Raising Dion (2019) s02e08 Episode Script

1 Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way down To the bottom of the river Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way down A long way down If you get sleep or if you get none His hair's on fire And his heart is burning So go to the river Where the water runs Wash him deep Where the tides are turning And if you fall And if you fall Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way down To the bottom of the river The wolves will chase you By the pale moonlight Drunk and driven by a devil's hunger Drive your son like a railroad spike Into the water, let it pull him under Don't you lift him Let him drown alive The good Lord speaks Like a rolling thunder Let that fever make the water rise Let the river run dry And I said hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way down To the bottom of the river Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way down A long way down Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it's a long way A long, long, long way Dion? You ready? It's showtime.
A long way down I got you a surprise.
Auntie Kat told me not to let you eat it before the show, but I won't tell her if you won't.
You okay? You nervous? - Yeah.
- Yeah, that's all right.
It's a big night.
But you're gonna do great.
Is there anything I can do? I have to do this by myself.
Okay, I get it.
I know you, and you can do anything you put your mind to.
Hey, Di, look at me.
I know there's a lot going on right now, but just remember, you're doing this for your friends, so think about them, a-and you won't get scared.
Okay.
And I'll be right out there cheering for you.
Can I get a hug before I go? Or are you too cool to hug your own mom? I get it, someone might see you.
But when we get home, I'm giving you a big one, okay? Hey, buddy, it's gonna be okay.
No, it's not! Brayden's outside.
Brayden? I thought he was gone.
He's back.
He's right outside and he says he's gonna destroy this place.
- Why would he? - The Crooked Man took his dad.
His mom died when he was little, and he's mad that I have friends.
- Let's talk to him.
- You can't go, he'll hurt you! Bug, I don't have much time left.
But I'm gonna go out of this world fighting for you.
So where is he? We have to get Kwame and tell him we have to cancel the show and get these kids to safety.
- No! - Excuse me? If anyone leaves this building, he's gonna hurt them.
It's me he wants.
And I know I can take him.
- Then let's go.
- You can't Hey, if you're steppin' on the bad side, I'm coming with you.
And besides, you and me, we have a great track record on that football field, don't we? Okay, let's do it.
Oh, wait here.
There's something I gotta do first.
Hold his arm.
I'm gonna need a line for the benzos in five, four, three, two, one.
What the hell? He's going into arrest! No, I'm not gonna be the one who kills this guy.
I need an epi, now! Here, hold this.
- Come on.
- Yes, sir.
- This is incredible.
- He's gonna bottom out.
Look at this.
Competing strands of Powered DNA are fighting for dominance inside Pat's body.
This right here, this is telekinesis.
I think this one For God's sake, David, look at his vitals.
Whatever this is, it's killing him.
Irrelevant.
Irrelevant? Let me revise that.
If he dies, we can harvest the DNA from him, put every one of his organs under a microscope, and figure out how to make superpowers work on command.
Are you that big of a bastard? We're witnessing a scientific breakthrough.
We're witnessing someone dying.
Someone who might hold the key to saving my sister.
You're not gonna come up with some miracle cure in the next few hours.
This man is literally changing at the cellular level.
Then we need to stop him.
Reverse or neutralize the P-DNA.
There's no guarantee that's not gonna kill him faster.
He's on a journey.
We have to see where he goes.
You are enjoying this.
I'm accepting his gift.
There's no way we could've gotten approval for this, but he did it to himself.
- Now we can observe, gather information.
- Monetize it for personal wealth.
- Oh God, he's coding.
- Oxygen, now! All brain and cellular activity has stopped.
They need defib.
Why aren't they shocking him? Not a great idea to shock a guy who used to turn into an electrical storm.
You I am done with you.
- Back up, try again.
- Stand back, Doc.
Somebody paste me.
Clear! Let's shock him again.
Powering up.
- It's over.
He's gone.
Call it.
- What are you doing? CPR failed, epi failed, defib failed.
He's gone.
You shock him again, you might be destroying my samples.
Your samples? We need him alive.
He's dead.
Kat, Kat, Kat, Kat, it's no use.
- He's gone.
- No.
I'm sorry.
I want samples taken and analyzed while he's still warm.
Hey.
Hey.
Have you seen Mr.
Gary? I sent him his ticket, but I'm not sure that he got it.
Wait, where's your costume? That's what I came to tell you.
I'm not doing the revue.
Seriously? Five minutes before the show? - Brayden's outside.
- What? He says he's gonna hurt everybody.
I'll go get Jonathan.
- The TOJ will fight together.
- No! He's got help this time.
It's too dangerous out there for anyone who doesn't have powers.
Your job is to say here and make sure no one leaves this theater.
How? Entertain them.
The show must go on.
That's right.
The show must go on, and it has to be great so no one leaves.
I got this.
Of course you do.
Now, I'm gonna try real hard to be back in time to hear you sing, but if I'm not, you knock 'em dead.
- And if I don't make it back at all - Don't say that.
If I don't make it back at all, you've got to go on with your life, and be awesome.
All right? Places, everyone, for the opening number! Come on! - What's happening? - I'll fill you in later.
Come here.
Three become one.
We're stronger together.
Triangle of Justice.
Justice, justice, justice.
Where are you, Nicole? And now, sit back and enjoy McKoy on Broadway.
Where's Dion? He's gonna miss his solo.
He-He's outside having a superfight with Brayden.
He wants us to keep the audience inside so they don't get murdered.
Got it? - Got it, but who's gonna do Dion's solo? - I don't know.
Why is Dion not on stage? - He's not here.
What should we do? - Well, somebody's gotta on in his place.
- Copy that.
- Uh, not you.
Sh, sh.

Yeah, he controls the monsters with his mind now.
Hello, Dion.
I see you're not alone.
Neither am I.
Okay, we need a plan to fight these things.
Maybe we don't need to fight them at all.
Brayden, I know you can hear me in your mind.
You don't have to do this.
I thought we were friends.
You and Brayden were never friends.
Your friends are inside that building.
And I'm going to take them all.
So that didn't work.
Mom.
Mom, get ready.
They're coming! - [electric zapping[ - Dion, go! Come on, we have to lead them away from the school.
You want this? Mom, they're heading for the school! Tevin! I am the Mind Mover! There's too many of them! Where did that come from? What just happened? What is that? - Janelle? - Dude, that was awesome! That was incredible.
So what's the plan here? We need to remember those are innocent people.
They're infected just like I am.
And that kid Brayden's mind controlling them.
We need to figure out how to stop them without hurting them.
I can grab Brayden, and teleport him far away so he can't control them anymore.
Have you ever teleported with someone else before? - No.
- How do you know you can do it? - Because you said I can do anything.
- Of course you can, Bug.
- I just want to keep you safe.
- No one's safe! Incoming.
Come on, Kat, it's time to go.
- He's alive.
- God.
Help me stabilize him.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
- What? H-H-How? - I'm okay.
This isn't possible.
I feel fine.
Actually, I feel great.
Better than great.
But y-you You died.
I did? Well, I didn't realize.
Oh.
That's new.
Pat, you need to stand down.
Okay? We need to figure out what happened to you.
Let me examine you.
We don't know what you injected and what it's doing to your body.
Ah, well, I know I know one thing.
I know Suzanne wanted to lock me away for the rest of my life.
And I know that right now, I don't have to listen to anything either one of you says.
Not now, and not, uh, ever again.
Hey, back up.
Suzanne, could you tell these jokers to move? You know, I-I came here to help you.
I did I didn't have to come.
I was fine where I was.
I was trying to be a good person and you wouldn't You wouldn't let me do that.
You wanted to put me in a cage.
I'm pretty sure I have telekinesis now.
Pat, don't.
I can't let you pass.
"You shall not pass!" Didn't work out so well for Gandalf either.
Get them away! Dion, go! Teleport! Where? I I can't see Brayden! Are you okay? Your friends are powerful.
But not all of your friends have powers.
Mom! Leave her alone! Dion, wait! Dion! Tevin! I can read your thoughts.
- I know where you're going.
- Mom! No.
Let go of me.
Get off me! This time, I win.
That's not Brayden's voice.
No.
It's another old friend.
The Crooked Man.
But Brayden Brayden's still in there.
I know he is.
No, hey.
Hey, hey, Brayden! Hey, Brayden, listen to me.
Brayden, y-you're my son's friend.
I don't have friends.
I don't have anyone.
I'm so sorry.
The Crooked Man took Dion's dad too.
But to lose your mom and your dad, that must hurt so much.
You don't know how I feel.
You're right.
But I think I know how your mother felt.
That she loved you so much.
And that she wanted to keep you safe, and watch you grow up to be whatever you wanted to be.
She lies.
Don't listen.
I think she always hoped to be there to catch you when you fell.
And she wanted to tell you how amazing you were when you didn't remember, because, sometimes, life is hard.
She left you, without knowing what would happen to you without her.
But I'm sure she saw a future for you where you were creative, and happy, and curious, and-and you had friends.
And purpose.
And in that future, you would know that you were always, always loved.
And that she loved you.
It's too late.
I'm bad now.
No.
It's not too late.
You may have done bad things, but that's not who you are.
What you do now, that shows us who you are.
No! Oh, it's okay, sweetie.
The Crooked Energy.
We gotta stop it! It went into the sinkhole.
It's making more flowers to infect everyone.
The flowers cause the infection.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Suzanne said that the serum would make the infection destroy itself.
- If I can inject it into the sinkhole - Give it to me.
I'll teleport down there.
- I can't let you do that.
- You have to trust me.
- I'm the Mind Mover, I - Move things with your mind.
But I'm your mother.
It's underground.
You can't get down there, but I can.
You have to trust me.
Please.
Stop.
Dude, are you seriously threatening me with that thing? I've got metal manipulation in here.
I can turn that gun into a bracelet before you can pull the trigger.
I want to ask a favor.
Oh, I didn't realize we were on favor-asking terms.
Guys like us, we need to stick together.
Let me help you catalog and master your powers.
Hm.
My very own Moira MacTaggert.
I don't know what that means.
Just, uh, keep going, I'm listening.
I want to monitor and track how the DNA transfer worked inside your body.
To chronicle the science.
And to try to replicate it so you can sell it to regular folks? We could make a fortune.
And why do I need money, with all this power? Maybe someday you'll want to build yourself an army.
Hmm.
Hello, old friend.
It's time.
I have a few new tricks to show you.
What the hell? Oh, I'll introduce you later.
I tried to be good.
I really did, but, you know what? It's hard.
I'm ready when you are.
The roots.
No! Dion! No! Get off me! Dion! Dion.
Dion.
Where's Dion? Dion! - Mom! - Oh my God.
Oh! - Are Are you better? - Yes.
- I thought I lost you.
- I thought I lost you.
I love you.
Okay, okay, that's enough! Janelle? Janelle! Mom? Oh my.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry too, baby.
Come here.
Oh, I'm so glad you're safe.
So, about the village, I was I should go talk to Brayden.
He just went through a lot.
Mr.
Gary! Hey, Dion.
- What's going on here, man? - Well, we just defeated some monsters.
And you were a monster, but it seems like you're okay now.
What? Is Esperanza okay? Esperanza.
The show! Time to go on.
Any sign of Dion? No.
- Are you okay? - No.
Time to take it home, Effie.
You go and make 'em forget about Jennifer Hudson.
Let's make 'em forget about Jennifer Holliday! Oh, I'm sorry.
Th-That was too far.
I went too far.
If it's okay with you, I'm just gonna show them my heart.
Well, your heart better reach the back row.
If I don't make it back at all, you've got to go on with your life, and be awesome.
And I am telling you I'm not going You're the best friend I'll ever know There's no way I can ever go No, no, there's no way No, no, no, no way I'm living without you I'm not living without you I don't wanna be free I'm staying, I'm staying And you, and you You're gonna love me Ooh You're gonna love me And I am telling you I'm not going Even though The rough times are showing There's just no way, there's no way We're part of the same place We're part of the same time We both share the same blood We both have the same mind And time and time We've had so much to share No, no, no No, no, no!

You're gonna love it.
Uh, yup, I'll call you when it's ready.
Hi.
Uh-huh.
Bye.
Oh, you are a lifesaver.
No, life-saving is your department.
How's Suzanne? A little banged up, but she'll be all right.
- Mad as hell, though.
- "Mad" is not gonna stop Pat.
No.
Science is.
We need to figure out how to counteract the powers he gave himself.
And you think there's a "command+Z" button? With gene therapy, yeah, I think there might be.
Not to mention we haven't seen the last of these supernatural diseases, as long as that dark energy is out there.
And you're gonna do all of that from my living room? Actually, Suzanne offered to set me up with my own lab at BIONA.
Girl, I think I have finally found my calling.
My amazing sister.
