1. We're here!
Copy !req
2. Wow! The great north is
so beautiful in person.
Copy !req
3. Wait, wait, stay right there!
Copy !req
4. All right, smile!
Copy !req
5. Okay, now one where it looks like
Copy !req
6. you're looking for a monster!
Copy !req
7. Okay, now one like you made a joke!
Copy !req
8. Okay, now, do one
where the joke's not that funny,
Copy !req
9. but it's more like a joke
that makes you think.
Copy !req
10. Okay, I think
that's enough photography.
Copy !req
11. But it's Connie's
first mission!
Copy !req
12. Her parents asked me
to take lots of pictures.
Copy !req
13. Uh...
Copy !req
14. Thank you so much for letting me
Copy !req
15. come on this mission, Pearl.
Copy !req
16. It's such an honor
to work alongside you.
Copy !req
17. Well, Connie,
your sword-fighting skills
Copy !req
18. have far exceeded
my expectations.
Copy !req
19. And, with my careful
supervision, of course,
Copy !req
20. I'm confident
that you can handle
Copy !req
21. a simple gem-recovery mission
like this.
Copy !req
22. Thank you so much!
Copy !req
23. I promise I won't
let you down, ma'am!
Copy !req
24. Connie's first mission!
Copy !req
25. Recap the mission
for us, Connie.
Copy !req
26. Garnet sensed some corrupted
gem activity in these woods.
Copy !req
27. It is our job to locate it,
Copy !req
28. destabilize its form
and bubble it.
Copy !req
29. Very good.
Copy !req
30. Now, your human bodies
aren't designed
Copy !req
31. to last in this cold,
Copy !req
32. so we'll have to be
extra careful.
Copy !req
33. That's okay.
I've got this backpack filled
Copy !req
34. with everything we need
to survive in the wilderness.
Copy !req
35. And I brought board games
in case we get bored.
Copy !req
36. Ah, yes.
Very good.
Copy !req
37. So, how will we know if
this corrupted gem is nearby?
Copy !req
38. That's how!
Here it comes!
Copy !req
39. Remember,
you work together!
Copy !req
40. - Ready, Connie?
- Ready, Steven!
Copy !req
41. Two of them?
Copy !req
42. Steven, bubble!
Copy !req
43. Bubble power!
Copy !req
44. They... ran away?
Copy !req
45. There weren't
supposed to be two.
Copy !req
46. Oh, oh ...
I have an idea!
Copy !req
47. We could split up!
Copy !req
48. You can go after
one of them, Pearl,
Copy !req
49. and Steven and I will go after
the other one.
Copy !req
50. Connie, you are my pupil,
Copy !req
51. so I know your combat skills
are excellent.
Copy !req
52. But I'm afraid
this is too risky.
Copy !req
53. You've never been
in a real fight before.
Copy !req
54. Well, that's not true.
Copy !req
55. Connie defeated those
gem experiments at the hospital.
Copy !req
56. But...
Copy !req
57. And look!
Copy !req
58. I brought these walkie-talkies
Copy !req
59. so we can talk to each other
in case something happens!
Copy !req
60. But...
Copy !req
61. And I've read this book front
to back, at least 20 times!
Copy !req
62. Well, all right.
Copy !req
63. But as soon as you find the
monster, contact me immediately.
Copy !req
64. I don't want you
fighting this thing alone.
Copy !req
65. One more time,
what are you looking for?
Copy !req
66. A monster.
Copy !req
67. What do you do when you find it?
Copy !req
68. Call you.
Copy !req
69. And who's your favorite gem?
Copy !req
70. Pearl!
Copy !req
71. Why, thank you!
Copy !req
72. Now, be safe!
Copy !req
73. Yes, ma'am!
Copy !req
74. All we have to do
is follow these tracks.
Copy !req
75. Yeah.
These are fresh.
Copy !req
76. We trail it
until it stops to rest.
Copy !req
77. Wow, Connie,
you're a wilderness expert.
Copy !req
78. Well, I like
to be prepared.
Copy !req
79. When civilization collapses
and this world ends,
Copy !req
80. I need to be ready
to build the new one.
Copy !req
81. Yeah, I guess
if homeworld invades Earth,
Copy !req
82. things could get
pretty crazy for humanity.
Copy !req
83. Forget gems.
Copy !req
84. Humans are already starting
their own demise!
Copy !req
85. Peak oil, Steven!
Copy !req
86. How do we handle
terminal decline
Copy !req
87. without alternate
energy sources?
Copy !req
88. How are you two doing?
Copy !req
89. Are you hungry?
Copy !req
90. Remember,
you humans need to eat!
Copy !req
91. Yes, ma'am!
Copy !req
92. Luckily, I packed plenty
of survival fuel.
Copy !req
93. Time to get
our protein on!
Copy !req
94. Good thing this snow
is here...
Copy !req
95. it makes following tracks
a lot easier.
Copy !req
96. I'll say!
Copy !req
97. So, these corrupted gems are
like wild animals.
Copy !req
98. Just a bundle
of fight or flight reflexes
Copy !req
99. and survival instincts.
Copy !req
100. Well, they're like that now,
but before they were different.
Copy !req
101. They used to be normal gems like
Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet.
Copy !req
102. They had thoughts
and feelings, friends...
Copy !req
103. I don't really know
how the corruption works.
Copy !req
104. It's like they're sick.
Copy !req
105. They don't remember
who they used to be.
Copy !req
106. Maybe they
don't even know
Copy !req
107. how to look
like themselves anymore.
Copy !req
108. - Whoa. You okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
Copy !req
109. Oh, I know what'll cheer me up!
Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
110. Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa! Oof!
Copy !req
111. Steven, Connie?
Copy !req
112. I'm not having any luck
finding this monster.
Copy !req
113. We might have to return
to the temple and regroup.
Copy !req
114. No, no!
We can handle it!
Copy !req
115. We're making
great progress.
Copy !req
116. We can definitely
take care of this ourselves!
Copy !req
117. Oh, well,
you sound very confident.
Copy !req
118. Carry on then,
and remember, Connie...
Copy !req
119. Stance wide, body lowered.
I've got it, ma'am.
Copy !req
120. - Need some help there?
- Yes, please.
Copy !req
121. Whoa.
Look at the tracks.
Copy !req
122. Whoa.
Copy !req
123. Now, this is a mess.
Copy !req
124. Some of these prints
look humanoid.
Copy !req
125. Could Pearl have been here?
Copy !req
126. But Pearl went
the other direction.
Copy !req
127. Monster... humanoid...
monster.
Copy !req
128. What could this mean?
Copy !req
129. We should probably take shelter
from this blizzard.
Copy !req
130. But first, let's grab
some of these pine needles.
Copy !req
131. We can brew a
vitamin-C-rich tea with them
Copy !req
132. so we don't get scurvy.
Copy !req
133. Like a pirate.
Copy !req
134. The tea's ready!
Copy !req
135. Here, try it!
Copy !req
136. Thanks!
Copy !req
137. - How is it?
- It's... Hmm.
Copy !req
138. - It's bad.
- Well, yeah.
Copy !req
139. It's not about
tasting good, Steven,
Copy !req
140. it's about surviving
the punishment of nature.
Copy !req
141. So, why were there
humanoid tracks out there?
Copy !req
142. They weren't ours,
and they weren't Pearl's.
Copy !req
143. It couldn't have been
the monster.
Copy !req
144. Unless it's just some guy
in a monster suit.
Copy !req
145. But that kind of thing
only happens in cartoons,
Copy !req
146. usually over
a property dispute.
Copy !req
147. Maybe it is a guy
in a monster costume.
Copy !req
148. - You think so?
- I don't mean literally, silly.
Copy !req
149. What I mean is there might be
a conscious gem
Copy !req
150. - still inside there somewhere.
- Is that possible?
Copy !req
151. What if the monster is
turning back and forth
Copy !req
152. into its original form.
Copy !req
153. If it is, it might not be
as corrupted as we think.
Copy !req
154. There might still be
a chance to save it.
Copy !req
155. How?
Copy !req
156. I can't heal gems
that are corrupted...
Copy !req
157. at least not all the way.
Copy !req
158. But if it's half-corrupted...
Copy !req
159. This way!
Copy !req
160. - Ah!
- Ow.
Copy !req
161. Shh!
Copy !req
162. It seems scared.
Is it running from us?
Copy !req
163. What if it's running...
from itself?
Copy !req
164. Shh!
Keep your voice down!
Copy !req
165. Hello, you two!
Copy !req
166. How's it going?
Copy !req
167. This weather has really taken
a turn for the worse,
Copy !req
168. and I would hate
to be responsible
Copy !req
169. for putting you two in danger.
Copy !req
170. Make sure
you bundle up with...
Copy !req
171. Steven! Turn it off!
I'm trying!
Copy !req
172. Oh! And, remember,
if you find the monster,
Copy !req
173. don't make any loud,
startling noises.
Copy !req
174. - Hello? Anyone there?
- Stupid, slipper mittens.
Copy !req
175. I'm just going to keep talking
until somebody answers.
Copy !req
176. Steven!
Copy !req
177. Wait. Let me try
talking to it.
Copy !req
178. Hey. How's it going?
Copy !req
179. Um, can you hear me?
Copy !req
180. Are you in there somewhere?
Copy !req
181. You can control this.
Copy !req
182. Remember who you used to be.
Copy !req
183. Steven, I don't think it's working.
Copy !req
184. Steven!
Copy !req
185. Hey!
Over here!
Copy !req
186. Connie, what are you doing?
Copy !req
187. I...
Copy !req
188. I don't know.
Copy !req
189. I... wasn't prepared
for this.
Copy !req
190. Steven, Connie?
Copy !req
191. Is this because of
the "favorite gem" thing?
Copy !req
192. Heh, that was just a joke!
Copy !req
193. - Don't tell Garnet.
- Connie!
Copy !req
194. Pearl, we found the monster!
Copy !req
195. - What?
- We need your help!
Copy !req
196. I'll be right there, Connie!
Copy !req
197. Who's that?
Copy !req
198. B-B-B-B-B-B-Bubble!
Copy !req
199. - Jasper.
- Those footprints.
Copy !req
200. The monsters were running
from her.
Copy !req
201. Connie, where's the ...
Jasper!
Copy !req
202. Hey, Rose, look what I got.
Copy !req
203. - Are you two okay?
- Yeah, we're fine.
Copy !req
204. Oh, thank goodness.
What a disaster.
Copy !req
205. I never would have let you
come on this mission
Copy !req
206. if I knew Jasper would be here.
Copy !req
207. - I'm sorry.
- What?
Copy !req
208. I thought I'd be ready to fight,
but I wasn't.
Copy !req
209. - I failed.
- You weren't supposed to fight.
Copy !req
210. You were supposed to
call me, and you did.
Copy !req
211. - This was a total success.
- Connie's first mission!
Copy !req
212. Connie's first mission!
Copy !req
213. - Group picture.
- Steven!
Copy !req
214. Oh. Another picture?
Copy !req
215. - Tell me when you...
- Eh, got it.
Copy !req
216. Oh, no. Are your parents
going to see this?
Copy !req
217. My parents see
all of my photos, ma'am.
Copy !req
218. Hmm.
Copy !req
