01x17 - ...Nor Iron Bars a Cage

[bunniefuu]

Come on out, Trukk.

Your days are up.

Time to get back to work.

Welcome back, Trukk.

Been quiet around here without

you.

No talking. Work.

So, I hear there's been some

changes while I was in solitary.

Some new guy in the chain g*ng?

Yeah.

Show him to me.

I'm gonna need to hurt him some,

just so he knows who's in charge

around here.

Uh, don't think you really

want to do that.

Yeah? Why not?

Because...

That's the guy.

Big waste of time, Gwen.

There's nothing we can do.

Kevin's been missing

for over a week.

Not missing.

He left us... his choice.

No, Ben, it's not his

fault.

He touched the ultimatrix to

save us.

It's not his fault the power

affected his mind.

Maybe not.

But fair or not, he has to pay

the price.

It was insane.

I'm at lunch, right?

And this monster shows up and

says that it's Kevin Levin.

He claims I owe him bucks that

i borrowed from him five years

ago.

So... so I say I don't remember

borrowing any money from him,

and, well...

You can see what happened next.

We're really sorry

about this, Barry.

All of your hospital expenses

will be taken care of.

So, that was really Kevin?

What's wrong with him?

He's been settling old

scores... big ones, small ones.

It's all the same to him.

He's not well.

He didn't mean to hurt you.

Did a pretty good job for not

trying.

Look at him... thinks he's

better than us.

Ah, let it go, Trukk.

He ain't bothering nobody.

He's bothering me!

Fresh meat!

You know who I am?!

Don't know, don't

care.

Name's Trukk.

I'm top dog here.

Good for you.

Go bury a bone or something.

Unh!

Prisoner, you're coming with

us.

For what?

Whoa, wait, you're making a

mistake.

I saw the whole thing.

Trukk, uh, stepped on his own

pick and knocked himself out.

Sensor logs indicate...

sensor, Shmensor.

You want to stand here arguing

or do you want to get this guy

to the infirmary?

Warden won't be too happy to

lose a good worker Liktrukk.

All of you, back to work.

You're welcome.

Don't remember asking

for help.

Name's quince.

You look like you could use a

friend.

Looks can be

deceiving.

So can so-called friends.

Real charmer, ain't he?

Ah, there's something about

that guy... something...

Familiar.

Find anything?

I was hoping maybe

Kevin had left something behind

to tell us where he was going

next, but...

Something like this?

What is it?

Don't recognize it?

Well, I do.

Come on, let's go find Kevin.

Just figured out why you're

so familiar to me.

I know you.

Couldn't.

I just got here.

Nah, you were here before, a

few years ago.

You're Kevin Levin.

No, I'm not!

And if you repeat that lie, I

will squash you like a bug!

We understand each other?!

Hey, no worries.

I was your friend, remember?

I still am.

I'm just sorry you got yourself

thrown back into this pit after

everything you went through to

get out.

I came back here on

purpose.

On pur... why would anybody

come here on purpose?

Revenge.

You sure about this?

We're not expecting a delivery

of new prisoners.

The teleporter has been

activated from the other side,

sir.

Arm blasters... be

ready for anything.

Activate teleport receiver.

Huh?

Hey, easy, guys.

We come in peace?

You aren't supposed to

be here.

We're no happier about

this than you are, warden morgg.

There's a procedure,

remember?

Once a criminal's captured,

you're supposed to teleport them

here.

That's all.

Incarcicon is off-limits to the

plumbers.

You're violating the rules.

We're not here on

plumber business.

We're here to warn you.

We believe there's

someone in this prison who wants

you dead.

Everyone in this

prison wants me dead, little

lady.

It comes with the job.

But I assure you, I am perfectly

safe.

Now, I appreciate your concern,

but I'd appreciate it even more

if you'd just leave my facility.

The teleport system

only works in one direction,

remember?

People can beam in, but they

can't beam out.

Guess we'll just have to

wait here for the next supply

transport ship.

That's tomorrow, right?

You knew that when you

came here.

Show these two to temporary

quarters, and keep them

comfortable until the supply

ship arrives.

Thanks.

Appreciate the hospitality.

Just watch your back, okay?

We were serious about the

danger.

Keep an eye on our

guests.

The last thing I need is for the

plumbers to learn what's really

going on here.

You don't look much like you

did the last time you was here.

Different look, same

nightmare.

Nobody touches me, you hear me?!

Nobody!

Come on, if you've got the guts!

Feisty little thing, ain't

he?

Angry mostly.

I know the feeling.

That's enough, kid.

It's time to cool off.

Make me.

Your choice.

Name's Kwarrel.

When you finally decide to let

go of that anger, you know where

to find me.

What's with the mining

gear?

I didn't know this was a labor

camp.

I am not programmed to

provide that information.

These will be your quarters

until the supply ship arrives.

Nice.

Locked?

Like that's a surprise.

As I recollect, it took a lot

more convincing before you

finally came around.

I need...Help.

All you ever had to do was

ask.

Kwarrel took you under his

wing, taught you to control your

anger and your powers.

But there was a guard who hated

kwarrel and his influence on a

lot of the cons.

And while you got better,

Morgg's hatred grew worse.

Yeah, kwarrel changed

my life, all right, in more ways

than one.

There's nothing more I can

teach you, kid.

You don't belong here anymore.

Ain't like I've got a

choice.

Listen, I've been working on

a way out of this pit.

If you want, we can go together.

Whenever you say.

And that's when morgg put his

plan into action.

Somehow he started a major riot

in the yard.

Come with me.

I've been digging this tunnel in

secret for years.

Now's the time to use it.

Going somewhere, boys?

Morgg.

Took you long enough.

I found your tunnel months ago.

Nice try.

Too bad you both got vaporized

trying to escape.

Kwarrel?

Forget about me, kid! Run!

Get out while you can!

I can't!

Don't argue, kid! Run!

I was a coward. I ran.

The sound of Morgg's blaster

will haunt me the rest of my

life.

Hey, you did what kwarrel

told you, kid.

That's all.

Kwarrel is gone, and

that creep morgg is still

breathing.

Morgg's the warden now.

You can't touch him.

He got rid of the old guards,

replaced them all with robots.

Then he started using all the

prisoners to mine this glowing

blue crud down here.

Morgg is gonna pay for

what he's done... pay in full.

Any luck?

Does it look like I'm

having any luck?

Goop!

Ever pick a lock

before?

No. Is it hard?

Let's find Kevin.

This prison wasn't designed as a

mining colony.

What are they digging for?

Let's ask.

Whatever's down here,

morgg doesn't want anyone on the

outside to know about it.

Which is why he replaced

all the guards with robots.

Well, it's not gonna

stay morgg's secret for long.

I'm sorry to hear you

say that.

I'm even more sorry that you

ignored my warning and that the

other prisoners got to you

before I could save you.

Try not to make too big a mess,

won't you, boys?

Can't keep this up!

Nice.

Let's find some cover.

Dead end.

Then we stand and fight.

Humongousaur!

We need to find Kevin!

We need to stay

alive fir...

Ben, no!

Ben, what are you doing?!

Stop! It's me! It's Gwen!

Monster,

where's my cousin?!

Right here, Ben.

Can't you see me?!

Ben, there's something wrong

with you.

Ben!

Stop for a second and listen to

me!

You're not thinking straight!

I'm Gwen!

Look at me!

Gwen?

That's what I've been

trying to tell you.

Sorry about that.

I-I thought you were a monster.

Seriously?

I was seeing all kinds

of stuff.

That blue dust I swallowed

must have made me hallucinate.

Now we know what morgg

is trying to hide.

He's forcing the

prisoners to mine some sort of

alien dream dust.

Quite the career

path... from prison guard to

prison warden to intergalactic

drug trafficker.

You forgot the part

where he ends up in jail.

Not if Kevin finds him

first.

Kid, please, don't do this.

Guards catch us, we're finished.

By the time anyone

notices we're missing, it'll be

over...

For morgg.

I know how you felt about

kwarrel.

I felt the same way.

But you waste morgg and you undo

everything kwarrel did for you.

I owe kwarrel.

I can't just let his m*rder*r

walk away free.

And I won't.

Easy now, boys.

Let's not do anything you're

gonna regret.

You go back to work and I'll

forget this ever happened.

But I won't forget!

You m*rder*d my friend just so

you could make a lousy buck!

And now I'm gonna shove as much

of this as I can down your

throat before clubbing you to a

pulp with your own arms!

Do you really think

I'd walk among you animals

without taking appropriate

precautions?

Think again.

You all wear those collars for a

reason.

What's wrong with them?

Some sort of sonic

feedback!

Those collars are k*lling them!

And if sonics is the problem,

then the solution is...

Echo echo!

You, uh, might want to cover

your ears.

Echo echo!

Prisoners, you are instructed

to return to your work

immediately.

I think our work here is

done.

Game over, morgg.

You lose!

Kevin, no!

Please, don't do this!

Forget it, Gwen.

Nothing's gonna save that slug.

Armodrillo!

Let me go, Tennyson!

He's getting away!

I can't let you

hurt him, Kevin.

Then I'll just have to

hurt you!

Ben, watch out!

He's gone.

We'll find him.

Going down?

You can have half of

the profits.

You can have the whole thing,

anything you want!

Yeah?

Can I have kwarrel back?

Your turn.

Where are we?

We're in the mine's

deepest tunnel.

Okay, we take the

elevator, work our way up one

floor at a time.

Turbo!

Warden.

Nice of you to drop in.

I can't wait to hear how you're

gonna explain all this to the

plumbers.

What hit this place?

I think we did.

Any sign of Kevin?

Long gone.

He thought that slug was

finished, so he took off.

And you didn't leave,

too?

I still got time to serve.

Most of the prisoners

are escaping.

Shouldn't we do something?

They're out of prison,

but they're stuck in the

null void.

That's probably punishment

enough.

Gwen, you see what Kevin's

capable of now.

That's why we have to

help him.

I think we're past that.

I think...

We have to put him down.

What's that supposed to

mean?
