1. Feed me. feed me.
Feed me.
Copy !req
2. - Hello?
- Good morning, Virgil.
Copy !req
3. Aah! You know,
you gotta warn a brother
Copy !req
4. when you're gonna wear that
many colors in the morning.
Copy !req
5. I left my shades upstairs.
Copy !req
6. Excuse me, but this is
one of the dashikis I got
Copy !req
7. when we went to Africa.
Copy !req
8. I'm wearing it
to the community center
Copy !req
9. for my new
counseling internship.
Copy !req
10. Now, what do you really think?
Copy !req
11. I really think I'm hungry.
Copy !req
12. You know, Virgil, the trip
we made to Ghana with daddy
Copy !req
13. gave me an entirely
new outlook on life.
Copy !req
14. Oh, good for you
Copy !req
15. only what does that have
to do with breakfast?
Copy !req
16. For a long time,
you've chosen to dis my cooking
Copy !req
17. now I've chosen to stop
making your meals.
Copy !req
18. - Say what?
- Ah, that was really cleansing.
Copy !req
19. I feel empowered.
Copy !req
20. Yeah, right.
She's empowered, I'm starvin'.
Copy !req
21. We take one lousy vacation
Copy !req
22. and suddenly Sharon is
the queen of self-esteem.
Copy !req
23. V, there's nothing wrong
Copy !req
24. with being proud
of your heritage.
Copy !req
25. You should research
your family tree, I did it.
Copy !req
26. Rich, no offense
but your family tree
Copy !req
27. is just one big potato.
Copy !req
28. You're Irish.
Copy !req
29. Wrong-o. I'm half Irish.
Copy !req
30. And the other half ... Vikings.
Copy !req
31. Oh, yes, V, my blood runs thick
Copy !req
32. with herring and sour cream.
Copy !req
33. Ah, that explains the horned
helmet in your closet.
Copy !req
34. Unh.
Copy !req
35. Chill, Godzilla, watch out.
Copy !req
36. Do I look like Tokyo to you?
Copy !req
37. - You dissin' me, dawg?
- Me? No, no.
Copy !req
38. I was just joking around.
Copy !req
39. Totally on me, man, my bad.
Copy !req
40. Virgil, what's happening?
Copy !req
41. Just stay out of my way,
little fish.
Copy !req
42. Ah!
Copy !req
43. Did you see the size
of that dude?
Copy !req
44. Looks like he's doing
high school
Copy !req
45. on the ten-year plan.
Copy !req
46. Don't you recognize
Marcus Reed?
Copy !req
47. That's Marcus?
Copy !req
48. He got a lot bigger.
Copy !req
49. Food must be good
at juvenile hall.
Copy !req
50. Man, don't push your luck
with him, V.
Copy !req
51. That is one major head case.
Copy !req
52. Hey, I could take him.
Copy !req
53. No, Static could take him.
Copy !req
54. Virgil, if he wants to
keep his identity secret
Copy !req
55. will stick with sniveling
and running away.
Copy !req
56. You know, you're not
exactly helping me
Copy !req
57. with my self-esteem.
Copy !req
58. Hey, I do the best I can
with what I got to work with.
Copy !req
59. Bang Baby.
Copy !req
60. Maybe we should call
Copy !req
61. the metahuman containment team.
Copy !req
62. Rojas, I've been on this beat
Copy !req
63. since you were in kindergarten.
Copy !req
64. I say when to call for backup.
Copy !req
65. 'Packard?'
Copy !req
66. Call... for backup.
Copy !req
67. Incoming.
Copy !req
68. Burger Fool burrito?
Copy !req
69. I told you,
Sharon isn't cooking.
Copy !req
70. Hm... yum.
Copy !req
71. "Contains the minimum
daily requirement
Copy !req
72. of cardboard."
Copy !req
73. Eat up, it's a good
source of roughage.
Copy !req
74. Hey, hit the sound.
Copy !req
75. Last night he was
taken to a hospital
Copy !req
76. where a spokeswoman announced
Copy !req
77. that Officer Packard
is in fair condition.
Copy !req
78. Meanwhile, investigators report
Copy !req
79. that nothing was missing
from the warehouse.
Copy !req
80. Hey, Officer Packard
was the cop
Copy !req
81. who busted Marcus last time.
Copy !req
82. Rich, I realize that
you're smart and all
Copy !req
83. but how do you know that?
Copy !req
84. I looked it up
on my new crime database
Copy !req
85. computer index.
Copy !req
86. Oh, wait, hold up!
Copy !req
87. What crime database
computer index?
Copy !req
88. I cross-indexed
all newspaper crime reports
Copy !req
89. from the last 20 years.
Copy !req
90. About 852 million items in all.
Copy !req
91. And it really works?
Copy !req
92. Would you ask Batman
that question?
Copy !req
93. No, but he's a famous
caped crusader
Copy !req
94. with his own Batmobile
and Batplane.
Copy !req
95. You are a sophomore
with a pocket protector.
Copy !req
96. Here's my point.
Copy !req
97. The police say the intruder
didn't take anything.
Copy !req
98. Therefore, that was no robbery.
Copy !req
99. That was an ambush,
and Packard was the target.
Copy !req
100. You think Marcus
is that Bang Baby?
Copy !req
101. Well, this did happen
Copy !req
102. right after Marcus got
out of juvenile hall.
Copy !req
103. 'We now take you live
to the sports arena'
Copy !req
104. 'current home
of the Dakota auto show.'
Copy !req
105. 'Reports indicate that
an unidentified metahuman'
Copy !req
106. 'is rampaging
through the building.'
Copy !req
107. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
108. Gee, I was hoping
I'd get to see
Copy !req
109. the auto show this year.
Copy !req
110. Yeah, the perimeter's set,
we're going in. Hold on.
Copy !req
111. Static, glad you're here.
Who's your friend?
Copy !req
112. - Uh, this is..
- Gear's my name.
Copy !req
113. Technology is my game.
Copy !req
114. Please, take a card. Backpack.
Copy !req
115. Uh... thanks.
Copy !req
116. What's the situation?
Copy !req
117. The arena was unoccupied
when that thing busted in.
Copy !req
118. Lucky for us the car show
doesn't open for another hour.
Copy !req
119. Better make that two hours.
Copy !req
120. We'll find that Bang Baby faster
if we split up.
Copy !req
121. Great idea. I got dibs
on the foreign sports cars.
Copy !req
122. You take the SUVs.
Copy !req
123. SUVs? What am I, a soccer mom?
Copy !req
124. Uh-oh. Looks like we're after
one big crash-test dummy.
Copy !req
125. - Yo, Gear, see anything?
- Not yet.
Copy !req
126. 'Well, from what I've seen
this one's gonna be a handful.'
Copy !req
127. 'Stay sharp.'
Copy !req
128. Relax, dude,
I am totally focused.
Copy !req
129. They have got the proton
exchange ratios all wrong.
Copy !req
130. If they just apply
the law of thermodynamics
Copy !req
131. to the squared inverse
of the positron sequence
Copy !req
132. then... aah!
Copy !req
133. Deal with this, creepoid!
Copy !req
134. Gotta go. Bye.
Copy !req
135. Gear, take cover. I got it.
Copy !req
136. Okay, plan B.
Copy !req
137. zap zap zap
Copy !req
138. If this keeps up,
I'm gonna run out of letters.
Copy !req
139. Static!
Copy !req
140. Unh!
Copy !req
141. zap zap zap
Copy !req
142. Aah!
Copy !req
143. Static, don't move.
I'll get you out of there.
Copy !req
144. Though it may take a while.
Copy !req
145. Huh?
Copy !req
146. Whoa!
Copy !req
147. zap zap zap
Copy !req
148. - Where's the beastie?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
149. That car alarm went off
Copy !req
150. and then it turned
and bolted out of here.
Copy !req
151. Must have known I was coming.
Copy !req
152. - Which way did it go?
- It?
Copy !req
153. It... the Bang Baby.
Copy !req
154. You know, about 12 feet tall
Copy !req
155. big teeth and claws.
Copy !req
156. We didn't see a thing
Copy !req
157. What? Something that big
can't just disappear.
Copy !req
158. Unless it didn't stay big.
Copy !req
159. 'If I get kicked out
of Dakota High'
Copy !req
160. 'a judge gonna
pull my probation.'
Copy !req
161. I'm trying to stay cool,
but it's hard.
Copy !req
162. I mean, just yesterday,
some kid starts trippin'
Copy !req
163. and dissin' me, makin' jokes.
Copy !req
164. Hey, I can relate,
I got a brother like that.
Copy !req
165. People see me,
they just think I'm a gangster.
Copy !req
166. Maybe that's all I am.
Copy !req
167. Okay, then,
you may as well give up.
Copy !req
168. Hey, you're my counselor
Copy !req
169. you're supposed to be
down with me.
Copy !req
170. I am down with you, Marcus
Copy !req
171. but if you buy into
that gangster label
Copy !req
172. you only confirm
other people's preconceptions.
Copy !req
173. You defeat yourself.
Copy !req
174. Yo, I didn't come up easy.
Copy !req
175. I know, and I'm sorry,
but that's in the past.
Copy !req
176. 'You gotta be responsible
for your own actions.'
Copy !req
177. Marcus, you have
a lot of potential.
Copy !req
178. You can choose to use it
Copy !req
179. or you can throw it all away.
Copy !req
180. Big news, Marcus had a job
lined up at the auto show
Copy !req
181. only his bad attitude
got him fired.
Copy !req
182. Wow, this guy's really
clockin' the payback hours.
Copy !req
183. Oh, wait, there's more
Copy !req
184. he also used to
have a girlfriend
Copy !req
185. but that is definitely
in the past tense.
Copy !req
186. Which database
did you get that 4-1-1 from?
Copy !req
187. Uh, I just hung around
the girls' tables at lunch.
Copy !req
188. You would not believe
the way they talk.
Copy !req
189. - Hi. Tamara Lawrence?
- Mm-hm.
Copy !req
190. Did you used to date
Marcus Reed?
Copy !req
191. Why, you writing his biography?
Copy !req
192. Uh-uh, he's been sweatin' me.
Copy !req
193. Yeah, I used to go with him.
Copy !req
194. And if I were you
I'd be real careful.
Copy !req
195. 'Marcus has a nasty temper.'
Copy !req
196. And since that blowup
at the docks, hmph
Copy !req
197. he's been real bad.
Copy !req
198. You mean after the Big Bang?
Copy !req
199. Right, after that,
if we had a fight
Copy !req
200. he'd totally lose it.
Copy !req
201. He'd get so mad,
he'd just bust the door down
Copy !req
202. and run out and I wouldn't
see him again for hours.
Copy !req
203. That's why I broke up with him.
Copy !req
204. Thanks for your help.
Copy !req
205. - Hey, babe.
- Turn it down, Deion.
Copy !req
206. You know my ears are sensitive.
Copy !req
207. No prob.
Copy !req
208. crash
Copy !req
209. What? Huh?
Copy !req
210. Aah!
Copy !req
211. That thing trashed my ride.
Copy !req
212. I got a $6000 sound system
in there.
Copy !req
213. Well, maybe it's not feelin'
your taste in music.
Copy !req
214. Uhh!
Copy !req
215. zap zap zap
Copy !req
216. slam
Copy !req
217. zap
Copy !req
218. Anyone get the number
of that bus stop?
Copy !req
219. Yo, this monster disappears
faster than front-row tickets
Copy !req
220. to a Little Romeo concert.
Copy !req
221. It's got to be him, Rich,
there's no other explanation.
Copy !req
222. Okay, then I think it's time
for Static and Gear
Copy !req
223. to bring him in.
Copy !req
224. Uh-uh-uh, no, we need proof.
Copy !req
225. We have to definitely
link Marcus
Copy !req
226. to all those attacks.
Copy !req
227. You know, Tamara said
Marcus had a bad temper.
Copy !req
228. Maybe that's the key.
Copy !req
229. He was mad at Officer Packard
for arresting him.
Copy !req
230. He was mad at the auto show
for firing him.
Copy !req
231. He was mad at Tamara
having a new boyfriend.
Copy !req
232. There's your formula.
Copy !req
233. Marcus plus mad equals monster.
Copy !req
234. If you want to make him
do the old presto change-o
Copy !req
235. you gotta get him angry.
Copy !req
236. Well, that won't be hard for me.
Copy !req
237. Sharon always says when it
comes to irritating people
Copy !req
238. 'I'm the best there is.'
Copy !req
239. Hey.
Copy !req
240. Hey.
Copy !req
241. Yo, Tamara, sorry to hear about
your new boyfriend's car.
Copy !req
242. Yeah, he was, too
Copy !req
243. but he's more upset about losing
that loud sound system of his.
Copy !req
244. You know, I was thinking.
Copy !req
245. Hey, maybe Marcus is the monster
Copy !req
246. 'but then I figured,
nah, it couldn't be.'
Copy !req
247. 'Marcus isn't that pretty.'
Copy !req
248. On the other hand,
he's almost tall enough
Copy !req
249. and he's definitely fat enough
Copy !req
250. 'and he sure looks dumb enough.'
Copy !req
251. So, I say..
Copy !req
252. What's with you, fool?
Copy !req
253. It's bad enough
you bug me in school
Copy !req
254. but now you're messin'
with me in my hood.
Copy !req
255. Yeah, that's right.
Copy !req
256. What are you gonna
do about it, punk?
Copy !req
257. I'm gonna knock you
into a whole new zip code.
Copy !req
258. - Aah!
- Huh!
Copy !req
259. Man, how mad does
he have to get.
Copy !req
260. Look, it's J. Lo.
Copy !req
261. - Huh?
- Where at?
Copy !req
262. Yo, dawg... you goin' down.
Copy !req
263. - Shh!
- V, you won't believe this.
Copy !req
264. Your sister
is Marcus' counselor.
Copy !req
265. Well, she's doing a lousy job.
Copy !req
266. Listen, Marcus
can't be the creature.
Copy !req
267. He was here at the center
with Sharon
Copy !req
268. right when we were fighting
that thing at the auto show.
Copy !req
269. What? Oh, man.
Copy !req
270. Too late, I got Marcus so mad
Copy !req
271. he wants to turn my face
into a Picasso.
Copy !req
272. 'Well, if he catches you'
Copy !req
273. 'at least you know
you can zap him.'
Copy !req
274. Oh, sure, and give away
my secret identity.
Copy !req
275. Now there's a plan..
Copy !req
276. Um, Richie, I'm gonna
have to call you back.
Copy !req
277. Aah!
Copy !req
278. Rich, I'm back
and I got big ugly chasing me.
Copy !req
279. Well, if it's not Marcus
then why is he chasing you?
Copy !req
280. I don't know, man.
Copy !req
281. Weird, everyone Marcus
has a grudge against
Copy !req
282. the monster goes after,
maybe Marcus controls it.
Copy !req
283. Or maybe the monster wants
everyone to think it's Marcus.
Copy !req
284. Maybe it's framing him.
Copy !req
285. Aah! Uhh!
Copy !req
286. Aah!
Copy !req
287. Whoa!
Copy !req
288. Aah!
Copy !req
289. slam
Copy !req
290. So, why aren't you
going after him?
Copy !req
291. Marcus ain't
good enough for you?
Copy !req
292. zap
Copy !req
293. I'm onto you, dawg.
Copy !req
294. Or should I say girlfriend?
Copy !req
295. - What you talkin' about?
- 'Check it, Marcus.'
Copy !req
296. Creature feature wants you
to take the blame
Copy !req
297. for all the damage it created.
Copy !req
298. What for?
Copy !req
299. Maybe 'cause you
broke up with her.
Copy !req
300. Aah!
Copy !req
301. Tamara?
Copy !req
302. - That's right, sweetie.
- But how..
Copy !req
303. Remember the night
you broke up with me?
Copy !req
304. I went to the docks
looking for you
Copy !req
305. hoping to get you back.
Copy !req
306. 'You weren't there.'
Copy !req
307. So the Big Bang got you.
Copy !req
308. Yeah... but not you.
Copy !req
309. You walked away clean
from me and everything else.
Copy !req
310. So you're blaming me
for what happened?
Copy !req
311. Oh, yeah, before,
only my heart was hurting
Copy !req
312. now everything hurts.
Copy !req
313. I try to control it,
but you've got no idea
Copy !req
314. what it's like to live
with a monster inside of you.
Copy !req
315. - What are you gonna do?
- What do you think?
Copy !req
316. I think it's time
you started singing
Copy !req
317. a different tune, homegirl.
Copy !req
318. Aah!
Copy !req
319. These won't hold me long.
Copy !req
320. Won't have to.
Copy !req
321. If you're gonna sing
then what you need
Copy !req
322. is a backup band
Copy !req
323. just the thing for you
and your sensitive ears.
Copy !req
324. Uhh! Aah!
Copy !req
325. Too loud!
Copy !req
326. Say what? You want me
to pump up the volume?
Copy !req
327. No problem.
Copy !req
328. Sorry I had to do that
but jail will be a lot quieter.
Copy !req
329. This is how we found the scene.
Copy !req
330. Somebody's gotta move that back.
Copy !req
331. Don't ask me who.
Copy !req
332. First time I ever..
Copy !req
333. Yo, Rich, we were trippin'
Copy !req
334. going after the wrong guy.
Copy !req
335. You got that right.
Copy !req
336. From now on, we have to be
sure of our facts.
Copy !req
337. Don't assume anything.
Copy !req
338. Never judge a book
by its cover.
Copy !req
339. - And most importantly..
- Yeah?
Copy !req
340. Bring earplugs.
Copy !req
341. Oh, my ears are still ringing
Copy !req
342. from that wall of sound.
Copy !req
343. - Right.
- What?
Copy !req
344. I said right!
Copy !req
345. Ow! Okay.
Copy !req
346. Tamara said I don't know
what it's like
Copy !req
347. to have a monster
living inside me.
Copy !req
348. She's wrong.
Copy !req
349. The difference is
you can tame your monster.
Copy !req
350. You can even make it go away,
it's up to you.
Copy !req
351. Listen, Marcus,
I'd just like to say
Copy !req
352. I'm sorry for dissin' you.
Copy !req
353. Well, I should hope so.
Copy !req
354. We cool?
Copy !req
355. Well, uh..
Copy !req
356. since you are
Sharon's brother.
Copy !req
357. Heh, who would have thought
Copy !req
358. for once it pays to be
related to you.
Copy !req
359. What did I tell you
about your insults?
Copy !req
360. I've had it. Come here.
Copy !req
361. Uh, Sharon,
I would like to remind you
Copy !req
362. that there are police around.
Copy !req
363. No jury would convict me.
Copy !req
364. You got any suggestions?
Copy !req
365. - You could run.
- Ooh, good idea.
Copy !req
366. Aah! Aah! Oh, stop! Aah!
Copy !req
