1. whoosh
Copy !req
2. "Late-night robberies
sweep Dakota.
Copy !req
3. Police unable to catch
mystery thieves."
Copy !req
4. Yeah, me neither.
Copy !req
5. Uh, 'scuse me.
Copy !req
6. But shouldn't
you be home asleep?
Copy !req
7. - I wish, I could go home.
- Hey, no problem.
Copy !req
8. - I'll give you a lift.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
9. But it's not that simple.
Copy !req
10. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
11. Let me guess,
the wedding's this morning
Copy !req
12. and you two waited till the last
minute to pick out the rings.
Copy !req
13. Brickhouse, run!
Copy !req
14. Leave us alone!
Copy !req
15. I can't help myself.
Copy !req
16. You both seem like such
fun people to hang with.
Copy !req
17. zap
Copy !req
18. That was great.
Copy !req
19. Lucky for me I didn't
wrap her in a truck.
Copy !req
20. zap
Copy !req
21. Okay, guys, lighten up.
Copy !req
22. Nightingale,
what're you waiting for?
Copy !req
23. Hey, what're you..
Copy !req
24. No! Stop!
Copy !req
25. Where is... everything?
Copy !req
26. Aah!
Copy !req
27. They're gone!
Copy !req
28. Good goin', Static, you missed
a whole night sleep
Copy !req
29. just to get your butt whooped.
Copy !req
30. You cut that too close, girl.
Copy !req
31. - I didn't want him to get hurt.
- Forget him, Nightingale.
Copy !req
32. It's us you should
be worrying about.
Copy !req
33. Let her go, Fade
Copy !req
34. I tripped the alarm,
so Static was my fault.
Copy !req
35. What, you wanna fight me?
Copy !req
36. Pathetic! I leave you infants
alone for one night
Copy !req
37. and ya'll can't behave.
Copy !req
38. No wonder you need
me to run things.
Copy !req
39. - Get the diamonds?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
40. But we had to tangle
with Static.
Copy !req
41. You swiped the microchips?
Copy !req
42. You even need to ask?
Copy !req
43. Now, let's go see
if brainboy
Copy !req
44. really knows
how to use this stuff.
Copy !req
45. Yo, Brick, thanks.
Copy !req
46. Pssh! Whatever.
Just don't push your luck.
Copy !req
47. The diamonds?
Copy !req
48. No. No.
Copy !req
49. Ah, perfect!
Copy !req
50. See how it refracts the beam?
Now, watch.
Copy !req
51. Tech, is that the stuff?
Copy !req
52. Yes, dark matter.
Copy !req
53. No light can pass
through it at all.
Copy !req
54. I already can make that.
Copy !req
55. But only in limited quantities.
Copy !req
56. Soon, we'll be able to
synthesize much, much more.
Copy !req
57. We only need one last thing,
to put my plan into action.
Copy !req
58. But we gotta be careful.
Copy !req
59. Now that Static's on to you
Copy !req
60. he won't rest until
he finds you again.
Copy !req
61. 'Yo, Static!'
Copy !req
62. Huh! What?
Copy !req
63. You fell asleep again
Copy !req
64. just like you did
in chemistry class.
Copy !req
65. - Oh, sorry.
- Well..
Copy !req
66. At least you're not lighting
a Bunsen burner this time.
Copy !req
67. I guess I'm not cut out
for these all-nighters.
Copy !req
68. I dunno how Batman does it.
Copy !req
69. Eh, in real life,
he's probably some rich guy
Copy !req
70. who get's to sleep all day.
Copy !req
71. He is, isn't he?
Copy !req
72. - Come on, you know!
- I'm not saying anything.
Copy !req
73. Uh-oh. It's a Metahuman APB.
Copy !req
74. Where are they?
Copy !req
75. 'The Dakota nuclear reactor!'
Copy !req
76. Don't even think about it,
you drop from this height
Copy !req
77. and you really will be a ghost.
Copy !req
78. Nightingale!
Copy !req
79. Not this time, girlfriend.
Copy !req
80. Ohh!
Copy !req
81. Aah!
Copy !req
82. Ugh!
Copy !req
83. - Huh?
- Ugh!
Copy !req
84. Aah! Ugh!
Copy !req
85. 'Step right in.'
Copy !req
86. Ebon!
Copy !req
87. How would you two saps
like a one-way trip
Copy !req
88. to the core of this
nuclear reactor?
Copy !req
89. Adios, suckers.
Copy !req
90. What? No, no!
Copy !req
91. zap
Copy !req
92. Nightingale, stop it!
Copy !req
93. We've got what we need, Ebon.
Copy !req
94. Just get us out of here.
Copy !req
95. No, trust me.
Copy !req
96. You do not want
to go in there.
Copy !req
97. Wherever they went, I wouldn't
wanna be in Nightingale's shoes.
Copy !req
98. Ugh!
Copy !req
99. Why'd you mess up my chance
to finish off those two?
Copy !req
100. You promised us
nobody would get hurt.
Copy !req
101. They are nobody.
Copy !req
102. Ebon calls the shots.
Copy !req
103. He'll decide
what we have to do.
Copy !req
104. Yeah? And what if I warn
everybody up above, first?
Copy !req
105. What are you saying, girl?
Copy !req
106. I'm not gonna let you
harm anyone, anymore.
Copy !req
107. Stop her!
Copy !req
108. - 'Where is she?'
- 'Where'd she go?'
Copy !req
109. - 'Somebody get her!'
- 'Don't let her get away!'
Copy !req
110. - 'I can't see anything.'
- 'Hey!'
Copy !req
111. - 'What?'
- 'Nightingale?'
Copy !req
112. Catch her,
or she'll ruin everything.
Copy !req
113. 'Nightingale!'
Copy !req
114. - Gotcha!
- Aah!
Copy !req
115. Let me go!
Copy !req
116. You got it.
Copy !req
117. This is for crossing me.
Copy !req
118. Somebody, help me..
Copy !req
119. please!
Copy !req
120. Why can't you ever
stay out of my business?
Copy !req
121. Sorry, it's a superhero thing.
Copy !req
122. Stop them. Get the girl!
Copy !req
123. Hold on.
Copy !req
124. Don't have time
to play now, Static.
Copy !req
125. But when Dakota's mine,
you'll pay for this.
Copy !req
126. Either your friends
are part cockroach
Copy !req
127. or they really
don't like light.
Copy !req
128. That's because to us,
light is poison.
Copy !req
129. Here, Nightingale.
Copy !req
130. Thanks. Just call me Gail.
Copy !req
131. That's my real name.
Copy !req
132. So, Gail, how did a nice
girl like you, end up so, uh..
Copy !req
133. Metahuman?
Copy !req
134. I guess just
like everyone else.
Copy !req
135. I was down at the docks,
the night the police
Copy !req
136. tried to stop the gang war.
Copy !req
137. Nobody realized
the kind of chemicals
Copy !req
138. they were storing down there.
Copy !req
139. And then it happened.
Copy !req
140. The big bang.
Copy !req
141. Not only were
we all changed
Copy !req
142. but some of us got a really
bad surprise, the next morning.
Copy !req
143. The sun had turned
deadly for us.
Copy !req
144. It could reduce us to ashes.
Copy !req
145. We ran for any dark
place we could find.
Copy !req
146. That's how we met each other.
Copy !req
147. Brickhouse, Fade,
Tech and me.
Copy !req
148. And we weren't
the only ones.
Copy !req
149. At night, when we
tried to get help
Copy !req
150. people were frightened.
Copy !req
151. All they had to do,
was see our eyes and they knew.
Copy !req
152. The more
the above-grounders feared us
Copy !req
153. the more we didn't trust them.
Copy !req
154. So we kept to ourselves
and became a family.
Copy !req
155. We called ourselves,
The Nightbreed.
Copy !req
156. We started to steal
to stay alive.
Copy !req
157. That's how we met Ebon.
Copy !req
158. He was real interested
in my power.
Copy !req
159. He said it gave him ideas.
Copy !req
160. So we had Tech analyze it.
Copy !req
161. The big bang
had turned Tech
Copy !req
162. into the smartest
person in Dakota.
Copy !req
163. Well, Gear might disagree.
Copy !req
164. But should never have
helped Ebon. He's crazy!
Copy !req
165. Well, it doesn't take
brains to figure that out.
Copy !req
166. What's he up to this time?
Copy !req
167. He wants to
block out the sun.
Copy !req
168. We've been stealing parts for
a machine that Tech is building.
Copy !req
169. He calls it,
the Blackout Box.
Copy !req
170. Ebon wants to set it off
where no one will see it.
Copy !req
171. Once that happens
Copy !req
172. it'll spread dark matter
all over the sky
Copy !req
173. and make Dakota dark, forever.
Copy !req
174. Then, Ebon wants
all of the Nightbreed
Copy !req
175. to take over the city..
Copy !req
176. with him in control.
Copy !req
177. As what? Mayor Ebon?
Copy !req
178. More like, King Ebon.
Copy !req
179. He calls us
his army of darkness.
Copy !req
180. Stay sharp.
Ebon will be waiting for us.
Copy !req
181. They're gone.
Copy !req
182. They're probably
setting up the box.
Copy !req
183. - But where?
- 'Afraid, you'll never know.'
Copy !req
184. Payback time, Static.
Copy !req
185. Always knew
I'd put you six feet under
Copy !req
186. one way or another.
Copy !req
187. whirr
Copy !req
188. This way!
Copy !req
189. zap
Copy !req
190. Can't keep this
up much longer!
Copy !req
191. Follow me.
Copy !req
192. 'The exit's straight ahead.'
Copy !req
193. I don't get it.
Why'd you save us?
Copy !req
194. 'Nightingale and I
never trusted Ebon.'
Copy !req
195. So we made a deal to
watch each other's backs.
Copy !req
196. She and I have been best friends
since way before the big bang.
Copy !req
197. After Dakota goes dark,
we will take care of Ebon.
Copy !req
198. No, we can't let
Dakota go dark.
Copy !req
199. Ebon's crazy plan
won't solve anything.
Copy !req
200. Everybody normal will leave.
Copy !req
201. We'll be left alone
in the dark again.
Copy !req
202. 'Is that what you want?'
Copy !req
203. Do you know where
he's planning to put the box?
Copy !req
204. Yes, in the exact
center of the city.
Copy !req
205. Gear?
Copy !req
206. Dude, you'll never
guess where that is.
Copy !req
207. Put the box over there,
near that old gas station.
Copy !req
208. 'We could hook it up to
the pump's power lines.'
Copy !req
209. Our own headquarters?
Copy !req
210. We should've gotten
a big guard dog to watch it.
Copy !req
211. Or at least a Chihuahua
with some attitude.
Copy !req
212. Unit activated.
Copy !req
213. Countdown, T-minus 60 seconds.
Copy !req
214. I don't think so.
Copy !req
215. Get him!
Copy !req
216. Stop!
Copy !req
217. Aah!
Copy !req
218. Whoa!
Copy !req
219. Aah!
Copy !req
220. He's out. Hurry!
Copy !req
221. Gear, you've got ten seconds!
Copy !req
222. - Maybe I can—
- Aah!
Copy !req
223. Too late, suckers. I win!
Copy !req
224. Dakota is mine!
Copy !req
225. Get away from there!
Copy !req
226. Nightingale,
can you absorb all that?
Copy !req
227. I... I don't know.
Copy !req
228. But I can try!
Copy !req
229. It's working!
Gear can you stop that machine?
Copy !req
230. I'm on it.
Copy !req
231. No! If you do the wrong
thing, it might explode.
Copy !req
232. Then, maybe you don't
wanna distract me.
Copy !req
233. Done!
Copy !req
234. How did you manage
to reverse it?
Copy !req
235. Hey, you're not the only one
here with bang baby smarts.
Copy !req
236. zap
Copy !req
237. Anybody touches her,
they deal with me.
Copy !req
238. The sun.
Copy !req
239. Quick, I'll take
you underground.
Copy !req
240. Wait! You work for me!
Copy !req
241. Come back!
Copy !req
242. We could've had Dakota again.
Copy !req
243. Slept in our own cribs.
Copy !req
244. Wrong, Fade, it's like
Nightingale said before.
Copy !req
245. We'd have traded one
dark world for another.
Copy !req
246. Maybe we can find some way
to get you all back to normal.
Copy !req
247. Yeah, if Tech and I
both put our minds to it.
Copy !req
248. No, I'll never trust
the above-grounders.
Copy !req
249. We Nightbreed have to solve
our problems by ourselves.
Copy !req
250. He's right.
Copy !req
251. I should've been working
on a cure all along.
Copy !req
252. I'll start now,
and I will find one.
Copy !req
253. Wait! People will help
if you give 'em a chance.
Copy !req
254. Sorry, Static. It's human nature
to be afraid of the dark.
Copy !req
255. And we are the dark.
Copy !req
256. But how will you survive?
Copy !req
257. We'll find a way.
Copy !req
258. And remember. You have friends
in the shadows of the night.
Copy !req
259. - Doh!
- What's wrong?
Copy !req
260. I forgot to ask Tech
Copy !req
261. where he got his
fusion power couplers.
Copy !req
262. Come on. Sun's up.
Copy !req
263. Time for us,
to get some sleep.
Copy !req
