Post by bunniefuu »

[Tina] Previously,
on Marvel's Runaways...

Video is being funneled
to your parents' company.

Well, we have to find a way to get it.

What should I do about the fact

that my wife is sleeping
with another man?

[Nico] If they know you saw the robes,

they know you got down the staircase.

They're getting rid of me!

[Gert] Molly, you're gonna
get through this,

but for now you have to go.

What do you have to be ashamed of?

My relationship with Jonah.

How about my mom's password?

No, I told you, I just... I guessed.

No, you knew,

and you're gonna tell me how right now.

He's a monster, Janet.

And how do you think he'll react

when I tell him I'm leaving him?

I got this.

You tricked me into thinking you'd
changed, but you know what?

[both grunting]

Dad, don't!

[car alarm wailing]

- Please...
- [g*nsh*t]

[body thuds]

[car alarm continues wailing]

- He's barely breathing.
- Just hold on, Victor, please!

Janet! Jesus, is he alive?

I think so.

Are you okay?

Get out of here. Now.

Chase, you are bleeding.

Not as bad as you'll be if you don't go!

[Janet] Hey! Hey! Chase!

Please! Your family
has been through enough.

All that matters now is your father.

[gasping]

You may as well start talking.

'Cause I'm not leaving here
till I get answers.

Why you didn't go to Amy's funeral.

How you knew my mom's password.

Anything else
you've been hiding from me?

Okay.

I'm gonna tell you everything,

starting where it ended.

- The night she d*ed...
- [message tone]

[Amy] Hey, Alex, sorry I didn't
make it over tonight.

Can you get out of the house,
meet me at Timely in ?


I really need to talk, and you're
the only person who knows.


Knows what?

The Minorus are already here.

No doubt whatever this is,
Tina's involved.

[Catherine] We don't know
the situation yet.

It was just one text.

One word.

That's enough.

The last time we got
a text with that message,

the Hernandezes were found in pieces.

I should've done something about
that, about her back then.

Let's just keep it cool,

Geoffrey, until we know what's up.

Oh, I know what's up.

[Nico] So you had no idea
why Amy didn't come

to the PRIDE meeting that night?

Amy was older than us.

Hanging out during PRIDE
meetings was tradition,

but it was also lame.

At a certain point, it makes sense

that she'd stop wanting to come.

But that wasn't it.

And you knew it?

You're mad at me.

I think you knew I would be,

which is why it took you
two years to grow the balls

- to tell me what happened!
- I'm telling you now,

unless you don't want to hear it!

Let me at least explain myself

before you lose your sh*t on me.

Alex, there's no explanation

that would justify you
having this information

and just sitting on it,

knowing that I can
barely stand to be alive!

Thinking that I did something
or I missed something...

I missed something!

I'm the one
who should've seen it coming.

I should've done more.
I should've stopped her.

Tell me the rest, and I'll
let you know if I agree.

The first night I noticed
something was off,

I was sitting right over there.

Told our parents that we
were just studying, but...

we were mostly just playing Battlefront.

We're never getting off Endor

if you don't get
the speeder bike moving.

It's my laptop's fault.
This thing is slow as hell.

Wow, blaming the laptop
for my superior skills.

Lucky for you, I got a new pass

on an antivirus software.

I could run it, see if
anything weird pops up.

Then I'll get us some refills,

and when I get back, you can tell me

when you're finally gonna
ask my sister out.

It's that obvious?

Only since you were .

[scoffs]

[barista] Two more house blend?

All right.

[beep]

What's the diagnosis?

I don't think it's a virus.

Great, so you're just
that much better than me?

I think you got hacked.

Whatever's doing it is keylogging you,

seeing everything that you type.

Whoa, whoa. Hey, Amy, we can fix it.

- Not this. Bye.
- Amy!

Who was it that hacked her?

An online creeper, or...

or someone trying a backdoor
to get into Wizard?

It was your mom.



At first it was just
a little click jacking,

and I was just fooling around,

trying to cr*ck my mom's
password, which I did.

Then I thought, "Why not
move to a bait-and-switch,"

and then I...

You decided to make some money.

But you're already rich.

It wasn't about the money.

It was about b*ating her, just once.

But she always wins, Amy.

You know that. You set off an alarm.

She put me on it, [sighs] and now...

You're gonna turn me in.

You're gonna turn yourself in.

Are you kidding?

There's no way out. [chuckles]

There are a lot of people
looking into this breach.

You don't know her.

You don't know what she'll do to me.

So, she couldn't face her,
admit to what she did.

She'd rather die.

She was upset, freaking out.

I did what I could to tell her
that it was gonna be okay, but...

I should've done more.

Should've followed her, stayed with her,

been with her when she
told your mom. I mean...

Tina would've been upset, but...

My mom has known the entire time.

I think so. Yeah.

She lies to everyone...

about everything.

Just like you.

Nico, I made a promise,

a promise to keep
her secret, and then...

Why drag that all up after she was dead?

Because I'm still here...

and I deserve the truth.

Come on, Nico, it's not like
you've never made a mistake.

Don't turn this back on me.

I'm not. I'm admitting
that I was wrong, okay,

and I should've done better.

And I want to do better in the future,

- but Amy was my friend.
- And she was my sister.

Look, I should've told you,
okay, but I couldn't.

And then look what happened.

The clothes, the makeup,
you turned in on yourself,

and the few times
that I tried reaching out...

Alex, you can't keep the circumstances

of my sister's su1c1de a secret

and then blame my lipstick.

I was scared, okay?

Scared that you'd never forgive me.

'Cause losing you forever, Nico...

that'd be like another death.

It still doesn't make sense.

- What?
- Something's wrong.

Something's always been wrong. Like...

My mom sealing the house,

not letting me call ,

Flores, the diary...

If my mom knew about Amy hacking Wizard,

and it looked like she k*lled herself...

why do all that?

Well, if Amy was digging into Wizard...

Maybe your mom was worried

that she'd found
something out about PRIDE.

Maybe even what we found.

Her laptop was wiped clean,

but we never found her phone.

Not like my parents
wanted to look for it.

There was other stuff missing, too.

Her backpack.

Maybe she was packing a bag
and planning on running away.

That sounds more like Amy than su1c1de.

I need to search her room again.

- All right. I'll come with you.
- I'm good, thanks.

[Janet shushing]

- Son of a bitch.
- [Robert] Geoffrey, hold on!

Geoffrey, we're all upset,
none more so than Chase.

Hey, Chase, how ya doing?

Um... sorry about your father.

[Janet] I'm the one that sh*t him.

Victor was having one of his episodes.

Mom, what's going on?

Why'd you call them?

Can't exactly call
the police or paramedics

unless you want your mother
taken away in handcuffs.

- She saved me!
- She was also having an affair,

and sh*t her husband using a g*n
registered to her lover.

[Catherine] We have all known
each other a long time.

[Geoffrey] Yeah, we're more
than a charity organization.

We think of each other like... family.

A pride.

[Catherine] Why don't you
take him upstairs?

He's got some cuts
that need to be cleaned up.

Good idea.

No, I'm not leaving.

Come on, now, son.

We got this.

- What was he still doing here?
- It's his father.

- Not for long.
- He's lost a lot of blood.

Where the hell are Dale and Stacey?

Yes, and Graciela's gonna reach out

to the local school district
in the morning

so you don't get behind in your studies.

I'm sure it's not as fancy

as your school, but it's nice.

Do you know the man who does
the weather for Channel ?

- Oh, I love him.
- He went there.

- Is that right?
- Mm-hmm. He's doing very well.

He forecasts the weather in
Southern California. Not that hard.

And I'm sure this isn't
as big as your home, Molly,

but I promise you,
your bed is very comfortable.

I think it's very nice.
Isn't it cozy, Molly, and...

Wow, look at all
the different types of crosses!

Who knew? Well, you knew, obviously,

because of your... which is great.

You're making this worse, Dale!

I have a tendency to do that
when I don't know what to say.

How about, "This is a terrible idea,"

or "Let's not do this," or "I'm sorry!"

Molly...

[vibrates]

Oh, no.

Look, Molly, we are sorry

that this is happening,

and also... we have to go.

Honey, now.

Honey, all we ever wanted
is what's best for you.

Tossing me out like I'm
some trash is good for me?

Okay, I know this is hard
to understand right now,

but hopefully in time
you'll see that we had

your best interests at heart.

I hope so.

Till then, bite me, Stacey.

Molly, we love you.

Please know that.

I'm sorry.

[Graciela] Esta bien. Tranquilo, eh.

Vamos a comer.

It doesn't get any worse than that.

Oh, yeah, it does.

I'll take one of those.

Thanks.

[groans]

Mom, what if he doesn't make it?

What if he does?

That wasn't him down there.

This time it was... it was different.

It was like it was the brain tumor.

Or maybe what that Jonah guy
gave him to fix it.

What if that made it worse?

Look, Chase, even if a medical
condition was to blame,

- what would really change?
- Everything.

That would mean
he didn't want to k*ll me.

You still love him.

I'm sure that's what it was.

[doorbell rings]

That must be Dale and Stacey.

What, you invited them?

They're doctors.

You do realize we're not... doctors.

Well, not surgeons.

You went to medical school.

Yeah, in the ' s.

He's about to die.
You need to do something.

Oh, you need me to do...

Okay.

His pulse is faint, skin's cold.

He's in shock,
but he's hanging in there.

I'd give him an hour or so

before complete organ failure and death.

It's his axillary artery.

[others groan in disgust]

Direct digital pressure is the
best way to slow the hemorrhage.

- You guys need to stop it.
- Okay, sure,

but we have no anesthesia,
no blood for transfusion,

never mind the basics,
like gloves or sutures.

This is w*r, hon.
We can at least tie off

the artery and stop the bleeding.

He might lose his arm.

Hey, can you find me dental floss,

needle and thread, and rubbing alcohol?

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.

[Robert] Just what the world needs...

a new way to b*at
the hell out of someone.

Where's Leslie?

She wasn't invited. Too close to Jonah.

- He already thinks we're screw-ups.
- Yeah.

This ain't gonna change his opinion.

That's good. That's good, sweetie.

I think you got it.
A little to the left.

To the left, I think. Yeah.

- There it is.
- Yeah. Thanks, hon.

Get it, get it, get it.

[phone ringing]

[animals chirping]

[soft whine]

I have no idea what's going on
around here tonight...

but there's no way
I'm sleeping in my room alone.

[purrs]

Hey, it's Gert. How about
instead of leaving a message,


you sign my petition
demanding better wages


for the Chinese factory workers
who made this device?


Chase? Everything okay?

Nope. Definitely not okay.

What's wrong?

It's my dad. He's... He's hurt.

Well, I mean, we both are,
but he's definitely worse.

How did everything get so messed up?

What do you mean he's hurt?

Hey, do you think you want

to come over here right now?

I just don't want to be alone...

You know what? Don't. Sorry.

Just stay out of it.

I shouldn't have got you involved.

Involved in what?

[sighing]

Hey, sweetie.
I saw your light was still on.

I'm just getting ready for bed.

Anything you need to talk about?

Was it just me, or was Dad
acting kind of weird tonight?

You know your father can be socially
awkward at public functions.

He always says he's most
comfortable playing someone else.

Not when he's with me.

When I talked to him tonight

he just seemed, I don't know, kind of...

different, like, far away.

Honestly, I think he is
a little lost right now.

It's been a difficult time.

You know, Phil fired him.

It's devastating.

And he failed to go Ultra.

I think he's just trying
to figure some things out.

Cut him a little slack.

Good night, Mom.

Night, sweetie.

This is Nico. Do people even
leave messages anymore?


Hey, call me.

I just spoke to Chase.

Something happened to his dad.

Something bad.

Well, the good news is he's
not gonna bleed to death now.

The bad news is
he's lost a lot of blood.

He's in a coma.

Think of it as the body's way
to heal itself.

So, this is what
you've been keeping from me?

So what are you gonna do?

Call Jonah?

Hell, no.

I'm calling Frank.

You have your mother's taste
for spicy foods.

This was her favorite.

I don't get this much in my other house.

- Have you ever tried gefilte fish?
- No.

Don't. It's like putting
a dirty diaper in your mouth.

You know, Molly, I think you and
I are gonna get along just fine.

I wanted to wait until the others left

before talking to you
about something important.

I'm not sure about those people,

not really sure
what's going on with you...

but...

your parents sent me this
just before they d*ed.

It's addressed to you.

I kept it because, well,

they were special people
and I wanted to honor them.

They said one day you might come for it.

And, look, here you are.

Pues andale. Ábralo.

There's a note.

Who's Elian?

My elephant.

You brought them?

Hello to you, too.

What's going on?

You said you wanted in on this,

so here you are.

And yes, it's complicated.

[scoffs] That's pretty much life
with you, Leslie.

Kind of getting used to it now.

This is not the time, Frank.

Look, whatever happens here tonight,

you cannot tell anyone
about me and Jonah.

I'm not kidding.

The blowback would be
devastating for you,

for me, and for Karolina.

What does Karolina have
to do with any of this?

Leslie, we're running out of time.

- I'll be right there.
- Hey, Frank.

Please, Frank, I will
tell you everything later,

but for right now,
if you love your daughter,

you will shut the hell up
and do what you're told.

I'll do what I want,
thank you very much.

Uh, just sit anywhere.

Oh, oh, no, not there. Not there.
You'll crush that.

Just, uh, there. Yeah.

Stop.

[phone rings]

- Hey.
- Hey. Chase is really upset.

Have you talked to him tonight?

Why, no, I haven't.

There's been a couple
other things going on here.

I tried calling Molly, too,
but she's not picking up.

You called Molly before me?

We've been bonding lately.

- Well, that's over.
- What do you mean?

My parents sent Molly away
to stay with a relative.

I was about to text you guys.

Away? Why?

She's okay, I think.

For now, at least.

I don't know what's gonna happen later.

My parents aren't back yet.

Okay, I'm coming to get you.

We can go to Chase's together.

If Chase needed you,
why would you even call me?

Why didn't you just go
straight to his place?

Because you don't want
to be alone with him.

Because he kissed you...

and you don't like him. You like Nico,

who likes Alex.

We should go right away! I'll drive.

Fine, but hurry.

He called me first.

What?

So, is he back in now?

Back in?

Just focus on what you're doing.

Which is what?

How are gloves gonna help?

Okay, so the light signature
resembles that of a box, right,

and if that converts matter into energy,

then those gloves might also be

some kind of regenerative technology.

Please, Dale, if the g*nsh*t
didn't k*ll him,

you may bore him to death.

- Yeah, let's just get this done.
- [gasps sharply]

- That's good, right?
- Victor, can you hear me?

He can.

Ow! It's... This isn't...

Just give it a chance.

Ow! No! He's hurting my hand!

- Breaking it!
- What's happening?

It's not working.

His heart is racing.

Hold on a second. Hold on.

Not anymore.

It stopped.

He's dead.

- You ready to do this?
- Sure.

What exactly are we doing?

sh*t, get down!

That's the guy I met at the gala.

Friends with my mom, part of the church.

Stares very intensely.

Isn't that just how
all guys look at you?

What do you think he's doing at Chase's?

Right, right, right... Get the door...

Aah! Shitballs.

It's Jonah.

Well, that was inevitable.

[Geoffrey] Who called him?

Who do you think?

It wasn't me.

So grateful to have gotten the heads up.

Would not have wanted to miss this.

Thank you, Tina,
you always do the right thing.

What other choice did we have,

once Frank k*lled Victor
with his magic mittens?

I'll get this primed.

Geoffrey, Robert, and Dale, I need you

to pull the other device
from its hiding place

and put Victor inside.

You're gonna sacrifice Victor?

That would be of little use.
No, no, no, no.

I intend to do the opposite.

I'm gonna revive him
the way I get revived.

Time is of the essence,
but I can bring him back.

But that means you need
another body to convert.

Correct.

[pulsing sound]

And who did you have in mind?

The one responsible for this mess.

Jonah... it's not my fault.

I know it's not, my dear.

It's hers.

So you know how to break
into Chase's house

because you've been stalking
him since preschool?

No, because we were astronomy
partners in eighth grade.

His dad has a telescope on the roof,

so we used to sneak in through here.

I did most of the stargazing.

He spent the entire time
playing Candy Crush

and sexting Eiffel.

[clanging]

Shh! Girl, quiet!

- Sorry, that was me.
- [clanging, roaring]

Unless that is who you're referring to.

[whines]

[snuffles]

Follow me.

The weirdest thing isn't that my parents

left me a mysterious key

with an even more mysterious note

telling me to find my stuffed elephant.

It's that my elephant isn't lost.

What does it mean?

We can figure it out in the morning.

Right now you need to sleep.

I did lose him one time.

I left him on a train.

I was so upset.

But then my dad told us all
to jump back in the car

and we drove to the next station.

We b*at the train there,

and Elian was exactly where I left him.

Is there a train station around here?

There's a Metrolink.

We can go down there in the morning
if you'd like. [speaks Spanish]

Sounds good.


[Frank] Chase, you shouldn't be
down here right now.

- Chase, Chase...
- Get outta my way, man.

Get out of my way, Mr. Dean.

No offense, but if you
do not step aside,

I will drop you.

I appreciate how much you care

about your father right now.

I really do, but I think it'd be best

if you just went back upstairs.

- No, just...
- Whoa, and I know

you might've missed
a string of action movies

that I made in the early aughts
for the Chinese market,

but my martial arts training,
it's very real.

- I don't want to have to hurt you.
- Just let me see my dad!

Let me see my dad!

Please.

He's gonna be okay.

Just have some faith, son.

Jonah's here.

Wait, who is that guy?

- I've got this.
- Karolina?

Chase, you're hurt. Why don't you
go back up to your room, okay?

Gert's waiting for you.
I'll be up in a second.

- Okay.
- Okay. Come on.

Karolina, what are you doing here?

I was gonna ask you the same thing.

There was an accident. Victor got hurt.

The Steins asked some
of their closest friends

to come over and help.

Dad, Victor Stein
doesn't have any friends.

That's PRIDE that's down there,

which you told me you weren't a part of!

Dad, you were the only one

that is good, Dad, please!

Honey, what are you talking about?

Do you know what they do?

PRIDE? They raise money
for charity, honey,

that school they're building.

No. No, Dad, that is not it.

That is not it at all.

Then tell me what it is.

Tell me about it.

This night has been so weird.

[roars]

Holy sh*t! Gert, look out!

Chase, chill. Also, lacrosse sticks

are not the cure-all for everything.

That thing already tried to k*ll us!

She listens to me and protects me,

which means if I say so,
she protects us.

- Hey...
- [snuffles]

Hey...

- [roars]
- [gasps]

[Gert] Okay, you know,

maybe I should just do the touching.

Got it.

Wait, why does he get to decide?

Maybe somebody else
should be sacrificed.

How 'bout a show of hands?

This isn't Survivor, Janet.

You can't convince us to vote
someone else off the island.

But any one of you would've done
the exact same thing

if you were in my shoes.
Tell me I'm wrong!

I'm willing to say I'm Spartacus
if everyone else is.

The decision has been made.
We all heard Jonah.

Actually, this is all your fault!

Whatever Jonah Juice
he injected into Victor

did something to him,
something terrible,

so if anyone is to blame here, it's you!

We both know that's not gonna happen.
Nice try, though.

No offense, Janet, but the team
can survive without you.

It's not like you ever really
brought anything to the table.

- Is that really necessary?
- No, no, it's okay.

I'm glad she finally said it to my face.

You've always judged me
for being a stay-at-home mom,

but the truth is,
I could've done something else.

I could've invented something
and changed the world,

but instead my life
became about managing

the brilliant Victor Stein.

So you guys, you all took Jonah's gifts

and you got success and fame,

and I got an abusive megalomaniac!

[Geoffrey] We know Victor wasn't easy,

but if you'd come to us before,
we could've helped.

Really? Would any of you
have actually stood up to him?

I guess now we'll never know.

You know what? Shut up, Catherine.

It's time to embrace the light, Janet.

What about Dale?

Look at Dale.
What's so great about Dale?

What's Dale ever done for PRIDE?

Research that's proven crucial
to our mission,

not to mention patenting
a mind-wipe drug

that everyone here's found
pretty valuable.

Um, we developed that patent together,

in case anybody was
gonna vote against me.

We did. Of course.

But when push came to shove,

neither one of you could save Victor.

We only needed to save Victor

because you sh*t him, Janet.

Why don't we go get Frank?

Put him in the box.
He's not even in PRIDE.

Not the worst idea.

Look, I don't care who you pick.

Victor is the only one of you

that's actually necessary
for this to work.

The dig is about to start,
and his time is just about up,

so I would appreciate it
if you choose quickly.

Because if I don't
revive him, you all die.

And so do your children.

- Okay, that is not necessary.
- That is not fair!

- Janet, get in the box!
- Jonah is the one to blame!

[overlapping shouting]

All right, enough! Stop!

When my girls are involved,
that is where I draw the line.

Now somebody is getting
in the g*dd*mn box,

and personally, I don't mind
if it's Tina.

I'm just putting it out there.
That's my vote.

Dale, what are you doing with a g*n?

It was on the table.

Do you even know how to fire it?

Nope! That means I am unpredictable

and therefore much more dangerous!

Okay, now, let's go now!

[cocking]

Put the g*n down, Dale.

Crap. He got the drop on me.

I said drop it, Yorkes!

I wasn't gonna hurt anybody, man.
You know that.

Right, okay, I'm just thinking
about my kids.

I'm not playing with you.

All right, man. It's me, Dale.
I'm dropping it.

- [g*nsh*t]
- [screaming]

What the hell, man!

Who does that?

See? Box him.

Come on, we're all
on the same side here, right?

Time is running out.

I'll make this easy for you.

It's a family problem.

Either you get in the box,

or your son gets in the box.

I'll go.

- Janet, wait, no.
- I'll go. I'm gonna go.

Robert, what are you doing?

I just have something private

I'd like to say before it's too late.

Can we have a moment alone?

Please?

You got two minutes.

[sighs]

[relieved sigh]

You don't need to do this.

Yes, I actually do.

This is what's best for everyone.

Not for me.

Oh, that's sweet. You're sweet,

but this is... this is my time.

Then you should at least
get to say goodbye.

He's gonna miss you terribly.

How am I even supposed to face him,

let alone say goodbye?

Think about what it'll do to him

if he never gets to have that moment.

I have to say goodbye to my son.

- Absolutely not.
- I'm not gonna tell him anything.

I just want to hug him for a final time.

He's my baby. Please.

[Catherine] She deserves that chance.

That's what we would want.

We wouldn't be in this position.

You sure?

Um, I don't think
you have to worry about that.

- Oh, boy.
- And why is that?

Robert's getting in the box.

[gasps]

If anyone dies tonight, it's me.

Robert, please, don't do this.

You're being irrational.

What do you even care, Tina?

I've done nothing
but humiliate you, betray you.

I let you down. I let our girls down.

I couldn't protect Amy.

Janet saves her child,
and for that she needs to die?

This...

This is the honorable thing to do.

This works, too.

At this point in time, he's expendable.

But he's still my husband.

Don't do that!

This is Nico.

Do people even leave messages anymore?

Please, Nico, I can't apologize enough.

Call me back so we can talk.

I'm still at Timely, just waiting.

- [beep]
- [Tina] What I want to know is

what Victor's gonna do with that box.

Holy sh*t, it's decrypted.

You guys better get over here.

[Leslie] Brooks here
is going to get into it.

Just follow the light, Brooks.

When it comes for you, go with it.

[Brooks] Whatever you say, Mrs. Dean.

What have you done?

And for Robert?

You wouldn't understand.

No, you don't understand.

You don't understand what it means

to destroy one of the boxes

when the only person who knows

how to make one is legally dead.

What, are you gonna blast me
with that thing?

Go right ahead.

I'm thinking more
of smacking you with it.

Enough, enough, enough, enough, enough.

Come on, come on. No one enjoys

a good cat fight more than me,

and the thought of you two going at it

would be one for the ages,

but I think we've had enough drama

for one night, don't you think?

I'm fine. I told you it was
gonna be the last sacrifice,

and I meant it.

Sorry.

Apology accepted.

I'm fine.

[speaking Japanese]

[continues in Japanese]

What about Victor?

Well, you seem pumped.

Either you've forgiven me,

or you have a secret fetish
for snuff films.

I found the backpack.

- Holy sh*t.
- And her phone.

It was dead, but it's charging.

And I prayed to the maiden,
the mother, and the crone

that there's something on it
that leads to the truth.

That's amazing, Nico.

I don't know much
about maidens and crones,

but I do know what it means to you

to finally have your answers.

No thanks to you.

And she's back, mad Nico. Got it.

You watched the whole thing?

Scrolled through it.

How bad is it?

It's the worst thing

I've ever seen,

possibly that anyone has ever seen.

What just happened?

Well, I can't fully revive him
without a sacrifice.

However, a jolt from the
inner coil should be enough

to keep his mitochondria
nourished for a time.

- Should be?
- Yeah.

Is he gonna be okay?

That's what we're all hoping for.

Fellas, a hand, please.

The last time we did something like this

was at Gene and Alice's funeral.

We've never done something like this.

Honey, you still awake?

How's Dad? Is he alive?

PRIDE's taking care of him.

He's being given great care...

exceptional care,
so I don't want you to worry.

When Dad gets better...

I really want another chance
with him, you know?

What do you think?

I think he would love that.

Way to front to your mom.

Alex texted us. We have to go.

[traffic passing]

[distant chatter]

Twenty, twenty, twenty...

Come on.

What is this?

I don't want to watch it.

Yeah, you don't have to.

They all start off different,
but they all end the same.

Still, there's something
I don't understand.

Our parents.

Tell me about it.

No, I mean, they don't like it.

It bothers them.

Then why do they do it?

I don't know.

I mean, that's the question
we've been asking ourselves

from the beginning,
and we still have no clue.

[vehicle approaches]

Hey, girl, stay here.

Got it all right here,

all the proof we need
to put 'em away forever.

Where are we sending it first?

We don't.

There's so much that we
don't understand. Too much.

And now, if something happens
to PRIDE, my dad dies.

This video can't get out.

I agree.

You do? Since when?

Since I spoke to my dad,
and I think he could help us.

Well, if Frank Dean is our only hope,

we are way more screwed than I realized.

You two want to back out now?

No. No way. All right,
we've come too far.

If you guys don't want to go through
with it, fine, the rest of us will.

- Give me the laptop!
- Not your choice, Chase.

- Wilder, I can't let you do this.
- It's not up to you!

- [Gert] Hey. Hey! Hey!
- [Nico] What's wrong with you?

Nico? Stop, guys!

- Hey!
- Oh, sh*t!

[Nico] Are you kidding me?

[Gert] Alex... guys!

- Guys, no!
- Guys, stop!

Chase! No, no, no! Chase!

- [overlapping shouts]
- Don't! Chase, no!

[all] Chase!

The hell are you doing?!

Hey, Chase, g*dd*mn it!

[Nico] Are you kidding me!

What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

[dings]

Come on, faster!
