"Don't worry, you and your ugly little girlfriend are gonna be just fine." "Ah!" "( Car starts )" "This is Finch to base." "I've lost... right." "Ah!" "Well, kid." "I hope you like the height." "Ah!" "Oh!" "Jeez you're heavier than you look." "Hey!" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Uh, I was, uh, looking for the bathroom?" "Hey, hey the canon is loose." "Hey!" "Hey!" "( Alarm goes off )" "Ah!" "( Tires screeching )" "Denny, get in!" "( Tires screeching )" "This had better be important, doctor." "If you haven't heard the security alarms, we're having quite the hour." "This is good." "This is better than good." "We did it." "We did what?" "Well, uh, as we saw in our earlier experiments the human body can't take a direct exposure to zero energy." "It's just not equipped." "I mean, it can cause lifelong issues..." "I know, doctor, I was there the first time." "Get to the point." "Well, Denny's d.N.A. Is the closest we could get to postman zero's genetic code." "But somehow the boy absorbed the energy and expelled it, hitting his friends." "So we were testing this girl to see If we could extract that altered energy." "And?" "Well it was totally by accident, but we got something a lot better." "Let me show you." "What am I looking at?" "Okay, right now, we're sending small electrical impulses to her primary motor cortex." "We are causing her to move." "But, with the right amount of electricity..." "Is she?" "That's right, Mr. Burke, because of her exposure to zero energy" "this girl can fly." "Are they still following us?" "Nah, I think we're clear." "Good." "Don't you ever fall off the Mountain again." "Hey." "Hey." "You scared the crap out of us." "And how are you okay right now?" "I saw you Denny." "You looked dead." "You should be dead." "I don't know." "There was a machine on the Mountain top." "It shot a beam of light into me, and then I woke up back there fine." "I..." "I mean, look at my leg." "It's..." "It's completely healed." "I was in physical therapy for over a year, and I just woke up back there totally whole." "And you think this machine did that to you?" "Or those guys did." "We've got to call the police or something." "Do you have a phone?" "Ow!" "What?" "The stupid glove box has a..." "What did they do to me?" "Ah, Gwen." "Where did you say you got this car?" "Where is everybody else?" "We need to talk about your Uncle, Denny." "We're following them discreetly?" "They don't even know we're there." "Patch in to the car's Bluetooth," "I want to hear their conversation." "Sir, should we have let the candidate go?" "There is a method to my madness." "Where's Mr. Finch?" "Still not back, sir." "I was gonna send him a ride." "Don't bother." "I don't reward incompetence." "Yes, sir." "What the hell are they feeding you, kid?" "Rocks?" "Come out now and I won't hurt you." "Anymore." "I got to tell you I could use your help carrying your little friend here." "How do I know you just won't kill us?" "Think about it, genius." "Would I have carried this kid this far" "If my orders were to kill you?" "No, I was sent to retrieve you." "Retrieve us?" "For what?" "I don't know." "Maybe for that little trick you pulled back there?" "I mean, poof." "You disappeared." "I was on top of you and then you were nothing but air." "How did you do that?" "What did you do with Denny?" "Besides from being named Denny, he's just fine." "Took him to base." "So, I guess you know how I did that then." "That..." "Teleporting thing?" "No." "Hell, son, we're the ones that gave you that ability." "You know, we thought Denny was the key." "But, maybe It's you." "You know, we can teach you how to control it." "Hone it, and then when your power's at its greatest," "use it for what we need." "Hey." "I think I got the hang of it." "Ah!" "Ha, ha, two points." "Okay." "Come on, kid." "You wouldn't shoot an unarmed man, right?" "I mean, let's face it, you don't have the... balls." "Now that's for calling her ugly." "( Tosses gun )" "Denny:" "I can't believe that." "I do." "Your Uncle sent some guy out to kidnap us." "Who knows what he's doing to your brother, or Lisa." "Think about it." "He gives you this graduation present, and then sends you out into the middle of nowhere." "And then zaps you with some machine that does God knows what to you." "He knew you guys would be coming along." "I told him." "Why would he let me bring my friends If I was the experiment?" "Wouldn't he want to keep that a secret or something?" "Hey, look over there." "Gwen:" "Are you sure about this?" "Gwen, we've got to call the police." "I know, but here?" "It's the only place for Miles." "Yeah, just hurry." "Okay." "♪ I've got signs and signifiers ♪" "♪ gossipers and liars" "♪ twist me every way they wanna go ♪" "Hey, you can't be in here." "I need to use your phone." "The what?" "The phone." "Kid, get out of here." "Denny, let's go." "It's an emergency." "You can use the phone in my truck." "Earl!" "You stole my step-daughter, and you come to my bar." "Hell, I had half a caddy out looking for you, little morons." "Earl, stop it!" "Sheriff Desoto was going to get out his damn search chopper to look for you guys." "We went camping." "Well, I hope you had a good time, boy, because you're going to camp your ass in a holding cell for a week." "Maybe a month If ed can swing it." "Let go of him." "You're choking him." "Missy, you just wait till I get you home." "You're not gonna have it easy." "You're having trouble breathing, bastard?" "Well, you should have thought of that before you stole my little girl." "What the hell is that?" "Hey, that's sort of nice." "Where'd you get this?" "Did you steal it, too?" "Earl harland, you put him down, right now!" "Yeah?" "What are you going to do about it?" "Or I'll put you down like the rabid dog that you are." "Wait!" "You're on fire." "Let go of him." "I'll give you to the count of three." "One." "Gwen." "Gwen." "Two." "Stop." "Stop." "Three!" "What did I do?" "What did I just do?" "Denny, what are we going to do?" "I can't go back in there." "I just set him on fire." "We'll go to jail." "I don't know." "If we don't do something, he's gonna die." "No, no." "No, no, no, no." "I..." "I didn't mean to do it." "I just saw him threatening you and..." "And then my hands they started burning." "Gwen, stop." "Calm down." "I have an idea." "What's going on out here?" "Good lord, is that Earl?" "Unless you want to end up like him, get inside, and call an ambulance right now!" "Okay, miss, take it easy." "Nothing's the matter, everything's cool." "We only have 10 minutes until the cops get here." "Whatever you're going to do, do it fast." "Mr. harland, this might hurt." "Denny." "I'm okay." "So is he." "( Earl coughing )" "We got to go." "Help me up." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm..." "If you ever, ever think about touching me or my mother again, remember what just happened." "Remember what I can do to you." "( Earl coughs )" "Adam:" "Morning, little dude." "What happened?" "Well, Timmy, the driver man, hit you with some sort of tranquilizer." "Then dragged you down the Mountain." "I followed you guys, kicked his ass, and here we are." "How you feeling?" "Sore." "Yeah." "Hard to think." "Where's here?" "Well, I took you to the one place" "I knew they wanted to go." "Where they took Lisa and Denny." "Uncle Billy said they were going to take Denny to a hospital." "Yeah, well, Tim the driver said otherwise." "Some pretty weird stuff happened while you were asleep." "Like what?" "Like..." "How did you?" "I don't know how it works, and I don't know how it happened, but I can do this." "Archie:" "Oh!" "Hey." "Archie, do you remember that light that was on top of the Mountain?" "I think..." "I think it did something to us." "I think it changed us." "Einstein theorized that teleportation was tied to quantum entanglement, but nothing like you're doing." "How do you feel when you teleport?" "Do you feel different every time?" "Well, I feel fine." "I feel great!" "You know, I just..." "I just think about where I want to go and I focus and then..." "Oh." "I'm there." "Amazing!" "Here you try." "( Belches )" "Not quite the same thing." "Uh." "I don't know what they did to us." "And all clues point to these guys." "Let's go do some breaking and entering." "Pull over." "What?" "Why?" "Can you just pull over?" "Please." "Okay." "Denny:" "Everything okay?" "I just nearly killed my step-dad, do you think I'm okay?" "I just need a minute." "Things were happening really, really fast back there and..." "I know this might sound weird, but could you hold me?" "Yeah, okay." "Earl's gonna be okay, Gwen." "I fixed him, like you fix cars." "People aren't cars, Denny." "I just..." "I just shot flames from my hands." "You just saved a man's life by concentrating." "Who are we?" "What have we become?" "What you are, sweetie, is in a whole lot of trouble." "And don't even think about using that flame-on stuff on us." "Let's go." "Who are you guys, anyway?" "Huh?" "Tell me." "Sir, they are contained." "Heading towards you now." "Who's that you're talking to, huh?" "Is that my Uncle?" "Tell me!" "Say good night, kiddo." "( Air whooshes )" "Lisa." "Gwen." "You're awake." "What did you do to her?" "Just ran some tests." "I swear, If you hurt her in any way" "I'm gonna..." "You'll what?" "You'll healed me!" "We were unsure what the postman energy would do to your body." "And after your little outburst in the operating room" "I decided to give you some distance." "And to make sure you weren't going to be like your father and..." "Ka-boom!" "My father?" "Oh." "He never told you what happened?" "How he crippled you?" "His own son." "Dad!" "Postman zero, one in 25 billion." "Your father is a..." "True anomaly." "Your father possessed great power." "I was there the first time it manifested." "Wait, what was that?" "Oh, maybe..." "Maybe it was the boogeyman." "Ooh!" "Kevin, I'm serious, I heard something." "Oh, come on, It's probably some kid just playing pranks." "It's Halloween, you're just spooking yourself." "You sure?" "Sure, I'm sure." "And, hey, If it was the boogeyman, let him come." "I'll always protect you, little brother." "William:" "Kevin!" "Kevin's body didn't know what to do with the zero energy so it violently expelled it." "Your father very nearly killed a young boy that night." "Aah!" "I wanted to experiment on him." "See how far these abilities could go." "He refused." "He would hide his talents, no matter the cost." "So I travelled the world, recruiting like-minded individuals to help me." "And we began a worldwide hunt for potential postman candidates." "We drained the gene pool of those who did not match our needs." "And then, i heard about your accident." "I reached out to Kevin, offered help, guidance." "He took me at my word." "The fool." "We built this to contain Kevin's energies in hope that we might be able to replicate it in someone else." "Unfortunately, because of my own problems it was not me." "It was me." "What none of us could've anticipated was that the zero energy filtered through you and into your friends, giving each one of them different abilities." "So..." "So what you're saying is you all turned me and my friends into super people?" "Not for very long." "With the advancements that we've made in studying you and your friends as well as developing my own cocktail," "I can siphon the zero energy into me." "Cocktail?" "My own special mix." "It allows my body to process the zero energy." "And then what?" "Rule the world?" "No." "Nothing so silly." "If America is to have Posthumans, so should any country who wants to defend themselves." "So you're gonna start a super power cold war and sell yourself to the highest bidder?" "( Slow clapping )" "And here I thought Archie was the smart one." "It all just comes down to money." "You're just a simple conman." "But I'll be an exceptionally rich, intelligent, and dangerous conman, Denny." "The man I've strived to be." "Unfortunately, we're not entirely sure what the transference process will do to you teenagers." "Death is a possibility." "Start with the cheerleader." "Wait!" "No!" "( Machine whirring )" "Lisa!" "Working." "Give me more." "Man:" "Sir, If we turn up the machine, we might kill her." "The man asked for more." "Okay." "You can't always do what you want." "Find him!" "What?" "I saw this on YouTube." "Archie, turn off the machine." "Stay away from the control panel, young man." "I think I killed the off switch when I hit that guy." "Get Lisa free." "( Machine whirring slows )" "( Alarm wailing )" "That's really..." "Ah!" "Oh, what a shame." "Basketball stars' careers go with a bang." "Sleeping beauty's not even awake to see it." "Guess who woke up." "Ah!" "You okay?" "Sure." "Typical weekend for me, you know." "So, after we save the world and all, you think maybe you and I could, you know..." "Yeah." "Yeah!" "Yeah?" "Yeah!" "We definitely could." "Cool." "So, you wanna..." "Or we could..." "We should..." "Go search the perimeter." "Yes!" "Totally, yes!" "Search the perimeter." "We gotta find a place for everyone to get out of here." "How'd you find us?" "We snuck in and followed everyone else." "Heard about Uncle Billy's mad sciency plan." "Is she..." "She's dead." "( Blast )" "Where is my brother?" "( Alarm blaring )" "Denny!" "Where's dad?" "Dad left." "Four, five, six." "Again." "Hey, guys, we could really use some help out there." "Arch, go with him." "What..." "What am I supposed to do?" "I can't stop what I'm doing." "Here." "Denny:" "Those steel bindings were..." "You tore through them like they were coke cans." "You've got strength now, Archie." "The bad guys get in our path," "Denny, I'm sorry for being such an ass..." "Language, buddy." "Now go." "Lisa, I need you to wake up." "I never got to tell you that..." "I..." "I need you." "I never got to tell you when we were together." "And you picked me up when I was at my lowest, when I was ready to give up." "And I'll never forgive myself for letting you break up with me and all that stupid stuff that happened afterwards." "So can..." "Can you just wake up for me so that I can tell you all that?" "Come on, Lisa." "Come on." "Wake up." "Wake up." "Wake up." "Five." "Four..." "Ugh!" "Back for more?" "Hey, were you gonna ask me on a date back there?" "Oh, well maybe If you play your cards right." "Aah!" "Adam:" "Are you all right?" "Gwen:" "Arch." "I just caught a bullet." "There should be a hole in my hand." "I just caught a bullet." "Watch this." "Gwen, now." "Please." "Please, Lisa, wake up." "I would give anything for you to wake up right now." "Come on." "♪ We still have energy in us come on, Lisa, If I have to give up everything I will." "♪ There's so much energy in us ♪" "♪ there's so much energy in us ♪" "It worked." "Denny." "Denny." "I heard you." "Wherever I was, I heard you." "I love you." "I love you." "Yo, we got to go." "Somebody triggered the self-destruct sequence." "Help me walk." "Archie:" "You're alive!" "Gwen:" "What happened?" "Long story." "Okay, so, Uncle Billy needs his next fix of zero energy but he couldn't get it from us." "But dad went after him, too, so where else could he have..." "Oh." "Yeah." "Oh?" "What do you mean Oh?" "He went where he knew there was spare zero energy." "Back where it all started." "Are you sure you want to do this?" "I mean, you saw those roads, this is now the only way up the Mountain." "We're the only ones who can stop Uncle Billy." "No one else can." "Adam, do you think you can teleport Denny up the Mountain?" "No, no, it doesn't work like that." "I tried to carry Archie earlier, but I can't take other people with me." "Come on." "Okay, this is the fastest way." "Dude, you don't have any gear." "It doesn't matter, Archie's going to carry me." "I'm gonna what?" "But I've never even climbed before." "Why is the Mountain there?" "So it can be conquered, but..." "Dude, you're basically superman right now." "You got this." "And I'll be with you." "I'll coach you every step of the way." "I need your help." "Sometimes the older brother's gotta lean on the younger one." "All right." "Got him?" "Yeah." "He's pretty light." "Of course he is when you're so strong." "You are such a cheerleader." "Right, I'm gonna be all over this cliff face." "So If you need me just scream." "Don't worry, If something goes wrong" "You'll hear the scream." "Oh, you got this." "Up, up and away." "William." "Looking well rested, brother." "You used me." "Like I use everyone." "Life's more fun that way." "Stop what you're doing." "Stop?" "I've only just begun." "I don't think so." "Hey, Denny?" "Yeah?" "We found dad." "All I ever wanted was to be something more." "Something bigger than what I was." "Yet, evolution found you first." "And you didn't even want it." "I didn't choose this life for myself." "William, you had a chance to be normal." "To live without constantly putting your family in danger." "I didn't want a family!" "Sometimes a family finds you whether you want them or not." "And for the record, I think you'd make a very terrible father figure." "Father:" "Boys!" "Dad." "So." "What's it going to be, Uncle Billy?" "You're gonna take some responsibility?" "Or fight?" "Why do I waste my energy on you?" "Look at you." "The zero energy didn't want you either." "And I don't need you anymore." "( Gunshot )" "Denny!" "Archie, do you think you can hack the machine and reverse it?" "Let me go." "I..." "I don't know." "Maybe." "Use that brain and figure it out, man." "I used to protect you from everything." "Bullies, our horrible father." "But now I just want to throw you to the wolves." "Uh, I think I did it." "Throw the switch, Archie." "Dad!" "Throw the switch now!" "Betsy Jessica barnet." "( Crowd applauding )" "Whoo!" "This is going to take forever." "You're just mad you're not walking with them." "I can still fry you, you know." "Hey, fry me and I won't tutor you for summer school." "Man:" "Dennis Nathaniel Burke." "Go Denny!" "Oh, there he is." "Still need to learn to control that." "Yeah." "Ladies and gentlemen," "I present the graduating class of pellian city high school." "( All applauding )" "Archie:" "Okay, so everyone smile." "Say, zero energy." "I mean, cheese." "All:" "Cheese." "( Camera clicks )" "All right." "Thank you." "So, are you excited about going back to work at the shop?" "It's a good job, and it should tie me over until I can make enough money to move." "So..." "Where are you moving?" "I hear Florida's nice." "And until then you're just gonna have to port back and forth to see me." "No, I don't know If I can come back every weekend." "Oh, don't worry, I'll put a fire under you." "Ferguson:" "So we going to that party later, man?" "For sure." "You definitely have to hit me up about that..." "I'm so sorry." "I..." "I'm sorry." "Hey, genius." "You know what, my bad." "Free punch." "Okay?" "Yeah." "Ready." "Ready?" "( Crack )" "Ah!" "Dude!" "Um, don't forget to drink your milk." "So out in Uncle Billy's land," "I mean, the scientists, the buildings, what happened?" "It's just all gone." "It's like they were never there." "They gutted everything." "We think there must have been some plan in case Uncle Billy ever disappeared." "What about your dad?" "He hasn't turned up." "The last blast completely fixed me though." "Doctors said it was a minor miracle." "Denny, there's nothing minor about it." "It was a miracle though." "Yeah." "Lisa, I've been thinking." "We've been through a lot the past few days." "The past few months." "And I've been trying to make sense of it all." "I was unfair to you, when we were together." "I was hurt and I closed off." "But, when I nearly lost you back there it almost killed me." "I want to be a better man." "I want to be there for you." "Always." "I want us to be happy together." "Me, too." "So, why did we break up?" "Because I was waiting for you to figure that out." "And now?" "I think you've made a pretty successful recovery." "Good." "Denny:" "High school's tough." "Sometimes I felt like i was all alone, but really I had help all along." "There was family." "Your family is what you make it, but with the right people supporting you, you can overcome any obstacle, defeat any villain." "Yesterday I woke up and I thought i knew everything there was to know about my life." "But what I learned is this." "We're not just regular people, we're something more." "Lisa:" "Smile."
