Ripped By mstoll

Previously on Powers...

You took back
your powers from me.

Didn't it feel good?

Don't you wanna
feel like that again?

It's branding.

You know, the connections
between the words "Kaotic Chic"

and the fucked-up
shit Powers do.

We're supposed to be talking about
the launch of my foundation.

Whose mission is to transform
young girls into leaders.

Why not bring Zora on as the
foundation's first mentor?

You were right.

This is our movement.

We should do whatever
we can to help it grow.

I'm really
glad you said that.

Because, actually,
I'm here already.

I feel a vast reservoir

of power.

Sway.
What a wonderful name.

And he shall have sway and
dominion over all the world.

Allow me to introduce you
to the effects of Sway.

The reward for anyone without
powers is instant death.

What the fuck
have you done, man?

Don't you fucking run
away from this again!

I wouldn't dream of it.

All right.

Now, I know it's a little small,

but it was the only available
penthouse in the city.

So?

I had a decorator
pick that shit out.

Pretty nice, right?

Yeah, real nice,

if you're into bullshit
bourgeois knickknacks.

Look...

Look, man, I'm just curious.

How long are you planning
on staying pissed at me?

Who says I'm pissed?

I mean, I like that.

Hey, you want it?
It's yours.

I mean, shit, I can probably
get them to send me a new one.

Probably even bigger.

Thanks.No.

All right, man.

Come on.

Check this out.

Come on, even Johnny Royalle has
got to approve of this view.

- Not bad.
- Right?

Dude. You should
move in here.

The fuck are you talking about?

It's perfect.

It'll be like when we roomed
together at the squat.

Only now,
we've got all this shit.

Dude, think about it.
The parties will be insane.

Only the coolest people
will be there.

Movie stars, Powers
and fucking rock bands.

Nah, I can't.

Come on, Johnny. Why not?
This will be perfect.

Look, if it's money
you're worried about,

I got you covered, all right?
I'm not your charity case.

What the hell
is wrong with you, huh?

This is everything
we've ever wanted, man!

It's not mine! Okay?
It's yours. Your life.

I don't...

I don't know if I even
want this anymore.

It's a long fucking way
down to that street.

160, 180 feet, easy.

Then it's a good thing
you can fly.

And what if I don't...

fly?

I'm gonna fall, and you're
gonna teleport me over there.

That's crazy. I mean, I can
barely teleport two people,

let alone two people
falling in midair.

Johnny, "Only in extremity
do you find your true limits."

This isn't extremity,
this is a show.

It's all a fucking show, Johnny.

Maybe it is, but that's
not how I want to do it.

Fine, don't save me.

Hey, Johnny.

What?

I know I can count on you, pal.

Shit!

Shit...

You stupid, fucking idiot.
Why didn't you fly?

You could have died.

Shit, we both could have died.

You fucking did it, man.

Johnny fucking Royalle,
you did it, pal. I knew it.

I knew you could do it, man.

Come here.

Shit.

You Okay?

It's been a while since
you've taken a ride with me.

Nice place.

You decorate it yourself?

I lost my taste for
extravagances a long time ago.

Strip away the external
to discover the eternal.

For someone who
hates Wolfe so much,

you're a regular
compendium of his words.

What did he say to you, Johnny?

God damn it.

Hey.

What did he say to you?

Jesus, Christian.

Try to think for a minute,

you can’t just charge through a
wall to get to the next room.

Yeah, okay.

Okay, man, I...

I just...

Whenever I come here, I teleport
with me a volume of air.

I don't usually remove
it when I go, but I can.

Fuck you.

Fuck you and your sick tricks.

No tricks this time, old friend.

I need your help.

I need your help to kill Wolfe.

Allow me to explain.

"Only in extremity can you
find your true limits."

You made this shit
from Wolfe's blood?

I made it from components
of his DNA

that I teleported
from his blood.

Oh, God.

You fall for his bullshit,
again and again.

I didn't do this for him.

I did it for the Kidz.

The ones like our friends

who couldn't save
themselves from him.

Really, the Kidz?

The Kidz you want to save?
They're dying.

They're turning up dead
with your drug,

Wolfe's blood, still in them.

It's not the Sway
that's killing them.

They're trying to do things

they don't have
the discipline to achieve.

Oh, fuck.
Now you sound like him.

"Powers Complete requires
discipline that equals potential."

You don't want to kill Wolfe.

You want to replace him.

You want to be Wolfe so bad,

you stuck a fucking
needle into his brain

and turned his blood
into a drug.

And you took that drug

to try and get your powers back.

I was there.

I saw you with
your eyes all lit up.

The hell are you doing?

I know for sure now.

I have powers.

And, by way of powers,
what exactly do you have?

I know you won't
shoot me if I run.

I know I'll chase
the shit out of you.

Maybe I have super speed.

Maybe I'll shoot you in the leg.

Maybe I'm bulletproof.

Your dad bulletproof?

How do you know about my dad?

Court family records.

Have a lot to say about how your
dad treated you and your mom.

Don't talk about my mom.

Uh, Calista.

You should be afraid of me.

Yeah. Why is that?

I took Sway,

and it didn't kill me.

I'm a Power. For real.

You push me far enough,

that may be just what it
takes to switch me on.

Not again.

Not again.

Oh, not again,
not again, not again.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Not again.

Did you see before?

Did you see what happened?

It worked, Johnny.

I got my powers back from him.

They weren't yours.

No, they were.

I confirmed it with him,
and they were.

That's what he said, did he,
when you visited him?

Yeah. Yeah.

Christ, Christian.

You fall for his bullshit,
again and again and again.

Just like me.

No. No, dude. I flew.

I threw him through the floor.

Janice couldn't do it. Zora couldn't do it.
I stopped him.

They weren't
your powers, Christian.

Wolfe burned through all your powers
like all the powers he absorbs.

No...

What you felt was his power.

That's what you're angry for,
even if you don't know it.

You're trying to
steal Wolfe's powers.

And I'm the one
who wants to be like him?

- Got you.
- What are you doing?

- What are you doing?
- Me? What are you doing?

- Let go of me!
- Do not even think about it.

- Hey!
- I'm a Power!

Leave me the fuck alone,
or I'll kill you!

Well, I am Powers Division,

and you just threatened a police
officer with the use of powers.

Welcome to the big time.

He got us when we were
young, Christian.

When we wanted so much.

We needed answers.

And he had them.

No, it was all lies, Johnny.

Him. The Kidz. Us.

We were all just grabbing
for whatever we could get.

You know better than that.

It went wrong,
but we were a family.

And you were my best friend.

My brother.

Yeah, well, if I was a brother,
I was a shitty brother.

No.

You helped me.

Even after everything changed,
I could count on you.

The benefit concert
is the perfect venue.

So, these are the candidates.

Pick a winner and set it up.

We want a classic
hero-villain battle.

Will Janice go for this?

She will if she has any sense.
I mean, come on.

Something like this will turn the
Retro Girl Mentorship Foundation

into a phenomenon
before it even launches.

So, she's in?

Oh, hell, no.
She hates this shit.

Look, just leave Janice to me.

Candace, this is it.

After this, Zora is at the top,

and you're right there with her.

Done and done.

All right.
I'll get it set up,

and I'll make sure
Zora's prepped.

Yeah. I'm not so sure
about that.

I mean...

Zara's... She's already
really high-strung.

She is.
She's a little stiff.

You're saying don't tell Zora?

We need strong video
to cement her rep.

If this ends up looking
like community theater,

she will never be an A-list star.
No, it's gotta be real.

Craig, she has a right to know.

And we're supposed to be looking
out for her best interests.

We are.

Come on.

You fucked up your whole
life trying to save Wolfe.

Hundreds of people are dead,

and now you want to kill him?

He told me...

I don't want to hear his
lies come out of your mouth.

If you want to kill him,

fucking teleport into his
cell with a fucking gun,

and shoot him
in the fucking head.

I can't teleport
out of the Drainer.

I don't want to sacrifice
my freedom if I don't have to.

You don't have to.

They're going to drain him
permanently anyway.

And what if it doesn't work?

What if the Drainer fails?
You know that can happen.

Then he's still locked up.

And you get a chance
to steal his powers.

Right, Christian?

You know what? I'm...
Get me out of here.

Suffocate me, do whatever the fuck you
want to do, because I'm done listening.

- Nothing I can say?
- There's nothing you can say.

All right, then.

Jesus Christ, Johnny.
No!

Shit.

Fuck, man. It's not fucking funny.
It's not funny.

It's pretty fucking funny.

Fuck.

Oh, I'm too old for this shit.

I made Sway out of
Wolfe, Christian.

And now he's connected to
everyone who's ever taken it.

And he can suck their
powers out from anywhere.

Jesus, Johnny. Fuck!

The Drainer fails, he can absorb

hundreds of powers.

He will be unstoppable,
and they will all die.

Including you and Calista.

I'm going to kill him
with or without you.

If you want powers,

your only chance
is to go in there with me.

You've got 12 hours
to decide if you're in.

If not, then I'm going
to do as you say.

I'm going to teleport
in there with a gun

and shoot him
in the fucking head.

You can count on it.

- Hey.
- Hey.

So, tell me, how does this work?

Well,

it suppresses the release

of excitatory and
inhibitory neurotransmitters,

while also increasing the
dopamine in the ventral striatum.

In other words, if it doesn't feel
good, you're not doing it right.

Okay, now tell me
how all of this works.

Not so different, actually.

It disrupts receptors, throws
up roadblocks in the brain,

confuses the body
on a molecular level.

It can't really be that simple.

The most effective science is
usually the most streamlined.

How does this affect
moving forward?

If this technology
is going to make a difference,

it has to be able
to go everywhere.

So, the new Drainer pod
that's portable,

and a single-use Drainer
pulse weapon, for now.

What are you afraid of, Harley?

Black Swan.

It's a predictive model of the
destruction caused by Powers.

All the Powers in the world.

The inevitable chaos that comes
with unsustainable complexity.

The whole world is governed
by unsustainable complexity.

The most we can hope for
is to be safe in the moment.

Until the next
hurricane or earthquake

or the next Wolfe comes along

and reminds us that we're not and
we never have been in control.

I need to know
this is going to work.

You're thinking about quitting.

I'm tired, Harley.

It's time.

That would be a bad idea.

Calista.

No, that's not going to work.

Whoever it is,

he has to look like
a credible threat to Zora.

Be able to take some
serious blows.

And he needs to be able
to be booked today.

Come on, there's got to be some
aging sidekick in need of press.

So what if they've never
played the bad guy before?

You tell them, better to be
a villain than a has-been.

It's a fresh start.

The first chapter of redemption.

Hey.

Hey, what are you doing?

Getting ready for work.

Boss called me.

Another Power went down.

What is going on out there?
Is it somebody I know?

Jump Striker?

She's...
Was kind of new.

Used to hang around
at the Division.

Wow. Hell of a way
to start the day, huh?

Well, it's the job,
you know, so...

What about you?

Oh.

Just getting ready
for the big show.

- The benefit? That's tonight?
- Yeah.

Hey...

Do you ever wish
you were somebody else?

You mean like Zora?

I'd rather die
than be that young again.

No, just...

Someone who could
get up right now,

walk out that door
and not come back.

Well, if you did that,

at least you'd be free tonight.

Is that an invitation?

Yeah.

Yeah, if you want it to be, yes.

Yes, I do. I'd like that.

Just not tonight.

Because you're still you?

Well, somebody's got to be.

For now.

For now?

What if I did, Christian?

What if I walked up
onto that stage tonight

and said, "You want a hero?
Here's your hero. Zora."

I'd be shocked.

You couldn't. You wouldn't.

We can't keep wanting
the same things, Christian.

And it's okay to want change.

Right?

Yeah, sure.

Sure, we can't
always stay the same.

Friday?

What?

Friday night.
Dinner, your place.

Great. Yeah.

Um...

Yeah, I'll see you then!

Okay.

Jesus!

I didn't know
if you didn't hear me

or if you were just ignoring me.

I was on the phone.

Okay. I might be
late tonight.

Really late, if this thing that I
have been trying to make happen

actually, um, you know, happens.

Okay.

Whatever you think about my job,

it is the only thing that is keeping
a roof over our heads right now.

And when Zora does well,
hun, we do well.

I am doing this for us.

Don't.

Okay, you know what?

There's some chicken tikka
leftover in the fridge.

I'll see you tonight.

Olympia, Bug, Johnny Mace,
Levitation Boy,

five other Powerz Kidz,
and Jump Striker.

Wolfe killed Mace
in the Shaft, though.

When was the last time 10 Powers
dropped in a couple of weeks?

What do you think, Walker?

About what?

He thinks Royalle is killing off
Powers, trying to take over the city.

That's cartoon bullshit, Adlard.

What are we waiting on?

Probable cause.

Nobody moved her?

Waiting on Dr. Death
to give the okay.

The tags are obviously fresh.

You want I should put out
an APB on Banksy?

No, I want you should remember what
those punks tagged on our station.

We will pay your bail

and our lawyers can make the
charges go away in the end.

Thank you.

But I'll be honest,

you'll probably do some time.

No, I'm not going back to the Shaft
for some bogus publicity stunt.

Think of it as the first phase

in the Red Hawk brand
re-launch.

Now, how much money we talking?

Enough to tie up your
financial loose ends for now.

You'd stage a rescue for me
when I get out?

Maybe save some kids
or something?

People love
a redemption story, Danny.

After a lifetime
of being the villain,

you'd finally
get to be the hero.

Can I think about this?

Maybe you're not up to it.

No, it's not that.

Danny, I need somebody who can
step up and really deliver.

This girl is good.

So you have to be
ready to bring it.

So look me in the eye and
tell me that you can do that.

I can do it.

Good.

Hey!

You little shits.

Stay tuned-
There's more where that came from.

How do you spell "bludgeon"?

- What?
- "Bludgeon."

I don't know. It's got a
"D" in there somewhere.

Zabriski, how do you
make it rewind?

It's supposed to be
a facial recognition mask.

Keeps the camera
from making an ID,

looks like a real face
from a distance.

Just kids fucking around.

Can this shit
be fixed so I can see him?

Cancilarra would know.
He's good with tech.

All right, what do you
guys want to see next?

A pony?

Yeah!

All right, here we go.
Here we go.

She's a superstar.

She's just
a kid herself.

Speaking of which...

Everything is set.

- Wow.
- Good.

- So, what does she know?
- Yeah, you like that?

- Nothing.
- I'll sign these for you guys.

All right.

Is that a nose?

It's going to be a nose, okay?

Data recovery is more
my thing, imagery is hard.

You look like shit.

- Good morning.
- Mmm.

Where have you been?

I need every deleted item
off this phone.

How long is that gonna take?

- Yeah, sure, let me just wave my magic wand
over here. -

As long as we're talking about
one's whereabouts all damn day...

I was in an alley
with Jump Striker,

or what's left
of her colorful remains.

- Shit.
- Yeah.

We got 10 bodies,
all connected to Sway.

I know.
Adlard's starting a pool.

- 20-buck buy in?
- $50.

And they're all connected
to Royalle.

Sure, circumstantially.

That's a big word.

Did you learn that in your
personal morning today?

I'm just saying there's...
We don't have evidence.

Since when do you need evidence

to lay at the feet of Johnny
Royalle's every felonious act?

We need evidence
that the court will accept.

Not to mention require,
beyond my personal opinion.

Well, then, today you might want to
buy into more than Adlard's pool,

it being
one of your luckier ones.

- What?
- Who's the one witness

we have never been
able to question?

The one whose every road leads
to Johnny fucking Royalle.

It's not often we get to
meet our heroes in real life,

but these young women you see here,
they are all with us tonight

to share their story and to meet
the woman who inspired them.

And whose foundation
has reached out to them,

to show them that
we can all be heroes.

So please,
put your hands together

and help me welcome the founder
of the Retro Girl Foundation,

the one and only Retro Girl.

Thank you all so much
for coming.

We live in a world of heroes.

And those girls you just saw,

they will be the heroes
of tomorrow,

whether they have powers or not,

and that is the mission
of the Retro Girl Foundation.

I'm not going to say anything,

so you might as well
take me to a cell.

You are so fucked, Calista.

I recently learned something really,
really interesting about you.

You are 18 years of age.

Yeah, welcome to
the wonderful world

of the adult criminal
justice system.

We are no longer two cops

looking out
for your best interests.

We're two cops
looking to fucking bust you.

Royalle's not coming.

I promise you, you are the furthest
thing from his mind right now.

Just talk to us.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Just supposing the apple doesn't
fall far from the tree...

Uh, Todd Dawns Senor.

Assault, assault, assault with
intent to cause bodily harm,

assault, assault,
assault with intent to kill.

And the winner,
voluntary manslaughter.

You can't hold me
for shit my dad did.

Listen.

We... We can help you.

- We can... We can keep you safe.
Okay -

Could I, uh,
have a word with you?

One second.

Tonight, you're going to meet
some of those incredible girls.

Hey.

Excuse me, ladies, could you
just give us a moment, please?

- Thank you.
- ...an amazing young woman

that I'm very proud to say is
our foundation's first mentor.

Zora.

I think there's something
that you need to know.

She's going to introduce you
after the third song.

Once you're up on stage...

I know, I know. You already told me.
You told me.

Bright acts of valor
might garner all the attention,

but it's the unseen daily acts of
courage that change the world.

Okay, I'm going to
wait backstage.

Okay.

- I'll see you out there.
- Okay.

That you will both
reach your greatest potential.

You're also gonna hear
some pretty kickass music.

- Okay.
- What?

Just tell me that was a tactic.

What?
To soften her up.

Get her to believe
you're on her side.

Because you're not.
All right?

- You're not actually on her side.
- Of course not. No.

So what was that white-knight
daddy shit in there?

What? It's not daddy shit...
I just...

You know, she's not
her father, okay?

- Mmm-hmm. - And I just thought
maybe she could use some...

- Can I interrupt?
- Please, I'm begging you.

Oh, nice.

Hello, Calista.
I am so happy right now.

Fuck me.

Walker, you're not happy?
I could dance a jig.

Oh, God.

What?

The kid with her, he's...

Krispin.
It's my old partner's kid.

Oh, man.

We ran the GPS on his phone.
He's at the Temple Theater.

We should go.

Yeah. What do we do with her?

I've got an idea.

So, put your hands together and
give a very, very loud welcome to Alchemy!

How are you guys
feeling out there?

- No answer from Krispin's mom.
- What do we think?

Retro Girl's benefit
is at the Temple.

Lots of press, lots of Powers.

Good place to send a message.

Have you not heard anything
I've said in the past year?

You want your foundation
to be successful, right?

This will help.

He's not here for you,
he's here for Zora.

Are you kidding me?

You are unbelievable.

I will stand aside, and I
will let her have her moment,

but you are fired.

Oh, come on.

You still need me.

Not if I don't play the game.

What, are you just
gonna walk away?

Watch me.

Sorry, Mom.

Krisp... Krisp!

You think you're here
to support a good cause?

I'm here to show you
that in the world of Powers,

there's no limit
to their hypocrisy.

- What the hell's going on?
- This isn't a fundraiser, it's a scam.

Powers don't care about you or me
- Where's Retro Girl?

- They only care about their image.
- What the fuck is this?

And how to sell it!

There's no real heroes.

Okay? There's no villains.

There's only the fucking show!

This, this is the Powers' world.

Packaged, rehearsed,
and 100% fake.

I am Red Hawk!

Zora!

Krisp!

Zora!

I'm here for you.

You can't hide.

Gotta give 'em what they want.

Huh?

Come on.

Come on.
Come on.

What the fuck?

That's real.

- Mom?
- No, no!

That wasn't
supposed to happen.

Can somebody help?

I didn't... I didn't mean to.

Why didn't you stop me?

This is Walker.

We're at the Temple Theater.
We need backup now.

Enough.

But he... He...

Shaw's over, Zora. Come on.

Come on, move out of the way.
Come on, man.

Shit.

Like old times.

Like old times.

You can count on it.
