1
00:00:46,133 --> 00:00:50,224
- Hey, Johnny, what are you
doing down here?

2
00:00:52,313 --> 00:00:54,967
- Well, we finally get
everybody back together

3
00:00:55,011 --> 00:00:58,188
to take on the ISA and...

4
00:00:58,232 --> 00:01:00,495
they bench me.

5
00:01:00,538 --> 00:01:03,150
- Yeah, well, Starman asked me
to stay behind, too,

6
00:01:03,193 --> 00:01:06,153
to get the Rocket Racer
ready just--just in case.

7
00:01:06,196 --> 00:01:08,111
- Life on the bench.

8
00:01:08,155 --> 00:01:10,287
Doesn't feel good, does it,
Stripesy?

9
00:01:10,331 --> 00:01:12,550
- Speaking honestly, it can be
a little rough on the old ego,

10
00:01:12,594 --> 00:01:15,466
but I trust whatever Sylvester
thinks is best.

11
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:17,686
- Spoken like a loyal sidekick.

12
00:01:17,729 --> 00:01:20,341
- Hey, nothing wrong
with being a sidekick.

13
00:01:20,384 --> 00:01:21,472
- Yeah, but see,
that's the thing.

14
00:01:21,516 --> 00:01:23,126
I'm not even that.

15
00:01:23,170 --> 00:01:26,216
I'm the JSA charity case.

16
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:28,175
Heck, Pat, on paper,

17
00:01:28,218 --> 00:01:31,352
Thunderbolt is more powerful
than Green Lantern,

18
00:01:31,395 --> 00:01:34,050
Flash, all of 'em combined,

19
00:01:34,094 --> 00:01:36,226
but in my hands,

20
00:01:36,270 --> 00:01:39,142
it's nothing but another mess
for the JSA to clean up.

21
00:01:45,583 --> 00:01:49,152
- Oh, hey,
how's a little eggnog sound?

22
00:01:49,196 --> 00:01:51,154
It's my dad's old recipe.

23
00:01:51,198 --> 00:01:52,286
It's got a little kick too.

24
00:01:52,329 --> 00:01:55,071
- Ooh, I like a kick!

25
00:01:56,638 --> 00:01:58,161
- They got Solomon Grundy.

26
00:01:58,205 --> 00:01:59,771
- What?

27
00:01:59,815 --> 00:02:01,208
You need backup? You got 'em.

28
00:02:01,251 --> 00:02:03,819
- Sorry, Pat. Just Johnny.

29
00:02:03,862 --> 00:02:05,342
- But, Wildcat,
I mean, you know,

30
00:02:05,386 --> 00:02:08,171
we're talking about
the entire ISA now, right?

31
00:02:08,215 --> 00:02:10,217
- Members only.
Sylvester insisted.

32
00:02:13,002 --> 00:02:14,351
Hey!

33
00:02:14,395 --> 00:02:16,353
You got a kid to look out for.

34
00:02:16,397 --> 00:02:18,225
There's nothing more important.

35
00:02:18,268 --> 00:02:19,356
Let's go.

36
00:02:24,579 --> 00:02:25,841
- Okay, good luck.

37
00:02:25,884 --> 00:02:29,018
- Thanks, Stripesy.

38
00:02:29,061 --> 00:02:32,239
Hey, when I get back
we'll have that eggnog, okay?

39
00:03:25,335 --> 00:03:27,163
- Hey, boys, it's Dugan.
There he is.

40
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:29,034
- Hey!
Oh, Dugan!

41
00:03:29,078 --> 00:03:30,253
- Morning, Dugan.

42
00:03:30,297 --> 00:03:32,255
- Devin, Lutz, Marky,

43
00:03:32,299 --> 00:03:33,865
it's a little early,
don't you think?

44
00:03:33,909 --> 00:03:35,432
Did you set your alarm
just to bully me?

45
00:03:35,476 --> 00:03:37,478
- To get paid, paperboy.

46
00:03:37,521 --> 00:03:39,610
- Ah, why do you need
the money, a brain transplant?

47
00:03:39,654 --> 00:03:41,308
- All right, that's gonna
cost you extra, Dugan.

48
00:03:41,351 --> 00:03:42,744
- Yeah!
- Yeah.

49
00:03:45,747 --> 00:03:47,270
- Get 'em while it's hot!

50
00:03:47,314 --> 00:03:49,272
- Ooh!
- You look great.

51
00:03:49,316 --> 00:03:50,926
- Thank you!
- Ahh, I just love

52
00:03:50,969 --> 00:03:53,276
the smell of bacon
in the morning, don't you?

53
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,278
Smells like...

54
00:03:55,322 --> 00:03:56,453
Victory!

55
00:03:56,497 --> 00:03:58,107
- Yeah, see, never count
your winnings

56
00:03:58,150 --> 00:03:59,978
before you collect,
okay, Court?

57
00:04:00,022 --> 00:04:02,851
- The Shade has no idea
who he's up against.

58
00:04:02,894 --> 00:04:05,332
- First of all, he's obviously
very dangerous.

59
00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:07,421
So I think you should
definitely bring S.T.R.I.P.E.

60
00:04:07,464 --> 00:04:10,162
- Mom, we need
the element of surprise.

61
00:04:10,206 --> 00:04:11,512
S.T.R.I.P.E.'s as subtle
as a tank.

62
00:04:11,555 --> 00:04:13,688
- Doesn't he have, like,
a silent mode?

63
00:04:13,731 --> 00:04:17,082
- That's a good idea.
- Silent mode? Seriously?

64
00:04:17,126 --> 00:04:19,346
- Or--I don't know--
invisibility?

65
00:04:19,389 --> 00:04:22,479
- Ugh, Mom, you're--
you're embarrassing yourself.

66
00:04:22,523 --> 00:04:24,351
Let the professionals
figure it out.

67
00:04:24,394 --> 00:04:26,004
- Okay, listen,
here's the deal.

68
00:04:26,048 --> 00:04:27,658
No one's gonna make a move

69
00:04:27,702 --> 00:04:30,313
until we have a plan that
everyone agrees with, okay?

70
00:04:30,357 --> 00:04:32,968
- Okay.
- Hey, you doing JSA stuff?

71
00:04:34,143 --> 00:04:36,319
- Yup.
- Ah, The Shade?

72
00:04:36,363 --> 00:04:37,494
Who's this creep?

73
00:04:37,538 --> 00:04:38,495
- Somebody's butt
we're gonna kick--

74
00:04:38,539 --> 00:04:40,018
- Carefully.

75
00:04:40,062 --> 00:04:42,456
We're gonna do it
very, very carefully,

76
00:04:42,499 --> 00:04:46,329
and it's not something you need
to be worrying about, Mike.

77
00:04:46,373 --> 00:04:48,462
- Yeah.

78
00:04:48,505 --> 00:04:50,377
Yeah, whatever.

79
00:04:50,420 --> 00:04:53,118
- Okay, Barb,
what can I get you?

80
00:04:53,162 --> 00:04:56,208
- Toast and jam.
- Toast and jam.

81
00:04:56,252 --> 00:04:57,819
Court, what would you like?

82
00:05:00,996 --> 00:05:02,780
What? <i>-

83
00:05:02,824 --> 00:05:05,827
- I'm on my route right now.
Don't you hear the dog?

84
00:05:07,742 --> 00:05:10,571
Okay, okay.
Another customer?

85
00:05:10,614 --> 00:05:13,269
I got plenty, Mr. Bloomkiss.
Please just give it to Jakeem.

86
00:05:13,313 --> 00:05:15,750
It'll be in better hands.

87
00:05:15,793 --> 00:05:18,013
Okay. Okay, okay, fine, fine.

88
00:05:18,056 --> 00:05:19,623
I'll take it.

89
00:05:19,667 --> 00:05:22,539
What was it again?

90
00:05:22,583 --> 00:05:23,975
210...

91
00:05:27,631 --> 00:05:28,806
Come on.

92
00:05:35,204 --> 00:05:36,640
- Yeah, yeah, I got it.

93
00:05:36,684 --> 00:05:38,773
Yeah, thanks.

94
00:05:52,787 --> 00:05:55,355
- Paperboy
and human punching bag.

95
00:05:58,793 --> 00:06:00,360
Wish I was a superhero.

96
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:32,435
- What the heck?

97
00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:33,871
Oh, shoot!

98
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:52,716
"So cool"?

99
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,154
Ah. <i>
- Whoo-whee!</i>

100
00:06:58,592 --> 00:06:59,723
- Ah!

101
00:06:59,767 --> 00:07:01,638
- Whoo-ooh!

102
00:07:01,682 --> 00:07:03,335
Oh, yeah!

103
00:07:03,379 --> 00:07:05,076
- What the heck are you?

104
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,384
- I'm your new best friend
and you don't even know it!

105
00:07:12,867 --> 00:07:14,651
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- What's going on?

106
00:07:14,695 --> 00:07:17,611
- What's going on
is that you, Mike Dugan,

107
00:07:17,654 --> 00:07:20,527
are now in control of me,

108
00:07:20,570 --> 00:07:22,529
The Thunderbolt!

109
00:07:22,572 --> 00:07:24,356
- The Thunderbolt?

110
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,185
- As in Johnny Thunder
and The Thunderbolt!

111
00:07:27,229 --> 00:07:29,623
Of the Justice Society
of America!

112
00:07:29,666 --> 00:07:30,928
You're so lucky.

113
00:07:30,972 --> 00:07:32,713
- This belonged to the JSA?

114
00:07:32,756 --> 00:07:34,192
- Yep! You said the magic word,

115
00:07:34,236 --> 00:07:36,368
and now I'm back in action.

116
00:07:36,412 --> 00:07:38,022
- Wait, so the magic words
are "so cool"?

117
00:07:38,066 --> 00:07:40,460
- Word, singular.

118
00:07:40,503 --> 00:07:42,592
It's pronounced "sowkewl"

119
00:07:42,636 --> 00:07:46,466
in my native homeland
of Bahdnesia.

120
00:07:46,509 --> 00:07:49,164
- Bahd-what?
- It's not on the map anymore.

121
00:07:49,207 --> 00:07:50,382
Thanks for bringing it up.

122
00:07:50,426 --> 00:07:51,949
Sowkewl means "set free

123
00:07:51,993 --> 00:07:54,604
"the all-powerful force
upon the Earth

124
00:07:54,648 --> 00:07:58,652
of the magical
and awe-inspiring Thunderbolt!"

125
00:07:58,695 --> 00:08:00,784
It's also a synonym
for the sound on the chalkboard

126
00:08:00,828 --> 00:08:03,831
that drives everyone crazy,
but I like that sound.

127
00:08:03,874 --> 00:08:05,572
- So if I free the genie--

128
00:08:05,615 --> 00:08:09,314
- Your wish is my command!

129
00:08:09,358 --> 00:08:11,491
- So all the wishes I want?
- Yup!

130
00:08:11,534 --> 00:08:12,622
- Start small.

131
00:08:12,666 --> 00:08:15,277
I'm thirsty.
I wish I had some water.

132
00:08:19,716 --> 00:08:22,589
- I meant in a glass.

133
00:08:22,632 --> 00:08:25,766
you gotta be specific.

134
00:08:25,809 --> 00:08:27,637
Oh, my gosh, you look so silly.

135
00:08:27,681 --> 00:08:29,857
I love it when people do that.

136
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:31,989
Uh-oh!

137
00:08:32,033 --> 00:08:33,730
<i>Human, three o'clock.</i>

138
00:08:34,949 --> 00:08:37,038
- Morning.
Nothing like a good sweat

139
00:08:37,081 --> 00:08:38,605
to start off the day, huh?

140
00:08:40,955 --> 00:08:42,870
Wish I was dry.
Did you hear that?

141
00:08:46,743 --> 00:08:48,353
Thanks. <i>
- Well, you're welcome.</i>

142
00:08:48,397 --> 00:08:50,530
<i>You're learning.
You're learning.</i>

143
00:08:52,749 --> 00:08:55,491
<i>It's never a good thing
when other people see me.</i>

144
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:58,668
<i>Reactions range from
mild amusement to sheer panic.</i>

145
00:08:58,712 --> 00:09:01,715
<i>Sent one guy to the ER.
Heart attack, yeah.</i>

146
00:09:01,758 --> 00:09:04,152
<i>He recovered, I think.
I don't know. He was old.</i>

147
00:09:04,195 --> 00:09:06,589
<i>He probably didn't have
much time anyway.</i>

148
00:09:06,633 --> 00:09:10,288
This is fun.
So what else can I do for you?</i>

149
00:09:10,332 --> 00:09:12,726
- I'm thinking.

150
00:09:12,769 --> 00:09:14,466
Okay, I got it.

151
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:15,859
I wish I was taller.

152
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,522
What the hell? <i>-

153
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:29,612
<i>What? You're taller.
You gotta be--</i>

154
00:09:29,656 --> 00:09:32,267
- Specific. Yeah, okay.

155
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:33,660
I wish my body was taller.

156
00:09:33,703 --> 00:09:35,139
<i>- Uh-uh, sorry.</i>

157
00:09:35,183 --> 00:09:36,837
<i>Can't wish
for the same thing twice.</i>

158
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,274
<i>And be happy about that
in this case.</i>

159
00:09:39,317 --> 00:09:42,277
<i>Wishes about body
transformation never go well.</i>

160
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,539
- Another rule?

161
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:45,672
<i>- Well, yeah, there are a few.</i>

162
00:09:45,715 --> 00:09:47,282
<i>Let me see
if I can remember them.</i>

163
00:09:47,325 --> 00:09:49,327
<i>I mean, there are only--</i>

164
00:09:49,371 --> 00:09:50,720
<i>Can't wish
for someone to die.</i>

165
00:09:50,764 --> 00:09:53,070
<i>Can't wish someone back
from the dead.</i>

166
00:09:53,114 --> 00:09:54,681
<i>That's important.
The last guy that tried--</i>

167
00:09:54,724 --> 00:09:56,421
- Okay, back to the point.

168
00:09:56,465 --> 00:09:59,120
So you were a member
of the JSA and so was--

169
00:09:59,163 --> 00:10:02,384
<i>- Johnny Thunder,
my previous master.</i>

170
00:10:02,427 --> 00:10:05,779
<i>And you are my new one.</i>

171
00:10:05,822 --> 00:10:07,607
- Super sowkewl.

172
00:10:11,741 --> 00:10:13,961
- You're late, Rick.

173
00:10:15,789 --> 00:10:20,097
- Sorry, I just had
to feed the dog.

174
00:10:20,141 --> 00:10:22,404
- When'd you get a dog?

175
00:10:22,447 --> 00:10:25,233
- Well, turns out,
the girl who cried wolf

176
00:10:25,276 --> 00:10:27,583
was, uh, right after all.

177
00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:29,019
- Of course I was right.

178
00:10:29,063 --> 00:10:30,804
There's a wolf in Blue Valley.

179
00:10:30,847 --> 00:10:32,414
He's called The Shade,

180
00:10:32,457 --> 00:10:34,416
the last member
of the Injustice Society.

181
00:10:34,459 --> 00:10:36,810
- The Shade worked with the ISA
in the past,

182
00:10:36,853 --> 00:10:38,333
but he quit a while back.

183
00:10:38,376 --> 00:10:39,943
I don't know
what he's up to now,

184
00:10:39,987 --> 00:10:42,729
but he's going by the name
Richard Swift.

185
00:10:42,772 --> 00:10:44,687
He's posing
as an antiques dealer

186
00:10:44,731 --> 00:10:46,689
and he's basically
an antique himself.

187
00:10:46,733 --> 00:10:50,650
There's photographic evidence
of him going back to the 1800s.

188
00:10:50,693 --> 00:10:52,739
- So he's, like, really old?

189
00:10:52,782 --> 00:10:55,829
- Pat thinks he doesn't age.
His powers--

190
00:10:55,872 --> 00:10:58,745
- Are shadows.
His powers are shadows.

191
00:10:58,788 --> 00:11:02,052
He can manipulate them
and travel through darkness.

192
00:11:02,096 --> 00:11:04,272
- So why is he in Blue Valley?

193
00:11:04,315 --> 00:11:06,143
To finish what the ISA started?

194
00:11:06,187 --> 00:11:07,710
- I don't think so, Beth.

195
00:11:07,754 --> 00:11:09,146
He had a falling-out with them

196
00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:12,715
after he helped them
defeat the JSA, but...

197
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:16,632
I know he's bad news.

198
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:18,808
I watched him kill
Dr. Mid-Nite.

199
00:11:18,852 --> 00:11:20,810
- Stripesy! Get out!

200
00:11:23,813 --> 00:11:26,729
- The Shade killed
Dr. Mid-Nite?

201
00:11:30,472 --> 00:11:33,649
So that means...

202
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:36,826
Dr. Mid-Nite's
the only one of the JSA

203
00:11:36,870 --> 00:11:39,786
that we haven't
gotten justice for.

204
00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:42,266
We need to.
- First things first,

205
00:11:42,310 --> 00:11:44,051
we need to find out
where The Shade is hiding.

206
00:11:44,094 --> 00:11:45,661
- All for that, but then what?

207
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:47,707
You can't punch
a shadow, Court.

208
00:11:49,926 --> 00:11:51,841
- Pat?
- Yeah.

209
00:11:51,885 --> 00:11:54,539
- How does one punch a shadow?

210
00:11:54,583 --> 00:11:56,803
- Oh, well, yeah.

211
00:11:56,846 --> 00:11:59,196
I mean, as long
as you're asking,

212
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,244
I did see Starman
incapacitate The Shade one time

213
00:12:03,287 --> 00:12:06,073
using the staff.
- Yes!

214
00:12:06,116 --> 00:12:10,512
- S-so--so we knock out
this shadowy freak.

215
00:12:10,555 --> 00:12:12,557
And then what, Mr. Dugan?

216
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:17,911
- I don't know yet.

217
00:12:17,954 --> 00:12:20,217
I don't know.

218
00:13:22,062 --> 00:13:23,411
- Oh!

219
00:13:23,454 --> 00:13:25,587
It's only me.
I hope I didn't scare you.

220
00:13:25,630 --> 00:13:29,373
- Well, yeah, a little bit.
- Please forgive me.

221
00:13:29,417 --> 00:13:31,854
- What are you doing here,
Mr. Swift?

222
00:13:31,898 --> 00:13:35,075
- Yes, well, your colleague,
um, Charlotte?

223
00:13:35,118 --> 00:13:36,859
She told me where you were,

224
00:13:36,903 --> 00:13:39,775
looking into William Zarick's
collection, and I thought,

225
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:42,952
"Well, why don't we have a
little treasure hunt together?"

226
00:13:42,996 --> 00:13:44,954
Won't that be thrilling?

227
00:13:47,043 --> 00:13:49,829
- You're trespassing,
Mr. Swift.

228
00:13:49,872 --> 00:13:51,308
- Perhaps.

229
00:13:51,352 --> 00:13:55,443
But sometimes
breaking the rules can be fun.

230
00:13:59,229 --> 00:14:00,883
- I was looking
into the inventory

231
00:14:00,927 --> 00:14:03,103
just in case I heard from you.

232
00:14:03,146 --> 00:14:04,887
- Oh, well, and here I am.

233
00:14:04,931 --> 00:14:07,020
- Is there anything
in particular

234
00:14:07,063 --> 00:14:08,848
you're looking for?

235
00:14:08,891 --> 00:14:10,850
- Oh, I'll know it
when I see it.

236
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:20,381
Is, uh, this what
you're looking for?

237
00:14:20,424 --> 00:14:22,165
I believe you dropped it.

238
00:14:27,997 --> 00:14:30,086
- It's dead.

239
00:14:30,130 --> 00:14:32,001
- Oh, well, that's modern
technology for you.

240
00:14:32,045 --> 00:14:35,091
It lets you down
when you need it the most.

241
00:14:52,195 --> 00:14:53,631
- Find something?

242
00:15:08,516 --> 00:15:10,997
- Um...

243
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,651
Do you mind if I--
if I keep this?

244
00:15:13,695 --> 00:15:15,915
It's--it's just an empty box.

245
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:20,006
- I don't really think
I can let you.

246
00:15:20,049 --> 00:15:24,184
It's part
of the Zarick inventory.

247
00:15:31,234 --> 00:15:34,063
- Oh, dear.

248
00:15:34,107 --> 00:15:35,891
And there was I,

249
00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:39,112
thinking we were getting on so famously.

250
00:15:41,810 --> 00:15:44,204
- I really must insist.

251
00:16:08,402 --> 00:16:11,187
<i>- History teaches us
that all civilizations</i>

252
00:16:11,231 --> 00:16:13,189
eventually come to an end.

253
00:16:13,233 --> 00:16:15,975
But now that we're global,
that changes.

254
00:16:16,018 --> 00:16:17,150
We're connected.

255
00:16:17,193 --> 00:16:19,500
We are one civilization,

256
00:16:19,543 --> 00:16:22,982
vulnerable to extinction
as so many were before...

257
00:16:27,595 --> 00:16:29,901
- Yolanda, you okay?

258
00:16:29,945 --> 00:16:33,557
Headaches again?

259
00:16:33,601 --> 00:16:35,168
- Mm-hmm.
- A disease?

260
00:16:35,211 --> 00:16:39,215
Or an environmental
catastrophe?

261
00:16:39,259 --> 00:16:42,175
- How are we gonna stop
The Shade once we find him?

262
00:16:42,218 --> 00:16:45,004
- Pat's working on it.

263
00:16:46,222 --> 00:16:48,007
- I don't wanna be
in another situation

264
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:49,573
like Brainwave, Court.
- Let's take a look

265
00:16:49,617 --> 00:16:51,271
at some of the civilizations
that have managed...

266
00:16:51,314 --> 00:16:54,274
- I can't do what I did again.

267
00:16:54,317 --> 00:16:56,276
I won't.

268
00:16:56,319 --> 00:16:58,147
- Courtney? Yolanda?

269
00:16:58,191 --> 00:16:59,801
Care to answer?

270
00:17:01,411 --> 00:17:03,196
- Um...

271
00:17:03,239 --> 00:17:06,242
- I assume you were conferring
about the topic at hand.

272
00:17:06,286 --> 00:17:07,939
In 1521,

273
00:17:07,983 --> 00:17:11,769
why did the Aztec civilization
suddenly disappear?

274
00:17:16,992 --> 00:17:19,299
- Uh...
- Well,

275
00:17:19,342 --> 00:17:21,649
this conquistador named Cortés,

276
00:17:21,692 --> 00:17:25,087
who sounds like a total jerk,
conquered the Aztecs,

277
00:17:25,131 --> 00:17:26,958
so that was bad enough, right?

278
00:17:27,002 --> 00:17:29,265
But at the same time,
the Europeans brought over

279
00:17:29,309 --> 00:17:30,658
the super plague.

280
00:17:30,701 --> 00:17:32,094
So between them both,

281
00:17:32,138 --> 00:17:34,401
the Aztecs
didn't stand a chance.

282
00:17:34,444 --> 00:17:36,664
RIP Aztecs.

283
00:17:36,707 --> 00:17:39,971
- Correct, Courtney.

284
00:17:40,015 --> 00:17:41,582
- We'll come up with a plan

285
00:17:41,625 --> 00:17:45,194
that doesn't involve anything
remotely like that.

286
00:17:45,238 --> 00:17:46,282
I promise.

287
00:17:48,110 --> 00:17:49,677
- How did you know all of that?

288
00:17:51,244 --> 00:17:54,160
- Turns out, if you actually
read the book,

289
00:17:54,203 --> 00:17:56,205
history's not that hard.

290
00:18:02,255 --> 00:18:03,821
- How much for those cookies?

291
00:18:03,865 --> 00:18:06,650
<i>- Ooh, what's our plan here?
- You will see.</i>

292
00:18:06,694 --> 00:18:08,304
- $5?

293
00:18:08,348 --> 00:18:10,480
- I'm not paying $5
for a box of cookies.

294
00:18:10,524 --> 00:18:13,135
- Look, Molly, you give us
three boxes of cookies

295
00:18:13,179 --> 00:18:14,180
and we walk away.

296
00:18:14,223 --> 00:18:15,572
- Why should I?

297
00:18:15,616 --> 00:18:16,573
- Because we'll crush 'em
if you don't.

298
00:18:16,617 --> 00:18:18,227
Now hand them over.

299
00:18:18,271 --> 00:18:20,273
- Yeah, and none
of that shortbread stuff!

300
00:18:20,316 --> 00:18:22,492
- Yeah!
- A little girl?

301
00:18:22,536 --> 00:18:24,103
That's worse than usual.

302
00:18:24,146 --> 00:18:25,669
- I'm not gonna give you
free cookies.

303
00:18:25,713 --> 00:18:27,323
- Oh, you're not gonna give us
free cookies?

304
00:18:27,367 --> 00:18:29,282
- Uh-huh, uh-huh!
- Come on, let's go!

305
00:18:29,325 --> 00:18:30,718
Let's go!
- Mom!

306
00:18:30,761 --> 00:18:31,893
- Thunderbolt,
I wish you'd make 'em stop.

307
00:18:31,936 --> 00:18:34,852
<i>- You got it!</i>

308
00:18:36,985 --> 00:18:38,291
- That's great.

309
00:18:38,334 --> 00:18:41,250
Look at how freaked out
they are.

310
00:18:43,296 --> 00:18:45,080
- Whoa!

311
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:46,212
- What is this?

312
00:18:46,255 --> 00:18:47,430
- O-okay, that's--that's good.

313
00:18:47,474 --> 00:18:48,823
You can stop now.

314
00:18:48,866 --> 00:18:51,173
<i>- Well, I can't until they do.</i>

315
00:18:52,914 --> 00:18:54,394
- Run!

316
00:19:13,717 --> 00:19:15,545
- No, no, no. Aah!

317
00:19:22,378 --> 00:19:23,945
- Run!

318
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:30,691
- Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

319
00:19:34,303 --> 00:19:36,392
- Don't worry,
we're gonna figure this out.

320
00:19:36,436 --> 00:19:38,351
Things are looking up
from here.

321
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:48,317
Mike?

322
00:19:49,405 --> 00:19:50,885
- Guess who's the newest member

323
00:19:50,928 --> 00:19:54,367
of the Justice Society
of America?

324
00:19:54,410 --> 00:19:55,411
Me.

325
00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:58,936
- You mean us! Ta-da!

326
00:19:58,980 --> 00:20:01,287
Pleasure to meet you.

327
00:20:02,766 --> 00:20:03,767
What's going on?

328
00:20:03,811 --> 00:20:06,422
Sorry about the sign.

329
00:20:06,466 --> 00:20:07,815
Tough crowd, right?

330
00:20:09,295 --> 00:20:10,383
<i>- I knew you took
the other stuff</i>

331
00:20:10,426 --> 00:20:11,993
<i>from the JSA headquarters,</i>

332
00:20:12,036 --> 00:20:13,821
but you didn't tell me
you took the pen.

333
00:20:13,864 --> 00:20:15,431
- I forgot about it!
- Okay, Court,

334
00:20:15,475 --> 00:20:16,476
I told you it was dangerous.

335
00:20:16,519 --> 00:20:18,347
Somebody could
have been killed.

336
00:20:18,391 --> 00:20:19,435
- Well, you should've told me
everything about it

337
00:20:19,479 --> 00:20:20,828
in the first place.

338
00:20:20,871 --> 00:20:24,266
You know, been specific.

339
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:26,486
- You gotta be real specific
with the wishing,

340
00:20:26,529 --> 00:20:28,618
let me tell you, pal.
- No, Mike. No more wishes.

341
00:20:28,662 --> 00:20:33,188
- But, Mr. Dugan, if this genie
really grants wishes,

342
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,364
maybe he could fix the goggles?

343
00:20:35,408 --> 00:20:37,497
- Or find The Shade?
- And stop him.

344
00:20:37,540 --> 00:20:39,499
- Trust me, he'd just
cause more trouble.

345
00:20:39,542 --> 00:20:41,152
- Me?

346
00:20:41,196 --> 00:20:43,329
- No, not you, Mike,
The Thunderbolt.

347
00:20:43,372 --> 00:20:46,723
He's not exactly a living
monkey's paw, but he's close.

348
00:20:49,030 --> 00:20:50,640
- I think he can hear you.

349
00:20:50,684 --> 00:20:53,382
Also, what's this got
to do with monkeys?

350
00:20:53,426 --> 00:20:54,905
- Okay, give me the pen.

351
00:20:54,949 --> 00:20:56,429
- No.
- Now!

352
00:20:56,472 --> 00:20:57,865
- You're saying
I can't handle it.

353
00:20:57,908 --> 00:20:59,475
- Nobody can.

354
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:01,434
I'm sorry, all right, Mike?
I really am.

355
00:21:01,477 --> 00:21:04,219
It's just that The Thunderbolt,
he's too unpredictable.

356
00:21:15,578 --> 00:21:16,971
- Give me that.

357
00:21:19,060 --> 00:21:20,540
Thank you.

358
00:21:20,583 --> 00:21:22,933
Hey!

359
00:21:22,977 --> 00:21:24,326
- Ah!

360
00:21:26,023 --> 00:21:28,199
Guess he likes hanging
with the boss.

361
00:21:28,243 --> 00:21:29,810
- Call him out here right now.

362
00:21:29,853 --> 00:21:31,899
I want to speak
to The Thunderbolt alone.

363
00:21:37,296 --> 00:21:38,514
- Sowkewl.

364
00:21:45,434 --> 00:21:47,828
- Still zipping around, I see.

365
00:21:48,872 --> 00:21:51,353
- I can't believe
you built this!

366
00:21:51,397 --> 00:21:53,921
If Starman had seen it,
I'm sure he would have

367
00:21:53,964 --> 00:21:57,925
promoted you from sidekick
to, like, senior sidekick

368
00:21:57,968 --> 00:22:00,406
or, you know,
he would have been happy!

369
00:22:00,449 --> 00:22:02,538
- Yeah, well, it's not a toy.

370
00:22:02,582 --> 00:22:05,062
- So there's
a new JSA now, huh?

371
00:22:05,106 --> 00:22:07,630
- Yeah, but you know
how dangerous this life can be,

372
00:22:07,674 --> 00:22:11,286
and even with power like yours,

373
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:12,679
Johnny died.

374
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,510
- I remember his smile
when he made that last wish

375
00:22:17,553 --> 00:22:21,209
and then...he was gone.

376
00:22:21,252 --> 00:22:23,516
- Yeah, so what was
his last wish?

377
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:26,519
- That I'd find a new friend.

378
00:22:26,562 --> 00:22:28,782
- Mike? Why him?

379
00:22:28,825 --> 00:22:30,784
- You know how it works.

380
00:22:30,827 --> 00:22:34,396
I can only pick someone like me
to be partners with.

381
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,053
Someone who feels completely
and utterly alone.

382
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,622
- That's really how he feels?

383
00:22:42,665 --> 00:22:45,276
- Right now? Yeah.

384
00:22:50,673 --> 00:22:51,544
- Okay.

385
00:23:04,644 --> 00:23:06,428
- Hey.

386
00:23:06,472 --> 00:23:07,690
So did you guys
have a vote yet?

387
00:23:07,734 --> 00:23:09,126
Am I in the JSA,
or do I have

388
00:23:09,170 --> 00:23:10,519
to go through
some hazing first?

389
00:23:10,563 --> 00:23:14,480
- There's no hazing.
- Oh. Great.

390
00:23:14,523 --> 00:23:16,133
So I'm in, right?

391
00:23:17,874 --> 00:23:19,659
- It's not up to me.

392
00:23:19,702 --> 00:23:22,270
- Yeah, it is.
You're, like, the JSA's leader.

393
00:23:22,313 --> 00:23:23,880
- But Pat's your dad.

394
00:23:23,924 --> 00:23:26,143
That's veto power
I can't overrule.

395
00:23:26,187 --> 00:23:27,623
- He told you no too.

396
00:23:27,667 --> 00:23:29,930
Come on, Court, think about it.

397
00:23:29,973 --> 00:23:32,541
All the bad guys
we'll be able to take down.

398
00:23:32,585 --> 00:23:34,456
All the people
we'll be able to save.

399
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,545
You and me together,
brother and sister!

400
00:23:36,589 --> 00:23:38,852
- That sounds great,
really, but--

401
00:23:38,895 --> 00:23:40,506
- The Thunderbolt picked me.

402
00:23:40,549 --> 00:23:42,725
So I'm like you.

403
00:23:42,769 --> 00:23:44,074
I was meant to be a superhero.

404
00:23:44,118 --> 00:23:46,381
It's my destiny.

405
00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:50,037
Please, help me try?

406
00:24:02,571 --> 00:24:04,486
- Pat,
we've come to a decision.

407
00:24:04,530 --> 00:24:06,836
- Hey, this is not
a group discussion, okay?

408
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,143
- But Mike deserves
to be in the JSA.

409
00:24:09,186 --> 00:24:11,406
- We voted.
- Just call me Mikey Thunder.

410
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,539
- Let me handle this.

411
00:24:13,582 --> 00:24:15,889
Also, that's terrible.

412
00:24:15,932 --> 00:24:18,718
Mike and The Thunderbolt
could find The Shade for us.

413
00:24:18,761 --> 00:24:20,197
- We don't have
any leads on him, Pat.

414
00:24:20,241 --> 00:24:21,982
- And the goggles
haven't found him.

415
00:24:22,025 --> 00:24:25,942
- The Thunderbolt,
it's dangerous, Beth, okay?

416
00:24:25,986 --> 00:24:27,596
- You didn't want me to use
the Cosmic Staff

417
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,685
for the same reason.
- You didn't want

418
00:24:29,729 --> 00:24:30,904
any of us suiting up
at first.

419
00:24:30,947 --> 00:24:33,733
- But together
we stopped the ISA.

420
00:24:33,776 --> 00:24:35,386
And Mike helped.

421
00:24:35,430 --> 00:24:37,084
He stopped Icicle,
if you remember.

422
00:24:37,127 --> 00:24:39,086
- Yeah, I try to not
think about it.

423
00:24:39,129 --> 00:24:42,437
- We need to find The Shade,
and Mike and The Thunderbolt

424
00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:44,570
are our best chance
of doing that right now.

425
00:24:44,613 --> 00:24:46,746
- She rests my case.

426
00:24:50,401 --> 00:24:53,753
Okay, you can help us
locate The Shade.

427
00:24:53,796 --> 00:24:56,190
That's it. Deal?

428
00:24:56,233 --> 00:24:58,192
- My man.

429
00:24:58,235 --> 00:25:01,369
- All right, knowing
how these wishes can backfire,

430
00:25:01,412 --> 00:25:03,676
we gotta come up with one
that's bulletproof

431
00:25:03,719 --> 00:25:05,460
and I need all of your help.

432
00:25:13,599 --> 00:25:16,384
- No!

433
00:25:16,427 --> 00:25:18,560
Okay, but--

434
00:25:23,043 --> 00:25:26,612
- Yes!
- Okay, great, great, great.

435
00:25:55,205 --> 00:25:57,294
- So...

436
00:25:57,338 --> 00:25:59,166
in conclusion,

437
00:25:59,209 --> 00:26:02,735
show us the location
of "The Shade,"

438
00:26:02,778 --> 00:26:05,651
not to be confused
with a lamp or window shade,

439
00:26:05,694 --> 00:26:07,087
but the last known member

440
00:26:07,130 --> 00:26:09,698
of the Injustice Society
of America,

441
00:26:09,742 --> 00:26:11,831
hiding somewhere
in Blue Valley, Nebraska,

442
00:26:11,874 --> 00:26:15,225
68060, USA.

443
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:27,107
- Where is he?

444
00:26:29,370 --> 00:26:31,633
- That's William Zarick's
old house.

445
00:26:31,677 --> 00:26:34,070
- That's The Wizard, right?
- Yeah.

446
00:26:34,114 --> 00:26:37,421
- Hey, you did it, Mike!
- Yeah, you did good.

447
00:26:37,465 --> 00:26:38,858
- Thanks, Dad. Let's go!

448
00:26:38,901 --> 00:26:40,468
- Whoa! Whoa!

449
00:26:40,511 --> 00:26:42,818
You're staying here.
- What?

450
00:26:42,862 --> 00:26:44,254
- Yeah, that was the deal,
remember?

451
00:26:44,298 --> 00:26:45,821
You agreed to it.

452
00:26:45,865 --> 00:26:47,649
And it's safer that way
for everyone.

453
00:26:47,693 --> 00:26:48,911
- No, no, no, no, no.

454
00:26:48,955 --> 00:26:50,739
Come on, man.
Don't bench me now. I--

455
00:26:50,783 --> 00:26:53,655
- I'm sorry, Mike,
that's just the way it is.

456
00:26:53,699 --> 00:26:56,571
- Mike, you really did help us.

457
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:59,748
- Hey, you guard the Pit Stop.

458
00:26:59,792 --> 00:27:01,881
That's an important job, right?

459
00:27:03,404 --> 00:27:05,841
There's some, uh, pizza bites,
string cheese,

460
00:27:05,885 --> 00:27:08,322
and some of those
juice boxes you like.

461
00:27:11,891 --> 00:27:14,676
- Mikey Thunder,

462
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,547
riding the pine.

463
00:27:22,075 --> 00:27:23,816
- Okay, so let's go over this
one more time.

464
00:27:23,859 --> 00:27:26,470
what's the plan? <i>
- Nothing fancy, Barb.</i>

465
00:27:26,514 --> 00:27:28,734
We go in, we locate The Shade.

466
00:27:28,777 --> 00:27:30,561
Rick and Yolanda,
they restrain him

467
00:27:30,605 --> 00:27:32,738
until Courtney
gets there with the Staff

468
00:27:32,781 --> 00:27:35,610
and renders him unconscious,
just like Sylvester did.

469
00:27:35,654 --> 00:27:37,394
<i>- Okay. And then?</i>

470
00:27:37,438 --> 00:27:40,963
- Beth's located a suitable
device to negate his powers

471
00:27:41,007 --> 00:27:43,270
until we can deliver him
to the proper authorities.

472
00:27:43,313 --> 00:27:45,228
<i>- Who are
the proper authorities?</i>

473
00:27:45,272 --> 00:27:46,665
And what device?

474
00:27:48,275 --> 00:27:49,798
- Tanning bed, actually,

475
00:27:49,842 --> 00:27:51,670
your old one
that's out in the garage.

476
00:27:51,713 --> 00:27:53,454
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

477
00:27:53,497 --> 00:27:55,674
<i>- What's Mike gonna do?
- He'll be down at the Pit Stop</i>

478
00:27:55,717 --> 00:27:57,284
<i>waiting for the play-by-play.</i>

479
00:27:57,327 --> 00:27:58,894
<i>It's gonna be fine.
Don't worry about us.</i>

480
00:27:58,938 --> 00:28:01,244
I'll call up and give you
a little heads-up.

481
00:28:01,288 --> 00:28:03,333
- Okay.

482
00:28:09,818 --> 00:28:11,298
- Approved?
- Yeah.

483
00:28:11,341 --> 00:28:15,432
Um, your mother thinks
the plan is acceptable.

484
00:28:15,476 --> 00:28:18,435
- Then let's go get this jerk.
- For Chuck.

485
00:28:20,089 --> 00:28:22,875
- We'll restrain him,
then imprison him.

486
00:28:27,706 --> 00:28:31,535
- With--with caution, right?
Okay?

487
00:29:39,734 --> 00:29:41,344
- Okay, so what's the deal?

488
00:29:41,388 --> 00:29:43,390
- Blue Valley declared this
a historic home

489
00:29:43,433 --> 00:29:46,001
after the Zaricks...departed.

490
00:29:48,308 --> 00:29:52,138
- It'll be historic once
I get my hands on The Shade.

491
00:29:52,181 --> 00:29:55,315
- What does that even mean?
- I don't know. I'm amped.

492
00:29:55,358 --> 00:29:56,751
- Hey, quiet!

493
00:29:56,795 --> 00:29:59,188
Very quiet, all right?

494
00:30:37,444 --> 00:30:39,576
- Oh, my.

495
00:30:39,620 --> 00:30:41,230
Quite the assembly.

496
00:30:41,274 --> 00:30:43,450
I hope I have enough biscuits.

497
00:30:43,493 --> 00:30:45,931
Come, come. Do sit down.

498
00:30:45,974 --> 00:30:48,455
The tea is nicely steeped.

499
00:30:48,498 --> 00:30:51,327
It's perfect, in fact,
if I say so myself.

500
00:30:51,371 --> 00:30:54,026
- We're not here for teatime,
Shade.

501
00:30:54,069 --> 00:30:55,897
What are you doing
in Blue Valley?

502
00:30:55,941 --> 00:30:58,073
- Pat Dugan.

503
00:30:58,117 --> 00:31:00,989
It took me a moment
to place the name in the diner.

504
00:31:01,033 --> 00:31:04,079
- By the way, I knew that was
a 1967 Jag, right?

505
00:31:04,123 --> 00:31:05,211
You know that?

506
00:31:05,254 --> 00:31:06,995
- Well, of course I do,
Stripesy.

507
00:31:08,170 --> 00:31:10,172
Oh, I see.

508
00:31:10,216 --> 00:31:14,960
Same sidekick,
different Star-Spangled Kid.

509
00:31:15,003 --> 00:31:16,483
- Stargirl.

510
00:31:16,526 --> 00:31:18,877
- Oh, absolutely.

511
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,053
Now, please sit.

512
00:31:23,098 --> 00:31:25,709
We could do it the other way,
I suppose,

513
00:31:25,753 --> 00:31:29,191
all bother and perspiration,

514
00:31:29,235 --> 00:31:32,455
or we could try
the more genteel approach.

515
00:31:32,499 --> 00:31:34,022
- You murdered Dr. Mid-Nite.

516
00:31:34,066 --> 00:31:35,937
You don't deserve
the genteel approach!

517
00:31:35,981 --> 00:31:38,026
- My dear young lady--

518
00:31:38,070 --> 00:31:40,986
and I mean this
in the nicest possible way--

519
00:31:41,029 --> 00:31:43,336
you don't know
what you're talking about.

520
00:31:44,859 --> 00:31:47,862
Now, sit.

521
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:50,517
I implore you.

522
00:31:52,867 --> 00:31:55,739
- All right, kids,
let's go ahead and have a seat.

523
00:31:55,783 --> 00:31:57,176
- Wonderful.

524
00:31:57,219 --> 00:31:58,917
- Thank you.

525
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,528
Try anything,
and I'll see how many teacups

526
00:32:01,571 --> 00:32:04,052
I can shove down your throat.

527
00:32:04,096 --> 00:32:07,055
- Don't you teach these
children any manners, Stripesy?

528
00:32:07,099 --> 00:32:10,667
- So I'm just gonna ask you
again, Shade,

529
00:32:10,711 --> 00:32:12,060
why are you here?

530
00:32:12,104 --> 00:32:13,932
- We won't let you
hurt our town.

531
00:32:13,975 --> 00:32:15,542
- And whyever would I do that?

532
00:32:15,585 --> 00:32:18,501
- Because you were a member
of the Injustice Society.

533
00:32:18,545 --> 00:32:21,200
- Our interests aligned
for a moment,

534
00:32:21,243 --> 00:32:24,551
but birds of a feather
we were not.

535
00:32:24,594 --> 00:32:27,119
Jordan Mahkent
and his merry band

536
00:32:27,162 --> 00:32:28,468
were no friends of mine.

537
00:32:28,511 --> 00:32:30,252
Icicle was a lunatic.

538
00:32:30,296 --> 00:32:31,862
If there's one thing worse

539
00:32:31,906 --> 00:32:32,994
than a man
who wants to rule the world,

540
00:32:33,038 --> 00:32:36,302
it's a man
who wants to save it.

541
00:32:36,345 --> 00:32:40,045
Though seeing the way
your generation's going,

542
00:32:40,088 --> 00:32:42,961
I expect you'll
end humanity for good.

543
00:32:43,004 --> 00:32:44,527
- Okay, just because
you gave up

544
00:32:44,571 --> 00:32:46,094
and only looked out
for yourself

545
00:32:46,138 --> 00:32:48,009
doesn't mean
we're ever going to.

546
00:32:48,053 --> 00:32:50,011
We're never gonna stop fighting
to protect the world

547
00:32:50,055 --> 00:32:51,839
from people like you.

548
00:32:52,753 --> 00:32:54,102
- Just to reassure you,

549
00:32:54,146 --> 00:32:57,497
I have no dark design
on Blue Valley.

550
00:32:57,540 --> 00:32:59,368
Stay out of my way,

551
00:32:59,412 --> 00:33:01,718
and I'll be gone
before you know it.

552
00:33:01,762 --> 00:33:04,678
- Why are you here?

553
00:33:04,721 --> 00:33:06,985
- Young lady,
I'm not being coy.

554
00:33:08,725 --> 00:33:10,989
It's just better
that none of you know.

555
00:33:13,165 --> 00:33:15,819
Now, please, try the tea.

556
00:33:19,432 --> 00:33:21,042
- Thunderbolt,

557
00:33:21,086 --> 00:33:23,218
I wish you'd zap the villain
known as "The Shade,"

558
00:33:23,262 --> 00:33:25,307
not to be confused with a lamp
or window shade.

559
00:33:25,351 --> 00:33:27,962
<i>- As you wish, my friend.</i>

560
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:32,010
Whoo-whee!

561
00:33:32,053 --> 00:33:35,056
Ow! Ooh!

562
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:37,102
Ow! Aah!

563
00:33:38,842 --> 00:33:39,930
- Mike!

564
00:33:39,974 --> 00:33:41,367
Mike, Mike!

565
00:34:14,791 --> 00:34:18,317
- I'll say it
for the last time.

566
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,103
Stay out of my way!

567
00:34:38,685 --> 00:34:40,861
- You okay?
- Yeah.

568
00:34:53,395 --> 00:34:56,181
- Hey, Mike.

569
00:34:56,224 --> 00:34:57,965
You okay?

570
00:35:00,620 --> 00:35:03,318
- No.

571
00:35:03,362 --> 00:35:04,928
No, not really.

572
00:35:07,192 --> 00:35:08,758
I thought I could help
you guys,

573
00:35:08,802 --> 00:35:10,325
but, you know, I blew it.

574
00:35:15,939 --> 00:35:19,247
- Do you ever feel bad
about what happened?

575
00:35:19,291 --> 00:35:22,294
You know, with Icicle and all?

576
00:35:25,427 --> 00:35:27,125
- Yeah, about that.

577
00:35:28,430 --> 00:35:31,694
Truth is, I was hauling ass,
you know?

578
00:35:31,738 --> 00:35:36,090
Look up, Icicle's in the middle
of the road icing up, and bam!

579
00:35:38,353 --> 00:35:40,050
He was ice cubes
before I even knew it.

580
00:35:40,094 --> 00:35:42,009
- It was an accident?

581
00:35:44,403 --> 00:35:46,361
- Well, yeah.

582
00:35:46,405 --> 00:35:48,102
Yeah, I guess it was.

583
00:35:49,799 --> 00:35:51,758
I'm no hero.

584
00:35:55,065 --> 00:35:57,198
- We looked for him everywhere.

585
00:35:57,242 --> 00:35:58,634
He's gone.

586
00:36:07,469 --> 00:36:09,384
- Okay...

587
00:36:09,428 --> 00:36:11,299
I know I should've
listened, but--

588
00:36:11,343 --> 00:36:12,822
- You didn't!

589
00:36:12,866 --> 00:36:14,215
- I didn't either
in the beginning.

590
00:36:14,259 --> 00:36:15,738
- Courtney.

591
00:36:15,782 --> 00:36:18,393
- This is the beginning
for Mike, Mom,

592
00:36:18,437 --> 00:36:20,308
with The Thunderbolt.

593
00:36:20,352 --> 00:36:24,225
Even if Mike hadn't shown up,
The Shade was way ahead of us.

594
00:36:24,269 --> 00:36:26,009
You saw, Pat.

595
00:36:26,053 --> 00:36:28,229
- No.

596
00:36:28,273 --> 00:36:29,622
No, I screwed up.

597
00:36:32,277 --> 00:36:35,280
Thought this pen
was my ticket into the JSA,

598
00:36:35,323 --> 00:36:38,065
but now I kind of just wish
it was in better hands.

599
00:36:38,108 --> 00:36:40,763
- No!
- Thunderbolt?

600
00:36:59,304 --> 00:37:02,263
- Jakeem, Mom wants you
to take out the trash.

601
00:37:02,307 --> 00:37:04,047
- But I got a high score.

602
00:37:04,091 --> 00:37:06,006
- On your one-player game?

603
00:37:06,049 --> 00:37:08,922
Get some friends that aren't
Pac-Man and Luigi.

604
00:37:08,965 --> 00:37:12,491
- Move your butt, Jakeem,
before I call your father!

605
00:37:12,534 --> 00:37:14,449
- You know what Dad's
gonna say--

606
00:37:14,493 --> 00:37:18,453
you're a loser!

607
00:37:24,329 --> 00:37:27,941
- I am a loser.

608
00:37:27,984 --> 00:37:31,249
<i>- Yoo-hoo!</i>

609
00:37:31,292 --> 00:37:32,641
- What?

610
00:37:35,992 --> 00:37:38,038
Where did you come from?

611
00:37:48,396 --> 00:37:50,616
- Is Mike okay?
- He's okay.

612
00:37:50,659 --> 00:37:52,748
Court's upstairs with him.

613
00:37:54,576 --> 00:37:57,492
You know...

614
00:37:57,536 --> 00:38:01,409
The Thunderbolt
told me that he chose Mike

615
00:38:01,453 --> 00:38:03,977
because Mike felt so alone.

616
00:38:06,153 --> 00:38:09,112
- I mean, that's on all of us
if it's true.

617
00:38:09,156 --> 00:38:12,464
- Yeah, I mean,

618
00:38:12,507 --> 00:38:14,857
the kid, he just wants to be
a part of the team,

619
00:38:14,901 --> 00:38:16,076
and I get it.

620
00:38:16,119 --> 00:38:18,383
- He is, though, pen or no pen.

621
00:38:18,426 --> 00:38:20,646
I mean, we both are,

622
00:38:20,689 --> 00:38:23,823
even though we don't have
costumes and code names.

623
00:38:26,173 --> 00:38:28,784
I think I found something.

624
00:38:28,828 --> 00:38:30,960
- What?
- Well, I was looking through

625
00:38:31,004 --> 00:38:33,093
Zarick's inventory logs,

626
00:38:33,136 --> 00:38:36,531
and the empty box Swift took,

627
00:38:36,575 --> 00:38:38,098
it contained a diamond.

628
00:38:40,187 --> 00:38:41,667
- A diamond?
- Yeah.

629
00:38:41,710 --> 00:38:43,451
It said "costume jewelry"
on it.

630
00:38:43,495 --> 00:38:48,151
Maybe a magic prop.
It was black.

631
00:38:48,195 --> 00:38:50,980
- It was no prop, Barb.

632
00:38:51,024 --> 00:38:52,939
That's the black diamond.

633
00:38:54,419 --> 00:38:56,334
- What's the black diamond?

634
00:38:57,422 --> 00:39:00,729
- It's something
very, very bad.

635
00:39:05,255 --> 00:39:07,997
- Ugh!

636
00:39:08,041 --> 00:39:11,610
It's still not working!

637
00:39:11,653 --> 00:39:13,220
- It's okay.

638
00:39:13,263 --> 00:39:14,830
We'll get Chuck back.

639
00:39:14,874 --> 00:39:16,266
- No.

640
00:39:16,310 --> 00:39:18,225
It's useless, Rick.

641
00:39:18,268 --> 00:39:20,488
I'm never getting Chuck back,

642
00:39:20,532 --> 00:39:22,403
and we lost
Dr. Mid-Nite's killer.

643
00:39:22,447 --> 00:39:24,405
Everything's falling apart!

644
00:39:26,581 --> 00:39:29,497
- What's going on?

645
00:39:29,541 --> 00:39:31,325
Beth?

646
00:39:34,110 --> 00:39:36,461
Hey, you can--you can
talk to me.

647
00:39:38,637 --> 00:39:41,030
Pretend I'm Chuck.

648
00:39:53,652 --> 00:39:56,437
- I think my parents
might be getting a divorce.

649
00:39:57,917 --> 00:39:59,745
- What?

650
00:39:59,788 --> 00:40:01,573
Did they say something?

651
00:40:01,616 --> 00:40:03,618
- No.

652
00:40:03,662 --> 00:40:06,404
I found some papers.
- Okay.

653
00:40:06,447 --> 00:40:09,581
Well, papers are just papers.

654
00:40:09,624 --> 00:40:11,670
You should talk to them.

655
00:40:18,372 --> 00:40:21,114
I would talk to mine,
if I could.

656
00:40:29,862 --> 00:40:31,994
<i>- Hello?
- Chuck!</i>

657
00:40:32,038 --> 00:40:34,519
Chuck?

658
00:40:34,562 --> 00:40:35,824
Chuck!

659
00:40:35,868 --> 00:40:37,217
Chuck, I can hear you!

660
00:40:37,260 --> 00:40:39,306
It's me! It's Beth!

661
00:40:39,349 --> 00:40:40,786
<i>- You have to listen.</i>

662
00:40:40,829 --> 00:40:42,657
<i>Whoever you are,
you need to know...</i>

663
00:40:42,701 --> 00:40:45,094
- What? <i>
- You're in danger.</i>

664
00:40:45,138 --> 00:40:46,835
<i>Eclipso--</i>

665
00:40:46,879 --> 00:40:48,315
- Chuck?

666
00:40:48,358 --> 00:40:49,925
- What was it?
What did Chuck say?

667
00:40:55,627 --> 00:40:57,846
- He said we're in danger.

668
00:40:59,718 --> 00:41:02,460
He said Eclipso is here.

669
00:41:34,448 --> 00:41:36,755
- He's gonna kill
those children.

670
00:42:02,389 --> 00:42:03,782
- Greg, move your head.
