"And while Royalle is assumed dead, and Wolfe behind bars, there's a shadow over Diamond's reputation to this day."

"Deena, get her some nuts." "You took over the show, get your own fucking props." "I stepped in there to help you." "The least you could do..." "She's eating out of the palm of your hand." "Look at..." "Oh." "WALKER:" "Oh, shit!" "(COUGHING)" "It takes some getting used to." "Where's Bug?" "He's been helping me." "He's been helping you, how?" "He's introducing me to Powers." "Like Olympia." "He said maybe I could meet more if I wanted." "He gave you Sway for Olympia." "Yeah." "And he took it." "And we hooked up." "I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth after, you know." "And I came back and he was dead." "Can you tell me who you talked to at Powers Division?" "That cop that used to be somebody." "Diamond." "Walker." "Yeah, nuts it is." "Deena, get her some nuts." "What was that?" "Johnny Royalle." "Royalle is dead." "Yeah, but that distortion is his power signature." "We need to call the Shaft." "I called the Shaft." "All stations are secure." "Wolfe hasn't moved." "Royalle is dead." "There's no way he can teleport Wolfe out of the Shaft." "Am I the only one that sees we need a Dangerous Powers Bulletin on this girl?" "We DPB her and it will be open season." "She's a Wannabe." "Hey, have you spoken with Dr. Death?" "We need to find the girl." "She'll be down on the strip with the Powerz Kidz." "Get a cause of death on Olympia before the media makes one up." "Did you tell him about Bug?" "About Sway?" "I grew up with Walker." "Diamond." "He picked that name because he wanted to be thought of as hard, sharp-edged." "But he wasn't." "And that gap between who he wanted to be and who he really was" "cost him his powers." "It's very hard to know who we really are." "The secret to doing everything that you are capable of is to understand how little time we have." "We're all of us merely here, then gone." "I know what I am." "I'm a Power." "I just don't have my powers yet." "And Olympia was gross and old, and whatever..." "I thought it would help turn my powers on." "I didn't feel anything." "Can Bug, maybe, introduce me to someone else?" "So I can try again?" "Bug doesn't work for me anymore." "He broke the rules." "You'll have to stay here for now." "But it's boring here." "It's not as boring as jail." "I'll find you a better place soon." "A home, if you like." "Well, I may have lost Bug, but it seems I've gained a true friend, I hope." "His heart exploded." "Like a heart attack?" "Like a bomb." "Boom." "He was on a ton of shit." "Maybe there was a weird interaction that..." "A weird interaction?" "Sure, yeah, cocaine could have blown up his heart." "So might a bee sting or a solar flare." "He could be vulnerable to pussy for all I know." "All I want is for science to work right." " But the Powers fuck that up!" " WALKER:" "Hey, hey, hey." "Doc." "Doc." "I got you a, uh, triple shot, red-eye espresso." "Oh, praise God." "Ahh." "Yes." "Well, all that aside, there was something weird." "Whatever was in this envelope you found was also in his bloodstream." "And as this simulation shows, it appears to have been doing this." "WALKER:" "Jesus." "What the hell is that?" "The scientific term would be "fucked if I know."" "I used to watch that cartoon in the '90s." "You, Olympia, Retro Girl and Triphammer." "Did you guys really hang out, like, in real life?" "(SCOFFS) I know you're new to all this, but my partner was killed a few days ago, and now one of my oldest friends just died." "We are investigating your friend's possible murder." "So if there's an arch nemesis or villain who might want him dead..." "Arch nemesis?" "It's not a cartoon." "What, so you think he died of natural causes?" "Powers die of natural causes." "Philip may not look it, but he's 75 years old." "He's 75?" "Yeah." "Powers don't age the way that you people do." "Well, then shouldn't you be a little... or look a little..." "I'm not a Power anymore." "♪ Ten fifty million" "♪ A hundred nine trillion" "♪ That's what I deserve right now 'cause I'm killing it ♪" "They all have powers?" "No." "Only some of them."

"I came down here when I was 17." "You were one of those little shits?" "No." "No." "It was different back then." "Me and my friends, we went on patrols." "We wanted to do something, be something." "This generation, they don't do anything." "They make little Show Us Your Powers videos and try to go viral." "Look at them." "Standing around, waiting to be famous." "Your friends, those were the Kidz that Wolfe killed at the Sanction Lounge?" "What's it like moving back in with your dad?" "That's gotta make you feel like a total failure." " Did you see that?" " Yeah." "He's just showing off." " That's powers in a public place." " No!" "Hey!" "Stay in the car!" "God damn it." "Get back in the car!" "You, Houdini." "WALKER:" "Leave them alone, they're just kids." "Get your ass down." "Don't flash your powers at me, asshole."

"I don't know her." "DEENA:" "You." "Know her?" "Seen her?" "So, uh, what do you do?" "Uh, light, I do stuff with light." "Yeah, cool." "I like your outfit." "Thank you, I made it." " Really?" " Yeah." "Wow!" "You are that cop." "Yeah, you were Diamond." "Here, it's on The Powers That Used To Be app." "Really, I thought all the Kidz were into Supershock." "I like vintage."
