1. Previously on Doom Patrol...Copy !req
2. Who wants pancakes?Copy !req
3. Cliff!Copy !req
4. You told me
my daughter was dead!Copy !req
5. - I was trying to protect you.
- By lying?Copy !req
6. Paraguay was an eye-opener.
All that carnage.Copy !req
7. Cliff, you're a fucking monster.Copy !req
8. It's not your fault, Elliot.Copy !req
9. You should've let me die.Copy !req
10. I went with my gut,
and my gut says you deserve a break.Copy !req
11. - Shit! Shit.
- What is that?Copy !req
12. No, don't!
No, it's an emergency trigger!Copy !req
13. - No, no. Don't!
- What?Copy !req
14. - If you press it, my dad...
- It'll send an SOS.Copy !req
15. This is for your own good.Copy !req
16. Grid, stop! No!Copy !req
17. I have one more task
for you.Copy !req
18. What the fuck is the Doom Patrol?Copy !req
19. Shit.Copy !req
20. Ms. Farr, Mr. Bloom will see you now.Copy !req
21. That only took an hour and a half.Copy !req
22. There she is.Copy !req
23. Come here, gorgeous.Copy !req
24. Oh, what can my girl get you?
Coffee? Tea?Copy !req
25. - Anything at all?
- I'm fine, Sydney. Thank you.Copy !req
26. That's all, hon.Copy !req
27. Sit.Copy !req
28. So, how are you, kiddo?Copy !req
29. I'm hungry, Syd.Copy !req
30. I want the love-interest role
in your new wrestling picture.Copy !req
31. You know I'd be perfect for it.Copy !req
32. Boy, you just get right to it,
don't you?Copy !req
33. Some girls may need to play
little games. I'm a woman.Copy !req
34. I know what I want,
and I'm not afraid to say it.Copy !req
35. So I've heard.Copy !req
36. Scoop around town is
you're nothing but trouble.Copy !req
37. Moody, abusive,Copy !req
38. and there's not a makeup girl
in the burg who'll touch you.Copy !req
39. Besides, the director has
his heart set on Mary Lacy.Copy !req
40. Moon-eyed Mary?Copy !req
41. Please.Copy !req
42. You need a hit bad, Syd,
and I need a job.Copy !req
43. So what do you say
we help each other out, hmm?Copy !req
44. You wanna talk turkey?Copy !req
45. You don't need help.Copy !req
46. What you need is a miracle.Copy !req
47. Because the name "Rita Farr" hasn't put
a butt in the seat in a dog's age.Copy !req
48. Concrete shines brighter
than your star,Copy !req
49. my sweet.Copy !req
50. Hmm.Copy !req
51. Attagirl.Copy !req
52. Show me how hungry you are.Copy !req
53. Hmm.Copy !req
54. Syd?Copy !req
55. Syd?Copy !req
56. Mr. Bloom?Copy !req
57. The bastard had a heart attack.Copy !req
58. You were never here.Copy !req
59. Get it? Go.Copy !req
60. I don't think he's coming back.Copy !req
61. "This user's profile
is only viewable by friends."Copy !req
62. What about her fucking father?Copy !req
63. Jane?Copy !req
64. I made you some "we kicked
the apocalypse's ass" sandwiches.Copy !req
65. Hi.Copy !req
66. I was wondering,
if you're not busy or anything,Copy !req
67. I'm trying to look
at my kid's online thing,Copy !req
68. and I could use some help.Copy !req
69. I made 'em just the way
Baby Doll likes...Copy !req
70. Does that mean you're still mad at me?Copy !req
71. Hello?Copy !req
72. I'm not cleaning this shit up.Copy !req
73. Fine, I'll do it! But just this
fucking once. You hear me, Jane?Copy !req
74. Jane!Copy !req
75. Fuck!Copy !req
76. No!Copy !req
77. No! N-O. N-O. I don't want you to go.Copy !req
78. It's only for a few day s, Baby Doll.Copy !req
79. It's seven.Copy !req
80. Seven is a whole week!Copy !req
81. You'll miss Pancake Day.Copy !req
82. But what ifCopy !req
83. I promise to have pancakes
at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow,Copy !req
84. and think of you,Copy !req
85. And you have pancakes at the same timeCopy !req
86. and think of me? Hmm?Copy !req
87. No.Copy !req
88. No, you're trying to trick me.Copy !req
89. It won't be the same.Copy !req
90. You're telling me.Copy !req
91. For once, I'm going to be able
to enjoy my breakfast withoutCopy !req
92. a certain little piggyCopy !req
93. snarfing up all the syrup.Copy !req
94. Hmm?Copy !req
95. But what if you start liking
your new friends more than you like me?Copy !req
96. That's impossible.Copy !req
97. For one thing,
they have a hopelessly silly name.Copy !req
98. "The Doom Patrol."Copy !req
99. I mean, really. Come on.Copy !req
100. And for another,
they don't like pancakes.Copy !req
101. You gonna try and glue 'em
back on?Copy !req
102. No need.Copy !req
103. Fucking A.Copy !req
104. Guess it was a good day
to be a robot boy.Copy !req
105. Am I right?Copy !req
106. How do I see my kid's Facehole?Copy !req
107. Create a profile,
send her a friend request,Copy !req
108. and wait for her not to accept it.Copy !req
109. I was thinking
you could stick a cyber finger in it,Copy !req
110. jiggle the handle, and unlock it for me.Copy !req
111. First of all,
none of what you just said makes sense.Copy !req
112. And if you're asking me
to hack into it for you...Copy !req
113. No.Copy !req
114. I saved your life, and you can't do
this one lousy thing for me?Copy !req
115. Actually, you put me in safety mode
when you pushed my reset button.Copy !req
116. And now my cyber fingers
won't jiggle unless my dad turns it off.Copy !req
117. You're locked out of your own brain?Copy !req
118. That's fucked up!Copy !req
119. I thought I was fucked up.Copy !req
120. Hey, Siri, what's the Doom Patrol?Copy !req
121. Will you please stop doing that?Copy !req
122. His shit's busted
right now, Jane.Copy !req
123. "Doom Patrol"? Never heard of them.
Why do you ask?Copy !req
124. Mr. NobodyCopy !req
125. kind of asked me to find them.Copy !req
126. How come you're helping her
with her thing, but not mine?Copy !req
127. Feel free to take it personally.Copy !req
128. Here we go. Okay, Doom Patrol.Copy !req
129. A minor superhero team
active from the early to late '50s.Copy !req
130. And then they just...Copy !req
131. dropped off the scene.Copy !req
132. They're so smiley.Copy !req
133. Look more like a creepy
sex cult than superheroes.Copy !req
134. What happened to them?Copy !req
135. - Doesn't say.
- Two words. Tracksuits and Kool-Aid.Copy !req
136. Why are you looking
at pictures of the Doom Patrol?Copy !req
137. You've heard of them?Copy !req
138. If you must know,
I had a brief love affair with Mento.Copy !req
139. Mento.Copy !req
140. Steve Dayton?Copy !req
141. The fifth richest man
in America in 1955.Copy !req
142. The guy with the salad spinner
on his head?Copy !req
143. It's a psionic amplifier.Copy !req
144. It enhances
his natural psychic abilities.Copy !req
145. Our liaison ended poorly
and I don't wish to speak of it.Copy !req
146. No one cares. Start talking.Copy !req
147. Well, I never met the others.Copy !req
148. Niles only introduced me to Steve.Copy !req
149. How did Niles know him?Copy !req
150. I have no idea.Copy !req
151. Did you ever ask this dude
anything about himself?Copy !req
152. Uh...Copy !req
153. Anything at all?Copy !req
154. It was a very introspective time
in my life.Copy !req
155. Do you have any idea why Mr. NobodyCopy !req
156. would point us
in the direction of Doom Patrol?Copy !req
157. Mr. Nobody wants you to find them.
And you're doing it.Copy !req
158. You got a problem with that?Copy !req
159. What, with you doing precisely
what the bad guy told you to do?Copy !req
160. No. Why would we
have a problem with that?Copy !req
161. I didn't hear you complaining
when he helped us stop the Decreator.Copy !req
162. By all means, let's trust
the degenerate who kidnapped NilesCopy !req
163. and shoved an entire town
up a donkey's ass.Copy !req
164. Yeah. Unfortunately,
I don't give a fuck what you think.Copy !req
165. We're got nothing else
to go on right now.Copy !req
166. You're my in and you're my backup.Copy !req
167. So, shut your assholes
because we're doing this.Copy !req
168. Please, God,
don't let me puke in my bandages.Copy !req
169. - What? Where...
- We're here.Copy !req
170. Jane, I want no part of this nonsense.
Have Flit take me back this instant.Copy !req
171. Oh, hang on, let me tell her.Copy !req
172. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.Copy !req
173. Yeah, Flit says
to fuck yourself in the face.Copy !req
174. We're not leaving here
till we find the Doom Patrol.Copy !req
175. Hey.Copy !req
176. Hey, you guys are...Copy !req
177. Trust me when I tell you ladies
you do not wanna fuck with me.Copy !req
178. Remember, it's always better
to subdue your opponent if you can.Copy !req
179. What is this shit? A fucked-up Rushmore?Copy !req
180. Deadly force should be your last resort.Copy !req
181. Okay.Copy !req
182. Okay, kids!Copy !req
183. You guys wanna see what
your teachers look like on the inside?Copy !req
184. Jane.Copy !req
185. Where is Niles?Copy !req
186. I was just gonna ask you
the same goddamn thing.Copy !req
187. It's magnificent.Copy !req
188. How long did it take?Copy !req
189. Didn't think to time it. Sorry.Copy !req
190. My arm cannon overheated.Copy !req
191. What I wanna know is
why you deployed it in the first place.Copy !req
192. To get Niles back.Copy !req
193. The man who took him,
Mr. Nobody, he was right here.Copy !req
194. I'm sorry, who?Copy !req
195. Mr. Nobody. He's a member
of the Brotherhood of Evil.Copy !req
196. He's bad news, Pops.Copy !req
197. He should be on the JLA watchlist
or something.Copy !req
198. The JLA doesn't tend to overlook
the credible threats.Copy !req
199. If he mattered, they'd know him.Copy !req
200. You don't care if Niles lives or dies,
do you?Copy !req
201. - He's your friend.
- We haven't been friends for ages.Copy !req
202. - So, what, that makes him your enemy?
- This is none of your concern, Vic.Copy !req
203. Now, suffice it to say thatCopy !req
204. when you mix in with weirdos
and pseudo-scientists,Copy !req
205. you reap the consequences.Copy !req
206. Enough about all that.
We should get started.Copy !req
207. How long is this thing gonna take?Copy !req
208. Depending on the damage,
three hours at the most.Copy !req
209. - Don't worry, you'll be in sleep mode.
- What?Copy !req
210. You won't feel a thing.
It'll be just like taking a nap.Copy !req
211. No, no, no. I gotta be awake for this.
I gotta see how this thing works.Copy !req
212. Victor, do you want me
to reboot you or not?Copy !req
213. - How big was that explosion?
- Not very. Why?Copy !req
214. This week's Stupid Criminal
spotlight is on Steve Larson.Copy !req
215. Also known as
Animal Vegetable Mineral Man.Copy !req
216. He was attacked by
his secondary dinosaur headCopy !req
217. during a robbery gone wrong.Copy !req
218. Let's take a look.Copy !req
219. Empty the register! Now! Now!Copy !req
220. Ow, God damn it!Copy !req
221. Stop! Stop! Not the face! Not the face!Copy !req
222. Ow! Ow!Copy !req
223. What a tit.Copy !req
224. Larson was charged
with armed robbery.Copy !req
225. His dinosaur, with aiding and a-biting.Copy !req
226. What?Copy !req
227. Is one of your fucking fingers
inside me?Copy !req
228. You really gotta
phrase it that way, huh?Copy !req
229. Get it the fuck out!Copy !req
230. It appears that Niles Caulder's
indestructible man isn't.Copy !req
231. I think I have a blowtorch
and some chewin' tobacco in the car.Copy !req
232. Fix you right up.Copy !req
233. The hell's that supposed to mean?Copy !req
234. Okay, look.Copy !req
235. My dad's gonna power me down
when he runs the diagnostics,Copy !req
236. you cannot leave me alone with him.Copy !req
237. Why? What's he gonna do?Copy !req
238. I don't know. That's the point.Copy !req
239. Look, I need you to watch
what he does, and tell me after, okay?Copy !req
240. - Sure. I can help you out with that.
- Thank you.Copy !req
241. But you gotta help me out
with Clara's Facehole.Copy !req
242. Oh.Copy !req
243. - Please, Cliff.
- All right.Copy !req
244. Have a nice snooze, buddy.Copy !req
245. The Chief started this place? When?Copy !req
246. After the Doom Patrol retired.
This was their headquarters.Copy !req
247. It was Niles' idea to turn it into
a school for meta-humans.Copy !req
248. Mento, Rhea, and Arani,
they all agreed to stay on,Copy !req
249. as teachers.Copy !req
250. How did Niles get involved
with superheroes?Copy !req
251. Niles never said.
You know he has his secrets.Copy !req
252. You said your name
was Josh Clay. Have we met before?Copy !req
253. No. I don't believe so.Copy !req
254. Were you in the military?Copy !req
255. Briefly.Copy !req
256. So, Niles kept his shit tight,Copy !req
257. - but he told you about me.
- Yeah. Yeah.Copy !req
258. You could say that.Copy !req
259. What?Copy !req
260. This is your room.Copy !req
261. What?Copy !req
262. Isn't that why you're here?Copy !req
263. Niles didn't send you.Copy !req
264. Niles is missing.Copy !req
265. "Taken" would be more accurate.Copy !req
266. - By who?
- Some ass-bag named Mr. Nobody.Copy !req
267. Mr. Nobody?Copy !req
268. Who has he taken?Copy !req
269. - You know this Nobody freak?
- Jane.Copy !req
270. You and I should talk.Copy !req
271. Arani, would you mind
showing Larry around?Copy !req
272. - I don't wanna put anybody out.
- No, no, no. Enjoy the tour, LT.Copy !req
273. Take pictures.Copy !req
274. The thing about me is,Copy !req
275. once I set my mind to a task,
I excel at it.Copy !req
276. When I played Jules Niagara
in Three Sabres to Saskatchewan,Copy !req
277. I learned the Dance of the Seven Veils
in less than a day.Copy !req
278. It's a very complicated number, Niles.Copy !req
279. It is, yes. I've seen it.Copy !req
280. So, the fact that I can't seem to
keep myself together by nowCopy !req
281. doesn't give me much hope
that a stranger can help me.Copy !req
282. Well, I certainly understand
how you feel.Copy !req
283. And I agree,
you are an exceptional woman,Copy !req
284. but it's only been a month.Copy !req
285. And we are in uncharted territory.Copy !req
286. Do you know how long
a month is in Hollywood?Copy !req
287. Every second that passes,
my name gets colder and colder.Copy !req
288. If I don't nip this business
in the bud soon,Copy !req
289. I may well be stuck here forever.
No offense.Copy !req
290. This is a safe place.Copy !req
291. That is what you make of it.Copy !req
292. Isn't there a vitamin shot
I could take instead?Copy !req
293. Dr. Kurtz, he will prescribe you
anything you ask for.Copy !req
294. Anything at all.
Maybe we should call him.Copy !req
295. You and I both know, Rita,Copy !req
296. whatever's going on with you
goes deeper than that.Copy !req
297. I believe your issue is as much
psychological as it is physiological.Copy !req
298. And this Mento,Copy !req
299. aside from being
fantastically rich, is a doctor?Copy !req
300. Not exactly. No.Copy !req
301. Ah.Copy !req
302. - Am I late?
- No.Copy !req
303. Right on time. Steve Dayton,
I'd like you to meet Rita Farr.Copy !req
304. It's a pleasure, Ms. Farr.Copy !req
305. Ah. Uh...Copy !req
306. Niles, um, I don't think
I'm comfortable with this.Copy !req
307. This may be hard to believe,
but when Niles first found me,Copy !req
308. I looked like the creature
from your last film.Copy !req
309. After Mick Manly had killed him.Copy !req
310. - You're familiar with my work?
- Who isn't?Copy !req
311. - You're Rita Farr.
- Mmm.Copy !req
312. It would be my privilege
to work with you.Copy !req
313. And what is it
that we'd be doing exactly?Copy !req
314. Learning to, uh, quiet the mind.Copy !req
315. Mento has extraordinary
psychic abilities.Copy !req
316. He can teach you how to transcend
the emotional obstaclesCopy !req
317. that are preventing you
from reshaping yourself.Copy !req
318. That's your game, you read minds?Copy !req
319. I have a few other tricks up my sleeve,
but, yes, I can read minds.Copy !req
320. Well, I'm sorry to have
wasted your time, Mr. Dayton,Copy !req
321. but I don't care to have some stranger
gawking at my private thoughts.Copy !req
322. As tempting as that might be,
I give you my word, as a gentleman,Copy !req
323. that I will not gawk
at anything of yours without permission.Copy !req
324. Starting now.Copy !req
325. See?Copy !req
326. Not a single peek.Copy !req
327. Rita?Copy !req
328. My God, it is you.Copy !req
329. - Steven.
- What on earth are you doing here?Copy !req
330. I wish I knew.Copy !req
331. Well, you look fantastic.Copy !req
332. Oh, please. I'm a mess.Copy !req
333. Not on your worst day, doll.Copy !req
334. You always were a smooth talker.Copy !req
335. It helped hide
what a judgmental oaf you were.Copy !req
336. I certainly had you fooled for a while.Copy !req
337. I was at a low point.
Besides, that was then. I've moved on.Copy !req
338. So, there's no harm in us
getting a drink together.Copy !req
339. Only to your liver.Copy !req
340. Which, I pray,
dies a slow, mournful death.Copy !req
341. I don't know why Mr. Nobody
sent you here,Copy !req
342. and I'm sorry to hear about Niles,Copy !req
343. but I'm afraid we can't help you.Copy !req
344. Well, that's not
a very super-heroic thing to say.Copy !req
345. I'm not a superhero.Copy !req
346. I'm an administrator.
And you and your friends have to leave.Copy !req
347. Was I supposed to be
a student or a teacher?Copy !req
348. Pardon?Copy !req
349. Well, Niles was shipping me here
for a reason, right?Copy !req
350. We had a few preliminary conversations,
but he wasn't very forthcoming.Copy !req
351. Why'd you fob Larry off
to ol' fire fingers back there?Copy !req
352. Like you didn't want me
to ask her about Mr. Nobody?Copy !req
353. That's none of your concern.Copy !req
354. I have a room here. Maybe it should be.Copy !req
355. Yeah, well,
perhaps when you officially move in,Copy !req
356. we could revisit the matter.Copy !req
357. Yeah, sure. I'll go.Copy !req
358. Just as soon as you tell me
everything you know about Mr. Nobody.Copy !req
359. These are our
extracurricular classrooms.Copy !req
360. Niles believes strongly
in encouraging the creative,Copy !req
361. as well as the meta-human abilities.Copy !req
362. You don't talk much, do you?Copy !req
363. Forgive me, but to be perfectly
honest, I didn't wanna come here.Copy !req
364. What was that? Did you see that?Copy !req
365. Forgive the students.Copy !req
366. It's all my husband's fault, really.Copy !req
367. He encourages their harmless prankery.Copy !req
368. Oh. You and Josh are married?Copy !req
369. Goodness, no.Copy !req
370. I'm married to Niles.Copy !req
371. That's one way
to take the edge off.Copy !req
372. Though the venue
leaves something to be desired.Copy !req
373. The most secure room in the building.
Due to all the things that go boom.Copy !req
374. Hence it's the safest place
to hide hooch from the teenagers.Copy !req
375. You can't imagine the hijinks
that these meta-kids can get up to.Copy !req
376. Good for them. You're only young once.Copy !req
377. What is this horrid thing?Copy !req
378. That? That belonged to Ultimax.Copy !req
379. Leader of the Brotherhood of Evil.Copy !req
380. And, unfortunately, the brain escaped.Copy !req
381. But he won't get up to much mischief
without his helm.Copy !req
382. These aren't confiscated weapons,
they're trophies.Copy !req
383. You brought me here for one reason.
To show off.Copy !req
384. Well, isn't that the peahen
calling the peacock proud?Copy !req
385. No judgment here. I'm just surprisedCopy !req
386. that you'd still want to impress me,Copy !req
387. given the way things ended between us.Copy !req
388. Maybe I'd just forgotten
what a head-turner you are.Copy !req
389. I was a belly dancer,Copy !req
390. an SOE spy,Copy !req
391. the queen of Muscle Beach.Copy !req
392. I used to be Rita Farr,
star of stage and screen.Copy !req
393. Now I don't know who I am.Copy !req
394. A blank slate is the perfect place
for you to start to rebuild yourself.Copy !req
395. You just have to decide
who it is you wanna be.Copy !req
396. The same person I've always been.Copy !req
397. Rita Farr.Copy !req
398. Let's begin.Copy !req
399. I want you to close your eyes.Copy !req
400. Take a deep breath.Copy !req
401. In.Copy !req
402. Then out.Copy !req
403. In.Copy !req
404. And out.Copy !req
405. Now open them.Copy !req
406. What's happening?Copy !req
407. Mento?Copy !req
408. It's all right.
You're perfectly safe.Copy !req
409. Where am I?Copy !req
410. You are nowhere.Copy !req
411. All that exists are you and your breath.Copy !req
412. Breathe in.Copy !req
413. Then out.Copy !req
414. Good.Copy !req
415. Now, repeat after me.Copy !req
416. The person who is breathing is me.Copy !req
417. The person who is breathing is me.Copy !req
418. Again.Copy !req
419. The person who is breathing is me.Copy !req
420. The person who is breathing is me.Copy !req
421. The person who is breathing is me.Copy !req
422. The person who is breathing is me.Copy !req
423. The person who is breathing is me.Copy !req
424. - This nonsense actually works.
- Oh.Copy !req
425. Good to know
you were keeping an open mind.Copy !req
426. Oh, you...Copy !req
427. You probably have
strict psychic-patient rules...Copy !req
428. about things like this.Copy !req
429. - You're shaking.
- No. It's just, um...Copy !req
430. What do you think about
wearing the helmet?Copy !req
431. Whatever did you have in mind, Ms. Farr?Copy !req
432. I'm not being kinky.Copy !req
433. I'm scared, Steve, of hurting you.Copy !req
434. Something terrible happened once before.Copy !req
435. If you wear the helmet,
you can help me keep control of things.Copy !req
436. You are in control of you.Copy !req
437. I'll wear the helmet if you like,Copy !req
438. but I know you don't need it.Copy !req
439. Wait.Copy !req
440. You sure?Copy !req
441. Not remotely.Copy !req
442. Okay, son, let's get you rebooted.
You won't feel a thing.Copy !req
443. Nighty-night.Copy !req
444. All right.Copy !req
445. Let's take a look at you.Copy !req
446. Looks like none of
your micro-servo units were damaged.Copy !req
447. Consider yourself lucky.Copy !req
448. You'd need a time machine
to find replacements.Copy !req
449. Oh, you really think
my robo-guts are fucked,Copy !req
450. or do you just like
shitting on the Chief?Copy !req
451. Well, I don't believe the two
are mutually exclusive.Copy !req
452. Niles actually had me consult
on your design.Copy !req
453. But then, he refused to take
a single suggestion.Copy !req
454. Why?Copy !req
455. The man's a dinosaur.Copy !req
456. He's terrified of anything
that might threatenCopy !req
457. to make him or his ideas extinct.Copy !req
458. What kind of stuff would you have done?Copy !req
459. Would I be more like Astro Boy
over there?Copy !req
460. You would have been better.Copy !req
461. How exactly did this happen?Copy !req
462. Vic was scant on the details.Copy !req
463. Oh, it was pretty gnarly.Copy !req
464. Vic was gonna blast Mr. Nobody
with his hand cannonCopy !req
465. and then everything stopped.Copy !req
466. Next thing I knew... kerblam.
Everyone goes fucking flying.Copy !req
467. I thought we were dead meat.Copy !req
468. Vic? All kinds of fucked up.Copy !req
469. He's bleeding. His hand looked like
Elmer Fudd's shotgunCopy !req
470. after Bugs Bunny stuck a cork in it,
and then...Copy !req
471. I mean, you know, now that I'm really
thinking about it, it wasn't that bad.Copy !req
472. He could have been killed.Copy !req
473. And for what?Copy !req
474. Some puerile teenage rebellion?Copy !req
475. Hey, your robo-Boy Scout
bugs the crap out of me,Copy !req
476. but even I gotta admit,
what he did yesterday was noble as shit.Copy !req
477. He put his ass on the line
to save Chief.Copy !req
478. Maybe you should
give him a little creditCopy !req
479. instead of knocking him down
all the time.Copy !req
480. What the hell do you know
about being a parent?Copy !req
481. Do you really have any idea
what it's like to almost lose a child?Copy !req
482. Yeah, I got some idea,
you arrogant fuck-knuckle.Copy !req
483. And I got regrets.Copy !req
484. What are you gonna have?Copy !req
485. It was a small ceremony,
but it was beautiful.Copy !req
486. I know it sounds cliché,
but it was the happiest day of my life.Copy !req
487. All my days have been happy
since I met Niles.Copy !req
488. Forgive me, but I've known NilesCopy !req
489. for almost six decades,Copy !req
490. and in all that time,
he's never once mentioned a wife.Copy !req
491. Niles and his secrets.Copy !req
492. We were married for almost a year
before he told me he had a daughter.Copy !req
493. A daughter?Copy !req
494. It wasn't until we fought Mr. Nobody
that he really started opening up.Copy !req
495. You fought Mr. Nobody?Copy !req
496. Oh, we wiped the floor with him.Copy !req
497. Tell me everything.Copy !req
498. The Mr. Nobody fight was the last
in the Doom Patrol's career.Copy !req
499. Niles brought me in a bit later
to oversee things here.Copy !req
500. How it went down exactly,
that depends on who you ask.Copy !req
501. It was Memorial Day weekend.Copy !req
502. The park was filled with families.Copy !req
503. That's when Mr. Nobody struck.Copy !req
504. At first, it looked like
an ordinary hot-air balloon,Copy !req
505. but as it got closer,
people could see that it wasn't.Copy !req
506. The balloon was shaped
like a giant... buttocks.Copy !req
507. Instead of a basket attached to it,
there was a jukebox.Copy !req
508. And it played only one song,Copy !req
509. "Hot Diggity" by Perry Como, and it
played it over, and over, and over.Copy !req
510. Within 20 minutes, everyone within
earshot went completely insane.Copy !req
511. Oh, hot diggity, dog ziggity
Boom what you do to meCopy !req
512. It's so new to meCopy !req
513. What you do to meCopy !req
514. Hot diggity, dog ziggity
Boom what you do to meCopy !req
515. When you're holding me tightCopy !req
516. The police arrived first,
but Mr. Nobody was ready for them.Copy !req
517. The jukebox was
equipped with a transformer rayCopy !req
518. that changed all the police officers
into pinatas.Copy !req
519. The crazed crowds
tore them to piecesCopy !req
520. and then they ate the candy
from the pinatas.Copy !req
521. It was the most horrible thing
that I've ever seen.Copy !req
522. When we arrived,
the jukebox split openCopy !req
523. and Mr. Nobody leapt out
followed by a hoard of vinyl warriors,Copy !req
524. their bodies composed of
long-playing records.Copy !req
525. Niles said that
Mr. Nobody was there for him, not us.Copy !req
526. And he insisted on being
the tip of our spear.Copy !req
527. As the strongest member
of the Doom Patrol,Copy !req
528. I led us into the fray.Copy !req
529. Rhea and Arani got into a spot
almost immediately.Copy !req
530. Luckily, I was there to save them and
destroy Mr. Nobody in one fell swoop.Copy !req
531. Mento was so frightened,
he soiled his super-suit.Copy !req
532. If Niles hadn't been there
to destroy them all,Copy !req
533. along with Mr. Nobody,Copy !req
534. I don't think any of us
would have survived.Copy !req
535. Uh-huh. So, Niles rescued a team of
superpeople from a supervillainCopy !req
536. without any superpowers?Copy !req
537. Why don't you ask him yourself?Copy !req
538. - Hello, darling, how was your day?
- Arani, my jewel.Copy !req
539. Mmm.Copy !req
540. - You are a sight for sore eyes.
- Dinner's almost ready.Copy !req
541. Fantastic! I'm famished.Copy !req
542. How did you escape Mr. Nobody, Niles?Copy !req
543. Mr. Nobody?Copy !req
544. Oh, that little devil and his butt
balloon were laid to waste ages ago.Copy !req
545. Thanks to my beautiful wife, that is.Copy !req
546. Oh, Niles.Copy !req
547. We've got Nobody's
balloon here, somewhere.Copy !req
548. It's really quite a sight to see.Copy !req
549. I'm sure it was
a terrific battle, Steven,Copy !req
550. but I'm afraid
it was only the first timeCopy !req
551. Mr. Nobody came after Niles.Copy !req
552. He came back.Copy !req
553. Impossible. We KO'd that idiot.Copy !req
554. Well, I don't know what to tell you,Copy !req
555. except that he's back,
and he's taken Niles.Copy !req
556. - What's happening?
- You're lying.Copy !req
557. You couldn't let me have this,
could you?Copy !req
558. What on Earth are you going on about?Copy !req
559. You came all the way down here
just to ruin me.Copy !req
560. Take my wins away,
all the good work that I've done.Copy !req
561. - That's not true.
- Please.Copy !req
562. We both know you're capable of anything.Copy !req
563. Marybeth?Copy !req
564. I didn't say no.Copy !req
565. I was too scared to say anything at all.Copy !req
566. Don't!Copy !req
567. No!Copy !req
568. No. No. No. No.Copy !req
569. No. No.Copy !req
570. No, no, no. No.Copy !req
571. No. No. No.Copy !req
572. No!Copy !req
573. What the ever-loving fuck?Copy !req
574. It's Mento.
He's going to his dark place.Copy !req
575. If we don't do something fast,
he's gonna take us with him.Copy !req
576. Rhea.Copy !req
577. They're starting to lose control
of their powers.Copy !req
578. - You stay here, okay?
- Wait. What about the students?Copy !req
579. There aren't any.Copy !req
580. There never were.Copy !req
581. Hello, Joshua.Copy !req
582. Niles, thank God. We have to move.Copy !req
583. - Mento has had another break.
- Forget him.Copy !req
584. And the others.Copy !req
585. You and I have more work to do.Copy !req
586. No.Copy !req
587. Come now, Joshua.Copy !req
588. You've done good work here.Copy !req
589. But you and I both know
where your talents truly lie.Copy !req
590. I can't.Copy !req
591. I told you. Never again.Copy !req
592. No...Copy !req
593. Sweet...Copy !req
594. Sweet, sweet baby.Copy !req
595. Please don't keep me waiting.Copy !req
596. Arani, I really think you need
to have a talk with your students.Copy !req
597. Arani?Copy !req
598. He's run off again.Copy !req
599. Who? Niles?Copy !req
600. Look what you did!Copy !req
601. - No, no, no.
- Look what you did!Copy !req
602. Sweet, sweet baby.Copy !req
603. Sweet, sweet baby.Copy !req
604. Come join me!Copy !req
605. Sweet, sweet baby.Copy !req
606. Come join me!Copy !req
607. Okay, this is gonna be okay.Copy !req
608. We just happen to be in The Shining.
Which is fine.Copy !req
609. Shelley Duvall and
the kid got out, and so will we.Copy !req
610. Captain Trainor, you and I know
there is no getting out.Copy !req
611. Once a soldier, always a soldier.Copy !req
612. Now, are you and your partner
ready to continue our mission?Copy !req
613. This isn't happening.Copy !req
614. This isn't happening.Copy !req
615. I am so sorry.Copy !req
616. I didn't mean for this to happen.Copy !req
617. Oh, Rita, let's be honest.Copy !req
618. you've been grinding this ax
for 60 years.Copy !req
619. You're doing this.Copy !req
620. Looks pretty real to me.Copy !req
621. You sick son of a bitch!Copy !req
622. Now, darling,
we both know you started it.Copy !req
623. I envy you, sir.Copy !req
624. You get to make the world safe
for democracy single-handedly.Copy !req
625. Well, almost single-handedly.Copy !req
626. Where is that bastard?Copy !req
627. This is your room.Copy !req
628. It wasn't always like this.Copy !req
629. Niles formed the Doom Patrol
back in the dayCopy !req
630. as part of a government program.Copy !req
631. He selected their missions and...Copy !req
632. One of which, inadvertently,
put them on Mr. Nobody's radar.Copy !req
633. So, they really did fight him?Copy !req
634. Yeah, but they lost. Big time.Copy !req
635. Mr. Nobody got into their heads,Copy !req
636. preyed on their fears and weaknesses.Copy !req
637. One by one,
they all turned on each other.Copy !req
638. They were never the same after that.Copy !req
639. Their minds and bodies
started to deteriorate.Copy !req
640. They'd become frightened
and confused easily,Copy !req
641. and they would lash out
with their powers.Copy !req
642. They became a danger to themselves,
and to others.Copy !req
643. So, this was never a school?Copy !req
644. It was a safe place
for these folks to...Copy !req
645. To rest.Copy !req
646. I was able to stabilize Mento's moods
with medication.Copy !req
647. It was Niles' idea to modify his helmet,Copy !req
648. to try to keep them calm
with an immersive group delusion.Copy !req
649. Mento hadn't made a peep in 50 years.Copy !req
650. Until today.Copy !req
651. So, you're like what, their babysitter?Copy !req
652. Physician, actually.Copy !req
653. I'm also a meta-human.Copy !req
654. I don't like to use my powers,Copy !req
655. but they're pretty good
to have around here.Copy !req
656. Just in case.Copy !req
657. Arani said
she's married to Niles.Copy !req
658. - Is that...
- All part of the fantasy.Copy !req
659. None of you should feel bad about
what you may have seen.Copy !req
660. That was just Mento
lashing out with his powers,Copy !req
661. using your biggest fears against you,
like Mr. Nobody did to himCopy !req
662. and to the others.Copy !req
663. Now, I think it's best if you all leave.Copy !req
664. What about Arani and Rhea?Copy !req
665. This is what their realities are like.Copy !req
666. Don't leave me.Copy !req
667. Torturing themselves
with ghosts from their past.Copy !req
668. But you can fix it, right?Copy !req
669. I don't know.Copy !req
670. Please, Niles...Copy !req
671. May I try?Copy !req
672. Oh, oh, oh.Copy !req
673. Take it easy, son.Copy !req
674. Give yourself a minute.Copy !req
675. Am I okay?Copy !req
676. Everything looks fine.Copy !req
677. So, I'll be heading back.Copy !req
678. You gonna pack my bags, too?Copy !req
679. Not unless you're planning to
come back with me.Copy !req
680. But if you would prefer to be here,Copy !req
681. I think you should stay.Copy !req
682. Incidentally, I enabled
your privacy mode.Copy !req
683. For real, this time.
I won't be listening in anymore.Copy !req
684. I promise.Copy !req
685. Am I awake? Or are snakes
gonna start pouring out of your face?Copy !req
686. You've been telling me
you're ready to be your own man.Copy !req
687. I think it's time I start listening.Copy !req
688. Wait.Copy !req
689. What's wrong?Copy !req
690. How could you?Copy !req
691. What are you talking about?Copy !req
692. Marybeth?Copy !req
693. That poor girl.Copy !req
694. You read my mind.Copy !req
695. Without my permission.Copy !req
696. Don't you dare judge me.Copy !req
697. Not after what you've done.Copy !req
698. I'm just sorry I didn't do it sooner.Copy !req
699. A long time ago, you taught me
I was my own biggest obstacle,Copy !req
700. that I could decide who I wanted to be.Copy !req
701. For the last 60 years,
I decided that Rita FarrCopy !req
702. was someone who deserved to be punished.Copy !req
703. I haven't changed my mind about that.Copy !req
704. Rita Farr is empty and ugly and small.Copy !req
705. I don't wanna be those things anymore.Copy !req
706. I don't wanna be Rita Farr anymore.Copy !req
707. Without her, I don't know who I am.Copy !req
708. All I know is
I don't want to end up like you.Copy !req
709. Or Arani, or Rhea.Copy !req
710. And, who knows?Copy !req
711. Maybe if I stop trying to forgetCopy !req
712. the things that haunt meCopy !req
713. and actually face them,Copy !req
714. maybe Mr. Nobody won't hold
so much power over me.Copy !req
715. I owe you for that.Copy !req
716. And I forgive you.Copy !req
717. Goodbye, Steve Dayton.Copy !req
718. How often does he come see them?
For real.Copy !req
719. Niles?Copy !req
720. Not very.Copy !req
721. So, he just abandoned them?
Like broken toys?Copy !req
722. Why would be send me here?Copy !req
723. I'm not broken.
He never treated me like I was broken.Copy !req
724. - Why would he wanna abandon me too?
- I think...Copy !req
725. This is something for you
to discuss with Niles directly.Copy !req
726. How the fuck am I supposed to do that?Copy !req
727. - He's missing.
- Then keep looking.Copy !req
728. 'Cause I think that's what Mr. Nobody
really wants, is for you to give up.Copy !req
729. That's why he sent you here.Copy !req
730. See what happens to those who cross him.Copy !req
731. - Good luck to you, Jane.
- Hmm.Copy !req
732. For God sakes, you be careful.Copy !req
733. No offense, but your dad's
a real bite in the ass.Copy !req
734. Here.Copy !req
735. You hacked it.Copy !req
736. I created a profile for you,
sent her a friend request.Copy !req
737. - She accepted it?
- She did.Copy !req
738. Only... she doesn't know it.Copy !req
739. Congratulations. You're officially
catfishing your daughter.Copy !req
740. Is this because
I stuck up for you with your pops?Copy !req
741. - You did?
- A little.Copy !req
742. I just thought that you should...Copy !req
743. have the chance
to get to know your daughter.Copy !req
744. Maybe it's better for both of you
if you'd done it from afar.Copy !req
745. Been far too long
since we took some publicity photos.Copy !req
746. Folks are gonna start to forget
what the Doom Patrol means.Copy !req
747. Captain Trainor,
are you and your partnerCopy !req
748. ready to continue our mission?Copy !req
749. I know.Copy !req
750. I don't wanna think about it either.Copy !req
751. What the fuck?Copy !req
752. "Me and Dad"?Copy !req
753. What the hell is she doing with Bump?Copy !req
754. Bump. Bump. Bump.Copy !req
755. Bump. Bump...Copy !req
756. Bump! Bump! Bump! Bump! Bump!Copy !req
