Powers

Previously on Powers...

We can't turn his powers off.

- We can only retard them. - Wolfe was this...

rock-star philosopher badass.

- Wolfe was our teacher. - But you put Wolfe away.

- Christian... - He went crazy.

- He killed my friends. - Sway.

It's a total boost.

That's an unregulated Powers enhancer.

My name's Zora.

Zora.

Your agent doesn't seem to recognize your dead friend.

You are one Powers pwning motherfucker.

You know what they didn't get right in this game?

No regular people die.

Retro Girl is not a person.

She's the over-exposed image that's being sold to you.

- Do what you have to do - You're coming with us. We are the police.

OK? Enough of this.

They can't take you away from your home.

- You know how to get out of here? - Yeah.

I do.

You came back for me.

I thought you forgot me.

I didn't forget.

He ate them!

He fuckin' ate those people.

He fuckin' ate them!

- Fuck! Fuck, fuck! - They were hurting me.

I know I shouldn't...

but they've been hurting me for so long...

I just wanted them to stop.

I don't...

I don't really like this...

I...

This...

This isn't me.

I'm not like this.

See?

I remember...

things...

Johnny...

I'm so sorry.

I never wanted to hurt...

anyone.

Guess she fucked it up.

No. It was me.

I mean...

Yeah, her standards were impossible to live up to.

Don't... get me wrong. I wanna hear as much Retro Girl gossip as I can, but...

I meant she fucked it up back there.

You had Calista, she was right there with you and that woman...

she fucked it up.

Jesus shit!

Is there anything she won't sell?

That's how you make a living.

It's not like... being a Power comes with a paycheck.

Not a lot of high-paying jobs you can walk into just 'cause you can fly, or

walk through walls,

bench-press five tons.

Yeah I remember your Trojan ad.

Yeah, that was my last endorsement deal.

People aren't interested in buying things from someone who's ordinary.

That's not sexy.

Yeah, us ordinary people. We're a sorry bunch.

I know a place.

There'll be no one around to hurt you.

No one for you.

You'd be safe.

I have to be there alone?

It's cold there, and...

and it's dark.

But in the summertime, the light comes and...

and you won't believe how many birds are there.

Birds?

I like birds.

Unmasking, writing the book...

it put me back on the radar for...

fifteen minutes.

And fuck Cross came looking when he did.

Is that... why you became a cop?

To keep off the convention circuit?

Why did you become a cop?

I mean besides...

your dad trying to turn you into the son he never had.

I became a cop 'cause I like helping people.

And I like how... a new day is never the same.

And because my dad raised me to be the son he never had.

But fuck you anyway.

Well...

Cross needed a face to sell Powers division to the voters.

My face had recently become available...

And I was always good at being famous.

So it seemed like a good idea.

Let's get you out of here, huh?

Before we go...

He hurt me.

So much.

And I am so hungry.

No, no!

No!

You know you're better than that!

You're more than that!

Walker, this is Cross.

I'm at the Shaft.

Wolfe has escaped containment.

What the fuck...

Put Suppression Unit into Level 9.

No.

What happened? Was it Royalle?

Not Royalle.

Wolfe broke out of his restraints.

Stage the unit outside his cell.

The Lobotomy Team went in...

He killed at least one of the guards.

Suppression Unit's being dispatched.

No, keep the unit out.

Walker, it's Triphammer.

- We have to send in the unit. - Hartley?

He'll just eat them and get more powerful. If he's contained, we have time.

We lost the cameras in his cell, we're blind.

He's already fed once...

He's too powerful for a Suppression Unit.

Kill me.

I told you to kill me. You couldn't then.

And now?

Not easy to kill.

Not the ones you love.

Leave him alone.

When we lost the cameras in his cell,

there was a distortion.

Royalle's powers signature.

He didn't free Wolfe, but...

We think he entered the cell.

I have to know if Wolfe is in his cell or at large.

There are protocols.

Send in the Suppression Unit.

They're coming to hurt me. I need to be strong.

If you're not gonna kill me

or let me go free, then...

- Don't move! - Hold it right there!

Stay in position. Right there!

_

Everything OK?

Ha, it's just my mom.

- Does she need you? Should you... - No, it's cool.

She's just... you know...

No, she's been through a lot.

With your dad and...

All of that.

It's cool, you know?

Your mom needs you. You should go home.

OK.

I don't know which way to go.

Go left, then all the way down,

take a right at the van that looks like Godzilla trampled it.

All right. Well... later.

Hey...

Are you gonna give me your number or what?

What do we do now?

We leave now.

We're packed up there.

I'm the only one working. It'll be a mess.

It doesn't matter. We're not coming back. We're done. I'm fucked!

- I've fucked it up. - But we can fix it.

No. No, no, no, Simons, he's... he's awake now.

I fucked up their schedule.

I poked him in his fucking brain too many times

it made his powers harder to heal him.

I've fucked it up.

So we take a break.

Recalibrate.

No. No, no, no. We're getting out of here now.

Where's Calista?

You're supposed to collect her.

She wasn't there.

Look, want me to stay here and shut down the club?

The girl shows up...

I'll take care her.

She's coming with us.

I'm not gonna leave her behind to fend for herself.

I'll see you at the bar.

He's contained on Level 9. All personnel have been pulled out.

- Any other Powers now on this level? - General population starts on Level 8.

- What went wrong, Harley? - Powers are like muscles.

The more you use them, the stronger you get.

We scheduled his lobotomies to minimize the impact on his healing.

So what did you miss?

Bring up the video.

Royalle.

Each distortion lasts about 5 seconds,

triggered by an electromagnetic pulse at either end.

Go back.

Each teleport

causes just enough distortion to give him time in the cell.

Completely unseen by us.

Why didn't he just break Wolfe out?

He's been inflicting more damage on Wolfe,

'causing him to heal faster.
