. Go, now.

Uncle.

Are you still mad at me?

Yeah.

But I can still separate work

from personal stuff.

Why? Still keeping secrets from me?

I’m not hiding anything from you.

What about Tony being alive?

You didn’t know about that in advance?

I really didn’t know about that.

Come on, Uncle.

Don’t lump me in like that.

Can’t help it.

I just don’t know

what I can believe from you anymore.

Telling us this info,

you might be putting yourself

in danger too.

Let’s just say…

I’m doing this to make up

for what I did to you guys.

So where are you gonna go now?

I don’t know.

But don’t worry about me.

I’m not going down that easy.

But I’m worried

you’re the one who’s not safe.

Let me help you.

How? If I stay here with you guys,

Tony’s just gonna target you too.

But I might have another way to help.

Hey, Alan.

Hey, Uncle. How did it go with the police?

Any leads on who hit Babe?

Nothing yet.

All the CCTV footage got wiped clean.

The cops aren’t doing anything useful.

Tony, that b*stard…

He just woke up and already,

he’s got connections with the police?

The fact he could hide

his death and all that for years,

means his connections

are still just as strong.

And the fact he hasn’t shown his face

might just mean

he’s waiting for the right time.

But I’ll tell you this, someone like Tony…

He wouldn’t run Babe over himself, right?

Uncle.

I think we need to figure out

who he ordered to do it.

Right?

Why don’t you ask Jeff?

He can see the future again now, right?

Tell him to focus, maybe…

He can get a glimpse

of the culprit’s face.

Even just a silhouette.

I couldn’t see the face. But…

I remember seeing

the driver was using only one hand.

Huh?

Damn, that’s bold.

He hit that hard, but driving one-handed?

Are you okay?

I’m fine. Just a little drained.

Hey, Uncle.

What’s the plan for the next race?

It’s just me and Charlie.

I don’t think we can pull it off.

You’ll have to. No choice.

Charlie. You need to clock

your best time in the next race.

We don’t know when Babe can come back.

- Got it.

- No need.

I’ll race in the next one.

Babe, wait up!

Why would you race?

You just got out of the hospital.

There’s something

I need to prove, Charlie.

Prove what, exactly?

I have a feeling Willy

might be the one who hit me.

I’m not totally sure yet.

But from what Jeff told us…

Something about it reminded me of Willy.

So I wanna see for myself on the track.

But that’s way too risky.

If you want something proven,

just tell me.

I’ll do it for you.

I can’t let you.

Aren’t you supposed

to be testing the skill-dissolving serum?

That’s important too, isn’t it?

Charlie.

I can’t let you deal

with everything on your own.

Okay.

You sure you’re fit enough to race?

I don’t want you pushing yourself.

I can handle it.

I’m Pit Babe.

Did you forget?

Then make sure you get

plenty of rest, okay?

You treat me like

I’m your kid or something.

No, I treat you like my boyfriend.

Boyfriend, huh?

Someone might see us.

No one’s around.

Why should I help you guys?

I’m in the middle

of transferring back to Korea.

That’s exactly why.

You’re no longer part of X-Hunter,

and you’re about to leave the country.

So you’re the least likely to be targeted.

Still, it’s risky for me too.

We’re not asking you to

keep Kenta forever.

Just give him a place to hide…

Until the timing is right.

Once I figure out a safe escape route…

I’ll come get him myself.

You’re the only one

I trust to help Kenta right now.

How was it, Charlie?

Nothing’s changed.

Everything looks exactly the same.

You still haven’t gone home yet?

What about you?

Don’t you have a home

to go back to by now?

I figured a workaholic like you

probably hasn’t eaten yet either.

Here, Sushi.

Is it okay?

I’m not picky, you know.

If it doesn’t k*ll me, I’ll eat it.

So you’ve lived in the States

your whole life?

Just like I told you,

I only came back here

because of the skill-dissolving serum.

Actually, I’ve had to run off

to another country too, once.

In the end, I had to come back.

Because of Daddy.

Daddy?

Yeah, Daddy Tony.

He’s like a godfather

to all the Chen family kids.

Honestly, I think I’ve seen

some news about him before.

But didn’t he already die?

Most people probably think that, yeah.

By the way, you’ve worked with

a lot of people

with special senses, right?

Have you ever met anyone

with a sense that makes them immortal?

Pete, come on.

Even the most powerful Alpha

can’t escape death.

Or wait… Pete,

have you actually met

an Alpha with a power like that?

No, not at all.

I was curious, that’s all.

What the hell are you doing, North?

I’m praying, obviously.

At this point, we need

some divine help, don’t you think?

Didn’t you say you were fully prepared?

Training is one thing,

but keeping your cool during

the actual race is another.

Sonic, this is my debut race

as a big league racer, you know?

Then take this with you.

What’s this?

Some kind of charm?

If it makes you feel better, then sure.

You’ve got this. Believe me.

Alright then.

There you go.

Okay.

How are you feeling, Babe?

I’m better now.

No need for anyone else to butt in.

I’m already taking care of him.

Just focus on your race prep.

My racer needs to focus.

Maybe you don’t realize it,

but what you’re doing

feels like you’re playing dirty.

No need to be so negative.

I’m just concerned for him

as a fellow racer.

Charlie.

See you on the track.

Time to gear up.

We’re back with

The Hallow Super GT Street Thunder!

This is Race two, folks!

And now just one minute left.

It’s Willy from team ETA in the lead,

followed closely by Babe from X-Hunter,

as they approach zone A!

And they’re off!

Still neck and neck, Babe and Willy.

As expected,

no changes in position just yet.

Looks like it’s going to be a long battle.

This is definitely not an easy one.

Willy’s in the lead!

It’s fine. it’s just the start.

Now we move into Zone B,

the container zone!

Drivers need extra caution here,

and lots of experience.

Willy from ETA still leads the pack.

Babe and Charlie are right behind.

Willy’s holding strong, smooth cornering!

Babe’s closing in hard now!

But Willy’s still defending well.

Charlie keeps pressure from behind.

North, the new racer from X-Hunter

is doing great for his first race!

Go, North! You got this!

Willy’s still defending the lead well.

Babe’s looking for a way around,

but Willy’s still blocking tight.

Back to Zone A now!

Pit Babe’s speeding up again!

It looks like North

is pushing into fourth place!

Yes! He made it, he’s in second now!

Back in Zone B

Charlie’s accelerating hard.

He just passed Babe!

But Willy’s not letting

anyone through just yet.

Babe pushes back and overtakes again!

Current standings

Willy, Babe, Charlie, then North.

Babe’s trying to find a way around Willy,

but it’s not the right moment yet.

And now Charlie overtakes Pit Babe!

He cuts in front and is now tailing Willy!

Right on him! Right on his tail!

Willy from ETA is

still defending like a pro.

Charlie’s not backing down though!

He’s closing the gap!

Now it’s a straightaway!

Looks like Charlie’s about to overtake!

Come on, Charlie, keep pushing!

- Closer!

- Come on!

Charlie’s right on Willy’s tail now!

But his car’s starting to wobble.

Woah! Charlie’s car spun out!

Charlie, man!

- Uncle!

- Whoa, hang on!

Babe, focus. Stay calm!

Charlie’s car should be okay.

North, it’s just you and Babe now.

- You gotta cover for Charlie.

- Alright, let’s go!

It’s up to North to catch up now.

Babe just overtook Willy!

They’re neck and neck now!

And now they’re on the final straight!

Babe’s picking up speed!

It’s super close right now.

And Babe crosses the finish line!

- Babe’s first! Then Willy and North!

- Yes!

- Dean, go get the rescue car for Charlie!

- Got it! Sonic, stay here, okay?

Charlie!

Come out first!

Charlie!

Charlie!

You okay? You alright?

Are you good?

Sense…

I think I lost my sense…

So when is Charlie waking up?

He’s been out like four or five hours now.

To you guys, is he just some lab rat?

It’s the same compound

we used for the skill-dissolving serum.

Tony didn’t make a skill-dissolving serum.

He’s actually making

something to boost those skills.

You're sweating like crazy…

But you still smell nice, Bro.

I’m starting to wonder…

What’s going on in your head

While having dinner

with someone who looks just like your ex.

Happy Birthday, Mama!

Make a wish, quick!
