Invincible (2021) s03e08 Episode Script

1
[Kregg] Your father will be executed.
You will assume his mission
and prepare the planet for our rule.
[Anissa] Killing you is not my task.
Soon, another will come.
[Movincihawk] This is what you call
a prison on your world? Pathetic.
[Omnivincible] I always hated you.
[screams, grunts]
[Gogglesible] You're out
of shit to explode.
- I've got one thing left.
- And what's that?
My entire goddamn skeleton,
dickhead.
[yells]
[grunts]
[Cecil] Darkwing is missing
and presumed dead.
- [Mark] I knew it was you.
- Kill him.
- You've given me no choice.
- [Oliver] No.
[Conquest] You were given orders.
And yet, I find this planet unprepared
for the arrival of our Viltrum Empire.
[dramatic music plays]
[both shouting]
[people screaming]
[car alarm sounding]
[both grunt]
[tense music playing]
[laughs]
[Mark straining]
[distant screaming]
[Conquest] Right about now,
Anissa would be telling you
how the Viltrum Empire
would turn this wretched planet
into a utopia.
How you would be stupid to resist.
I'll tell you no such thing.
The truth is,
I want you to resist.
I'm not here to save you.
I'm not here to spread the greatness
of the Viltrum Empire.
I'm here because I enjoy this.
See, to me, there is no greater
pleasure than feeling the warmth
of my fists drenched in blood.
Okay.
That's a start.
[grunts]
[metal creaking]
[grunts]
- Yes. This.
- [choking]
I want more!
[shouts]
- Very good.
- That was just a warm-up.
[dramatic music playing]
[groaning]
[Mark shouts]
[Conquest coughs]
[panting]
[sinister music playing]
Huh?
[dramatic music playing]
[both grunting]
[Mark] You still sure
this is gonna go your way?
Damn near certain.
[shouts]
[Mark grunts]
[Debbie] Mark.
[cries softly]
That's not too far away. I can help.
- Oliver.
- [groans]
[somber music playing]
Keep moving and keep your distance.
Don't let him grab you.
And if it's too dangerous,
you get out of there!
Understand?!
[cries]
[door closes]
Your boys are strong, Deb.
They have been in these situations
before and made it through.
Not like this, Paul.
It was never like this.
[tense music playing]
[straining]
[distant siren wails]
[grunts]
[exhales] Shit.
[low rumble]
[dramatic music playing]
[grunts]
[Oliver] Mark!
[Conquest shouts]
Ugh, come on.
[gasps]
[Conquest grunts]
[horn honks]
[groans]
Stop.
Listen to me. [panting]
- Just listen.
- [grunts]
[Conquest] Are you crazy?
- [choking]
- [laughs]
You think I'm gonna give you
a chance to surrender?
I am having the time of my life here.
[sinister music playing]
Hey. Hey.
Don't give up.
You can do this.
You've still got a chance.
You just need
[people screaming]
the right motivation.
[grunts]
[laughs]
- [chokes]
- When I am done with you,
I am going to kill everyone else.
[exciting music playing]
[exhales]
Big-ass beatdown coming up!
- [grunts]
- [shouts]
And you are?
I prefer to know who I'm dismembering.
[grunts]
[grunts]
[tense music playing]
- [grunts]
- Oliver, get out of here!
[Oliver] We can beat this guy.
I know it.
[panting]
Go!
[Conquest] Idiot.
You need all the help you can get.
The time I spent killing him
might have given you a moment
to gather your thoughts.
Maybe even outwit me.
Where is your Viltrumite heart?
Until I see it beating in my hand,
I won't believe you have one.
Show me your power.
Show me your rage!
[groans]
Almost there.
[bones crunching]
[sinister music playing]
- [shouting]
- [grunting]
[panting]
[grunts]
Huh?
[laughs]
[grunts]
If that's all you got
[spits]
this is just not gonna end well
for you.
[Cecil] Now?
This has to happen now of all times?
You got to be fucking kidding me.
I've got probably the most powerful
superhuman I've ever seen
beating the living shit
out of what's definitely
the strongest superhero on this planet.
For God's sake, just give
me some good news, Sinclair.
I, uh
Uh, we're at least two weeks away
from even a trial run.
You have no idea
how dense their muscle tissue is.
It's like cutting through rock.
They're going to be godlike
when we're done,
- but we just can't
- [Cecil] Damn it!
[new anchor over TV]
This is a breaking news report.
Footage is coming in
of another unknown attacker
fighting with Invincible along
the east coast of the country.
We don't know many details,
but authorities are asking
the entire nation to be on guard
and stay indoors if possible.
Stay tuned to this station
for more updates as we get them.
Again? We just went
through all this bullshit.
When will these people give up?
- Adam. We're in a hospital.
- Paid for by my tax dollars.
- Dad?
- Samantha? Oh, my God.
Adam, I-I think she's waking up.
I'll get the nurse.
Nurse. Nurse!
[groans] Where am I?
[exhales] You're safe, dear.
[exhales]
[gasps] Where's Mark?
What happened?
- How long have I been out?
- Almost a week.
Samantha, honey, you don't have
to worry. This is a special place.
They're keeping your identity secret.
[Eve] What is that?
Oh, my God. Mark.
Mark? You mean wait.
That's your boyfriend?
I have to help him.
[dramatic music playing]
- Samantha, don't.
- Atom Eve, please calm down.
You can't even walk yet.
Do I look like I need to walk?!
[shouting]
- So far, I've been playing with you.
- [crying out]
Getting to know a new toy.
[exciting music playing]
Let's step things up, shall we?
[pained cry]
Not that I'm not having fun
[man screams]
but I am starting to wonder
why they sent me here.
Beating you,
conquering your pathetic planet.
It's too easy.
Fun, but easy.
- [grunts]
- [crying out]
[groans]
[Conquest]
I've met your father, you know.
He showed so much promise
when he was younger.
Now he's dead,
executed just before I left.
[groans]
It's sad, really.
I would have loved to have
seen the look on his face
after I told him that I killed you.
[groans]
My dad?
[grunts] Eat one, you old sack of turds.
[exciting music playing]
- Ah.
- Come on, hurry.
[groans]
He'll kill you, Oliver.
Get out of here.
You can't fight him alone.
But look at him. He's old as dirt.
We could take him down together.
[Conquest] I'm old, not weak.
But thanks for coming back.
I'm gonna split you in half
and eat your heart.
How's that sound?
[ominous music playing]
I think that sounds like a bunch of
[grunts]
Get away from him!
Take a break while I focus on the boy.
[cries out]
[groans]
[groans loudly]
[coughing]
[Oliver cries out]
We're not done yet.
[bones creaking]
[pained cries]
You feel your body starting to rip?
First your muscles tear,
then your vertebrae, they separate.
If you're able to focus through the pain,
it's your skin next,
pulled to its breaking point,
just as it starts to rip.
[continuous cries of pain]
This is going to be amazing.
- [straining]
- [Oliver crying out]
No!
Ha, faster than I thought.
No matter, I'll eat your heart instead.
[groaning]
[pained grunt]
[coughing]
Get him ready for transport.
Hurry. [Oliver groans]
[gasps]
[Mark and Conquest grunting]
Jesus.
Donald, tell Debbie Oliver's alive
and we're bringing him in.
[Donald] Yes, sir. Also, Eve's awake
and asking to speak to you.
Says it's urgent.
He's a Viltrumite, Eve.
The strongest one we've seen yet.
Our guys think he would even
take Nolan down.
And you're not exactly ready for the field
because of the last Viltrumites
who came through here.
I can rearrange matter, Cecil,
so I might be the only person on Earth
who can stop him.
And Mark's out there, alone.
- Eve, don't ask me to do this.
- You don't have a choice.
[ominous music playing]
Look behind you.
[grunts]
I don't want you to miss this.
[indistinct chatter]
[alarmed screams and shouts]
[dog yelps]
[boy screams]
Enough!
No. Please.
Get away from him, you animal.
Ah, good idea.
- Mark!
- Get out of here. Go!
[grunts]
[screams in pain]
[screaming]
Such concern for others' safety.
You really are pathetic.
Mark!
Yah!
[cries out]
You've got problems of your own, kitten.
[Mark groaning]
[grunting]
Cute.
[straining]
What?!
[Eve] I increased the density of the air.
I've got all kinds of tricks.
[Conquest cries out]
[Conquest grunts]
Ah, clever.
[groaning]
[Conquest] But I hear you breathing hard.
How long can you keep this up?
[panting]
[grunting]
You're already getting tired.
Tired of your bullshit.
[dramatic music playing]
Yah! Yah!
[Conquest crying out]
[shouting]
[pained cry]
[chuckles]
Hyah!
[exhausted gasp]
[grunts]
- [chuckles]
- [Eve gagging]
So pretty.
Such a waste.
[Mark] No!
[groans]
[panting]
Eve, please.
[gentle music playing]
I can't do this without you.
I can't live without you.
Please.
Please, please, please.
Please.
[Mark crying]
- [Eve groaning]
- [Mark] Please, please, please.
[Mark sobbing]
Eve! Please.
[garbled speech]
No, no, stop.
Don't try to talk, okay?
Cecil!
I need you, Cecil!
Please, please keep breathing.
[crying]
[Conquest] Aw, such a strong bond.
Viltrumites have nothing like this.
It's a weakness, really.
Delicious.
Oh, I am beginning to understand
your affinity for these lowly creatures.
Eve? Eve
Not long now, huh?
If you've got anything to tell her,
I wouldn't wait.
[dramatic music playing]
[Conquest] Oh, too late.
Good.
Now, while I have your attention,
I want to thank you, Mark.
Really.
You know, it's not often
I get to cut loose like this.
Usually there are
so many mission parameters,
so many things not to destroy.
People not to kill.
But for whatever reason,
and I don't really care why,
I was ordered to take control of Earth
by any means necessary.
You did something to piss us off,
and I thank you for it.
This has been an immense joy.
[Mark] I don't care how strong you are.
I don't care how fast you are.
I can see the future.
You don't live to see tomorrow.
[Conquest laughs]
After all I've done,
after all this,
you still think you can threaten me?
I dare say, child.
You are starting to impress me.
Do your worst.
[panting]
[soaring music playing]
[shouting]
[groaning]
[growls]
Now we're getting somewhere Ah!
[furious howl]
[grunting]
[bones crackling]
[laughs]
Getting mad doesn't make you stronger.
That's not how it works.
[screams]
Get off me!
Damn.
[grunts loudly]
Die!
[exhausted panting]
[gasps]
Pay attention!
[Mark choking]
[hisses softly]
I am so lonely.
All the other Viltrumites are
scared of me.
No one talks to me.
No one wants to be my friend.
They think I am unstable.
They send me from planet to planet,
committing atrocities in their name.
And as I get better at it,
they fear me more and more.
[soft sigh]
I am a victim of my own success.
"Conquest."
I don't even get a real name,
only a purpose.
I am capable of so much more
and no one sees it.
Some days I feel so alone
I could cry, but I don't.
I never do.
Because what would be the point?
Not a single person
in the entire universe would care.
[ragged gasping]
Take it to your grave.
[fierce grunting]
[choking]
[Eve] Mark!
[majestic music playing]
[grunts]
[agonized screaming]
Jerk.
[groaning]
Eve?
How?
This time
- This time I'll make sure she's dead.
- Don't touch her!
Got more than enough fight
left in me for you, boy.
[screaming]
See? More than enough.
Not enough.
Not nearly.
- [Conquest groaning]
- Is this what you wanted?
Are you enjoying yourself?
Still having fun?
Answer me!
Ah.
I take the good with the bad.
[fierce screaming]
[panting, gasping]
Eve?
[pained groaning]
Eve?
- Mark?
- [soft gasp] You're alive.
So are you.
I I love you.
Oh.
I love you, too.
I thought
I thought you were
Mark?
Mark.
Hey. Am I
naked?
[hopeful music playing]
Huh.
[Eve] Mark.
Mark.
- Wake up.
- Ah Eve?
[weak groan]
How long have I been out?
- Three days. You were pretty hurt.
- What happened?
You don't remember?
No
I remember everything.
I remember
- I remember that you died.
- No, I didn't die.
- I just got really close.
- How?
It's complicated.
I was given powers
while I was still in the womb,
but they put in mental blocks
to limit what I could do.
That's the only reason
I can't change sentient matter.
But when something
really traumatic happens,
it overrides those blocks
and I can use my powers
without any limitations.
It happened once before
and I've been meaning to tell you,
but the time was never right.
Almost dying was stressful enough
to allow me to rebuild my entire body.
- I would have died without you.
- Me, too.
[Sinclair] There's so much work
involved in rebuilding these bodies.
We're inventing new tools to do it.
It simply can't be rushed.
Wh-What the fuck are you talking about?
Did you see what that
monster did to Invincible?
He was just one Viltrumite,
and I bet now that he's dead,
there's gonna be a whole lot more
on their way here.
I had, of course, already considered this.
- But hearing it put so bluntly
- Good. I don't care what it takes.
Get 'em finished, Sinclair.
[intriguing music playing]
[Sinclair] Instead of dinner and a movie,
- I think we'll be working tonight.
- I gathered.
[door opens]
[Paul] Um
- Hi?
- Uh?
- Um
- Mom?
- Let me just
- It's fine, Eve.
We all need a little comfort these days.
It's okay, Mom. I'm okay.
- [soft gasp] I am so sorry.
- Why?
For everything.
When I married your father, I
I didn't know the life I'd be giving you,
the responsibilities you'd have.
I think back on every time we asked,
"Did you get your powers yet?"
How hopeful we were?
How disappointed you were
when it hadn't happened yet.
And it just
it disgusts me.
I see you out there, getting hurt,
fighting for your life, and
- it's my fault.
- Mom, it's not your
I could have taken you away from all this.
- Mom.
- I shouldn't have let your father
- convince me it would all be okay.
- Mom.
You did everything right.
Everything.
[Debbie sobs softly]
Mark, I love you so much.
[Mark sighs] I love you, too.
How's Oliver?
He's okay.
He's just down the hall.
My staff can barely keep him in bed.
Sorry to interrupt.
I just heard you were awake.
- I wanted to thank
- Where's Conquest?
Huh. Was that his name?
- He's dead, Mark. You killed him.
- Where's his body?
[hisses]
Burn it.
[jarring music playing]
Yeah.
[Robot] We've lost so many friends
these past few weeks,
and there's so much still to do,
that it seems strange
to pause and gather
for a moment like this.
But isn't that why we fight?
To save, or honor, even a single life?
Rex would tell me to shut up
and get to the point,
but I know that's what he believed.
He was always so confident,
but also honest about his failings.
So sure of himself,
but the first to confess fear.
[Rae sobs]
[Robot] He was everything I wanted,
and still want, to be.
[crying]
[Robot] To honor my friend
and everything he meant to me,
I am changing my name from Rudy
to Rex
so that much of him,
at least, will survive.
I only hope that I can live up
to his courage and sacrifice.
He will be deeply missed.
I believe Atom Eve
wanted to say a few words.
- You could've gone up there yourself.
- I don't think I
I don't think I could have
gotten through it.
It was easier this way.
I get it.
I love you Rex.
Rex Splode was
my first
everything.
Good and bad.
H-He
[sobs] I'm sorry.
[sniffles]
Rex and I
we had a complicated relationship.
[thunder rumbles]
[Mark] Hey.
I just
can't believe that he's gone. [sobs]
I never got to say goodbye.
We hadn't talked
since I moved out of the tower.
When you know someone for so long,
they're always the same to you.
It's-It's hard to let them
change or mature.
But Rex
he had changed so much.
- Wish I'd spent more time with him.
- Me, too.
I loved him, you know?
I really did.
Even though he cheated on me
so many times.
It all just happened so fast,
I just can't, I
- Are Are you smiling?
- I'm sorry, I
I thought I'd lost you.
But now I can't stop thinking about
how even through everything, you're
you're here and okay and
[Eve sobs]
[gentle music playing]
[crickets chirping]
[grunts]
Mm.
[Eve chuckles softly]
[chuckles]
[grunts]
This is gonna be awkward.
[laughs]
I don't think I'll ever get used to that.
[both grunt]
[Nine Inch Nails:
"Every Day is Exactly the Same"]
♫ ♫
[squeaking]
[screeches]
♫ I believe I can see the future ♫
♫ Because I repeat the same routine ♫
[squelching, squeaking]
♫ I think I used to have a purpose ♫
Not long now.
♫ Then again,
that might have been a dream ♫
♫ I think I used to have a voice ♫
♫ Now I never make a sound ♫
♫ I just do what I've been told ♫
♫ I really don't want ♫
♫ Them to come around, oh, no ♫
♫ Every day is exactly the same ♫
♫ Every day is exactly the same ♫
Mm
Muh
More!
♫ And there is no pain ♫
[technician] It is done.
♫ Every day is exactly the same ♫
Thank you.
Now, what do you want?
[technician] Angstrom Levy,
you have witnessed what our
ambitions have done to our world.
And what we have had to do
to ourselves to survive here.
You want a new home?
Fine.
[technician] That is only
the beginning of the delights
we will achieve together.
[crow cawing]
[Donald] Sir, I know you're not
always concerned about my opinion,
but is this really a wise decision?
[Cecil sighs]
We don't have a choice, Donald.
He's in a 400-ton block
of tungsten-steel alloy,
six miles underground.
If he so much as twitches,
this whole place explodes.
And as soon as he regains consciousness,
he's gonna tell us everything
about the Viltrum Empire.
And how to stop them.
[Oliver] I finally get out tomorrow!
I can help you with fixing up the cities.
- What?
- [groans]
- You don't even care.
- I do care. I just
There's still a lot going on, Oliver.
I know, and I can help.
I'll listen to you and everything.
I promise I'll be good.
That's kinda why I'm here.
You were right.
You were right about the Maulers.
You were right about Angstrom.
They hurt so many people,
ruined so many lives.
Angstrom almost killed you and Mom, even.
So if anyone else ever puts my family,
or anyone I love, at risk
I won't hesitate to kill them.
[disembodied whispering]
Hrm
[approaching footsteps]
I am summoned.
[sizzling]
Forgive me, lord.
Would not dare awaken the great beast
if didn't bring welcome news.
Speak, Darkblood.
Before I recall how I long to savor
the gnashing of flesh in my putrid maw.
Have means to restore you
to infernal throne.
Surface dweller of great power,
likes of which this planet
has not seen for eons.
- A surface dweller, you say?
- Yes.
With abilities that far exceed any other.
His blackened heart will be bound
to your service, dark one.
- How?
- Have discovered means of conjuring him.
Here.
[dramatic music]
