(SIGHS) If only Lobstercules had
given us a less cryptic clue.
How many potential
"house under a volcanoes"
have we checked off the list,
chum?
13 now, including Pele's
Hot Pumice Massage Palace.
That was some awkward sleuthing.
Yeah, that was very,
very awkward.
All that shoe leather,
and still no lobster babies.
I don't know what to tell you,
Tick, you know?
I mean,
I've checked out every single
volcano-related place
I could find.
The Donnellys have those babies
locked up somewhere,
scared and alone.
We must leave no igneous rock
unturned, Arthur.
We've made a sacred heroes' vow.
Yeah. No,
and we're keeping it, okay?
You should have seen
how Donny treated those babies
in the sewer.
I mean, guys like that? Ugh.
Someone needs to teach him
and his brothers a lesson.
Gentle avenger,
that someone is you.
Oh, I am not sure about that.
Come on. You stood up to him
at the bank, and the casino.
Yeah, and he knocked me out
both times.
You know what they say...
Third time's a charm, chum.
- Or a strikeout.
- Arthur, we're not talking about bowling.
- Baseball.
- How about hero ball,
where every setback makes
the victory that much sweeter?
What we need now, though,
is to catch a break,
get a clue, advance the plot.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello?
MISS LINT: What the hell
did you tell Superian?
Miss Lint. Wait. Who told you
I was talking to Superian?
He did.
He seems to think that you're
his therapist or something.
Yeah, well, I assure you
I am not a therapist.
- (FAINT VOCALIZING)
- Then stop treating him,
'cause you're driving him nuts.
I am not treating him, okay?
I made one suggestion.
I told him to make a gesture.
- A gesture.
- Good work, Sigmund.
Now he's talking about
blowing people up into space.
- What people?
- All people.
ARTHUR:
Wait a second. Are you concerned
- about other people?
- What?
WOMAN (LAUGHING): Oh, Janet.
ARTHUR: It sounds like you are.
MISS LINT: No, I'm concerned
about me. If Superian goes off
the deep end,
then all my plans
just go to hell.
- Aha! So you do have plans.
- So what?
You have plans. Don't act
like you don't have plans.

Do you really not get

You were practically
raised in AEGIS,
my brother spends all
of his time there, and...
I'm a category.
Why shouldn't I take a look?
Because I told you,
they're gonna look back.
I went to a stupid open house.
Nothing happened.
You told me
you got caught off-limits
by Doctor Agent Hobbes.
I didn't give him my real name.
You didn't have to.
Hobbes is the smartest man
at AEGIS.
I'm sure
he's already seen your file.
What file? I don't have a file.
Of course you have a file.
You're Dot Everest.
You're the sister

I think we should take this.

DANGERBOAT: Hi, Arthur.
How's it going, buddy?
ARTHUR: Uh, Dangerboat?
Oh, actually,
I thought I was calling Dot.
Yeah, I'm here.
Hi. Dot, we need
to borrow your car, okay?
DOT: Um, yeah, sure,
that's fine, I guess.
Thank you, Dot.
We're on a stakeout, and

- ARTHUR: Yeah.
DANGERBOAT: Oh, hey, we're going

No specifics, DB.
We're on an unsecured channel.
Wait a second. I'm sorry. Dot,
you're going on another mission?
I can't talk about it
on the phone, Arthur.
If-if you want
to borrow the car, that's fine.
This new mission...
Will there be a body count?
Bite me, blue man.
TICK: (SIGHS)
I'll take that as a yes.
Overkill, Dot,
I think you'd better go ahead
and wait for us
to wrap up our mission.
Then we'll come
and help you do yours
- the right way.
- DOT: Yeah.
No. We're gonna take care
of this on our own.
That's right.
We've got everything we need.
Besides,
we don't want your kind of help.
Our kind of help?
What does that mean? -Superheroes.
- This is a covert operation, not a circus.
- ARTHUR: Okay, Dot.
Listen to me. You have not
been doing this kind of thing
long enough
to just jump straight
- into the deep end.
- DOT: Isn't that exactly
- what you are doing?
- Yeah, but I have a supersuit!
Well, I have something
too, Arthur.
Yeah, she does have something.
It's called combat training.
Even with the suit, she could
fold you up like a lawn chair.
TICK: Destiny's the one
doing the folding, fella,
and we are her origami swans.
But you can't be swans
if you stay lost in the woods.
We're not lost.
There are no swans in the woods!

Swans can totally be

Yes, it is! Damn it.
MAN (ON RADIO):
The citywide manhunt continues
for Lobstercules'
human accomplices, described
as four white males
with ties to the lob...
They're closing in, Donny.
Don't worry, bro.
The cops can't keep this city
locked off forever.
They'll loosen the net,
and when they do, we swim away.
Until then,
at least we're eating good, huh?
You sure you want to do this?
We've been holed up here
eating gas station food
for days.
So, yeah, Dougie,
I think we want to do this.
I'm just saying,
these babies are special.
Maybe we could train 'em
to do tricks
or sing a song
that doesn't suck.
The cops are looking
for a bunch of lobster fishermen
who've been robbing banks
with a magic lobster.
I think it might tip them off
if we go and start
a magic lobster band.
ARTHUR: The Lei-Lo Motel.
It really is a home
under a volcano.
So what do we do now?
Um, we, uh,
we watch and we wait.
Candy bar?
- Thank you.
- The sugar in it will give you energy,
and the chocolate
has antioxidants.
Mmm.
So what do we do now?
Uh, we still watch and wait.
Stakeouts are kind of humdrum.
I'm more of an action type
of guy.
- Me, too!
- Okay, look,
we-we don't have
enough intel yet.
We can't just go in there
and start raiding every room.
- Sure we can.
- No, we can't, Tick.
We have to stick
with the plan, okay?
We have to maintain finesse.
I'd like to thank you both
for-for making this
a three-person plan.
You're welcome, Kevin.
Well, I mean, we needed someone
to man the cooler.
- And to provide the cooler.
- Yeah.
I have... I have tents as well.
In case you guys want
to go camping.
ARTHUR: Mm-mm.
Well, Pebble Gray is nice,
but, uh, it might be
a little too cold.
What do you think, honey?
Agreed. Which is
why I was leaning towards,
uh, Light Ash.
But as an exterior paint,
it only comes in the oil-based,
and you know how I feel
about that, environmentally.
So I think I'm going to go...
with Seagull. (EXHALES)

this time tomorrow,
you could be sitting across

Everything could be different.
Or it's a setup.
This time tomorrow,
we could be dead.
Well, either way, it's closure.
I think Dot's right, Overkill.
This isn't just any mission.
This one's important.
I think we should probably do...

- Shut up.
- What's the thing?
- We're not doing the thing.
It's just this thing we do

Just a little for me, thanks.

Think about it.
If we catch The Duke,
this time tomorrow,
you could be sitting across
from Rathbone.
Everything could be different.
Or it's a setup.
This time tomorrow,
we could be dead.
Well, either way, it's closure.
I think Dot's right, Overkill.
This isn't just any mission.
This one's important.
I think we should probably do...
- the thing.
- Shut up.
- What's the thing?
- We're not doing the thing.
It's just this thing we do
before certain
character-defining,
all-or-nothing,
"point of no return" -type
missions.
A little tradition we have.
We're not doing the thing.
Overkill, don't be embarrassed.

Vigilantes.
In the cold, in the dark.

that's when we step out

and celebrate everything
that we fight for.
