1. Not just the lid.
The entire can.
Copy !req
2. Uhh!
Copy !req
3. Doc, we've been at this
for 5 hours straight.
Copy !req
4. How about a lunch break?
Copy !req
5. Take 20 minutes.
Copy !req
6. You heard me!
I'm sick and tired of the testing!
Copy !req
7. - We all are!
- M'ijo, we must continue.
Copy !req
8. - They're at it again.
- Why? Just to prove your theory?
Copy !req
9. Si, Eduardo. I spent two decades
working on my Zeta beam technology
Copy !req
10. and now my son has
teleportation powers?
Copy !req
11. This cannot be
a coincidence.
Copy !req
12. The meta gene that Reach activated
inside you must be opportunistic,
Copy !req
13. taking advantage of whatever
is present in the subject's system.
Copy !req
14. Only the subject doesn't care!
I want a cure, not an explanation!
Copy !req
15. You have only
yourself to blame.
Copy !req
16. None of this
would have happened
Copy !req
17. if you hadn't run away from your
abuelo's home in Argentina.
Copy !req
18. I thought I wanted
to be with my father.
Copy !req
19. What a mistake
that turned out to be.
Copy !req
20. Uh, hey, Ed, we were
just passing by.
Copy !req
21. Didn't hear a thing.
Copy !req
22. Doesn't matter.
Same old, same old.
Copy !req
23. Come on. Only have about
12 minutes left for lunch,
Copy !req
24. and you know how Doc Wilcox
get when we're late.
Copy !req
25. This is so messed up. STAR's as bad
as the Reach and worse than home.
Copy !req
26. Tye, there's no way
this is as bad as the Reach.
Copy !req
27. Whatever, Newt. I just know
I can't take much more of this place.
Copy !req
28. You won't have to.
'Cause we're bustin' out tonight.
Copy !req
29. Season 2: Invasion
Episode 14: "Runaways"
Copy !req
30. The crates from the League have arrived
for temporary storage in our vault.
Copy !req
31. Amazo body parts, salvaged from the
Hall of Justice after it was destroyed.
Copy !req
32. That's enough for today.
Copy !req
33. We'll begin again promptly
at 06.00 hours tomorrow.
Copy !req
34. Domo.
Copy !req
35. Please, tell me you're
not serious about running.
Copy !req
36. Running, escaping, whatever
you want to call it, we're gone.
Copy !req
37. This is serious. I nearly
blew up Central City.
Copy !req
38. My powers may be gone now,
but what if they come back,
Copy !req
39. you know, escalate out of
control all over again?
Copy !req
40. What if your powers escalate?
Dude, you can't control them now.
Copy !req
41. Look, I know Wilcox
is a pain.
Copy !req
42. STAR is a pain, but they're trying
to keep us safe.
Copy !req
43. Or at least keep the world
safe from us.
Copy !req
44. I'm outta here.
Copy !req
45. - Oh, yeah.
- Adios.
Copy !req
46. - Are you coming, Sam?
Copy !req
47. That might mean "yes".
Copy !req
48. Sorry.
But I can't let you do this.
Copy !req
49. Let's go.
Copy !req
50. The alarm's put the whole place
on lockdown.
Copy !req
51. - Great! Now, what?
- No idea.
Copy !req
52. Well, what was
your escape plan?
Copy !req
53. I... I didn't actually have a chance
to come up with a plan, but...
Copy !req
54. - Hey, Ed can teleport us out.
- Haven't you been paying attention?
Copy !req
55. I can only teleport myself
and only along sight lines.
Copy !req
56. Which makes escaping from a windowless,
locked hallway somewhat difficult!
Copy !req
57. No problem.
Tye will do his thing.
Copy !req
58. He'll take the roof off the building
and pull us all out, right?
Copy !req
59. Wrong. I don't know how to activate
"my thing". It just happens.
Copy !req
60. You kids need
to come with us.
Copy !req
61. Don't think so.
Copy !req
62. Behind you...!
Copy !req
63. - Listen! This is for your own good!
- Heard that before.
Copy !req
64. Uhh!
Copy !req
65. - OK, now what?
- No idea.
Copy !req
66. What if it's a power outage?
Hey, maybe I blew the circuit.
Copy !req
67. Yeah, I don't think so.
Copy !req
68. Hey, no power, no lockdown.
Copy !req
69. Sam, you're a genius.
Copy !req
70. Never mind.
Let's go.
Copy !req
71. Look, Nightwing, I'm not
too comfortable with this.
Copy !req
72. - One of those STAR kids is my buddy Tye.
- Actually, I'm counting on that.
Copy !req
73. You can talk to him,
convince him that right now,
Copy !req
74. until we kick the Reach off world,
STAR is the safest place for them.
Copy !req
75. OK. I'm on it.
Copy !req
76. Dude, I can't believe
you called your family.
Copy !req
77. No way I'm going back to mine.
Copy !req
78. Look, I know that Reach was abducting
runaways, but with me, they got it wrong.
Copy !req
79. I was grabbed while waiting
at a train station to meet my sister.
Copy !req
80. My folks and I, we're good,
and they must be worried sick.
Copy !req
81. So, yeah, I called them.
Copy !req
82. I left a voicemail
asking them to wire money
Copy !req
83. so the 4 of us can buy
bus tickets to Dakota City.
Copy !req
84. - It's my hometown.
- That's your plan?
Copy !req
85. How are we supposed to find
a cure in Dakota City?
Copy !req
86. No idea. Except I don't
really want a cure.
Copy !req
87. I like my powers.
Copy !req
88. - Dude, don't drink that! It's Reach!
- Ptoo!
Copy !req
89. Ah, man...!
Copy !req
90. Just wake me when
it's time to go.
Copy !req
91. I have no idea.
Copy !req
92. Uhh!
Copy !req
93. - Companero, Wilcox is here.
- Oh, great.
Copy !req
94. Tye, Tye! Wake up, man.
We're in trouble.
Copy !req
95. This was not
in the briefing.
Copy !req
96. He... he's never manifested
in astral form this large.
Copy !req
97. Wait! Hold your fire! We're here
to protect them, remember?
Copy !req
98. Ah, OK.
Not what I expected, but...
Copy !req
99. Everyone stay calm.
The situation is under control.
Copy !req
100. - Uh! Tye!
- I don't think he can hear you.
Copy !req
101. Wait! Tye, stop!
Copy !req
102. Go back to STAR.
I'll handle this.
Copy !req
103. - Come on, man, wake up.
- Tye!
Copy !req
104. How'd I get...
Copy !req
105. Ohh, it happened again.
I thought I was dreaming.
Copy !req
106. No dream. Trust me.
Copy !req
107. I'm not here to hurt you.
But you 4 need to go back to STAR.
Copy !req
108. Look, I recognize you.
I know you're one of the good guys,
Copy !req
109. one of the heroes that saved
us all from the Reach.
Copy !req
110. - But, dude, you just don't get it.
- No, Tye, I really do.
Copy !req
111. - Jaime?
- Yeah, it's me.
Copy !req
112. - But how?
- It's a long story.
Copy !req
113. But it started
with this scarab.
Copy !req
114. It was created by the Reach
to both give me powers and control me.
Copy !req
115. So believe me, ese,
I get it.
Copy !req
116. Fine. You're one of us.
Copy !req
117. Except you're flying around
free as a... Beetle,
Copy !req
118. and you still expect us
to be lab rats for STAR.
Copy !req
119. No more, hermano.
Not for the Reach or STAR.
Copy !req
120. He's right, bro. You
can't take us back there.
Copy !req
121. Tye, what's the alternative?
Copy !req
122. I let you run loose until
the Reach snatches you up again?
Copy !req
123. No. We're headed to my
parents' place, so they can...
Copy !req
124. Get hurt or killed trying
to protect you? That's your plan?
Copy !req
125. Hai.
I'll help you.
Copy !req
126. - Dude, you speak Japanese?
- The scarab translates. Don't ask.
Copy !req
127. All right, new plan.
I have this buddy, Green Beetle.
Copy !req
128. He helped me. I think
he can help you, too.
Copy !req
129. He's not far from here.
I'll take you.
Copy !req
130. You abandoned the search for my son
and expect me not to worry? Rrr!
Copy !req
131. Why did I let you
talk me out of going?
Copy !req
132. Because, Doctor, you know Eduardo Jr. has
a history of running away from family.
Copy !req
133. Blue Beetle will find the
children and bring them back.
Copy !req
134. Ah!
Copy !req
135. Greetings, meat bags.
Copy !req
136. First things first.
Copy !req
137. Didn't want any Leaguers arriving
via Zeta tube, now, did we?
Copy !req
138. Where's Amazo?
Copy !req
139. - Nightwing. ¿Que pasa?
- Blue, your radio's down.
Copy !req
140. Kind of incognito
at the moment, ese.
Copy !req
141. Well, armor up. The robot Red Volcano is
attacking STAR to steal the body parts
Copy !req
142. of an android called Amazo,
probably to incorporate its tech.
Copy !req
143. And since Amazo was capable of duplicating
the powers of the Justice League,
Copy !req
144. we can't let Volcano succeed.
Copy !req
145. But I'm on the runaway teen thing.
I've, uh, almost tracked them down.
Copy !req
146. That can wait.
Zeta tube's offline,
Copy !req
147. so only Flash and Impulse
could get there fast enough.
Copy !req
148. And they're both rescuing
tsunami victims in Rulaysia.
Copy !req
149. You're the only one close.
Nightwing out.
Copy !req
150. - Minor setback.
- We heard.
Copy !req
151. - The volume on your phone's maxed out.
- Oh. OK.
Copy !req
152. Look, stay put and stay out of sight.
I'll be back soon.
Copy !req
153. - My dad could be in trouble.
- Dude, you hate your dad.
Copy !req
154. - O-only sometimes.
- Hey, it's cool.
Copy !req
155. If it were my dad, nothing
would keep me away. I'm with you.
Copy !req
156. So you two want to go back to
the exact place we just escaped from.
Copy !req
157. Whatever.
I'm in, too.
Copy !req
158. Sam?
Copy !req
159. Um... It doesn't look like
an evil robot's attacking.
Copy !req
160. - Aah!
- Aah!
Copy !req
161. Jaime...
Copy !req
162. We have to save
Blue Beetle!
Copy !req
163. How? I can't teleport
where I can't see,
Copy !req
164. and your powers wouldn't be
of any use either.
Copy !req
165. I'll save Jaime. You guys
just follow the robot.
Copy !req
166. Make sure no one else
gets hurt.
Copy !req
167. Go!
Copy !req
168. OK, I can do this.
Copy !req
169. Grandpa's been trying to teach
me focus since I was 8.
Copy !req
170. Breathe...
Copy !req
171. He'd say...
Copy !req
172. Breathe... And be.
Copy !req
173. No head.
Copy !req
174. Where's Amazo's head?
Copy !req
175. No se. The Justice League sent the head
to another location as insurance.
Copy !req
176. Then I'll take your head
as compensation.
Copy !req
177. You teleported...
With another person?
Copy !req
178. I was...
Copy !req
179. Motivated.
Copy !req
180. It hurts.
Copy !req
181. - We'll run interference.
- Will you, now?
Copy !req
182. Aah!
Copy !req
183. My turn, meat bags.
Copy !req
184. That's it, Tye!
Now pull!
Copy !req
185. Burning plasma. Really.
Copy !req
186. You don't seem to have grasped
whom you're dealing with.
Copy !req
187. The name is Volcano!
Copy !req
188. Aah!
Copy !req
189. You don't seem to have grasped
what you're dealing with either.
Copy !req
190. Didn't like that?
How about we up the decibels?
Copy !req
191. Beetle, stop!
Copy !req
192. Volume's still maxed out
and there are people in there.
Copy !req
193. First things first.
Copy !req
194. Just how well
do you know this guy?
Copy !req
195. Hey, Jaime's fighting an evil
robot, cut him some. OK?
Copy !req
196. Whatever. We got
bystanders to save.
Copy !req
197. Wait, Asami.
Mi hijo. My son.
Copy !req
198. This way!
Copy !req
199. - Thanks. Glad you came back.
- It's temporary.
Copy !req
200. Virgil. Asami-san.
Domo. Thank you.
Copy !req
201. I think
we got everyone out.
Copy !req
202. - Aah! - Uhh!
- Uhh!
Copy !req
203. Time to sacrifice your victory and
save the meat bags like a good hero.
Copy !req
204. You shouldn't stereotype.
Copy !req
205. Your friend was
going to sacrifice us.
Copy !req
206. You'll have to do
better than that, meat bag.
Copy !req
207. I'm really more
of a meat box.
Copy !req
208. And you...
You're just scrap.
Copy !req
209. Done. Now we need to get you
to Green Beetle.
Copy !req
210. - Jaime, I'm not sure...
- Tye, this is not up for debate.
Copy !req
211. We need to go now!
Copy !req
212. - Excuse me!
- A question... What happened here?
Copy !req
213. - How about a few words?
- Who are you?
Copy !req
214. - What's your nom de guerre?
- I'm... Blue Beetle.
Copy !req
215. - You're Blue Beetle?
- Haven't see you around lately.
Copy !req
216. Loving the new look.
Copy !req
217. I was happy to help, of course.
That's why I'm here.
Copy !req
218. I was still hot from battle
and overplayed my hand.
Copy !req
219. Really, I should've summoned you to pick
them up the moment I made contact.
Copy !req
220. You were attempting to win their trust
and increase their dependence.
Copy !req
221. It was a sensible tactic.
We will find them again in time.
Copy !req
222. Of course the timing of the
robot's attack didn't help.
Copy !req
223. On the contrary, It helped establish
your public profile as a true hero.
Copy !req
224. Which is easily
as important
Copy !req
225. as Green rebooted your scarab
to control the meat inside.
Copy !req
226. So you must control
the natives of this world,
Copy !req
227. enlarging the Reach's
foothold in the Galaxy.
Copy !req
228. Don't worry, my brothers.
Copy !req
229. The meat will soon
be eating out of your hands,
Copy !req
230. or else
they will not eat at all.
Copy !req
231. Is it really a good idea
to come back here?
Copy !req
232. It's brilliant. It's the one
place they'd never think to look.
Copy !req
233. - I mean, not a second time.
- I'm done running.
Copy !req
234. Yo tambien.
So now what?
Copy !req
235. - No idea.
- Sumimasen.
Copy !req
236. Sumimasen. That means
"trouble", doesn't it?
Copy !req
237. No idea.
Copy !req
238. It seems that sending Red Volcano
to attack STAR worked out marvelously...
Copy !req
239. Now, to seal the deal...
Copy !req
240. - Hey, you're Lex Luthor.
- In the flesh.
Copy !req
241. And you would be
Virgil Hawkins, Asami Koizumi,
Copy !req
242. Eduardo Dorado,
and Tye Longshadow.
Copy !req
243. - You know us?
- Know you? Heh.
Copy !req
244. My boy, I've been watching
over you for weeks.
Copy !req
245. Even arranged the power outage that
facilitated your escape from STAR.
Copy !req
246. Not to mention the timely
arrival of the press,
Copy !req
247. which enabled you
to evade Blue Beetle,
Copy !req
248. who, as you may have guessed,
has become an agent of the Reach.
Copy !req
249. But... You work with the Reach.
You make their refresco, their beverage.
Copy !req
250. True. But I've come to suspect they've
been using me for their own ends.
Copy !req
251. And I think you know
what that feels like.
Copy !req
252. It's a dangerous world.
Copy !req
253. Fortunately, I have
the resources to protect you.
Copy !req
254. Yeah, I heard that before.
What do you want?
Copy !req
255. To empower you.
Copy !req
256. Not meta powers. You're doing
just fine on that front.
Copy !req
257. Instead, I want to help
the 4 of you
Copy !req
258. finally take control
of your own destinies.
Copy !req
259. - Ah. Domo...?
- There is no pressure, my friends.
Copy !req
260. I'm not going to make you do
anything you don't want to do.
Copy !req
261. But I'm hoping
you can trust me.
Copy !req
262. What do you say?
Copy !req
