MERA'S FATHER:
Honey?

00:00:57.041 --> 00:00:59.625
Your mother and I
are going out, okay?

00:00:59.625 --> 00:01:00.791
MERA:
...okay.

00:01:00.791 --> 00:01:02.666
MERA'S FATHER:
Stay in bed this time, okay?

00:01:02.666 --> 00:01:03.666
You're not well.

00:01:05.083 --> 00:01:06.750
You'll be healthy enough
to play outside with the

00:01:06.750 --> 00:01:08.666
other kids soon, dear.

00:01:08.666 --> 00:01:10.166
MERA:
Okay...

00:01:10.166 --> 00:01:11.750
MERA'S FATHER:
Goodbye, sweetie.

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.750
(longing sigh)

MERA (present):
Episode 4: Reflection

00:01:23.333 --> 00:01:24.875
I won't...

00:01:24.875 --> 00:01:25.875
Hmm?

00:01:25.875 --> 00:01:27.458
I won't go!

00:01:27.458 --> 00:01:29.458
But... why ever not?

00:01:29.458 --> 00:01:30.833
Lady Mera is waiting!

00:01:30.833 --> 00:01:32.208
Because I don't wanna!

00:01:32.791 --> 00:01:34.125
Giovanni...

00:01:34.833 --> 00:01:37.666
Boss... stood up for me.

00:01:37.666 --> 00:01:39.416
He got hurt for me!

00:01:39.416 --> 00:01:42.000
And he says I should
stand up for myself!

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.458
I don't wanna have
my epithet taken away!

00:01:44.458 --> 00:01:46.291
But... y-you must!

00:01:46.291 --> 00:01:47.791
Lady Mera needs it!

00:01:47.791 --> 00:01:49.708
I'm sorry, but I need it too!

00:01:49.708 --> 00:01:51.708
[Molly dashes off
toward the exit,

00:01:51.708 --> 00:01:53.125
but she finds her path blocked-

00:01:53.125 --> 00:01:54.791
INDUS:
-by a barrier.]

00:01:55.041 --> 00:01:56.500
I'm sorry, Miss.

00:01:56.500 --> 00:01:59.666
But as a fellow bodyguard,
you must understand.

00:01:59.666 --> 00:02:02.083
I must do as Lady Mera commands.

00:02:02.083 --> 00:02:05.208
And she commands that
I capture YOU!

00:02:05.208 --> 00:02:07.958
Ah! No, no, no! Um...

00:02:07.958 --> 00:02:10.500
[She runs her hand along
the sand in the desert exhibit,

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:12.041
piling it up in her palm.

00:02:12.041 --> 00:02:13.833
As Indus reaches
out to grab her,

00:02:13.833 --> 00:02:15.583
she sprays it up into his eyes!]

00:02:15.583 --> 00:02:18.166
AH! SAND!
Sand in my eyes!

00:02:18.166 --> 00:02:21.041
The third worst place
for sand to be!

00:02:21.666 --> 00:02:23.333
No, Miss Bodyguard!

00:02:23.333 --> 00:02:24.958
Come back!

00:02:26.333 --> 00:02:27.583
(heavy breathing)

00:02:27.583 --> 00:02:29.250
Not bad, kid.

00:02:29.250 --> 00:02:32.458
That power of yours is
actually pretty impressive.

00:02:32.458 --> 00:02:33.708
I think I'll take it.

00:02:33.708 --> 00:02:35.416
You're no museum worker.

00:02:35.416 --> 00:02:36.958
You're just another thief!

00:02:36.958 --> 00:02:40.250
Aww! What was your first clue~?

00:02:43.708 --> 00:02:45.500
Your move, genius.

00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:48.500
I quite literally am a genius.

00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:50.333
Which means I'm smart
enough to know that I

00:02:50.333 --> 00:02:52.000
shouldn't hold back!

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.166
Let's see what you're
most afraid of!

00:02:54.166 --> 00:02:55.375
Nightmare Fuel!

00:02:57.666 --> 00:02:59.375
Wh...  what?

00:02:59.375 --> 00:03:00.375
Why didn't it-?

00:03:00.375 --> 00:03:01.875
MERA:
"What I'm most afraid of?"

00:03:02.458 --> 00:03:04.666
You wanna know what
I'm "most afraid of"?

00:03:05.708 --> 00:03:07.666
I'm afraid of this.

00:03:07.666 --> 00:03:09.208
I'm afraid of a world where

00:03:09.208 --> 00:03:12.291
I spend the rest of
my life like this.

00:03:12.291 --> 00:03:14.791
Brittle, and creaking, and...

00:03:14.791 --> 00:03:17.541
constantly on the
verge of breaking!

00:03:17.541 --> 00:03:19.291
I'm afraid of a life where

00:03:19.291 --> 00:03:22.125
someone bumping up against 
me on the street

00:03:22.125 --> 00:03:24.750
means a trip to the hospital!

00:03:24.750 --> 00:03:27.958
I'm afraid that
this is all there is!

00:03:28.541 --> 00:03:29.583
But now?

00:03:29.583 --> 00:03:32.166
I finally have an exit.

00:03:32.166 --> 00:03:34.666
I finally have a way to leave!

00:03:35.416 --> 00:03:38.208
And if you think you
can keep me here?

00:03:39.083 --> 00:03:42.041
Then you'd better be
ready to die trying.

00:03:42.625 --> 00:03:43.458
(Quack!)

00:03:44.125 --> 00:03:46.000
SYLVIE:
...also ducks, apparently.

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.208
They're small and fast
and they bite, okay!?

00:03:48.208 --> 00:03:49.083
Ugh!

00:03:49.083 --> 00:03:51.041
Whatever! Just DIE or something!

00:03:51.416 --> 00:03:52.666
(Molly panting)

00:03:52.666 --> 00:03:53.958
[Molly hops the rope,

00:03:53.958 --> 00:03:56.166
and skips up the
stegosaurus skeleton,

00:03:56.166 --> 00:03:58.083
climbing her way to
the top of the wall.

00:03:58.083 --> 00:04:00.625
She takes a hesitant step
onto the barrier prison and

00:04:00.625 --> 00:04:02.083
walks it like a tightrope!]

00:04:02.083 --> 00:04:05.208
DARK STAR:
Hey, kid! What are you doing?
That's dangerous!

00:04:05.208 --> 00:04:07.583
MOLLY:
Don't worry! I'm going to
get you out of here!

00:04:07.583 --> 00:04:08.875
Boss needs our help!

00:04:08.875 --> 00:04:10.666
CRUSHER:
"Boss?" Wait a second,

00:04:10.666 --> 00:04:12.125
what are you talking about?!

00:04:12.125 --> 00:04:13.666
INDUS:
Miss? MISS!

00:04:13.666 --> 00:04:14.791
MOLLY:
There's no time!

00:04:14.791 --> 00:04:16.166
Please, just trust me!

00:04:17.166 --> 00:04:18.833
Ah! There you are!

00:04:18.833 --> 00:04:21.291
Don't move! I am coming
to aprehend you! 

00:04:21.291 --> 00:04:24.291
(clearly lying)
Oh no, I've been caught!

00:04:24.291 --> 00:04:28.000
I sure hope this barrier
underneath me doesn't disappear!

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.166
Then I'd have
nowhere to run!

00:04:30.166 --> 00:04:32.333
HMM! You are RIGHT!

00:04:32.333 --> 00:04:34.791
Secret Technique: UN-BARRIER!

00:04:34.791 --> 00:04:36.208
Whoa! Aaaah!

00:04:36.791 --> 00:04:37.958
I gotcha!

00:04:37.958 --> 00:04:40.375
Thanks... Boss is in
the next room over!

00:04:40.375 --> 00:04:41.958
This big guy beat him up...

00:04:41.958 --> 00:04:43.666
He's trying to catch me,
and I need your help

00:04:43.666 --> 00:04:45.041
to get away from him!

00:04:45.041 --> 00:04:45.833
O-okay!

00:04:45.833 --> 00:04:47.250
We'll do our best!

00:04:47.916 --> 00:04:50.083
We're the Banzai Blasters!

00:04:50.083 --> 00:04:51.958
Nobody messes with us!

00:04:51.958 --> 00:04:54.000
Prepare to meet your doom!

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.875
Hwa! Hoo! Hoo-wah!!!

00:04:55.875 --> 00:04:57.291
Hi-yah.

00:04:57.708 --> 00:04:58.458
OOF!

00:04:58.750 --> 00:05:01.791
Well, they tried their
Bargain Bin Best.

00:05:01.791 --> 00:05:04.291
But they bought me a few
seconds and that's all I needed!

00:05:04.291 --> 00:05:06.625
[Molly dips under the rope
and begins crawling up the

00:05:06.625 --> 00:05:08.333
tail of the apatosaurus!]

00:05:08.333 --> 00:05:10.166
Hey! Get off of there!

00:05:10.166 --> 00:05:11.791
One does not ride a mighty

00:05:11.791 --> 00:05:13.833
dinosaur without
its permission!

00:05:13.833 --> 00:05:14.708
Barrier!

00:05:14.708 --> 00:05:16.041
[Molly roots around in her

00:05:16.041 --> 00:05:18.708
backpack and pulls out
the gun Giovanni gave her.

00:05:18.708 --> 00:05:20.708
She looks at it for a second...

00:05:20.708 --> 00:05:22.833
and then CHUCKS it at
the base of the bones!]

00:05:22.833 --> 00:05:24.750
Hey! Do not throw guns!

00:05:24.750 --> 00:05:27.958
I'm a bad guy now!
I can do what I want!

00:05:27.958 --> 00:05:30.333
[The dinosaur
wibbles and wobbles!

00:05:30.333 --> 00:05:34.125
its bones creak ominously as
the beast begins to collapse!]

00:05:34.125 --> 00:05:36.166
MOLLY:
You should reposition
your barriers if you 

00:05:36.166 --> 00:05:37.916
wanna save the dinosaur!

00:05:37.916 --> 00:05:39.541
INDUS:
Uh... uh!

00:05:39.541 --> 00:05:40.750
Oh, I DO!

00:05:40.750 --> 00:05:42.791
I DO want to save
the dinosaur!

00:05:42.791 --> 00:05:44.750
Hrrrrngh!!!

Thank goodness...

MOLLY:
[Molly shimmies her
way up the neck,

00:05:52.416 --> 00:05:55.041
and hops into a nearby
air vent on the ceiling.]

00:05:55.041 --> 00:05:55.916
INDUS:
Wh- hey, hey!

00:05:55.916 --> 00:05:57.333
No no no no no oh...

00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.291
Aww...

00:05:59.291 --> 00:06:01.083
Phew... okay.

00:06:01.083 --> 00:06:03.750
He shouldn't be able
to follow me up here.

00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:07.708
What are those lights up ahead?

00:06:07.708 --> 00:06:11.375
Scootch... scootch... scootch...

00:06:11.375 --> 00:06:13.083
Alright, let's group up
into teams of three and

00:06:13.083 --> 00:06:14.125
sweep the building.

00:06:14.125 --> 00:06:15.333
We don't know what's going on,

00:06:15.333 --> 00:06:16.291
how many perps there are,

00:06:16.291 --> 00:06:17.583
or whether they're armed.

00:06:17.583 --> 00:06:20.375
Whoa! Look at all the policemen!

00:06:20.375 --> 00:06:22.875
I didn't think so
many would show up.

00:06:22.875 --> 00:06:24.083
That's good.

00:06:24.083 --> 00:06:26.708
I shouldn't have to worry
about Mr. Indus anymore.

00:06:26.708 --> 00:06:28.916
HOOOO-WAAAAAH!!!

00:06:29.583 --> 00:06:31.250
BEARDED COP:
Is that man...

00:06:31.250 --> 00:06:33.000
...carrying a dinosaur?

INDUS:
Little bodyguard?!
Where did you go?!

00:06:36.250 --> 00:06:38.208
Oh! Hello police.

POLICEWOMAN:
96-18, We have a

Bronto- possibly apatosaurus.

Requesting backup immediately.

00:06:47.125 --> 00:06:48.833
Hah! Well!

00:06:49.291 --> 00:06:50.625
This is awkward!

00:06:50.625 --> 00:06:52.666
That should be a good
enough distraction...

00:06:52.666 --> 00:06:55.791
I need to get back to the others
before the police find them!

00:06:55.791 --> 00:06:57.916
Scootch scootch...

barrier on your TV!

Epithet Erased!

00:07:11.541 --> 00:07:13.583
Yeah. We're back.

SYLVIE:
I see...

00:07:28.291 --> 00:07:31.041
Your body is too frail
for your own epithet...

00:07:31.041 --> 00:07:32.541
You can't keep this up!

00:07:32.541 --> 00:07:34.416
It's a war of attrition then!

00:07:34.416 --> 00:07:36.375

00:07:38.333 --> 00:07:40.416
All I have to do is
survive until your own

00:07:40.416 --> 00:07:41.833
power knocks you out!

00:07:41.833 --> 00:07:43.583
(panting)

00:07:44.041 --> 00:07:45.875
You think you can outlast me!?

00:07:47.083 --> 00:07:49.250
You'd better... Watch Your Step!

00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:52.833
(bleats of defeat)

00:07:55.375 --> 00:07:56.875
Ah! She's fast!

00:07:57.416 --> 00:07:58.041
AGH!

00:07:58.041 --> 00:07:59.208
[She grabs Sylvie's

00:07:59.208 --> 00:08:01.666
chest and clasps her fingers!

00:08:01.666 --> 00:08:04.541
His ribs turn britttle
and his breath chokes!]

00:08:04.541 --> 00:08:05.833
Agh!

00:08:05.833 --> 00:08:07.125
You feel that?

00:08:07.125 --> 00:08:08.583
How your bones feel like

00:08:08.583 --> 00:08:11.416
drywall on the verge
of caving in!?

00:08:11.416 --> 00:08:12.666
Gahk!

00:08:12.666 --> 00:08:16.125
That's how I feel...
all the time.

00:08:16.125 --> 00:08:18.041
Most people who train
their epithet figure out

00:08:18.041 --> 00:08:21.333
new powers and ways to get
around their weaknesses...

00:08:21.333 --> 00:08:22.375
Heh...

00:08:22.833 --> 00:08:23.750
Not me.

00:08:24.041 --> 00:08:25.416
The more I train,

00:08:25.416 --> 00:08:27.625
the stronger my epithet grows,

00:08:27.625 --> 00:08:29.500
the weaker I get.

00:08:29.791 --> 00:08:31.666
The only new trick I've
found is the ability to

00:08:31.666 --> 00:08:34.750
suck stamina out
of other people.

00:08:34.750 --> 00:08:37.666
All I can do is
steal from others!

00:08:38.208 --> 00:08:39.916
So when I heard
about this amulet?

00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:42.375
I figured why not lean into it?

00:08:42.833 --> 00:08:44.041
Let me show you...

00:08:44.916 --> 00:08:47.041
N-no! I won't let you!

00:08:47.041 --> 00:08:48.000
(grunt)

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:49.958
Take THIS!

00:08:49.958 --> 00:08:52.041
HYAAAAAAAAAH!!!

00:08:53.916 --> 00:08:56.250
MERA:
Did he seriously pass
out from the shock?

00:08:56.250 --> 00:08:57.250
What a weenie.

00:08:57.666 --> 00:08:59.541
Half of my bones are
broken right now and

00:08:59.541 --> 00:09:01.208
you don't hear me complaining!

00:09:01.916 --> 00:09:03.041
...much.

00:09:03.041 --> 00:09:06.333
hhhrrrAAAAAAAAGH!!!

00:09:06.333 --> 00:09:07.708
Oh. That's...

00:09:08.583 --> 00:09:09.541
...new.

00:09:10.750 --> 00:09:13.125
Ah... Ow...

00:09:13.875 --> 00:09:16.333
O-oh great!
And that's still happening!

00:09:16.333 --> 00:09:18.750
BEEFTON:
[Beefton stomps the ground...

00:09:19.041 --> 00:09:21.000
He levels his horns,

00:09:21.458 --> 00:09:24.208
...and prepares to CHARGE!]

00:09:24.208 --> 00:09:25.333
MERA:
Oh, great!

00:09:27.625 --> 00:09:30.208
There! Let's see you
get through those!

00:09:30.208 --> 00:09:32.125
(Beefton grunts)

00:09:32.125 --> 00:09:33.666
I wasn't SERIOUS!

00:09:33.875 --> 00:09:35.416
[She digs her hand
into the ground

00:09:35.416 --> 00:09:37.250
and a wall of crystalline spikes

00:09:37.250 --> 00:09:39.041
shoot up from the
rubble beneath!]

00:09:39.041 --> 00:09:41.000
HHRRRAAAAAGH!!!

00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.583
Beefton will enjoy
examining your cadaver!

00:09:44.791 --> 00:09:47.083
BAM! BAM! BAM!

00:09:47.083 --> 00:09:48.958
Dammit dammit dammit dammit!

00:09:48.958 --> 00:09:50.458
[She balls her fist, and,

00:09:50.916 --> 00:09:52.375
with a moment of hesitation...

00:09:52.708 --> 00:09:54.500
DIGS it into the
wall behind her,

00:09:54.500 --> 00:09:56.375
breaking at least two
of her fingers!]

00:09:56.375 --> 00:09:58.500
(pained cries)

00:09:58.500 --> 00:10:00.333
[A fissure snakes up
from the impact,

00:10:00.333 --> 00:10:03.916
creeping up, up, UP the wall
and into the ceiling!

00:10:03.916 --> 00:10:06.208
Crack, crack, CRACK!!!

00:10:06.208 --> 00:10:08.541
It criss-crosses until a
chunk of the roof has been

00:10:08.541 --> 00:10:10.125
completely encircled!]

00:10:10.333 --> 00:10:11.250
BEEFTON: Eh?

00:10:11.250 --> 00:10:12.458
Something something,

00:10:12.458 --> 00:10:14.000
bull in a china shop.

00:10:14.416 --> 00:10:16.625
That's a pretty bad
one-liner, but...

00:10:16.625 --> 00:10:20.041
No one's around to hear it,
so it doesn't matter! Hah!

00:10:20.916 --> 00:10:22.791
(Molly screaming)

00:10:23.416 --> 00:10:24.916
MERA:
Wait, you were there too?

00:10:24.916 --> 00:10:26.875
Dammit, should've said
something cool after all...

00:10:27.416 --> 00:10:29.625
Wait, no, this is perfect!

00:10:29.625 --> 00:10:30.375
C'MERE!

00:10:30.375 --> 00:10:31.166
(Molly screams)

00:10:31.166 --> 00:10:32.500
[Mera's hand reaches to

00:10:32.500 --> 00:10:34.750
grab hold of Molly's epithet.

00:10:34.750 --> 00:10:37.791
The amulet glows
an unsettling green

00:10:37.791 --> 00:10:41.750
as her nails move to
close around Molly's neck!

00:10:41.750 --> 00:10:43.333
But something holds her back!]

00:10:43.833 --> 00:10:46.333
Don't... touch her...

00:10:46.833 --> 00:10:47.666
Fine!

00:10:47.666 --> 00:10:49.666
If you can't wait your turn,

00:10:49.666 --> 00:10:52.166
I'll take your epithet first!

00:10:52.166 --> 00:10:54.125
Agh! Grraaaah!

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:58.333
[The amulet glimmers and an
orange aura surrounds the boy.

00:10:58.750 --> 00:11:01.125
It dances for a
moment, fleeting...

00:11:01.125 --> 00:11:03.666
...and then rushes along
Mera's outstretched arm

00:11:03.666 --> 00:11:07.083
into the gem of the
Arsene Amulet.]

00:11:07.083 --> 00:11:08.833
(evil laughter)

00:11:08.833 --> 00:11:11.833
Oh... I can FEEL it!

00:11:11.833 --> 00:11:14.083
All your STRENGTH!

00:11:14.083 --> 00:11:16.000
All your POWERS!

00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.083
They're mine!

00:11:18.083 --> 00:11:19.708
...thank you for your
contribution to the

00:11:19.708 --> 00:11:21.541
museum's collection...

00:11:21.541 --> 00:11:22.625
Kid.

00:11:23.083 --> 00:11:23.958
Sylvie!

00:11:24.208 --> 00:11:27.041
Now, what did he call
that ability again...?

00:11:27.458 --> 00:11:28.916
Oh right!

00:11:28.916 --> 00:11:30.375
Nightmare Fuel!

00:11:32.541 --> 00:11:35.708
Oh, that's much better!

00:11:35.708 --> 00:11:37.500
I could get used to this.

00:11:37.500 --> 00:11:39.458
Now it's your turn, little girl.

00:11:39.458 --> 00:11:42.208
Wait! Indus got
captured by the cops!

00:11:42.208 --> 00:11:43.666
Don't you need to
go and help him?

00:11:43.666 --> 00:11:44.916
He...?

00:11:44.916 --> 00:11:46.541
Ugh. That idiot...

00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:48.708
Well it's his own stupid fault.

00:11:48.708 --> 00:11:49.958
He can get out of it himself!

00:11:50.250 --> 00:11:52.625
But... don't you like him?

00:11:52.625 --> 00:11:53.625
H-huh!?

00:11:53.625 --> 00:11:55.750
W-well, I... I mean...

00:11:55.750 --> 00:11:58.041
He's free labor, but...

00:11:58.041 --> 00:11:59.791
MOLLY:
You sound like my dad.

00:12:00.041 --> 00:12:02.208
It's nice to have someone
looking out for you.

00:12:02.583 --> 00:12:04.250
You shouldn't take
it for granted.

00:12:04.250 --> 00:12:07.208
I don't take life advice
from a toddler.

00:12:07.208 --> 00:12:09.000
And don't bother
looking for a way out.

00:12:09.333 --> 00:12:11.708
There's no escape.
[She reaches for Molly]

00:12:11.708 --> 00:12:13.541
MOLLY:
Indus told me
about your epithet!

00:12:13.541 --> 00:12:16.000
If it really hurts
so much, then why...

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:17.541
why don't you just
have somebody use

00:12:17.541 --> 00:12:19.416
the necklace to steal it away?

00:12:19.416 --> 00:12:20.583
You could get rid of it!

00:12:20.583 --> 00:12:21.500
MERA:
And what?!

00:12:21.500 --> 00:12:23.000
Lose what little I've gained

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.041
from all my effort
the past ten years!?

00:12:25.500 --> 00:12:27.000
This training?

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:28.708
This is all I have!

00:12:28.708 --> 00:12:32.375
Why should I have to
throw away all my hard work!?!

00:12:32.375 --> 00:12:33.541
MOLLY:
You shouldn't.

00:12:33.541 --> 00:12:34.375
W-wh...?

00:12:34.916 --> 00:12:36.625
It's NOT fair.

00:12:36.625 --> 00:12:38.416
I know it's not.

00:12:38.416 --> 00:12:40.375
The world never is.

00:12:40.375 --> 00:12:43.500
But that doesn't mean you should
make other people hurt instead.

00:12:44.208 --> 00:12:47.583
If you act a little nicer,
you get a little nice back.

00:12:48.541 --> 00:12:49.666
...usually.

00:12:50.166 --> 00:12:51.458
MERA:
...be quiet.

00:12:51.958 --> 00:12:53.208
If you say so.

00:12:53.583 --> 00:12:56.041
So WHAT if other
people get hurt, huh!?

00:12:56.541 --> 00:12:59.125
I've been hurting my whole life.

00:12:59.125 --> 00:13:03.166
I just want it to stop,
for ten minutes!

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:04.916
Is that so wrong?!

00:13:05.666 --> 00:13:07.375
...and now it's here.

00:13:07.375 --> 00:13:10.208
The answer is right here!

00:13:10.583 --> 00:13:13.083
I just have to reach
out and GRAB IT!

00:13:13.375 --> 00:13:14.958
A new life!

00:13:14.958 --> 00:13:18.041
It's so close...
I can almost hear it!

00:13:18.416 --> 00:13:21.083
...wait. No I can't.
I can't hear anything.

00:13:21.375 --> 00:13:22.666
Why can't I hear anything!?

00:13:27.416 --> 00:13:29.458
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

00:13:33.291 --> 00:13:34.916
(CRASH!)

00:13:36.916 --> 00:13:38.000
(sigh)

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.791
Now that's what
I call a Bear Trap.

00:13:40.791 --> 00:13:41.875
Rwar~!

00:13:41.875 --> 00:13:42.875
(giggles)

00:13:43.833 --> 00:13:47.750
[Giovanni struts over to
Mera's unconscious body

00:13:47.750 --> 00:13:51.583
leans down, and takes the
Arsene Amulet from her.

00:13:51.583 --> 00:13:53.250
The battle is over.]

00:13:53.250 --> 00:13:54.708
DARK STAR:
That was amazing, boss!

00:13:54.708 --> 00:13:56.250
SPIKE:
Yeah! Super cool!

00:13:56.250 --> 00:13:57.791
(honkeytonk Giovanni laugh)

00:13:57.791 --> 00:14:00.750
Well, y'know!
All in a day's work!

00:14:00.750 --> 00:14:03.125
Plus, I gained a ton of

00:14:03.125 --> 00:14:04.958
proficiency from
winning that battle!

00:14:04.958 --> 00:14:07.916
And all that smoke gave
me an idea for a new move!

00:14:07.916 --> 00:14:10.166
Check it out! Hoo-wah~!

00:14:10.166 --> 00:14:13.291
[Giovanni spreads his arms
and the area around him is

00:14:13.291 --> 00:14:16.208
blanketed in a fog
as thick as...

00:14:16.208 --> 00:14:17.875
pea soup.]

00:14:17.875 --> 00:14:19.791
Not bad, huh?

00:14:19.791 --> 00:14:21.500
So! What do you think of the

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:23.250
Fog of Lost Souls!?

00:14:23.250 --> 00:14:25.000
It smells delicious, Boss!

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:26.291
I LOVE YOU!

00:14:26.291 --> 00:14:27.666
I LOVE YOU MORE!!!

00:14:27.666 --> 00:14:29.583
Also it heals you if
you stand in it!

00:14:29.583 --> 00:14:30.958
Just like real souls!

00:14:30.958 --> 00:14:33.500
(moan) What happened?

00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:37.708
You TOTALLY Dr. Beefed-It
and got your epithet stolen

00:14:37.708 --> 00:14:39.708
like a NERRRRD!

00:14:39.708 --> 00:14:43.666
Luckily for you, the 
Banzai Blasters saved the day!

00:14:44.208 --> 00:14:46.250
Can I please have
my epithet back?

00:14:46.250 --> 00:14:48.500
Only if you BEG!

00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:49.875
Never, cretin!

00:14:49.875 --> 00:14:51.625
Oho, well, that's a shame.

00:14:51.625 --> 00:14:55.416
I guess your epithet belongs
to the BANZAI BLASTERS now!

00:14:55.416 --> 00:14:57.541
No! I want it!

00:14:57.541 --> 00:14:59.916
I want it, I want it,
I want it, I want it!

00:14:59.916 --> 00:15:01.416
Give it baaaaack!

00:15:01.666 --> 00:15:03.250
Boss. C'mon.

00:15:03.250 --> 00:15:04.625
What's that, Bear Trap?

00:15:04.625 --> 00:15:07.333
I can't hear it when
you mumble like that!

00:15:07.333 --> 00:15:09.500
If you want something, speak up!

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:11.541
Boss! Give it back to him.

00:15:12.208 --> 00:15:12.958
Please.

00:15:13.250 --> 00:15:14.708
Okay, fine!

00:15:14.708 --> 00:15:18.333
But only because Bear
Trap asked so nicely.

00:15:18.333 --> 00:15:21.166
Gotta give her some positive
reinforcement, after all.

00:15:21.166 --> 00:15:23.666
You're lucky I'm
such a good mentor~

00:15:23.666 --> 00:15:26.833

presses the amulet to Sylvie.

You're welcome!

were behind this!

00:16:06.833 --> 00:16:07.875
Whoa!

00:16:07.875 --> 00:16:10.041
Is that a real-ass sword?!

00:16:10.041 --> 00:16:11.166
Holy crap!

00:16:12.208 --> 00:16:13.791
real-ass, goddamned swords.

00:16:13.791 --> 00:16:15.458
That's out of our pay grade.

00:16:15.458 --> 00:16:16.625
Uh uh. We're done.

00:16:16.625 --> 00:16:17.791
Indeed! That's what your

00:16:17.791 --> 00:16:19.916
friends said before
we captured them.

Aw geez, you guys...

00:16:23.875 --> 00:16:25.041
And what of those two?

00:16:25.041 --> 00:16:26.708
Are these youths
also part of your

00:16:26.708 --> 00:16:28.291
criminal cavalcade?

00:16:28.291 --> 00:16:30.458
[She gestures towards
Sylvie and Molly.]

00:16:33.208 --> 00:16:35.125
As IF!

00:16:35.125 --> 00:16:37.875
The Banzai Blasters
would never hire some

00:16:37.875 --> 00:16:40.375

00:16:40.375 --> 00:16:42.125
These two are our hostages!

00:16:42.125 --> 00:16:43.625
So you'd better not shoot!

[He lifts Molly up and
places her in front of him]

Oh no!

00:16:47.416 --> 00:16:49.708
I am an unwilling hostage!

00:16:49.708 --> 00:16:51.625
I hope I am not hit!

00:16:51.625 --> 00:16:52.958
By a gun!

00:16:52.958 --> 00:16:55.416
Or a real-ass
goddamned sword!

Egads!

She swore!

00:16:58.500 --> 00:17:01.250
And I don't feel bad about it!

00:17:01.250 --> 00:17:04.666
My innocent youth is
already being corrupted by

00:17:04.666 --> 00:17:06.416
Bad guy proximity!

00:17:06.416 --> 00:17:07.333
No!

(evil cackle)

00:17:11.458 --> 00:17:13.625
That's right!
You wouldn't want to

00:17:13.625 --> 00:17:15.541
hit one of those hostages

00:17:15.541 --> 00:17:18.375
through the fog by mistake!

00:17:18.375 --> 00:17:20.125
Through the "fog"?

00:17:20.125 --> 00:17:21.166
What fog?

00:17:21.166 --> 00:17:22.500
The fog...

00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:24.875
OF LOST SOULS!

What!? Where did they go!?

00:17:29.291 --> 00:17:31.125
GIOVANNI:
So long, suckers!

00:17:31.125 --> 00:17:33.166
We'll meet again
soon, Bear Trap!

00:17:33.166 --> 00:17:35.000
DARK STAR:
SEE YA LATER, COPPERS!

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:35.916
POLICEWOMAN:
Curses!

00:17:35.916 --> 00:17:37.291
Split up and search for them!

00:17:37.291 --> 00:17:39.041
We can't let them get away!

00:17:39.041 --> 00:17:40.416
I'll look after these citizens.

00:17:40.416 --> 00:17:41.833
BEARDED COP:
Yes, ma'am!

00:17:41.833 --> 00:17:44.500
And who in the world
is "Bear Trap"...?

00:17:46.458 --> 00:17:47.833
MOLLY:
Epithet Erased!

00:17:55.541 --> 00:17:58.916
SHEEP:
Epithet Erased! Baa!

00:18:10.458 --> 00:18:12.333
You think he'll be okay?

00:18:12.333 --> 00:18:13.333
Not to worry.

00:18:13.333 --> 00:18:15.000
He's sustained some
minor injuries

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:16.750
but I think he'll pull through.

00:18:16.750 --> 00:18:19.250
It's a good thing he managed
to get his epithet back, though.

00:18:19.250 --> 00:18:22.291
A dangerous artifact like
that amulet simply cannot be

00:18:22.291 --> 00:18:24.166
left in the hands of criminals.

00:18:24.166 --> 00:18:26.125
I'm afraid this is going
to be the start of a

00:18:26.125 --> 00:18:28.208
lot of work for
the police force.

00:18:28.208 --> 00:18:31.166
I wish I got a chance to
examine it up close...

00:18:31.166 --> 00:18:32.500
(coughing)

00:18:33.333 --> 00:18:35.250
Call the number on
that card when you

00:18:35.250 --> 00:18:37.458
get a room at the hospital, ok?

00:18:37.458 --> 00:18:40.000
I'll send over some
Get Well toys from the store.

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.083
Uh... thanks!

00:18:43.958 --> 00:18:45.125
Um...

00:18:45.125 --> 00:18:46.625
Did you mean it?

00:18:46.625 --> 00:18:48.916
When you said you
would... be my friend?

00:18:48.916 --> 00:18:51.875
Sure! If you want me to be.

00:18:51.875 --> 00:18:54.041
Uh... yeah!

00:18:55.291 --> 00:18:56.125
See you!

00:18:56.791 --> 00:18:57.791

00:18:58.375 --> 00:19:00.833
OW! Hey, watch the eyes!

00:19:01.333 --> 00:19:03.416
Well, we've wrapped up
most everything here.

00:19:03.833 --> 00:19:05.458
But I'm afraid we still can't

00:19:05.458 --> 00:19:07.000

hold of your father.

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:08.541
(Sigh...)

00:19:08.541 --> 00:19:10.291
Yeah, that tracks.

00:19:10.291 --> 00:19:11.875
O-ow!

00:19:11.875 --> 00:19:13.833
Careful with those
handcuffs, alright?

00:19:13.833 --> 00:19:16.833
I apologize for getting
us captured, Lady Mera.

00:19:16.833 --> 00:19:18.958
I will do my best
to scootch

00:19:18.958 --> 00:19:21.291
so you may have as much
room as possible.

00:19:21.291 --> 00:19:23.083
Shut up, Indus.

00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:26.166
[Mera sighs and
squeaks in behind him.

00:19:26.541 --> 00:19:30.416
She grimaces as her broken bones
press against Indus's girth.

00:19:31.333 --> 00:19:32.458
...She's used to it.]

00:19:33.083 --> 00:19:35.500
[Molly walks over
before they shut the door.

00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:36.958
Ah, careful citizen.

00:19:36.958 --> 00:19:38.625
Just because they're
wearing eraser cuffs

00:19:38.625 --> 00:19:40.833
doesn't mean they
aren't dangerous.

00:19:40.833 --> 00:19:41.916
It'll be okay.

00:19:42.666 --> 00:19:44.333
...what do you want?

00:19:44.333 --> 00:19:46.500
I'm sorry I couldn't
give you my epithet.

00:19:47.041 --> 00:19:49.791
Really, I am. I just...

I need it to deal with
stuff at home for awhile.

00:19:55.708 --> 00:19:57.958
But I can at least
do this much for you...

[She gently takes
Mera's hands in her own

00:20:01.166 --> 00:20:02.541
and closes her eyes.

00:20:03.833 --> 00:20:05.833
There's a moment of
serene quiet.

00:20:06.958 --> 00:20:09.083
For the first time
in a long while,

00:20:09.916 --> 00:20:12.333
Mera doesn't feel...

00:20:12.333 --> 00:20:13.625
anything.

00:20:14.208 --> 00:20:18.958
No discomfort. No pain. Just...

00:20:19.416 --> 00:20:20.708
Quiet.

ride a little nicer, at least.

quite as expected today,
