into the mightiest of mortal beings..

...Captain Marvel!

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

Oh, here they come.

- How'd it go, Gary? - Uh, okay..

I told the police everything I knew

about Brock and his operations.

Now, they're taking us over to the DA's office

to make an official statement.

- What about Mark? - Well..

He's decided not to talk.

Well, I'm glad to see you're doing the right thing.

Let's go.

- Thanks, Billy. - Glad we could help, Gary.

- Good luck, Gary. Bye. - Thanks a lot.

Man, Gary's got a lots of guts.

You know, if I were doing a newscast

this would make a great story.

Well, but you're on vacation.

So let's vacate, huh?

[instrumental music]

[engine revving]

Boy, Mark Twain sure was a great writer.

Oh, he was marvelous. He's my favorite author.

You know, I've read "The Connecticut Yankee"

twenty-eight times.

- Twenty eight times? - I know most of it by heart.

Would you like to hear a few pages?

- No. - Oh.

How about one page?

[chuckling]

[device beeping]

Uh-oh, the Elders are callin'.

[instrumental music]

Oh, Elders, fleet and strong and wise

appear before my seeking eyes.

(Solomon) Billy, your work with the two young men is not yet complete.

But everything's been taken care of, Solomon.

They're on the way to the district attorney.

Billy, no journey is finished until the last step is taken.

But what could possibly go wrong now?

There are few things worse than one who poses as a friend

'but in truth, is an enemy.'

Whereas there is only one thing finer

than a friend you can trust

and that's a friend who will trust you.

Can you give me any more information, Mercury?

We must leave now, Billy. Farewell.

You know, Mentor, the Elders are getting harder and harder

for me to pick up on.

- Congratulations. - Why?

Well, it is wisely said that confusion

is the first step in the realization

that we have much to learn.

Oh.

What does that mean?

I don't know. I never understood it either.

[both chuckling]

[engine sputters]

[engine revving]

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

What's this?

What's the trouble?

Oh, I don't know.

Just stopped runnin'.

Did you get some gas recently?

Yeah, I got gas last night.

[music continues]

- Brock, how'd you-- - Cool it.

[chuckles]

[tires screeching]

[engine revving]

Wow.

That's the coolest move I've ever seen.

- Is he far out, Gary? - Where are you taking us?

You'll find out soon enough.

[dramatic music]

Hey, wait a minute, kid.

I understand you've been finking on me, man.

Well, I don't call it finking.

I think I'm doing the right thing.

Hey..

You know, if I go to jail, you go too.

'I mean, you just escaped in a stolen police car.'

Look, why don't you take a little walk

and think it over, huh?

[music continues]

- Hey. - Huh?

I appreciate you keeping your mouth shut.

- Oh, yeah. - Hey, wait, wait..

Here's somethin' for you.

Here. Huh?

Look, uh, how'd you like to do me another favor?

- Sure, Brock. - Great. Look..

Keep your eye on that little fink, okay?

- Yeah. - And keep in touch.

- Okay. Sure. - Good.

Later.

[dramatic music]

[engine sputters]

[engine revving]

Let's go.

Hey, hey, hey, man. Where're you goin'?

You heard what Brock said. Get lost.

Yeah, I heard.

Gary, you are askin' for trouble.

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

[clanking]

Don't jack it up too high now, Billy.

You, um..

You loosen all the nut bolts first

then remove them.

[music continues]

[chuckles]

[clanking]

And don't rub it on your foot.

You know, you're really starting to..

[phone buzzes]

Saved by the bell.

Just hold that for me, will you, please?

Thank you.

[grunts]

Hello?

W-what? Just a moment.

Billy..

...telephone.

Who is it?

It's a friend who trusts you.

Whereas there is only one thing finer

than a friend you can trust

and that's a friend who will trust you.

- Hello? Hey, Gary. - 'It's Gary.'

Billy, something's happened. You gotta help us.

What.. Easy, Gary, easy.

(Gary) We never made it to the DA's office.

Brock stole the car we were ridin' in.

(Billy) 'What about Mark? Is he with you?'

Yeah. Yeah, and he's not too happy about me calling you.

Well, okay, I'll meet you. Where are you?

I'll meet you.

You know, I'm beginning to understand

what the Elders were talkin' about.

You gotta believe us!

Mark and I were forced to make that escape.

Come on, man, let's split, we're already in more trouble

than we can handle.

No, Mark, you're never in trouble

if you tell the truth.

Yeah, but, well, we're afraid of Brock.

A-and without any evidence, it's just our word against his.

Yeah, it would help to have some evidence, alright.

I think I know where to get some evidence.

- You do? - Yeah.

Mark, you're the key man.

Me?

Okay, Gary.

Whatever your plan is, you can count on me.

[instrumental music]

Yeah, well, since Gary still has the key to Brock's office

he shouldn't have any trouble getting in.

The plan sounds good, Billy.

Uh-oh.

Something wrong?

The way you said "sounds good" sounds bad.

[chuckles]

Yeah, I guess I am concerned about Mark.

Yeah, well, I know what you mean, but I think

we oughta give him the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

Still, I feel the police should be advised

that the boys have not run away.

Who knows, Mark may come through this

and surprise us all, huh?

- Brock? Uh, this is Mark. - 'Yeah.'

- What's wrong? - 'Uh, Gary's back in town..'

And he's up to somethin'.

Yeah, I'm supposed to help by getting you out of your office.

Thanks for telling me, kid. I won't forget it.

[dramatic music]

[engine sputters]

[engine revving]

[music continues]

Looks like Mark pulled off his end of the bargain, alright.

Yeah. Now it's my turn.

- You wait for Mark. - Alright.

- Look, be careful, Gary. - Yeah.

[music continues]

Great, with this evidence, and your testimony

we got Brock dead to the rights.

Hey, where's Mark? He should've been here by now.

Billy, no journey is finished

until the last step is taken.

But what could possibly go wrong now?

There are few things worse than one who poses as a friend

but in truth, is an enemy.

Gary, I think Mark set us up.

- What? - Yeah, come on, let's split.

[tires screeching]

[dramatic music]

See, Brock? I was right, wasn't I?

Alright, kid, let's have it.

Come on, let's have it.

Sure.

Catch.

- Brock! - 'Get to the police!'

Get the kid!

[engine revving]

[tires screech]

[engine revving]

- Billy, are you alright? - Yeah, I'm fine.

- But Gary is in big trouble. - Yes, I can see that.

You know, I think this is the case for the police

and Captain Marvel.

Right on.

Shazam!

[thunderclap]

[pulsating]

[instrumental music]

[tires screeching]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[tires screeching]

[grunting]

[music continues]

[rumbling]

That'll hold them until the police can get here.

Now to slow Gary down.

[intense music]

[tires screeching]

[music continues]

[tires screeching]

[music continues]

[tires screeching]

[grunting]

[music continues]

Better have those brakes checked, Gary.

[sighs]

Get in.

[engine sputtering]

[engine revving]

Well, Gary, thanks to you, Brock and his whole

drug operation are finished.

And I am finished with drugs, man.

They arebad news.

Hey, where's Billy?

Oh, well, he's around.

Closer than you think.

[instrumental music]

What is it, Gary?

Well, that, that statement I just gave the police..

I still sort of feel like I finked on Mark.

Gary, you kept Brock

from ruining a lot of other people's lives.

And as for Mark, you're the best friend

he ever had.

You kept him from getting in so deep

he might never have gotten out.

You probably saved his life.

I hardly think that "fink" is the appropriate word.

Once your probation is over

you'll see all of this a lot clearer, Gary.

I think you'll be proud of the way you acted.

Well, I hope so.

I know so.

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

Hi.

Today you saw how important it is

for all of us to be responsible.

Responsible for what we see and what we do.

It's easy to let yourself get dragged

into doing the wrong thing

but it's generally a lot harder to get yourself out again.

See you next week.
