166
00:07:10,604 --> 00:07:14,651
- In the garage,
because I made a new one.

167
00:07:14,738 --> 00:07:17,524
- A display case.

168
00:07:17,611 --> 00:07:19,308
Right by your bed...

171

I think he likes it.
Look at that.

172

- [chuckles dryly]
- Oh. Oh.

173
00:07:35,367 --> 00:07:38,022
Maybe the case is overkill.

174
00:07:38,109 --> 00:07:42,766
I-I just didn't know how
to thank a big, golden stick.

175
00:07:42,853 --> 00:07:45,247
I mean, the Staff's the reason
why I'm not dead now.

176
00:07:45,334 --> 00:07:47,292
- I've been wanting
to talk to you about that,

177
00:07:47,379 --> 00:07:50,034
but I didn't wanna be rude.

178
00:07:50,121 --> 00:07:51,079
- Oh, how I'm back?

179
00:07:51,166 --> 00:07:52,297
Yeah, I'm still trying

180
00:07:52,384 --> 00:07:54,604
to figure that out exactly.

181
00:07:54,691 --> 00:07:59,435
Did I mention that I woke up
in my own coffin?

182
00:07:59,522 --> 00:08:02,525
Yeah. I used to be
a pretty cool superhero,

183
00:08:02,612 --> 00:08:08,270
but it's hard to keep your cool
when you're buried alive.

184
00:08:08,357 --> 00:08:12,056
So I did a lot of screaming.

185
00:08:12,143 --> 00:08:15,190
And when I dug myself out,

186
00:08:15,277 --> 00:08:19,542
I somehow was completely fine.

187
00:08:19,629 --> 00:08:21,718
I don't understand it,

188
00:08:21,805 --> 00:08:26,810
but I think when you formed
the bond with Cosmo over there,

189
00:08:26,897 --> 00:08:30,335
it woke up the bond
I have with him too.

190
00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:35,906
- If-if you're reconsidering
what you said

191
00:08:35,993 --> 00:08:39,170
about letting me
keep the Staff,

192
00:08:39,257 --> 00:08:45,176
just tell me now
so I can figure out what--

193
00:08:45,263 --> 00:08:48,266
- Oh, no. No, no.
The Staff, it chose you.

194
00:08:48,353 --> 00:08:51,226
It did.

195
00:08:51,313 --> 00:08:53,228
I'm done being Starman.

196
00:09:00,627 --> 00:09:03,499
- What is it?

197
00:09:03,586 --> 00:09:06,154
I thought that you were excited
that Sylvester's here.

198
00:09:06,241 --> 00:09:08,156
- No, I-I am, Pat.

199
00:09:08,243 --> 00:09:10,288
I just...
[sighs]

200
00:09:10,375 --> 00:09:12,726
- What?

201
00:09:12,813 --> 00:09:14,423
- He put a lot of hard work

202
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:16,860
into building
that display case.

203
00:09:16,947 --> 00:09:18,340
And then he was talking

204
00:09:18,427 --> 00:09:20,603
about the bond
he has with the Staff.

205
00:09:20,690 --> 00:09:24,389
- Yeah. But see, I think that's
exactly why he can show you

206
00:09:24,476 --> 00:09:27,436
how to do things with it
that I never could.

207
00:09:27,523 --> 00:09:29,873
I think that there's
a real opportunity here, Court,

208
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,701
for you to learn
directly from him.

209
00:09:31,788 --> 00:09:33,747
He really knows
what he's doing.

210
00:09:33,834 --> 00:09:37,751
And while he teaches you
how to be a better Stargirl,

211
00:09:37,838 --> 00:09:39,796
I can help him figure out

212
00:09:39,883 --> 00:09:43,104
how to navigate
his life post-Starman.

we have got to get together

She'll be thrilled.

- Well, I'm locking the door.

226
00:10:16,877 --> 00:10:19,314

to trust them.

00:10:19,401 --> 00:10:21,055
- Trust who?
The Crocks?

228

Are you kidding me?

229
00:10:22,709 --> 00:10:24,406
- They're not our enemies
anymore.

230
00:10:24,493 --> 00:10:27,235
- Hey, you're very trusting,
all right?

231
00:10:27,322 --> 00:10:28,628
And that's a great quality,

232
00:10:28,715 --> 00:10:30,455
but when it comes
to people like that,

233
00:10:30,542 --> 00:10:32,196
you gotta be very careful.

234
00:10:32,283 --> 00:10:35,286
- We can really make
a difference in the world, Pat.

235

We can help the bad guys
break...good.

If we could all learn
to trust each other,

be better people for it,

Mr. Dugan.

I am here to make amends.

Oh, and I brought your mail.

00:11:09,756 --> 00:11:13,411
Now, I realize my reappearance
in Blue Valley is,

248
00:11:13,498 --> 00:11:18,678
well, a surprise to you both
and maybe even a worry.

I'm sorry to admit,
but, well,

I've come straight
to your doorstep

251
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:27,034
to assure you fine folks
that my intentions

252
00:11:27,121 --> 00:11:29,297
are only to follow
the wonderful examples

that the others in my ilk
have set forth.

the thing is,

you're not afforded the same
courtesy that other people are.

everyone else helped us
save Blue Valley.

259
00:11:47,141 --> 00:11:52,059
- Yes, I heard all about
that devilish business

260
00:11:52,146 --> 00:11:54,409
with the Black Diamond
and Eclipso.

[shudders]
Ooh.

262
00:11:56,237 --> 00:11:57,281
- Heard it from who?

263
00:11:57,368 --> 00:11:59,631
- "From whom" would be proper.

264
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:02,722
Needless to say, I--

265
00:12:02,809 --> 00:12:06,813
well, I've had a change
of heart myself as of late.

266
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:10,338
- And what exactly caused this
so-called change of heart?

267
00:12:10,425 --> 00:12:14,342
- Well, trying to hide traces
of me in the digital world,

268
00:12:14,429 --> 00:12:17,780
I uncovered a birth certificate
from some years back.

00:12:17,867 --> 00:12:19,477
I have a daughter.

Her name's Becky.

00:12:22,089 --> 00:12:24,439
Her mother gave her up
for adoption,

272
00:12:24,526 --> 00:12:27,834
so I'm having trouble
locating her.

Is that what you're saying?

00:12:32,316 --> 00:12:35,667
- Oh, I have
no delusions there.

276
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:37,104
I am not a role model

277
00:12:37,191 --> 00:12:40,150
for anyone to look up to,
not like you.

278

No, sir.
[chuckles]

I know that.

280
00:12:44,807 --> 00:12:51,335
But what I can do is apologize
to the people I've wronged

281
00:12:51,422 --> 00:12:53,990
and become a productive member
of this community

282
00:12:54,077 --> 00:12:55,818

In hopes that
if my daughter wants

00:13:01,084 --> 00:13:04,261
to have some kind of
relationship with me someday,

286
00:13:04,348 --> 00:13:08,091
well then, maybe
I'll be worthy of one.

matter to you so much?

I don't want my daughter
