#ThinkBrink

- When did it start?
- Four, five minutes ago.
Hey. Hey, hey.
Sam.
Sam!
It's okay.
It's all right.
It's okay. I'm here.
D-D-Did you know about
this Compound V stuff?!
No. No.
How could Mom and Dad do that to us?
They thought they were giving us powers.
Well, I got a lot more than powers.
I got a broken fucking brain!
Okay.
I could've just been
regular.
I got news for you.
Drug or no drug,
you'd still be weird as fuck.
None of that matters.
What matters is I'm your brother
and I love you.
- Okay?
- Okay.
Okay.
Sam! Sam! Stop it!
Okay?! No! Whoa!
Sam! No!
Oh, my God!
Oh, shit!
Stand back! Yeah, stand down!
Get him the fuck on the ground now!
Sam
Call for backup!
- Yeah, please.
- Call for backup!
Sam.
Go to sleep.
Jesus. Fuck, are you
okay? You wouldn't wake up.
- I'm fine. How long was I out?
- I wasn't sure whether to call
- the ambulance or the 911.
- Andre.
- I just
- I'm fine. Andre, I'm fine.
- Really.
- Yeah?
I just pushed too many people.
That's all.
Okay.
Um, can you go get my pills
from over there?
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Thanks.
U-Uh, the blue ones,
on the left. Thanks.
What you did was stupid, Cate.
Could've given yourself
a fucking aneurysm.
Let me rewrite that for you.
"Thank you, Cate,
for having the brilliant idea
to ping my phone
and then save me from
my stone-cold idiocy".
That
that's a good rewrite.
What they did to that poor
janitor was so fucked-up.
Yeah.
- Who were they?
- I don't know.
But I found something.
Holy shit.
- That's Sam.
- Yeah.
He's alive?
Luke was telling the truth?
That first night,
Sam was trying to escape
Marie and I stopped him.
You couldn't have known.
So what are we gonna do?
For now? Nothing. We lay low.
Fuck that. No.
Luke's brother is
being tortured in this
whatever it is a-and
No, Sam needs to get out,
and we need to get him out now.
- How?
- We use our fucking powers!
How did that work out for Luke?
If you charge in there,
you're going to get caught
- and then God knows what and then
- Cate, Cate, Cate!
- We just have to stop and think about it for a second.
- Cate! No!
I could make you stop.
Okay.
I could do it.
So make me stop.
You're not going to.
Not to me.
Please don't do anything stupid.
I can't lose you, too.
Marie?
Marie?
Emma?
Down here.
Food.
So
every time, you eat to get big.
And to get small, you
Yeah.
Listen, I'm really tired.
I've been fighting off ants
all night, so
Oh. Okay.
Good night.
No. No. You know
That's just a tiny bit fucked, isn't it?
Okay, I've been through
this Lifetime movie before,
so I'll just play the trailer.
No, it's not an eating disorder.
It's how I get small.
Yes, my mom knows. Yes, I'm in control.
You're in control?
- I'm fine.
- You were so tiny
you could barely move.
What if I hadn't come home in time?
Okay, Marie, it's not a big deal.
Look, maybe you should take a break.
Talk to someone. Get help.
Okay, and you cut yourself.
Are you gonna take a break?
- Get help?
- That's different.
That's my power. I
Thank you.
Really. But I've been pitied
by half the school today,
- so if you don't mind
- I'm not pitying you.
Okay, Marie, we don't have to do this.
You can just focus on classes
like you said.
We can just be
roommates, okay?
Fine. Okay.
Whatever.
If you want it, come and get it ♪
If you want it, come and get it ♪
So, since this is a memorial gala
and silent auction,
I was thinking a red and blue ribbon.
Patriotic, strong
Okay, red and blue are for
congenital heart defects
- and Noonan syndrome.
- Uh, oh, okay.
Um, just the blue, then.
Alopecia, anal cancer, anti-bullying.
Oh. Okay.
Um, we will find something
that is, uh
Is anyone using purple and orange?
Lupus. Fucking work with me, Janet.
Shake and make that thing go ♪
I'm sorry.
I'm aware you're not five.
It's force of habit.
My daughter loved these.
You have a daughter?
I did.
I wanted to tell you,
after that interview last night
I'm so proud of you, Marie.
Thanks.
I'm not sure what I did.
When that bottle blonde ambushed you
with that shit about your sister.
That was on purpose, by the way.
Who knows if it was even true.
What? Why?
Because it's better ratings
if you cry on camera.
But you didn't let her get to you.
You stayed tough, showed poise.
Thanks.
- And what a bitch.
- Ugh.
Huge bitch.
Mm.
So, listen, I want you to come with me
to this Brink fundraiser tonight.
Could meet some alumni, big donors.
Um
I-I
I-I wouldn't know what to do.
- I've never been at
- Just smile.
Let them drone on about themselves.
Look, no pressure,
but I would love a chance
to show you off.
What do you say?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah. Okay.
Excellent.
Eat up, before they get cold.
You stood up
to a monster.
I'm just the girl who was there.
I know, I know.
She's just a freshman.
But note the tremble to the voice.
Strong and humble.
Harder than it looks.
Girl's a natural.
- A lot of people will tell you media training is a science.
- A natural?
Unsanitary blood powers
that, mark my words,
are a lawsuit waiting to happen?
What if she has hep C?
She-she doesn't have hep C.
That should be you up there.
I-I know. You're right.
Most important moment of your career.
- I'm sorry.
- You know what
was going through my head
when you didn't show?
I was thinking about calling hospitals.
I fucked up.
I slept through my alarm, and, uh,
- I let you down.
- It's not about me.
It's about your future and
you caring about your future.
I can't be the only one
who gives a damn.
No, no, y-you're not. You're right.
You're not. You're not.
The board is voting
on the new rankings tomorrow.
You're coming with me
to the fundraiser tonight,
and you're gonna butter
the ass of every trustee
- with your tongue. Got it?
- Yes, sir.
Dad, um
If I could do something
heroic, like, actually help people,
- that'll be good, right?
- Please welcome Polarity.
Thank you for having
me, Professor Ibarra.
Emma!
Emma, wait up. Can you
just hold on a second?
Look, I'm trying to say I'm sorry.
Your eating disorder
is your truth, and
It's not. It's how I get small.
I had no right to co-opt your story.
Okay? I apologize.
You filming this?
I want everyone to know how sorry I am.
Honey!
- No.
- I have been looking all over for you.
Did you forget? Huh?
Tonight's the gala. Come on.
Wait, this is nicer
than Sophie Green's bat mitzvah invite,
and she had BTS sing "Hava Nagila".
Tickets must have cost a fortune.
How's your eating?
You are on your own now.
You need to be careful about
your calorie intake, okay?
Are you keeping your food log?
Yes, Mom, I am completely balanced.
You look an inch or two
shorter than usual,
so you might need to add 50 calories.
Okay, I'm just I'm just
gonna check your height.
I have a measuring tape here
somewhere
Mom, do not measure me.
Sorry.
Fine.
I saw that skinny bitch's
YouTube on you.
How are you doing?
Had better days.
Well, she was fired from Fatal Seduction
'cause apparently her acting's
for shit, if that helps.
It doesn't.
Wait, she was?
Yes.
I mean, it doesn't. I mean,
honestly, I just want to
just want to curl up and die.
I mean, everyone just
stares at me.
Okay. Honey
listen to me.
When your father left me
for that Barbie-titted child
or when I was fired from
the Vought Shopping Network,
did I curl up and die?
- No.
- No.
Okay? I remade myself.
And that is exactly what we're
gonna do here for you tonight.
Mom, what do you mean?
What do I always say?
Oh. "Pee after sex"?
Cate.
Marie.
I haven't seen you since
I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Luke was so nice to me.
You mean until he went berserk?
But thank God
you single-handedly stopped
that monster's "murderous frenzy".
You saw the interview.
I'm sorry.
- I know Luke wasn't
- No, that's just it.
You didn't know Luke.
How funny he was,
how much he loved his family.
But shades of gray don't sell
like black and white, do they?
I really am sorry.
This can't be real.
This doesn't feel real.
I'm so sorry.
Just doesn't make sense.
He would've never killed himself.
I should've been there.
I could've stopped him.
- Hey.
- No, I could've talked him down.
Fuck!
Sam was really sick, okay?
There's nothing you could've done.
Hey.
Tell me to feel better.
I don't want to feel like this.
Not like this. Please.
I think this is
something you just have
to go through.
I'm sorry.
If she's ahead of me when
tomorrow's rankings come out,
I'm gonna lose my fucking shit.
We're all in the top ten anyway.
What's the big deal?
Hang on. I'm gonna come.
The big deal is that little liar
is stealing all my credit.
Go away!
Jordan, is that you?
Honey?
Uh, just a second!
Who is that?
Fuck off. It's my parents.
I didn't finish.
Jordan!
Okay, okay.
Hey, what the fuck, man?!
Jordan?
Hey, open up!
Jordan, we know you're there. Open up.
Uh, coming!
Jordan!
Your mom and me are here!
Your favorite parents.
Surprise!
Are you surprised?
"Surprised" is a word
that I'd use, yeah.
We wanted to pay our respects
to Brink tonight.
We know what he meant to you.
He thought you were such
an upstanding young man.
Hungry?
Brought you some Vought-A-Burger.
Deep's Calamari Poppers.
Thanks.

- Marie, over here!
Marie, over here!
She's even more perfectly
imperfect in person.
You found a real one.
We love you! We love you!
Your folks must be so proud.
Oh, yeah. My dad's always bragging
to the guys at his pickup games.
- Are they here?
- No.
They're both in Cameroon.
Doctors Without Borders.
To be frank,
after this Golden Boy mess,
I'm not sure how much I'm pledging.
Like you always say, Bonnie,
the focus on white male
heroes is problematic.
If you want more like Marie,
I need your help.
I don't know
if you have representation yet,
- but here's my card.
- Here's my card.
Just scan right here
to get an NFT of my card.
I hope I can meet your parents soon.
For sure.
Me, too.
Ah.
Pretend I don't know your age.
You did great out there.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Lying about my family
felt pretty shitty.
These people don't want
to hear the truth,
and you don't want to say it.
Lucky Jordan doesn't have laser eyes.
Be careful. With Luke gone,
this free-for-all for number one
is gonna get ruthless,
and you have a target on your back.
- Me?
- Mm.
I'm just a freshman.
Keep doing what you're doing,
you could be the first
top-ranked freshman in history.
Earth to Emma.
Sorry, this one's
head is in the clouds 24/7.
Emma,
this is Courtenay Fortney.
Oh, s It's a pleasure to meet you.
She is a senior producer at Vought.
She ran Super in America,
- Citizen Starlight
- Wow.
last night's interview
with your roommate Marie.
Oh, Marie's your roommate?
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah, real bottled lightning there, huh?
- Yeah, she's great.
- Anyway, uh,
Courtenay and I have been DM'ing
the last couple days,
and, um, she wants
to talk to you about
maybe starring in her
next reality TV show.
Wait, really?
Little Cricket. Fun.
- Wholesome. Sunshine.
- Mm.
But no one knew about
the tragic underbelly.
Sorry, "tr-tragic underbelly"?
- It's a rebrand.
- Oh, it's a complete and total rebrand, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- So, Little Cricket's dead. RIP.
Now it's "meet Emma,
teen making her way at God U".
Only now, she's battling her own
sort of internal supervillains.
- Mm.
- From the body image stuff,
the eating disorder
- The eating disorder.
- Yes.
And, um, you know, uh,
society's cruel notion
of female perfection, right?
Yeah, isn't that stuff
all a little personal?
No, no, that's the point. The point.
'Cause we're pulling it all
out of the shadows.
- Yeah.
- And if I'm being honest with you,
- I'm a little sick of Vought's glossy bullshit.
- Uh-huh.
I want fucking emotion.
I want real pain. Okay?
Right now, we're working with
Eaten Alive
or Feeling Small.
Uh, it's a You know,
it's a starting-off point.
- We-we can develop it, honey.
- I'm sorry.
Ex-Excuse me, I have to
I have to use the restroom.
I don't like to ring my own bell,
but I am putting up
the best stats of anyone here.
Forensics, combat.
Mm, but you don't like
to ring your own bell?
Look, I know how it works.
I know that the trustees
decide the rankings.
Look, I'd love your vote.
I like you, Jordan. I just wish
I liked your numbers.
Q Rating, Name Recognition,
Social Trending all down.
Well, Brink always said those
aren't the numbers that matter.
- He's not here anymore.
- Hi.
We're Jordan's folks.
- Paul. My wife Kayla.
- Mm.
Nice to meet you.
Kyle Vogler. You have a fine kid.
A real go-getter.
Don't let him fool you.
He was a holy terror as a boy.
Uh, we're from Rochester.
Where are you from, Kyle?
Oh. Uh, here and there.
Pretty dress.
Thanks.
How do you pee in it?
Want me to run the water or something?
I'm really sorry, Emma.
We've all been there.
No, I mean
for everything.
I don't want to just be roommates.
And I don't pity you.
Like, at all. I wish I was like you.
You're fucking badass. And I
I know this is probably
too little, too late,
but I'd-I'd really like us to be
friends.
Thank you.
I-I don't know if I can
if I can pee like this though.
Just let it happen.
So, when he was in third grade,
there was this girl, Ruby.
- Don't embarrass him.
- No, it was forever ago.
Jordan used to chase Ruby
around the playground,
trying to kiss her.
Try getting away with that
this day and age.
Until one day,
Ruby whacks him clean in
the face with a Noir lunch box.
Knocked his front tooth out.
Now, that's spirit.
I used to say,
"Jordan and Ruby,
they're gonna be husband
and wife one day".
Whatever happened to her, Jordan?
Well, Daddy, we used to try
on prom dresses together
in high school.
So maybe we can be wife and wife.
Sorry about this. He can get dramatic.
Nothing to apologize for.
You got a great kid here.
I'm just gonna let you catch up.
Oh, absolutely.
Um, you're the star of the show.
Of course we want to hear your notes.
Okay, so
like, maybe it doesn't have
to be, like
uh, like, a cautionary tale or a
I mean, like, why can't I be,
like, inspirational?
I mean, not like Queen Maeve but
I mean, like Queen Maeve, you know?
Baby, you're not like
You got to work with what you've got.
But it's k
I mean, it's exploiting me.
I think, in the real world,
everybody uses everyone.
And I think that this could
help you in a million ways.
You know she taught me how to do it?
How to stick my fingers down my throat.
Until I vomited bile.
Go fuck yourself.
Holy shit.
This is fan-fucking-tastic.
You're gonna need a whole 'nother room
for all the People's Choices.
You know, I'm working
on my charitable contributions
for the calendar year.
And you are still chairwoman
- of Vought for Tots, right?
- Mm.
Uh, excuse me. Uh, I
got to hit the bathroom.
- All that champagne.
- Uh, come right back.
Of course. Yes, yes.
Hey.
What-what-what are you doing?
What, I can't buy a ticket?
You-you-you pushed
somebody for the free booze.
Wow.
That's offensive. Okay?
I can't believe that you would
Yes. Yes, I did.
I did that.
If everyone's gonna be worshiping Brink
and shitting all over Luke,
then I at least want to get
some Grey Goose out of it.
Hmm.
Should we talk about
our intercourse situation?
Uh
Whoa, sorry.
That sounded so bad. Um
- Yeah. Yes.
- Yes.
- Just not-not-not now. Later.
- Not now.
Okay. Okay.
- But yeah.
- Okay.
"Intercourse".
Hey.
What's up?
I'm Andre.
Yeah, I know who you are.
You're Cricket, right?
Emma.
I won't puke all over your shoes.
Yeah, I saw that video.
Fuck that girl.
Freshman class is savage this year.
You know, tell you the truth,
I, uh, wanted to talk to you.
You want to talk to me?
We really did come
just to show our support.
Not an easy drive, FYI,
but Dr. Cohen says
we got to meet you halfway.
Paul, not here.
Point is, we're trying.
I'm not a boy, Dad.
Not all the time.
And I'm sorry that you hate that.
But you are.
You're my firstborn son.
The day you were born
was the best day of my life.
I thought we were giving you
a gift with Compound V.
You did give me a gift.
Can we please not talk about this?
For you, maybe.
I'm no bigot.
I get a lot of kids don't have a choice.
But you do.
You can be a boy forever if you want.
Sometimes I think you change
into a girl just to spite me.
Paul, stop.
I'm just
the kid addicted
to their PlayStation.
Who goes to Olive Garden
just for the breadsticks,
who binges Property Brothers.
I've never changed, Dad.
I've always just been me.
What the fuck?
Like, what the fuck?
Like, what the fucking fuck?!
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What are they doing down there?
I mean, fuck, could they do that to us?
Are we in danger? I mean,
should we tell someone?
I don't know what we'd say.
All I got is this
and what Luke told me
before his murder-suicide.
It's not exactly credible.
But what I do know is that
we need to go down there
and we need to find out
where they have Luke's brother.
- Mm.
- But
I can't do it without getting busted.
But maybe
Oh, shit!
I mean, saying it out loud,
I know it sounds like
a bad fucking idea,
so you should forget I said anything.
No, I'm totally, totally in, dude.
'Cause it is, like,
life-or-death dangerous.
And you're a freshman
and you are not even on
the Crimefighting track.
You know what, just
forget I said anything.
Yes.
But, also, no matter what you say
yes.
Okay, so the GPS tag's
connected to my phone.
Remember, just recon.
No tiny action hero shit.
I think this is where
they're keeping him.
But if you see anything
shady, just bail.
What's his room number again?
Northwest Wing 4.
I'll see you in an hour.
Got it!
Get it, got it, good.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm just still stoned!
Sweet Jesus.
Okay, just be careful, okay?
You got it!
Betsy, if you don't want dinner,
keep it up.
Huh?
Are you real?
I want to start
by welcoming you all tonight
under such unfathomable circumstances.
Our beloved Brink's death
- was not just a tragedy.
- Where the hell'd you go?
- I was getting some air. Chill.
- It was one of the darkest days
in Godolkin's history.
For Golden Boy to commit such an evil,
unspeakable act, it just
But in darkness,
stars can truly shine.
Like Marie Moreau,
the Guardian of Godolkin.
That's right.
So let's give Marie and stars like her
- the future she deserves.
- Hear, hear.
A donation to the #ThinkBrink Foundation
will provide long overdue upgrades
to the combat gym
and the recording studio.
So please open your hearts.
Give generously.
Right, Marie?
Any donation would be appreciated,
but, of course, a large donation
would be more appreciated.
But, really,
from the bottom of my heart,
thank you.
What happened to you?
Parents.
Say no more.
Vodka.
The expensive shit you save
for the big swinging dicks.
And two glasses.
Shall we?
Brink didn't just hone my skills.
He sharpened my mind.
He turned me into the curious,
intelligent man I am today.
Rest in peace, broseph.
Brink was like an uncle to my boy.
And thanks to him,
Andre's going all the way.
See, that's what made Brink
the real deal.
He could see the diamond
inside the rock,
the pearl inside the oyster.
Emma, why the fuck
are you still down there?
- Shit.
- He knew he belonged in the Tower.
And now
Emma, I'm starting
to get a little worried,
so if you could please pick up
the phone and call me back
to one of the real ones.
Yo. Where do you think you're going?
I'm going to the bathroom.
- Did I do something to piss you off?
- No.
Then what? Because all
you're doing is fucking up.
- I have a different kid all of a sudden.
- I'm trying to be a hero, Dad.
What are you talking about?
I didn't sleep through my interview.
There's some fucked-up shit going on,
and that-that's why Luke killed Brink.
Because there's-there's
this underground hospital
where they keep everybody and
Who else have you told?
- Nobody.
- Don't say
another fucking word about this.
You hear me?
You're gonna get yourself killed.
Y You know?
Drop it.
- Hey! Polarity!
- Hey!
Kevin.
There you are.
Me and the boy want to chop it up.
Oh.
Whoa.
A tiny girl is such
an interesting choice.
Why would I do that? What does it mean?
Uh, I don't understand the question.
Well, you're not real.
You're a manifestation.
But why would I imagine you?
No, I'm r I'm real!
- Prove it.
- How?
What's the name of
the stuffed animal I loved more
than anything when I was little?
I have no idea.
- What's the name?!
- Dipdop!
How 'bout Dip uh, Dipdop?
How did I break my arm in second grade?
- Fuck, man, I don't know.
- Tell me!
On a bike!
Who-who the f-fuck knows, man?
What's the name
of my all-time favorite movie?
Well, you're a white guy, so
Uh, Godfather, Star Wars or Shawshank.
Waterworld.
Waterworld?
Jesus.
Wait.
You're real.
For real.
Holy shit.
You do know this is
the dumbest test ever, right?
Wha-What are you
what are you doing here?
You could get in big trouble.
Sort of scouting ahead.
For what?
For you.
To get you out of here.
Oh.
Uh
No, I don't I don't think so.
No?
You are literally almost in a dungeon.
Oh, it's not so bad.
Uh
I have a beanbag.
Okay, a beanbag
is not a compelling reason
- to stay captive, Sam.
- I've tried.
I've tried to get out before,
but people get hurt.
I get mixed-up.
I just I started some new meds.
I think it's better if I stay here.
But thanks for coming by.
Your brother sent me!
Luke?
He did?
Yes.
He wants to get you out, so
I mean, I guess I could give you
the codes to all the security doors.
They don't think I pay attention.
But I do.
You know the fucking codes?
I just knew you'd be
great at this, Marie.
Bet you scored a million in pledges.
You're a fucking superstar.
You saved my ass.
Your ass needed saving?
A dean's whole job is raising money.
After Golden Boy, the donations
were going down the toilet.
And so was I.
But then one look at that smile of yours
and their wallets just
cracked right open.
Good.
I'm glad I could be useful to you.
Oh. So useful.
You're fantastic. Excuse me.

Because I killed them.

Bullshit.
I didn't know I had powers

I couldn't control the blood,

We were camping.
I was nine.
My parents were setting up the tent.
My little brother kept
kicking at my shins,
so I grabbed him by the arm
and I told him to go away
and never come back.
So he did.
He just walked right into the woods.
That was the first time
my powers showed up.
I didn't know.
Jesus.
There was a search party.
Dogs. You know?
It went on for weeks.
But
nothing.
My mom never touched me again.
Neither did my dad.
I had no idea.
I'm so sorry.
It is not your fault.
Your parents shot you up
with a dangerous drug
when you were a baby
to make a buck off you.
No, my parents weren't like that.
Yes, they were.
They did this. You didn't.
Don't spend a fucking minute

I killed my grandpa with my powers.

And drinking your own pee.

the tray when you're done and
then I'll see you whenever?
Hope so.
Me, too.

this Compound V stuff?!
No. No.
How could Mom and Dad do that to us?

I got a broken fucking brain!
Okay.
I could've just been

Sam was trying to escape

For now? Nothing. We lay low.
Fuck that. No.
Luke's brother is
being tortured in this

No, it's not an eating disorder.
It's how I get small.
Yes, my mom knows. Yes, I'm in control.
You're in control?
- I'm fine.
- You were so tiny
you could barely move.
What if I hadn't come home in time?
Okay, Marie, it's not a big deal.

I'm so proud of you, Marie.
Thanks.
I'm not sure what I did.
When that bottle blonde ambushed you
with that shit about your sister.
That was on purpose, by the way.
Who knows if it was even true.
What? Why?
Because it's better ratings
if you cry on camera.
But you didn't let her get to you.
You stayed tough, showed poise.
Thanks.
- And what a bitch.
- Ugh.
Huge bitch.
Mm.
So, listen, I want you to come with me
to this Brink fundraiser tonight.
Could meet some alumni, big donors.
Um
I-I
I-I wouldn't know what to do.
- I've never been at
- Just smile.
Let them drone on about themselves.
Look, no pressure,
but I would love a chance
to show you off.
What do you say?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah. Okay.
Excellent.
Eat up, before they get cold.
You stood up
to a monster.
I'm just the girl who was there.
I know, I know.
She's just a freshman.
But note the tremble to the voice.
Strong and humble.
Harder than it looks.
Girl's a natural.
- A lot of people will tell you media training is a science.
- A natural?
Unsanitary blood powers

are a lawsuit waiting to happen?
What if she has hep C?
She-she doesn't have hep C.
That should be you up there.
I-I know. You're right.
Most important moment of your career.
- I'm sorry.
- You know what
was going through my head
when you didn't show?
I was thinking about calling hospitals.
I fucked up.
I slept through my alarm, and, uh,
- I let you down.
- It's not about me.
It's about your future and
you caring about your future.
I can't be the only one
who gives a damn.
No, no, y-you're not. You're right.
You're not. You're not.
The board is voting
on the new rankings tomorrow.
You're coming with me
to the fundraiser tonight,
and you're gonna butter
the ass of every trustee
- with your tongue. Got it?
- Yes, sir.
Dad, um
If I could do something
heroic, like, actually help people,
- that'll be good, right?
- Please welcome Polarity.
Thank you for having
me, Professor Ibarra.
Emma!
Emma, wait up. Can you
just hold on a second?
Look, I'm trying to say I'm sorry.
Your eating disorder
is your truth, and
It's not. It's how I get small.
I had no right to co-opt your story.
Okay? I apologize.
You filming this?
I want everyone to know how sorry I am.
Honey!
- No.
- I have been looking all over for you.
Did you forget? Huh?
Tonight's the gala. Come on.
Wait, this is nicer
than Sophie Green's bat mitzvah invite,
and she had BTS sing "Hava Nagila".
Tickets must have cost a fortune.
How's your eating?
You are on your own now.
You need to be careful about
your calorie intake, okay?
Are you keeping your food log?
Yes, Mom, I am completely balanced.
You look an inch or two
shorter than usual,
so you might need to add 50 calories.
Okay, I'm just I'm just
gonna check your height.
I have a measuring tape here
somewhere
Mom, do not measure me.
Sorry.
Fine.
I saw that skinny bitch's
YouTube on you.
How are you doing?
Had better days.
Well, she was fired from Fatal Seduction
'cause apparently her acting's
for shit, if that helps.
It doesn't.
Wait, she was?
Yes.
I mean, it doesn't. I mean,
honestly, I just want to
just want to curl up and die.
I mean, everyone just
stares at me.
Okay. Honey
listen to me.
When your father left me
for that Barbie-titted child
or when I was fired from
the Vought Shopping Network,
did I curl up and die?
- No.
- No.
Okay? I remade myself.
And that is exactly what we're
gonna do here for you tonight.
Mom, what do you mean?
What do I always say?
Oh. "Pee after sex"?
Cate.
Marie.
I haven't seen you since
I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Luke was so nice to me.
You mean until he went berserk?
But thank God
you single-handedly stopped
that monster's "murderous frenzy".
You saw the interview.
I'm sorry.
- I know Luke wasn't
- No, that's just it.
You didn't know Luke.
How funny he was,
how much he loved his family.
But shades of gray don't sell
like black and white, do they?
I really am sorry.
This can't be real.
This doesn't feel real.
I'm so sorry.
Just doesn't make sense.
He would've never killed himself.
I should've been there.
I could've stopped him.
- Hey.
- No, I could've talked him down.
Fuck!
Sam was really sick, okay?
There's nothing you could've done.
Hey.
Tell me to feel better.
I don't want to feel like this.
Not like this. Please.
I think this is
something you just have
to go through.
I'm sorry.
If she's ahead of me when
tomorrow's rankings come out,
I'm gonna lose my fucking shit.
We're all in the top ten anyway.
What's the big deal?
Hang on. I'm gonna come.
The big deal is that little liar
is stealing all my credit.
Go away!
Jordan, is that you?
Honey?
Uh, just a second!
Who is that?
Fuck off. It's my parents.
I didn't finish.
Jordan!
Okay, okay.
Hey, what the fuck, man?!
Jordan?
Hey, open up!
Jordan, we know you're there. Open up.
Uh, coming!
Jordan!
Your mom and me are here!
Your favorite parents.
Surprise!
Are you surprised?
"Surprised" is a word
that I'd use, yeah.
We wanted to pay our respects
to Brink tonight.
We know what he meant to you.
He thought you were such

Hungry?
Brought you some Vought-A-Burger.

Yeah, isn't that stuff

No, no, that's the point. The point.

- Yeah.
- And if I'm being honest with you,

I want real pain. Okay?

So, when he was in third grade,
there was this girl, Ruby.
- Don't embarrass him.
- No, it was forever ago.
Jordan used to chase Ruby
around the playground,
trying to kiss her.
Try getting away with that
this day and age.
Until one day,
Ruby whacks him clean in
the face with a Noir lunch box.
Knocked his front tooth out.
Now, that's spirit.
I used to say,
"Jordan and Ruby,
they're gonna be husband
and wife one day".
Whatever happened to her, Jordan?
Well, Daddy, we used to try
on prom dresses together
in high school.
So maybe we can be wife and wife.
Sorry about this. He can get dramatic.
Nothing to apologize for.
You got a great kid here.
I'm just gonna let you catch up.
Oh, absolutely.
Um, you're the star of the show.
Of course we want to hear your notes.

I, uh, wanted to talk to you.
You want to talk to me?
We really did come
just to show our support.
Not an easy drive, FYI,
but Dr. Cohen says
we got to meet you halfway.
Paul, not here.
Point is, we're trying.
I'm not a boy, Dad.
Not all the time.
And I'm sorry that you hate that.
But you are.
You're my firstborn son.
The day you were born
was the best day of my life.
I thought we were giving you
a gift with Compound V.
You did give me a gift.
Can we please not talk about this?
For you, maybe.
I'm no bigot.
I get a lot of kids don't have a choice.
But you do.
You can be a boy forever if you want.
Sometimes I think you change
into a girl just to spite me.

just for the breadsticks,
who binges Property Brothers.
I've never changed, Dad.
I've always just been me.
What the fuck?
Like, what the fuck?
Like, what the fucking fuck?!
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What are they doing down there?
I mean, fuck, could they do that to us?
Are we in danger? I mean,
should we tell someone?
I don't know what we'd say.
All I got is this
and what Luke told me
before his murder-suicide.
It's not exactly credible.
But what I do know is that
we need to go down there
and we need to find out
where they have Luke's brother.
- Mm.
- But
I can't do it without getting busted.
But maybe
Oh, shit!
I mean, saying it out loud,
I know it sounds like
a bad fucking idea,
so you should forget I said anything.
No, I'm totally, totally in, dude.
'Cause it is, like,
life-or-death dangerous.

and you are not even on

You know what, just
forget I said anything.
Yes.
But, also, no matter what you say
yes.
Okay, so the GPS tag's
connected to my phone.
Remember, just recon.

they're keeping him.

shady, just bail.
What's his room number again?
Northwest Wing 4.
I'll see you in an hour.
Got it!

Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm just still stoned!

- was not just a tragedy.
- Where the hell'd you go?
- I was getting some air. Chill.

unspeakable act, it just

will provide long overdue upgrades
to the combat gym
and the recording studio.
So please open your hearts.
Give generously.
Right, Marie?
Any donation would be appreciated,
but, of course, a large donation
would be more appreciated.
But, really,
from the bottom of my heart,
thank you.
What happened to you?
Parents.
Say no more.
Vodka.
The expensive shit you save
for the big swinging dicks.
And two glasses.
Shall we?
Brink didn't just hone my skills.
He sharpened my mind.
He turned me into the curious,
intelligent man I am today.
Rest in peace, broseph.
Brink was like an uncle to my boy.
And thanks to him,
Andre's going all the way.
See, that's what made Brink
the real deal.
He could see the diamond
inside the rock,
the pearl inside the oyster.
Emma, why the fuck
are you still down there?
- Shit.
- He knew he belonged in the Tower.
And now
Emma, I'm starting
to get a little worried,
so if you could please pick up
the phone and call me back
to one of the real ones.
Yo. Where do you think you're going?
I'm going to the bathroom.
- Did I do something to piss you off?
- No.
Then what? Because all
you're doing is fucking up.
- I have a different kid all of a sudden.
- I'm trying to be a hero, Dad.
What are you talking about?
I didn't sleep through my interview.
There's some fucked-up shit going on,
and that-that's why Luke killed Brink.
Because there's-there's
this underground hospital
where they keep everybody and
Who else have you told?
- Nobody.
- Don't say
another fucking word about this.
You hear me?
You're gonna get yourself killed.
Y You know?
Drop it.
- Hey! Polarity!
- Hey!
Kevin.
There you are.
Me and the boy want to chop it up.
Oh.
Whoa.
A tiny girl is such
an interesting choice.
Why would I do that? What does it mean?
Uh, I don't understand the question.
Well, you're not real.
You're a manifestation.
But why would I imagine you?
No, I'm r I'm real!
- Prove it.
- How?
What's the name of
the stuffed animal I loved more
than anything when I was little?
I have no idea.
- What's the name?!
- Dipdop!
How 'bout Dip uh, Dipdop?
How did I break my arm in second grade?
- Fuck, man, I don't know.
- Tell me!
On a bike!
Who-who the f-fuck knows, man?
What's the name
of my all-time favorite movie?
Well, you're a white guy, so
Uh, Godfather, Star Wars or Shawshank.
Waterworld.
Waterworld?
Jesus.
Wait.
You're real.
For real.
Holy shit.
You do know this is
the dumbest test ever, right?
Wha-What are you
what are you doing here?
You could get in big trouble.
Sort of scouting ahead.
For what?
For you.
To get you out of here.
Oh.
Uh
No, I don't I don't think so.
No?
You are literally almost in a dungeon.
Oh, it's not so bad.
Uh
I have a beanbag.
Okay, a beanbag
is not a compelling reason
- to stay captive, Sam.
- I've tried.
I've tried to get out before,
but people get hurt.
I get mixed-up.
I just I started some new meds.
I think it's better if I stay here.
But thanks for coming by.
Your brother sent me!
Luke?
He did?
Yes.
He wants to get you out, so
I mean, I guess I could give you
the codes to all the security doors.
They don't think I pay attention.
But I do.
You know the fucking codes?
I just knew you'd be
great at this, Marie.
Bet you scored a million in pledges.
You're a fucking superstar.
You saved my ass.
Your ass needed saving?
A dean's whole job is raising money.
After Golden Boy, the donations
were going down the toilet.
And so was I.
But then one look at that smile of yours
and their wallets just
cracked right open.
Good.
I'm glad I could be useful to you.
Oh. So useful.
You're fantastic. Excuse me.

Brownnoser, one-upper.
Mommy and Daddy's perfect little hero.
Yeah, well, that's definitely not me,
because my parents are dead.
Because I killed them.
You happy?
Bullshit.
I didn't know I had powers
until my first period.
I couldn't control the blood,
and it sliced through my mom's body.
Dad came in. Same deal.
- Fuck.
- Yeah.
I'm the last person
who thinks they're a hero.
I fucking hate myself half the time.

We were camping.
I was nine.
My parents were setting up the tent.
My little brother kept
kicking at my shins,
so I grabbed him by the arm
and I told him to go away
and never come back.
So he did.
He just walked right into the woods.
That was the first time
my powers showed up.
I didn't know.
Jesus.
There was a search party.
Dogs. You know?
It went on for weeks.
But
nothing.
My mom never touched me again.
Neither did my dad.
I had no idea.
I'm so sorry.
It is not your fault.
Your parents shot you up
with a dangerous drug
when you were a baby
to make a buck off you.
No, my parents weren't like that.
Yes, they were.
They did this. You didn't.
Don't spend a fucking minute
crying over them.
I killed my grandpa with my powers.

No, you didn't.

I-It's about being alone
at the end of the world
and finding your humanity.
And drinking your own pee.
So, I guess they'll come get
the tray when you're done and
then I'll see you whenever?
Hope so.
Me, too.
Oh, sorry.
Um
You want some?
Oh, can't. If I eat, I
Like Alice in Wonderland.
Exactly. Yeah.
Except with a lot more puking.
Sorry, I don't That's gross.
You're the furthest thing from gross.
You're, uh
You're pretty.
And brave. I mean
You're so fucking brave.
Thanks.
I'm not at all, though.
You've gotten closer to
rescuing me than Luke ever did.
The pretty thing,
you were probably born with.
Or maybe cosmetic surgery.
Oh, no.

Hey! Guys, uh
I fucked up.
What did you do?
It's about her roommate.

- Who the fuck is Emma?
I-Is she okay?
I think she's stuck.
Stuck?

Andre.

Fuck.
