Original subtitles

- Would you like to talk today, my child, or just sit?

- I...think I want to talk.

Is the devil real?

- Have you heard him whispering to you?

Because we all-- - I think I've seen him.

- Well, the devil is everywhere,

tempting us at every turn.

That's what confession is for.

But my question is, what did the devil make you do?

- This isn't about me.

I mean, it is, but...

okay, something terrible has happened.

God isn't here on Earth to stop the devil,

so...shouldn't we?

Because if we don't, more people will get hurt.

- I'm not sure I understand.

- If I kill something truly evil...

Can I ever be forgiven?

- Kill something?

- What have you done?

What have you done?

- I watched Henry die.

And now I'm gonna watch you die.

The devil is real.

And he's in Blue Valley.

- Oh, no! The sign. Let's get it, Jimmy.

Come on, hurry.

- It's been days, Pat.

- I know. Eclipso hasn't made a move.

- No, the Staff, I mean.

It's getting better, but it's still so weak.

It may have hurt Eclipso, but he hurt it right back.

He killed Cindy and Isaac right in front of us.

And maybe The Shade too.

- Nothing in the news since then.

No deaths, no disappearances.

- Nothing reported, but how do we really know?

I mean... he could've left Blue Valley.

- But the weather's only gotten worse.

- Then why is he still here?

He escaped the Black Diamond, so what does he want now?

What could Blue Valley mean to someone like Eclipso?

- Whatever the reason, I know it's not good.

- We are going to go broke acting like a charity.

Jordan Mahkent, God rest his soul,

founded the American Dream to put Blue Valley first.

Some sewing machine factory in Oakville is not our problem.

We can't go bankrupt saving everyone else.

- But that's 177 people

we'd be putting out of work, Janet.

- And I feel for those folks. I truly do.

But the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

- Well, there must be some way we could help them.

- What is your proposal, Barbara?

- We could liquidate our back stock.

We wouldn't be making money,

but we would be creating a cash flow.

Jordan Mahkent wouldn't have given up on Oakville.

- All in agreement with Barbara?

- Meeting adjourned.

- Emily.

Emily.

- Oh.

Hey, sweetie.

Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.

You doing okay, hon?

- Sure.

- Grumpy Joe's in your section again.

But I'll take care of him.

- I don't know what I would do without you.

Thank you.

- I've been waitin' forever and a day.

- Well, you gotta wait your turn, Joe.

- If this wasn't the only diner in town,

I wouldn't be waitin' here at all.

I want coffee now!

Oh, my G--

- I thought you were holding out your mug.

- Joe, are you okay? - I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I don't know what happened.

- You've been working late for weeks.

- Because I need the money and my mom is sick

and I need-- - Go home.

- But I need to work. - I'll see you tomorrow.

- Oh, God. Oh! - Joe, I'm sorry about this.

- Get your hands off. - I'll get this taken care of.

- Maria.

I'll get this taken care of.

Don't worry. Hey, Jimmy, get him some ice.

First aid kit or something.

- That was a little scary, huh?

It's okay. It was just an accident.

It's blue raspberry.

- Yum.

- And you're sure you can't locate Eclipso?

- I don't even know how to track him anymore, Court.

Summer's not summer.

There are clouds and storms moving all over Blue Valley.

The trees are bare in July.

- What about Chuck or Dr. McNider?

Has he said anything? - Nothing.

I've been trying to reach out, but I don't even know

how the goggles connected to him in the first place.

If Dr. McNider is alive,

Pat thinks the voice I heard could have been Eclipso.

After everything that's happened...

I'm not sure what's real anymore.

- Me neither.

Well, let's keep looking. Stay safe.

- Okay. You too.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Cameron, oh, my gosh! - Hey.

Um...

Yeah, that surprise turned out way less fun than I thought.

Sorry about that.

- No, I'm sorry.

Um, how's it going?

- Good, yeah, good, good.

My dad and I, we used to set up decorations

for the Fourth of July.

I didn't know if you wanted to help out.

- Um...yeah, sure.

- Okay.

- Oh.

Sorry.

- It's fine.

Courtney, if you have to go, it's--it's fine.

- No, I'm exactly where I need to be right now.

- Okay.

- Boy, they really did a number on him, huh?

- Hey, don't worry about it.

We'll get this bad boy back in shape, huh?

Now that you brought me aboard the giant robot train

after I almost died.

Where do you want to start first?

The fists? The flamethrower?

I had this killer idea that I was thinking about

for a drill where we could put it on the left side and--

- Okay, we'll start with lug nuts.

- There's a lot of lug nuts in there.

- Welcome to JSA training.

Lesson 101, the importance of patience.

- How have you stomped the fun out of this already?

- Did you do that, or did they?

- Yolanda.

I'm here.

I don't know. You're the artist.

- I think it looks great. - I agree.

Perfect.

- Oh! Teamwork. - All right.

- Your mother just wants to help.

I haven't shared anything you told me

in confidence, Yolanda, but--

- How can you drag Father Thomas

into your little problems like this?

- Ms. Montez, stop.

What Yolanda needs is love and support.

We've had enough judgment this past year.

Mi'ja--

Yolanda!

- Ugh.

I'm sorry.

The lesson was right here, I thought.

I haven't taught in so long. I'm still a bit rusty.

Until Mr. Deisinger returns-- which might be longer

than anticipated, I'm afraid--

I'll do my best.

Okay, um, have you guys talked about the Aztecs yet?

Okay, no Aztecs, huh?

Um, what about the Incas?

Oh, great, great, great, great.

Let me see. The Incas.

The Incan empire was the largest

in pre-Columbian America,

with their political and military hubs

centered in the city of Cusco...

And lasted until they were conquered

by the Spanish in 1572.

Now, from 1438 to 1533, the Incas comprised

much of western South America,

centered in the Andean Mountains...

And using conquest and peaceful assimilation

to expand their empire...

- Henry.

- In the Andes called Chavín de Huántar, and...

- Henry?

Henry!

Henry?

Henry, how?

- You never forgave me.

I'm in a bad place because of that,

because of you.

I'm burning.

- No, Henry. I--I forgive you.

- My father will never forgive you.

- There you are.

- Stay away!

- I can't.

I'm with you...

forever.

- No!

- Yolanda.

- Yolanda, are you okay?

- What happened?

- It's not just the sounds, Court.

I see Brainwave now.

And Henry.

- This has to be Eclipso.

- This has been going on long before Eclipso.

- Hey. - This is my punishment.

- For what? No.

For protecting yourself?

- Just forget it. - Yolanda, no.

Please talk to me. I'm here for you.

- You don't get it anyway.

You've never had to make a choice like I did.

- Let's talk to Rick and Beth. - No.

- You think you have to face this alone, but you don't.

They love you as much as I do,

and let's tell them what happened.

They'll understand.

- And what if they don't? - They will.

And then we can face this as a team.

By the time I'm done with this,

it won't be Eclipso that kills us.

It's gonna be old age.

- Well, the thing is, most of the time, this job,

it's about working twice as hard

on the tedious tasks,

just making sure that everything's prepared

for when it's needed, okay?

And until Eclipso's found, being prepared,

it's the only thing we can do.

And it's lefty loosey, righty tighty, okay?

- Why don't you just do it? - No, you wanted to learn.

That's great, okay? Wax on, wax off.

- We gotta wax this thing too?

- Okay, Zeek's dropping off some parts for the control pod.

I'm gonna be out front.

Keep on wrenching, pal. You're doing good.

Keep at it.

- The diamond.

Dad?

Whoa.

Cool.

Get off! Get off! Get off! Get off!

- Mike, Mike!

Hey, Mike, it's okay. It's okay.

What is it? - There was leeches.

There was leeches.

There was leeches, um, on...my arm.

- It's okay.

Hey...

don't touch those--ever.

All right?

- Why do you still have them?

- The diamond was Eclipso's only weakness before.

And I'm hoping it still is.

- So why are we meeting here? And where's Pat?

- Fixing S.T.R.I.P.E. with Mike.

- Good.

He can stomp on Eclipso like a bug.

- I don't know if I can do this, Court.

- Do what?

What's going on?

- I--

I killed Brainwave.

- What?

- I thought he died when the tunnels caved in on him.

- I know we said that, and we're sorry, but--

- Brainwave made himself look like Henry.

He was talking to me. He was apologizing.

But... I knew it wasn't him.

So I used my claw--

I used my claws and...

I watched him die.

- Well...

I would've killed Brainwave, too,

if I had the chance.

- Then why didn't you kill Solomon Grundy?

- My hour was up.

- Was it?

Or did you just let Grundy go because you couldn't do it?

Because you're a better person than me?

- Yolanda, you did what you had to do

for our team.

Right, Beth?

Beth?

- I don't know.

- Well, I do.

None of you are capable of doing what I did.

I know what's gonna happen when we find Eclipso.

We're gonna have to kill him.

So who's gonna do it?

You, Rick?

You?

Court?

No.

And I don't want you to.

I don't want you to have to live with that guilt...

to know that you'll always be a killer in God's eye.

So that means it's on me.

I'm gonna have to kill Eclipso to save the rest of you.

I'm gonna have to be the JSA member that kills.

- Yolanda, please wait!

- I'm sorry.

- Are you all right, my child?

Um...

I murdered someone.

Father Thomas?

- Tell me what else you're guilty of.

- No.

- The death of my son...

Henry, that was because of you too.

- I'll admit, I underestimated you

in the moment,

but you underestimated me too.

Even now...

You can't escape.

- While my body died

and you were gloating, standing over me,

I sent my mind into yours.

- I'm a part of you now.

I know how much you hate yourself, Yolanda.

I've been drowning

in your self-loathing for months.

Your mind is weak because of it,

which is why I'll be in control soon.

Your body will be mine to use...

And Brainwave will live again...through you.

- You've made so many bad choices.

It's made taking control of your mind so easy.

- Yolanda?

Yolanda?

Court!

Ah!

Court!

No!

Henry!

- You're going to burn with me.

- I'm sorry.

- No!

- Yolanda.

Yolanda!

Yolanda!

What happened?

Hey, whatever it is, it's gonna be okay.

- It's not gonna be okay.

It's never gonna be okay.

I didn't want anything from anyone.

I just wanted to be left alone, but you couldn't do that.

- What?

- Tell me, Courtney.

Why did you do it?

Why did you choose me?

I wasn't supposed to be Wildcat.

I wasn't supposed to hurt anyone!

- Yolanda, I--

- I'm never putting on that costume again.

I quit.

- Courtney?

- Uh, Mrs. Montez, hi.

Um, is Yolanda there?

- She doesn't want to talk to you.

- Um...

is she okay?

- It's your influence that has corrupted my daughter.

I know it. Stop calling.

- Is she sure?

Well, she was doing so well here.

We love her.

Please tell her that she will always have a job waiting

if she changes her mind.

Hello?

Mrs. Montez?

- Did Yolanda pick up?

- I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys about Brainwave.

I know we said no secrets, but it didn't feel

like it was my secret to tell.

And...now I think that was a mistake.

- I'm sure she didn't have a choice, right?

- I just wish I knew how to help her.

Was this Brainwave or...

Was it Eclipso?

Or was it just in her head?

- I didn't mean to kill Icicle.

Yeah.

I was driving, I look up,

and he's, you know.

It was an accident, really.

Yeah, it was an accident.

- We know.

- It's okay.

- Mom, what about The Shade?

You said you saw him, right?

- I don't know.

I--I don't know what I saw.

- Greg, move your head.
