Stargirl (2020) s03e10 Episode Script

ISA, me and the wife,
we never really fit in.
Jordan was a good guy,
but the rest of 'em,
I do not miss.
Howdy, neighbor.
We have got to get together for coffee!
I love Blue Valley and the people in it.
You stopped Icicle.
You got me justice.
That was an accident, pal.
Took off the limiter. Now it works 24/7.
Rick, stop!
- Sofus!
- He's having
a heart attack. What do we do?
I'm still worried about Cindy.
What's that?
It looks like a list
of her father's laboratories.
Our lead.
If you wanna find Cindy,
let's find Cindy.
Oh, boy.
I'll kill every last one of them.
- Hey!
- Hey, Crusher!
Hey.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
In the old days,
it wouldn't have mattered
if they were wearing dentures
or fitted with pacemakers.
Anyone attacks us, we take 'em out.
Pat and his family are our people now.
I know.
But we don't use violence
to solve our problems anymore.
Yeah, well, we can't just let
Grandma and Grandpa Icicle
walk away from this.
- We gotta do something.
- We will.
What?
I don't know yet.
Oh, man.
You gotta be kidding me, man.
I never learn.
Come on, man.
You asked for phone service.
I came through with flying colors.
Yeah, great job, Thunderbolt.
What?
What's that? "Thank you, Thunderbolt"?
Oh, I didn't hear that.
That didn't get said.
But you know what, Jakeem?
You're welcome.
It's working. Wait, I can't tell.
It sounds like a UFO.
If you'd like to make a call,
please deposit ten cents.
Ten cents for a phone call?
We need a dime. Do you have a dime?
Why would I need to walk
around with a dime?
Just look.
I have some sour apple bubblegum.
It's been in my pocket
for a while, though.
Cindy Burman needs our help, huh?
- That backfired on us.
- What if that thing got her?
It probably did! She's
probably in its belly,
and we're gonna join her down there.
I mean, we would be home right
now if you had just been
more specific with the first wish.
How was I supposed to know
wishing to go home
wouldn't take us anywhere?
Because home is where the heart is
a very apropos statement.
It actually came
from one of my former masters,
Gaius Plinius Secundus.
He and his best friend went
everywhere together
like you and Mike,
even to an active volcano,
the great Mt. Vesuvius,
which again, very apropos
- caused their demise.
- They died?
- Oh, but they died together.
- Why is that ah-pro-pro?
There'll be no death for us today.
- Got that?
- Yeah, why would there be?
Unless that giant, mutated,
hungry, albino gorilla
finds us, and then I'd have to
say, "Outlook not so good".
Let's not die.
What?
Oh, why couldn't that
- just be thunder?
- Go, run, run!
Hello, you've reached
Michael P. Dugan, Esquire.
Text me, and I'll hit you back.
I don't do phone calls.
Mike's still not answering.
Jakeem either.
So where are they?
Well, Mike said he was gonna
spend the night at Jakeem's.
Jakeem told his mom he was
spending the night here.
Do you think the Mahkents
did something to them?
If they found out that
Mike killed Jordan
Pat, Mike and Jakeem lied
to us about where they were
before everything with those
Norwegian frosted freaks went down.
So the boys were already off doing
whatever they set out to do.
We have to be sure that the Mahkents
- are not involved.
- I agree.
Beth tracked the receiving
signal from the spy cameras
to the Mahkent house.
They're the ones who've
been watching us.
How could they not be involved?
Because we've been set up before.
Think about it at the exact moment
you and Cameron were trying
to bury past demons,
Beth suddenly cracks
into info that points the rest
of you at the Mahkent house
like a gun, so everything goes boom?
I bet you one of my red boots
and one of Pat's puffer vests
that the signal that Beth found
was a fabrication.
Someone is trying to distract us.
Well, if the Mahkents haven't
been the ones watching us,
then who's left?
Nurse Collins to 153 south.
Nurse Collins to 153 south.
This is not the way of our family
waiting, giving them time to plan,
to attack us again? Never.
We don't know for sure
that that's what they're doing,
Grandma. And Papa, he said
Look at him, Cameron.
- Look at your grandfather.
- He might've died
if Beth Chapel hadn't called 911.
They were the ones who did this to him,
just like your father.
You know the truth now, Cameron,
about Courtney Whitmore
and her friends
who they are, what they did.
I'm going to take your grandfather home.
Go find the Whitmore girl.
You know what must be done next.
I know.
So what's the prognosis, Doc?
Will I ever play violin again?
That's not funny.
Mr. Mahkent almost died.
Well, he didn't.
Neither did I.
That's true, but your
heart rate and blood pressure
are elevated to very unnatural levels.
It's that hourglass, Rick.
You've been wearing it for too long.
I feel better than ever,
and with Cameron Mahkent
and his grandparents out there,
none of us can let
our guard down right now.
Rick, from what Beth told us,
you just rushed in.
- You even hit Courtney.
- It was an accident!
Okay?
You know that.
We do,
but you haven't been acting
like yourself, Rick.
We're all really worried about you.
I'm fine.
Really. I am.
Then take off your hourglass.
Take it off for ten minutes.
See how you feel.
Don't ever tell me what to do.
- Rick!
- Rick!
- Hold on!
- Rick!
Not bringing the Staff?
I gotta say it's a mistake.
Yeah, we're not here to fight.
So we're here to die?
Look, I'm sorry.
I know you're worried about Mike.
- Yeah.
- But I'm worried about you.
These people are evil people.
They're the worst of the bunch.
You know they could kill us
the second we step on the front porch.
If Mike's in there, I wanna
know about it right now.
And if not, then we still got
a chance to calm the waters
before any more blood
gets spilled, all right?
We need to try.
Okay.
We're gonna die.
One more thing
no matter what they say,
no matter what they do,
you follow my lead, all right?
You check your temper
- like Rick should've done.
- I got it.
Feel all right?
Come in.
I'd offer you some tea, but
I'm in no shape to make it.
Mr. Mahkent, have you seen my son?
No.
Should we have?
After everything that's happened,
have you done something to
my son and his friend, Jakeem?
If I felt better, I'd be
angry at the allegation
that I would hurt a child.
You just tried to freeze-dry
a bunch of kids, Grandpa Frostbite.
Oh, sorry.
Well, yes. We were defending ourselves,
Starman.
Where's your wife?
She went out to pick up
some things for my recovery.
We're glad you're doing okay.
This should never have happened.
We brought our son
to this country to escape
what we faced back home.
You don't understand
what our family has endured
over the centuries
hunted because of what we can do.
Fathers,
mothers,
children
burnt like witches.
Mr. Mahkent, we don't wanna hurt you,
all right?
So let's put an end to this feud.
You killed our son.
The why, the how
that doesn't matter now.
There's no coming back from that,
not for my wife.
You should take your family
and friends far away
from Blue Valley,
or you should come for us
as others have before.
We would love to take a shot at you.
Go now,
before my wife returns and
kills you both where you sit.
Go, please.
- Yeah, yeah, sure.
- If you see Mike and Jakeem,
can you just have them
call me, Mr. Bloomkiss?
No problem. I got you.
Thank you.
Your husband and his friend
came to our house today.
So I came here.
What do you want?
To tell you that your family
has hurt mine too many times now.
My son could have saved
this country's future,
and he was so very fond of you.
Oh.
I won't miss on purpose again.
You have one second to leave.
You need to learn how to use this.
Dude, dude!
We gotta think of a wish.
Okay, this is good.
Say this
"I wish that my friend,
Mike Dugan, and I were sitting
at a booth at Richie's enjoying
strawberry milkshakes
and chocolate milkshakes,
respectively, at 212 Main Street".
Wait, is it North or South Main Street?
Gotta be specific, boys.
What happened? Did we get eaten?
Ow, you're actually on top of my
What are you two idiots doing here?
Hey, we found her!
Is that Cindy? Oh.
Hi.
Don't tell her you
have all of her stuff.
Ow.
Ow.
- Cindy, you're alive.
- What are you doing here?
- We're looking for you.
- Why?
We wanted to see if you were okay.
Yeah, now that you're
turning into a lizard.
Lizards are, by far, the most beautiful
and intriguing members of the
reptile family, if you ask me.
While we were looking for you,
we found a giant, big, white gorilla.
I'm not good at estimates,
but I'd say, like, 30 feet tall.
Yeah, that's what that trap was for.
Huh. You might need a bigger trap.
Look, down there, you'll
find a road, Etter Lane.
- It leads right back to town.
- Come with us.
I can't. I think that thing
is one of my dad's crazy
science experiments.
It's gotta be what killed
The Gambler, right?
Probably. So it's how I'll clear my name
and shove it into the smug faces
of your sister's dumbass friends.
- Admirable goals.
- So do yourselves a favor.
Go play some video games
and leave this to me.
But The Thunderbolt said that
- What?
- Yep, she oh.
Oh, just like Batman!
She is out of her mind.
How 'bout those milkshakes, guys?
Do you wanna make that wish?
Whoa.
It worked!
Mm-hmm.
- This is good.
- Mm.
Oh, my gosh, you know
what I totally forgot about?
- The gorilla.
- Check, please.
- Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- What?
You need to stabilize your stance.
- What does that mean?
- Move your legs.
- Don't lean forward.
- Okay.
Keep your center of gravity
over your base.
Keep your hands below the rail.
If they're anywhere near these
cables, you'll lose a finger.
Oh. Oh, God.
I don't know if I can do this.
I'm not a superhero.
Not all superheroes
fly through the air. Some fire arrows.
- Come on.
- This is not me.
Yes, it is.
Courtney is a fighter.
She gets that from you.
I don't wanna lose the only real friend
outside of my family I've ever had.
So now try again.
But this time, imagine
Mrs. Mahkent's face
- on the target.
- Okay.
- We'll keep practicing.
- Where'd it go?
You fired it, right?
- Yeah.
- Hmm.
Lots of chances. Got
some arrows in the car.
How is your grandfather?
He's fine.
Cameron, I am so sorry.
I never meant for any of this to happen.
Then why'd you do it?
Yolanda and Rick were
just trying to protect me.
They thought your grandparents
My grandparents are not evil, okay?
They're just angry.
I'm angry.
I know you are,
and you have every right to be.
You should've told me the truth.
I wanted to, but I didn't know how.
You just open your mouth,
and you say it.
Yes, but
I know how much
your father meant to you,
and I didn't wanna change
the memory you had of him.
Change it how?
He did
bad things, Cameron.
He killed people to get what he wanted,
and he was about to kill more,
so, so many more.
I'm learning that he
I know he wasn't
a good guy all the time,
but he was my dad, Courtney.
Mine.
Did you have to kill him to stop him?
Did you have to take him away from me?
Forever?
- We never set out to hurt him.
- Who did it?
Who killed my father?
It was an accident, I swear to you.
If it was an accident, then
someone needs to own up to it.
Now, who?
It doesn't matter who did it.
It matters to me.
Please.
Please.
I did it.
I'm sorry.
Cameron.
I don't ever wanna see you again.
You sure you wanna do this?
That old woman won't listen
to a word Barbara says.
But we used to be
on their side of the fence
well, on Jordan's.
They might be more open-minded with us.
Wow.
Hope you have insurance.
You know why we're here.
Not exactly.
- You were friends of our son.
- Can we sit down?
All right, look, I'm just gonna
I'm just gonna get right
to the to the point.
We're on behalf of Pat
and Barbara and the kids.
So you've aligned yourself
with that horrible girl
- and her family?
- Despite our differences,
I think all of us in Blue Valley
want the same thing.
How could you presume
to know what we want?
We need to reset.
No more revenge plots, no more violence,
You want us to forget everything?
Not forget it,
but learn from it.
That's what Courtney Whitmore
has been trying to get us all to do
forgive one another.
You want us to forgive the
people who murdered our son?
Never!
I'll hit the sky, see if I can
find any clue up there.
Dad!
Mike.
Where ya been?
- Dad, I
- You okay?
- I was we were in the woods.
- Hey.
I
- That's okay.
- You okay, Jakeem?
- You all right?
- You got a lot of folks
- worried, you know that?
- Yeah.
Where were you?
We found a monster in the woods.
- What?
- A monster?
- Grundy?
- It was a huge mutant gorilla.
- Oh, God.
- Oh, boy.
Yeah, a white one.
- Pat
- Yeah.
A white gorilla.
You know what it is?
Unfortunately, yeah.
Dad, what is it?
It's one of the most dangerous things
that the JSA ever faced.
Look, all of this, everything
that's been happening,
it ain't about us.
Jordan wanted to build a new America
because he believed he could
create a brighter, safer future
for our children.
That's why we got
on board with his plan.
We believed in him.
But if this continues,
it will only bring more
destruction to our families
- and our community.
- And that's not
what Jordan wanted in the end.
- No, it wasn't.
- So you kill them,
then they kill you, and a lot
of other people get killed
along the way. Believe me.
My wife and I, we've been
doing this a long time.
We know.
That's how this goes.
How will this help Cameron?
What kind of future will this give him
and his children?
Jordan wanted the best for his kid.
So do what's right.
Give it up
like we did.
Hey, Court.
I'm okay.
No Rick?
I haven't heard back yet.
Kay, well, that kid, he needs
to get his head on straight,
'cause the man that
Mike and Jakeem found,
he's the worst threat
that you can imagine.
Yeah, but he's not a man, Dad.
He used to be.
When the Justice Society first
formed, there was a scientist
didn't know his real identity.
He just went by "The Ultra-Humanite".
But he went by a lot of names.
When we first met him,
he was just another criminal
until he escaped us by putting his brain
into the body of an actress
named Dolores Winters.
I mean, that sounds like
a science fiction horror movie,
but it's exactly what happened.
Dolores Winters, the famous actress?
He put his brain in her body?
- H-how'd he do that?
- Magic?
Surgery with a little help
from Dragon King.
We don't even know if the scientist body
we first met him in
was his original one.
Anyway, he assumed
Dolores Winters' identity
and fooled everyone.
Dolores Winters went on to win an Oscar.
For "Remembering to Forget".
It's one of my mom's favorites.
The Ultra-Humanite had been
in Dolores' skull
for over a year by then.
So he won the award?
Exactly.
When the JSA found out
the truth about Winters,
The Ultra-Humanite sought out
a body strong enough
to destroy us. So he and Dragon King
stitched that mutated ape together
and put his brain in that.
He has to be the one
that sucker-punched me
back at The Gambler's trailer.
That's probably also who
killed The Gambler, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- So was he the one
that was watching us?
That would be his M.O.
But what does he want?
Besides revenge against the JSA?
It's anyone's guess.
What do you think?
I think they're considering it.
Let's hope so.
The Ultra-Humanite is the next Eclipso.
What does that mean?
He's the next real evil that
has to be stopped by all of us.
Pat, that's what I was
talking about when I said
we had to come together
the Crocks, Cindy, and now
the Mahkents.
If this villain is as
powerful as you say,
it'll take everyone to stop him,
including the Mahkents.
I know you wanna help Cameron, but
This isn't just about
helping Cameron, Yolanda.
It's about all of us.
Good and bad have come together
before, and we can do it again,
and get another new start.
Maybe she's right.
It's gonna take each and
every one of us, though,
working together.
Huh!
- Oh.
- Whew.
That's better.
- Oh.
- Ah.
It's Artie.
- Hey!
- Oh, hi!
- Dad, Mom, I got in!
- What?
Mr. Morrison was at tryouts,
and oh, my God, I'm going to Nebraska!
- Congratulations!
- Oh, my God, our kid
is the first female quarterback
in college football!
Yeah, we knew you could do it!
Hey, look, we're on our way home.
We're gonna see you soon.
We are gonna celebrate tonight!
- Mwah!
- We love you so much.
- We love you!
- Love you too!
So proud of you. Hey, see you soon.
- Ah!
- Oh, I knew it!
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- Oh!
Everything's coming up Crock today.
This is fantastic. Oh, my God.
It's really
The hell?
What the hell is this?
Someone wants our attention.
If they're looking for trouble,
they're gonna be sorry they got it.
What is this?
What the hell?
Oh!
No!
At least you'll die together.
I love you.
I love you too.
Greg, move your head.
Mad Ghost.
