- That is not my sister! - Okay. So, what would you do?

Delete... it.

Welcome to Stanton's. We got sweets. We got reads. All your wishes guaranteed.

- Holy shit! - Where did you get this?

I got it from this dude with a magical red cloak,

and I think it's scarring his whole body.

Just play this shit like we planned it.

And we'll be the ones sitting on our asses like kings in some fancy-ass mansion.

Yeah, his fancy mansion.

Freeze! Come on, kid.

- Promise me, this won't blow back on me. - I swear.

Stane faces a multitude of charges,

including illegal possession of bionic technology

and domestic terrorism.

You and I have someone in common. Riri Williams.

Take my offer, and you get to create

a whole new life with this passion of yours.

As Zeke stane.

Parker, you got anything for me?

Yeah, I got plans for you.

Okay, let's shut this up for the one time.

Gotta get it for the 'gram, gotta get it for the 'gram, all right?

So, just to let you know

- your girl finna be bigger than jobs. - Right.

- Bigger than gates. - Right.

- Bigger than pym. Bigger than stark. - Right. Yeah.

- Combined. - Okay.

- Okay, okay. One more question, though. - Okay.

How you gonna do that from Chicago?

Don't you have to go to the bay or Seattle or someplace like that?

Nuh. No, I do not. Okay?

The whole industry will flock to Chicago just to work with your girl,

- 'cause I ain't never leaving this city. - Exactly.

- Not never. - Period.

Period. Okay, what about you?

What do you want more than anything?

A night with Thor and his hammer.

I see, now we gotta cut the video off.

- Why would you say that? - Okay, let me start over. No, I just.

I just wanna be happy.

The hell?

Get me out! Let me out!

I got the suit, and I'm headed to you guys now.

I've been trying to tell you. Science will not solve your magic problem.

This is bigger than you think.

Dormoomoo the cosmic conqueror.

What the hell does that even mean?

My bad.

It's dormammu. Which means you've officially bitten off

- a hell of a lot more than you can chew. - Nah, I can chew a lot.

I'm aware.

So you're telling me this puffy-ass cloud with eyes holds apocalyptic power?

I seen pigeons on the south side scarier than this.

This is serious, riri.

You could be dealing with one of the most powerful beings in the universe.

How sure are you about all of this?

Like a solid... 50%.

Okay, so why would a ruler of a whole dimension be handing out

outerwear to humans?

My best guess is to come to earth.

- For what? - I don't know.

- To eat it? - Magic, zero.

Look, when you mentioned those crazy magic scars

on this dude, Parker, I did research.

Years ago, there was this rogue sorcerer named kaecilius

and he used to Stan dormammu and his dark magic.

Look, he ended up with these purple scars all over his body

and got these weird visions.

Sound familiar? Right.

This dude kaecilius tried to unleash dormammu on earth

- in exchange for eternal life. - This still don't make no sense.

Why would dormammu give Parker powers?

Parker's not some evil wizard. He's just a guy who wants enough commas

and zeros in his bank account to feel worthy of respect.

Are you sure about that?

Beings like dormammu don't care who Parker is, what he wants,

they just need a puppet to carry out whatever sinister plan

they're coming up with, and honestly, Parker, blinded by ambition,

easy to manipulate.

So how do I take care of Parker?

You probably gotta shut him down.

Like...

For good.

There's gotta be another way.

You're dealing with magic now, and magic always comes at a price,

and sometimes it's a heavy one.

Let's... Let's talk about this later, okay?

- What's going on? - Evening, folks.

Unfortunately, this place is now closed.

Health code violation. There's a murderous snake in the building.

He said we're closed.

Yo, close up, homie. I'm gone.

Okay, unless you can zap yourself to an alternate white castle,

I suggest you leave now.

You don't gotta tell me twice. Are you gonna be okay?

- I got this. - Right.

Come on, Natalie, answer.

Out of all the places to come get late-night eats,

you choose to come here?

What? I like white castle.

- Let's just kill her already. - Okay.

Get her, roz!

- Get her! - Get over here!

Come on.

You like that?

Seriously?

That headline tomorrow is gonna be rough.

"Girl genius dies."

My death won't make the news.

Well, damn, that was dark.

- Yeah, but I low-key felt it. - Yeah, high-key.

Can y'all do me a favor? Just...

Just make it quick.

One clean shot.

Sure.

- Whoa! - Hey, riri.

Hey, girl, hey.

Aw!

You really think a locked door is gonna keep me out?

Okay.

Kee!

Yo, let's make this quick.

Your girl's got a date.

Come on, clown.

You don't have to do this. You know, I.

I thought we were cool.

That...

Was before you killed John.

It's not like that. I didn't mean to.

Clown, are you okay? Clown?

Hey, clown.

I'm trying to... Clown!

Listen, I didn't like the guy either, but we were working through our shit.

Anyway, he was part of the team.

What team?

Everyone on Parker's crew is disposable. He killed rampage.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Come on, clown.

Ask him.

Listen, riri.

I'm done talking. Okay?

Come out and let's fight.

Is this thing on?

Shit.

Yo, she's getting away.

I got eyes on her.

Whoa.

You good?

I ate too much.

R-i-p your intestines.

Yo, what happened to my suit?

Your little friend tried to come for me.

And I'm fine. Thank you for asking.

You left me without any protection. They could've killed me.

I'm sorry. I needed some time.

When Xavier saw me.

I wasn't expecting for him to react that way.

I'm... I'm hurt.

- Hurt? - Okay.

You are a series of codes, okay?

Numbers and symbols.

Is that why you were considering deleting me

at the junkyard when Xavier asked?

I am not the problem here, ri.

You are.

You know what?

I don't need this. Shoot.

I'm going to bed. Yeah.

- Bed? - Peace.

Rest well. Don't let the bedbugs bite.

Nat, wake up. Nat, I need you!

Yo, look, I'm sorry.

Can you please... nat!

Hey, riri.

Hello.

What did you do to yourself?

Pretty neat, right?

I was bailed out by a mutual friend, Parker Robbins.

Compelling guy. Got me my stuff back.

What does he want in return?

You.

You know, I never understood what my father's fascination was

with power until now.

Come on, Joe.

This ain't you.

This is me. It's a better me.

I never meant for you to be involved in any of this.

Okay? And I can still make it right

- if you just let me try. - It's too late.

At least we'll always have alanis.

You know, I spent my whole life

trying not to become...

Obadiah stane

just to find myself right where he left off,

taking down an iron...

Freak!

Please don't.

Please.

You need to leave Chicago now.

If Parker finds out you're still alive, he won't be so forgiving.

Natalie.

You have lost your damn mind, riri Williams,

and don't expect me to help you find it.

You fly off with this dangerous thing from another dimension,

and you can't answer a text?

What happened?

Mom, I need your help.

Okay. My.

What... let me see.

Baby.

I wish you came to me sooner.

I thought I had it under control.

Sorry I kept you in the dark.

- Are you mad? - Yeah.

But mostly, I'm grateful that I still have my baby in front of me,

and that you're safe.

Mom, I said there are crazies in these streets looking for me.

We shouldn't even be sitting down right now.

We should be packing our bags.

Riri, you can't keep runnin'.

Chicago is not safe for us.

I'm not talking about Chicago, riri. I'm talking about you. Y

you can't keep running from yourself, because everywhere you go,

whether it's here or Cambridge, this comes with you.

I'm not following.

Your obsession with this suit is the reason you got kicked outta mit.

It got you involved with a crime boss and a lunatic

who turned himself into a robot, and it's the reason you ain't got a man.

Nothin' is worth all that damn trouble.

- My suit is special to me. - Why?

Out of all the things you could've built with that big brain of yours,

- why an iron suit? - Because I could.

You wanna try that again?

I just wanna understand.

Help me understand.

Because it was the only thing I could do to protect us.

After Gary and Natalie died...

That night I just froze. I couldn't help them.

I just had to watch them bleed out

until the paramedics came one minute too late.

I will never let that happen again.

If I lost you too... no, no.

It is my job to make you feel safe.

Not the other way around.

Do you hear me?

I hear you, mom...

But this is so much bigger than you.

Without that suit, I can't protect us, and that is why we need to leave now.

You know how when people can sense danger,

they either fight, fly, or freeze?

Baby, you have flown, you have frozen,

- but you haven't tried fighting. - My fights get people hurt.

Riri, there are some demons we just can't outrun,

but you don't have to fight alone. I'm here to help.

I'll fight them with you.

Me too.

I'm sorry, my ba... my bad.

How am I even supposed to fight?

Okay, can you show me the thing so we can go?

This is the thing.

Dad's garage.

Cool. Got it. Let's go.

- Riri... - how can you be here?

Especially at a time like this.

- We have to go. - Riri, listen to me.

You built things in this garage that most people couldn't dream of.

Can't you see that?

All I see...

Is where Natalie used to be.

And then I wish that she was still here...

To do my hair and talk shit, and then I get angry that she's not.

- This place took so much from us. - Yes.

But it also gave so much to us.

Just... hold on.

You remember this? "Property of iron head"?

I don't know what that is.

You sure about that?

Come on! Where are they?

Dad! Dad! Dad!

Have you seen my welding goggles?

I need to finish my hydraulic modulation device.

Okay, where would it be? Where would it be?

You need a break.

Do you think Mae jemison took breaks?

I don't think so. She was too busy breaking barriers.

You are eight years old.

You need to be outside riding a bike, catching some fresh air.

Your inventions can wait.

I want my goggles.

Just give me one song. You can get these goggles right back.

Fine.

Why did you turn it off?

What was the point of projecting that memory?

To show you that when you try to forget...

All the memories that make you sad, you wind up...

Forgetting the ones worth remembering.

Yeah.

Spin it around.

Give me that spin. You ready for it?

Come on, come on. Come on.

Follow me, watch this.

There you go. Right.

Ooh. Ooh. Ooh.

Ooh!

Let me see, let me see, let me see.

- Let it go. - This is why I don't do breaks.

It didn't even make a scratch.

You got a good old iron head.

Come here.

Thank you.

I'm sorry...

For what I said earlier about how you're a problem,

- and... - no, no, no, that's... it's all good.

No, it's not.

I didn't mean it.

Any of it. You're

you're a glitch, but you're my glitch.

Thanks.

You guys are right.

Chicago is home. Always has been.

There used to be a time where I couldn't imagine being anywhere else.

I wanna fight for that feeling again.

It's only a matter of time before Parker realizes that I'm not dead.

I need a suit, and I have nothing to build it with.

Well, I was thinking...

Maybe this could help.

- Ta-da! - How?

When I realized you were stayin' home, I bought it back.

When dad gave me this car, he told me it'd always keep me safe.

Thick and thin.

Let's get to work.

It's done.

Where's the rest of the suit?

Collateral damage.

How did you get rid of her?

- By killing her. - I love this story already.

- Go on. - There's not much to tell.

I just, you know...

Kinda knocked her out. She went down. Boom. Dead.

You know what this story lacks?

Drama.

Yeah. And you know, a story with no drama,

no emotion, no detail...

It lacks believability.

No.

Not all of it, anyway.

Riri kicked all our asses.

She would've gotten away if Zeke hadn't stopped her,

and the only way to stop her was to destroy her suit.

So he ripped it from her body, piece by piece,

and then buried that iron-bitch in a pile of rubble.

That's how you tell a story.

Now that riri's gone,

let's get back to business, shall we?

We're finally ready for the next hit.

Don't look at tomorrow as just another job.

Tomorrow, we conquer.

And get some rest.

You all look like shit.

Let me walk you out.

Yo.

Can you do me a favor?

As long as I can take a nap first.

I need you to hack into some autopsy reports for me.

You know, riri's gone, so...

There's an open spot in the crew.

I am not interested.

You'd still be locked up if it weren't for me.

I took care of your riri problem. That was the deal.

You're right. A deal's a deal.

Just think on it.

Riri turned down my offer, too, you know?

Then she changed her mind.

I have a feeling you'll be doin' the same.

Are you kidding me?

Riri, you genius!

Riri, you idiot!

Well, back to the drawing board, ri.

Okay. This is everything from the list that I could find in the junkyard.

And there's a certain young man who wants to join the team.

Don't get it twisted. I'm only here for my wagon back.

And you owe me, like, $600 at this point.

It's not the young man I was expecting.

Shit.

Always something.

Always gotta be something. Always gonna stay something.

I mean, I don't know why I'm tryin' to be somebody's hero,

- but here I am. Still. - Riri.

- I mean, I might as... - riri.

- You good? - No.

No, I'm not good, okay? I have added everything

I can think of to go up against somebody

that's got a frickin' demonic god in their corner. Okay?

But I can't find a sustainable power source

to support all these add-ons.

They're draining the battery.

What I need is something comparable to Parker's hood.

I need something that connects me to an infinite energy supply.

I got a plug on two extension cords.

Just say the word.

As much as it pains me to say this.

I think I have to fight magic with magic.

Everybody's gotta be on their a-game.

Our next mission is gonna require everyone's focus.

Communication needs to be flawless.

One wrong move, and it all goes to shit. Any questions?

I got a question.

Did you kill Stuart?

Excuse me?

Go ahead. Look at it.

That says that Stuart od'd, but we all know rampage didn't do drugs.

- Watch your tone. - Or what?

You gonna kill me too?

I have nothin' to hide.

I found you when you were nothin'.

Gave you purpose.

A home.

Look, maybe we should just take a minute... and regroup.

We got a big job at hand.

Agreed. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding.

That guy wants blood.

Riri was right. You're a fraud.

- Yo, just... - get your hands off her! - Stop! Stop!

Parker! This isn't you.

- That hood's got you messed up! - No.

No, it's got me right... For the first time ever.

- Hey, we didn't sign up for this shit! - Then leave!

- What? - You all turn on me like that,

and you think you still work here? You're fired.

All of you.

Why're you still standin' there?

Get out!

Fine. Let's go, jer.

All that about family?

You're gonna steal gas from the king of darkness?

Dormammu is more of a lord.

I don't like the sound of this.

Yeah, I don't wanna be that tethered to the dark dimension.

What if I end up like Parker?

Just how sure are you that Parker's magic even comes from there?

- 47% sure. - Forty-seven?

- But you said 50 last time. - I was rounding up.

Well, this is a real downer.

Hey, black people.

Thought y'all might need a little boost.

All right! Coffee!

Hey, chill, Landon. We got apple juice for you.

Disrespectful.

Reporting for duty, captain.

Hope I'm not too late.

Right on time.

I read your note.

- Was it too cheesy? - Yeah.

But that captain kirk quote got to me.

"Of my friend, I can only say this."

"Of all the souls I've encountered on my travels, hers was the most human."

- Well, "hers" was referring to... - Natalie.

Yeah, I know.

I just wish you would've told me about her, that's all.

And I'm sorry for that.

Please know I never set out to make an AI in nat's image.

And if you wanna get technical,

she's actually just a holographic manifestation of my brain.

Having nat around makes me feel more like myself again.

Like she's supposed to be here.

And to be honest, I don't really wanna go back to the way life was without her.

All right, look.

I'm not okay with it,

but I could try to understand how much she means to you.

So we're building a new suit?

What for?

Ri?

What'd you do?

I'll explain it to you while we work.

Hey, nat.

Sorry.

Hey! Hey!

I'm calling the cops.

Please don't, Heather. You're never gonna see me again.

I knew you were bad news.

I have a sixth sense about these things.

Good for you. Bye.

Your poor father is probably rolling in his grave

knowing what you've done to his legacy.

You know what? I am sick of your shit, Heather!

No, no.

- Hey, you need to back up. - Do I?

- Yes. - Really?

- I know karate. I'll take you down. - I'm in your driveway.

Those flowers are really beautiful.

Jack! Jack! Call the police!

Zeke! What's good?

You don't like the upgrade?

What'd you do to me?

Well, as a thank you for getting back all your stuff,

I now have control over all the weird science

swirling around in your body.

So now, when I say jump...

You jump.

When I say kill anyone who gets in my way

that was not part of our agreement, hood.

I'm not your puppet.

More like a rock 'em sock 'em robot.

Now, let's go. We have somewhere to be.

All right, come on.

Where are we?

Get us in.

Absolutely not.

This is zone a to zone b, checking the front gate alarm.

Copy that.

Hey, you guys need to leave.

I'm sorry.

It wasn't me, I swear.

Hey!

Really?

This is insane. You know that, right?

Keep people out.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Nice to see you again.

Shit.

Wow.

That scotch, on those pants?

That's a thousand-dollar spill, art.

What's this about?

I'll pour you another?

Still drinking the same glenlivet, I see.

And you're still breaking into places where you aren't wanted.

The guard on the other end of that button is all tied up.

You okay?

I'm fine.

You hired more security since last time.

You and your friend left a lasting impression.

- That what this is about? - No. No.

I'm not after the safe anymore.

I want something bigger.

It's all there. Boilerplate.

Boilerplate.

I'm not signing shit.

Let me walk you through it.

I already have majority stake in all the top-performing companies

in your portfolio.

Think of me as an invisible partner...

With controlling interest.

Tnnl, gannon, pro coin, and the list goes on and on.

But now, now I want the crown jewels.

You're gonna sign over artworks, this mansion,

everything that was promised to me.

You strong arm a few start ups and you think you're a ceo?

You're a small-time crook in ridiculous getup.

You'd have to kill me first.

Yeah, that can be arranged.

What's that on your face?

What'd you do to yourself?

What do you want, Parker?

If you wanted my company, you could've done this hostile takeover remotely.

So why are you here?

I had to look you in the eye and ask...

What kind of father puts his son out of the house at 12?

I tried with you. I really did.

But you were a liability.

"Liability"?

I was a child.

After mom died, the only way to even get you to pay attention to me

was if I was in trouble.

What'd you expect?

I don't know.

I didn't want you.

So I thought it would be better for both of us to cut our losses and move on.

Nothing personal.

It wasn't personal. Nothing personal.

Yeah.

Sign it in ink,

or sign it in blood.

You think you deserve all this, but I'd bet good money,

I mean, real good money,

that to get where you are in this moment, you screwed a few people.

Probably some who loved you.

It's the cost of doing business.

But the kick is...

It's never gonna be enough.

Stay...

And I'll kill you.

Talk to the cops...

And I'll hunt you.

Now get the hell out of my house.

- Do y'all think we should add, like... - no!

- No. - Girl, it's ready.

Go ahead and try it on.

All right.

Well, here goes nothing.

Dang! Miss riri!

Well, let's see if it works.

Power me up.

Let's fight magic with magic.

Guess that's my cue.

You sure about this?

Remember...

Magic is a mutual exchange.

There's always a cost.

I'm sure.

Hey, don't worry.

You got this.

Yep.

Okay.

Whoa.

See? I told you.

Riri?

- What's going on? - I don't know.

Shit!

Riri.

Something, something's off.

- Zelma, turn it off. - Can you fix it?

I'm trying.

- What's happening? - What is this? What's happening?

- Zelma! - I don't think the reactor

can't handle the magic and Natalie.

- Ri? - Girls, run!

- Natalie, just hold on, okay? - Riri!

- Can you hear me? - Why is she glitching?

- Am I gonna be okay? - It's okay.

- I'm gonna fix it! - Am I dying?

Hold on. I'm gonna tether you to the laptop.

- Help me! Riri, please! - Just hold on. All right?

- Ri, I can't... I can't stop this! - Please, no!

- Ri, I'm scared! - Just hold on! We're so close.

- Do something, zelma! - I love you.

- Natalie. Nat. - Riri?

- Do something! - I love you, ri.

- No. - Where is she?

- My god. - Where'd she go?
