Jupiter's Legacy

You can't beat me.

I'm gonna get you.

Yeah!

- You're too slow. - I'll get you now.

I'm more powerful than you.

Stop. You can't escape the Union.

Oh, yeah? You have to catch me first, Utopian.

I'll get you, Mr. Snow!

Not if I get you first, Lady Liberty.

- Yes! - Laser eyes!

Ha! You missed!

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

No, I didn't!

I didn't miss.

Chloe?

- Brandon, he lied. - It's okay. It's okay.

- I got him. - I know.

- You saw. - It's okay.

Crap!

Hi, Dad.

- We were playing, and Chloe... - Yeah, I heard.

You used your powers, Chloe.

He was the bad guy. We're supposed to get the bad guy.

We have these powers for a reason.

And with great power comes...

Great responsibility.

No.

Well, yeah.

Look, you have to care. You have to care about people.

You have to care about everything. You have to know that…

Look, it's easier to hurt people, to get angry, to even kill people.

But the bad guys...

The bad guys are people too.

So what do we do? We stop them, and we lock them up,

but we do not let our anger get the best of us.

Service, compassion, mercy, those are the words we live by.

That is our Code, and it's the most important thing in the world.

Do you understand?

Mm-hmm.

All right.

- Who wants ice cream? - Me!

- Let's get some ice cream. - Marshmallow?

I have to go.

But you said...

I know. I know.

There's some people in trouble, and they need me.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Our breaking stories at the top of the hour.

The Dow Jones lost 8%

in what many experts are warning is an alarming market trend

not seen since 1929's Black Monday.

Unemployment rose for the tenth month in a row,

as economic stimulus is still being debated in Congress.

And in Portland, six officers were injured

during a protest over the North American Accord.

In other news, the trial for the criminal known as Blackstar…

Hey. Warm you up?

- Uh, no, thanks. - Okay.

…Blackstar has been recently captured, arrested, and indicted…

Oh, yeah, that guy.

Bad friggin' news.

Once a respected scientist, Blackstar,

- real name William Henry Bendal… -

- - You sure I can't get you anything?

Move it! Move it! Go! Go! Go!

- Come on, boys! Let's blow this shit! - Come on! Come on!

Yo, Blondie, get the hell out of the street.

We're robbing this bitch.

No.

I'm robbing this bitch.

Oh shit!

Get on the ground and lock your fingers behind your head.

I'm not asking twice.

Wow. You must be lost or something,

'cause you're way out of your league here, champ.

- Hey... - Look, um, it's Paragon, right?

Trust me on this one, kid. Just fly away.

Last thing you need is to be trending on social media after I whoop your ass.

Not a good look.

Oh, and what would daddy think?

Come on. Come on, baby.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes! Oh!

Wait a minute. Hold up.

- - Get.

Come on.

You're not the Utopian or Brainwave.

You're not even your mom.

So stay down.

Or not.

Oh shit!

- -

I… I had it under control.

Yeah, I see that.

What are you doing? You know the rules. You call for backup.

You need to be safe, and you need to be smart.

- Dad, I... - Just…

Do better next time.

All right?

You're paying for this by the way.

You're a dick.

…no reports of injuries, but a three-block area has been evacuated.

And in business, the stock market fell through the floor today.

No one seems to have predicted this, so it's hard to know where it's heading.

Full report coming up later.

There's been a new development

involving the trail of Dr. Bendal.

Dr. Bendal, also known as Blackstar, had his motion to dismiss denied today.

This ongoing court battle shows no signs of stopping

months after his apprehension by the Utopian.

You think you can keep me locked up forever, Sheldon?

Dr. Bendal will remain in custody at the Supermax

- awaiting his verdict and sentencing. -

Honey, have you seen the garlic press?

- It's in the drawer. - I know. I checked the drawer.

- Really? - Yeah.

- You looked in that drawer? - Yeah.

- Did you check this drawer? - Yeah.

You know, for a guy who can spot a dime on the surface of the moon…

Don't you sass me when I'm cooking, woman.

- Do you want a beer? - I wouldn't say no.

What are you listening to?

It's music, Grace.

- Where's your phone? - By the potatoes.

Here.

Thank you.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- - How do you know my code?

We've been married for 60 years. You don't get to have secrets.

Oh, that's disturbing.

- Ah, the King. - That's right.

You remember when we bumped into him in the woods in Germany back in '58?

- - Oh, God! We scared the crap out of him.

He thought we were a UFO.

- Yeah, he was a good kid. - Yeah.

Until the drugs got to him.

- She's gonna be all right. -

- Maybe I should sit her down. - Oof. Maybe you shouldn't.

- She needs to hear it, Grace. - Honey, she's not gonna hear it.

Your heart is in the right place. It's just not her place, you know?

- At least, not right now. - So when?

- Well, that's up to her. - I mean…

Give me some insight into the mind of a 20-year-old.

- I have no idea how to deal with this one. - That's all I got.

She's like an alien to me.

Hey, how's the kid that still listens to us?

Fitz gave him a clean bill.

Well, that's not what I meant.

It should've been an easy takedown. He let it get out of hand.

All right, it's not like that hasn't happened to us.

Yeah, with guys like Hobbs and Blackstar, guys that could back it up.

What if Brandon had brought some of those other kids with him, huh?

- He could've gotten them killed. - Yeah, but he didn't, so…

- He's just… he's not getting it, Grace. - He's still learning, Sheldon.

Yeah, well, if he plans on taking this over someday,

he's gotta do more than learn. He's gotta become.

Okay, relax, Yoda. You're not going anywhere. He's got time.

Time is not the problem.

The kid is…

- What? -

He's way too emotional.

He's distracted.

He's not even close to being ready.

Maybe he never will be.

Aperitifs on the roof. How civilized!

Hey, Uncle Walt.

What are you doing up here?

Oh, you know,

thinking and drinking.

Huh.

I heard about what happened.

Yeah. Who hasn't?

- You wanna talk? -
