WOMAN: Previously on "Future Man"...

[dramatic music]

JOSH: Get the fuck back to the future

and do not come back for me no matter what.

I guess we should say something.

Though his worldly body was incinerated,

I take comfort in knowing that

is has become one with the elements.

TIGER: Except for his cock.

That was once a cause of great shame.

I will wear it with pride.

TIGER: He's got two GS-39 hand cannon wounds.

That's no stray. That's Torque.

- Weasel. - Who you calling "Weasel"?

- It's your name. - My name is Wrench.

And there's no outsiders allowed in the NAG.

TIGER: It's Tiger. I'm with Wolf.

WRENCH: That's Torque.

[soft dramatic music]

LEVEL: I see eye flutter.

[soft ringing]

There he is.

Welcome back, Torque.

Your hair looks insane.

I want to hear that story.

LATHE: Torque, can you hear me?

[soft groan]

[excited chattering]

THIMBLE: Are you with us?

Tiger. Where's Tiger?

He's talking about this tiger again.

He's delirious.

Don't worry.

The tiger can't get you anymore.

[groans]

Oh, I have to go find her.

- Whoa, whoa, no-no-no. - Ow! [groaning]

THIMBLE: Don't even think about it.

We're gonna take good care of you.

Who are you people?

Where the hell am I?

THIMBLE: You're home.

- You made it home. - In the sewer?

Huh. He thinks we live in the sewer.

Well, the way you people treat this house, I don't blame him.

We've been out of the sewer for 20 years.

We live in the NAG now. The New Above Ground.

It's paradise.

THIMBLE: Oh, no.

He's got the sand brain.

[soft gasp]

Don't you remember anything?

Were you kidnapped by the Sno-Mads?

Forced into the Fighting Pits of Goleta?

LEVEL: Don't be absurd, Lathe.

Those scars could only be from a Bio-Tech NecroHangar.

They swear they shut those down after the armistice.

I'm burning with rage.

Do you at least remember how you escaped?

Uh.

I was a prisoner...

of the Biotics?

Correct. The Bio-Techs.

[softly] Bio-Techs.

How long was I gone?

Two years.

We thought you were dead.

But you came back to us.

[soft laugh]

I'm in a different reality.

Can you remember anything?

Anything at all?

Only that they tortured me pretty good.

Oh, Torque.

Needles, drugs, a white powder they forced up my nose.

It made me lose my mind,

and be excessively chatty.

After a year, I... I almost forgot who I was.

They took me to the Viper Room.

Oh, the noise alone.

The shredding.

- The face-melting. - THIMBLE: Oh...

All at the hands of my tormentor,

Slash.

- Oh. - "Slash"?

So, uh, did we win?

The war against the Biotic... B... Bio-Techs?

- We didn't lose. - We survived.

4% of us.

You don't remember any of this?

THIMBLE: There's a truce.

The Bio-Tech robot emperor

prophesized the end of the world.

RAKE: They think life on Earth is about to end

because of... you ready for this?

Man-made climate change.

[laughter]

It is pretty hot out there.

Uh, humans have been around since the time of the dinosaurs.

I think we can handle a little hot weather.

They're building these crazy space-wagons

to go live on a sky sparkle.

Those only exist for, like, 12 hours a day, dummies.

[laughter]

Hey, hey! No laughter!

Everyone knows that's the worst medicine.

Good, the doctor's here.

- [grunts] - [blood squelches]

This is healing quite nicely.

I am a little worried about infection though.

But this should help. [spits]

- [squelching] - [grunts]

Needs a little more. [spits]

[pained groans]

Don't squirm, otherwise the medicine won't take.

[groans] What is it?

This particular combo is Lady Fern,

Blood Flower, and tongue sweat.

Medicine don't come much more powerful than that.

THIMBLE: Let the doctor work. She knows what she's doing.

Does she?

You know what? Rest is the last thing you need.

We need to force movement, get the blood flowing

to those wounds while they're still open.

Let's go. Get him up, get him up!

- I really don't want to move. - Get him up!

- [pained groan] - Get him up.

- Ow! - LATHE: Up we go.

- THIMBLE: We got you. - LATHE: Come on, big guy.

THIMBLE: Don't worry. Here we go.

- WOLF: [pained groaning] - That's the sound of healing.

Ah.

Does any of this look familiar?

This is our, uh...

Cluster home.

Yeah, right. Cluster.

Okay, okay.

So...

[wondrous music]

Oh, shit.

Okay, so as you know,

memory's a little scattered

because of the... well, the torture

and the being held a prisoner

and all those things that definitely happened, so,

I'm just gonna come out and ask.

Which one of you cats am I married to?

- [soft gasp] - Wow.

What did I say? Who did I offend?

It's all of us, Torque.

You're married to all of us.

[gasps] Papa's back!

- [pleased squeal] - Uh, oh.

For the love of Festivus, please tell us

you remember our daughter?

[soft dramatic music]

Uh...

We don't know what kind of sorcery

the Bio-Techs are up to over there.

They could have perfected the art of the face-lift.

Impossible. We would see the scars.

That's Torque.

Can I be the voice of reason here?

- Of course, Level. - Time.

When I was captured by the Hill People of Calabasas

and forced to watch my previous cluster eaten alive,

the only thing that brought me back to my old self

was time.

Now look at me. I'm thriving.

Torque doesn't have half your fortitude, Level.

If we give him time, he'll just worm his way into our lives

and drown us in a flood of lies.
