1x19 - Vega
Wasn't foolin' anyone, that guy.
- Cheers, sergeant! - Hut, hut!
Why, hello there.
You don't even have a chance, little man.
Whoa, who's that?
Never seen him before!
sync & correction by f1nc0 ~ addic7ed.com ~
You took a big risk looking for me.
I thought it was time to meet the man behind the curtain.
And what makes you think I won't destroy you right here on the spot?
I have nothing to do with your war.
It doesn't matter what you do to me.
You'll never take Motorcity as long as Chilton is around.
How do you know about Chilton?
Everyone knows him. People like him.
If you don't do something fast, he'll have
the whole city behind him when he comes to get you.
And believe me, he's coming.
Hiya, Julie! Aren't you supposed to be at, uh...
Can't stop!
- I'm so sorry I'm... - Late.
If I'd known we could've done it over comm-screens, I wouldn't have been late.
What we're doing here is important.
I know, I know.
If I can't trust you to take these sessions seriously,
how can I trust you to run this company when I'm gone?
Run it?! Only like three people even know I'm your daughter!
I'm sure the employees will just love
taking orders from some random intern.
If more people knew, you'd become a target!
I keep your secret safe to keep you safe.
Everything I do is for you.
Dad, what's going on?
- I have to leave the office for a few days, for business. - Days?
And it would help me to know that if something should happen to me...
Nothing is going to happen to you.
But if it does!
It'd be a comfort to know that I'm leaving Deluxe in good hands.
Dad...
Talk to me.
Hey, Jules, Foxy just called!
Have you seen what just happened in Motorcity?!
Some new guy just took on a whole fleet
of your dad's robots and an Ultra-golem, by himself!
Oh!
Stop playback.
- Replay Burner mission 124. - Again?
We've been going over this for hours now.
I mean, you remember we won this battle, right?
But what did we really win? Nothing!
Hey, we got a great piece of intel out of the mission.
No, we got a fragment of an encrypted file.
- And now we're a car down. - It could be worse.
I'm working on the file. Maybe it'll be something big.
Look, I know how you feel about driving,
but we could really use another car on the road.
Me? No, no, I mean, I'd love to, but...
You guys there? We got reports coming in from all over.
Something big went down in midtown.
Dutch was right. It looks like something huge went down.
- What happened here? - You haven't seen anything yet.
Whoa.
What could've done this much damage?
I found some footage. Take a look.
You're telling me one guy did all this?
Yeah, and with the heat he's packing,
we could really turn this war around.
What's the big deal? I could totally take out two
fleets of grunt-bots with one hand tied behind my shoe.
- You mean, your back? - Okay, my back tied behind my shoe.
It doesn't matter. Texas can handle it!
All right, wait. Who was the driver?
That's where it gets strange.
According to Kane co., he's a spy from an organization called "Vega."
I never heard of it.
Vega is an organization based in, get this, Cleveland.
Cleveland? I heard everything outside of Detroit was a wasteland.
It seems like that's just a story Kane uses to keep us from leaving.
Looks like it.
The real question is, what's Vega doing in Deluxe?
Kane was acting kinda... different this morning.
He wasn't mad. It was almost like he was...
he was worried about something.
So, you can read his moods now?
Uh, no, no. What?
Hey, look at this weapon. It was specifically designed to stop Kane-bots.
What does that tell you?
That this guy came here looking for a fight.
That kind of tech wouldn't be easy to build, or cheap.
A dude like Kane's gotta have a long list of enemies.
Vega could have some sort of score to settle.
Uh, guys, you remember that encrypted file we grabbed yesterday?
Well, I decrypted it, and you'll wanna see this.
Genesis pod? Any idea what it does?
Yeah. It destroys Motorcity.
You'll never catch Chilton.
So you say.
Chasing him only makes you look weak.
And the weaker you look, the bigger a target you become.
That doesn't look so bad.
Oh, yeah, it's bad. That shielding is pure polydenzium.
It's the worst thing Kane's thrown at us yet!
This thing is gonna be operational before we know it!
If our weapons can't scratch it...
Maybe Vega's can. You saw what this guy did to these bots.
Would that kind of weapon work against poly-whatever-you-said?
It'd do more than what we got.
Then we better find this guy before Kane does.
Let's get ready to move.
Jules, I'm gonna need you to stay behind on this one.
What? Why?
I need you to find out everything you can
about this Genesis pod in case we can't find Vega.
I can do it when we get back.
Jules, I need you to not fight me on this one.
You saw the kind of firepower Kane's sending after this guy.
- If something happens to us... - Why does everyone keep saying that?
Look, if something goes wrong, I need to know
there's still someone who will fight for Motorcity.
- Mike, nothing is going to happen. - Will you do it?
Fine.
Thanks, Jules.
Oh, the depths cover a huge part of Motorcity!
- Where do we start looking? - I don't know. Got any ideas?
- Me? - You're the genius.
Oh, well, I mean, yeah, you're right, I am kinda brilliant.
Look out!
Chilton!
The man, the myth, the fashion disaster! Yow!
Can I help you with something, Duke?
It's time for you to... back off.
We're just driving.
Just driving, yes, and I'm just handsome.
You're going after our mysterious party crasher,
and I'm afraid I can't allow that.
- What's it to you? - The man is in my territory.
That makes him, and all his toys, mine.
Well, then I guess we got ourselves a situation here.
- Get back! - Watch out!
Burners, move it!
Oh, you cowards! Get 'em! Get up and run!
Tex, split 'em up!
Oh, okay, I see how it is! You're trying to be slick!
Let's see how you handle this!
Hey, hey, hey! Watch it, man!
I got this!
Now that's a mighty fine lady he's got.
Now, this guy's ride is old school...
steel, weighs approximately a ton and a half.
Well, if we calculate wind speed,
and account for...
You got something to add?
Me? What could I possibly add to this collection of great minds?
Besides a brain?
Oh, did you dig one of those up in your junkyard?
I just wondered how much time you wanted
to waste guessing where he is, when I can show you.
You wanna help us all of a sudden? What's the catch?
And you would know where Vega is... how?
No one gets in or out of my territory without me knowing.
No one.
Cyborg Dan, if you would be so kind.
With pleasure.
- Now, shall we get a move on? - We?
Between you and I, my men leave something
to be desired when it comes to security.
- Hey, did you put your gum in here? - Yeah.
Duke, are you scared?
My boy, I'm not scared.
I'm an entertainer! Yow!
In the end, we both want the same thing.
And we'll find him faster if we work together.
Don't want someone else finding him first, now do we?
Then no one gets his toys.
And what happens when we find him?
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
What do ya say?
We don't have to fight all the time.
- Make sure your men keep up. - Splendid!
So we're trusting the Duke now?
No way, which is why I need to keep him close.
- This is too important. - That's crazy. You know that, right?
Yeah, but it's part of my charm.
Not too far now. Just on top of that ridge.
All right, you guys hang back here. I'll check in when I get to the top.
- You have no idea what's up there. - Exactly. I'm not leading
my whole team into a blind situation. I'll, go, check it out,
and once the coast is clear, I'll give you a shout.
You don't need to do this alone.
- Yes, I do. - I know this is important, but...
We can build our own weapon!
This isn't just about the weapon. When we destroy a bot,
Kane builds a thousand more overnight.
We're barely getting by here. Don't you see that?
You all saw that Genesis pod.
Kane's designing stronger weapons every day.
We can't keep up, and he knows it.
But this Vega guy has something that could help save Motorcity once and for all.
But who's gonna be there to watch your back?
Don't go worrying your pretty little head about that!
I'll bring your hero back!
Safe and sound!
Whoa! Easy!
- Mike, we're a team. - Not this time.
If something goes wrong up there,
Motorcity is gonna need the Burners more than ever.
We can't do this without you, Mike.
Yes, you can.
Chilton, I hate you so much!
Yeah, I could totally do that.
Found the car, but no sign of Vega.
Well, well, well. Hello, Mike.
Hope you didn't miss me.
So how am I supposed to capture Chilton if I don't pursue him?
You don't try to catch Chilton. You have to let him catch you.
And you have it all worked out.
Of course.
Hello, Mike. Hope you didn't miss me.
Get down!
And my services aren't free. I want my payment in full...
complete sovereignty with all the trimmings.
You bring Chilton to me, and you'll get what you ask for.
Duke! Toss it here!
And then we have a deal.
You can take that thing off.
I'm not taking any chances with these... # pipes! #
Duke! Toss it to me!
Here we go.
Wait, what?
It's you.
I need your help.
Motorcity... needs you.
Dad?
It's Kane! Kane is Vega! Kane is Vega!
Looks like you were right. He fell right into our trap.
I told him, there's no way
you'd be foolish enough to believe in a myth like Vega.
Looks like I was wrong.
Then I want what I was promised.
- All of it. - And you'll have it.
If you hurt my friends...
I don't care about your friends.
Without you, everyone will run back under the rocks like cockroaches.
There'll be no one left to stop me from taking Motorcity by force.
You're wrong, Kane.
Well, even if I am, it'll be mighty tough for them
to do much without their cars.
They're all yours.
- We're so done! - Let's just stay calm.
Calm? We're outnumbered, carless,
Kane's building a doomsday Genesis pod or whatever...
and now he has Mike! I think I am entitled to freak out!
I mean, what are we supposed to do?
We do what Mike told us to do.
Defend Motorcity.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
My grandma runs faster than you!
Not helping!
Oh, finally back. Oh, yeah. Did you get the parts?
We need to finish this weapon.
I can't do many more of these runs.
This is too much fun.
That right's getting better.
See?
What's the matter, cadet? Not enjoying the view?
You never give up, do you?
If only you were just a bit more of a go-with-the-flow
kind of guy, I might have given you a life sentence.
But since you're so industrious,
I have no choice but to have you terminated.
Even if you get rid of me, you won't win.
Motorcity won't stop fighting, with or without me.
Oh, but, my dear boy, they already have.
Look at them, fleeing like rats at the first sign of trouble.
Does that look like civic pride to you?
The people don't care about Motorcity.
No matter how much you like to pretend they do.
Now just sit back and watch your city crumble.
