Stargirl (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 7 - Summer School: Chapter Seven - full transcript

[bell tolling]

[sighs]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Father Thomas] Would you like
to talk today, my child, or just sit?

I...

Think I wanna talk.

Is the devil real?

[Father Thomas] Have you
heard him whispering to you?

-Because we all--
-I think I've seen him.

Oh, the devil is everywhere,



tempting us at every turn.

That's what confession is for.

My question is...

What did the devil make you do?

This is isn't about me.

I mean, it is, but...

Okay, something terrible has happened.

God isn't here on Earth
to stop the devil, so...

Shouldn't we?

Because if we don't,
more people will get hurt.

I'm not sure I understand.

If I kill something truly evil,

can I ever be forgiven?

[Father Thomas] Kill something?



[high-pitched feedback buzzes]

[grunting in pain]

[grunts]

[Father Thomas] What have you done?

[groaning]

[Father Thomas] What have you done?

[Wildcat] I watched Henry die.

[shuddering]

And now I'm gonna watch you die.

[Father Thomas] Yolanda.

[breathing heavily]

[grunting in pain]

[groans]

[breathing heavily]

The devil is real.

And he's in Blue Valley.

[door opens and closes]

[eerie music playing]

[fanfare music playing]

[Maria] Oh, no. The sign.

Let's go get it, Jimmy. Come on.

[ominous music playing]

[Cosmic Staff warbling]

-It's been days, Pat.
-[Pat] I know.

Eclipso hasn't made a move.

No, the staff, I mean.

It's getting better,
but it's still so weak.

It may have hurt Eclipso
but he hurt it right back.

[Cosmic Staff warbling]

He killed Cindy and Isaac
right in front of us.

And maybe The Shade too.

Nothing in the news since then.

No deaths, no disappearances.

Nothing reported,
but how do we really know?

I mean, he could've left Blue Valley.

But the weather has only gotten worse.

[Courtney] Then why is he still here?

He escaped the black diamond,
so, what does he want now?

What could Blue Valley mean
to someone like Eclipso?

[Pat] Whatever the reason,
I know it's not good.

[Janet] We are going to go broke
acting like a charity.

Jordan Mahkent, God rest his soul,

founded The American Dream
to put Blue Valley first.

Some sewing machine factory
in Oakville is not our problem.

We can't go bankrupt
saving everyone else.

But that's 177 people we'd be
putting out of work, Janet.

And I feel for those folks. I truly do.

But the road to hell
is paved with good intentions.

Well, there must be some way
we could help them.

What is your proposal, Barbara?

We could liquidate our back stock.

We wouldn't be making money,
but we would be creating a cash flow.

Jordan Mahkent wouldn't have
given up on Oakville.

All in agreement with Barbara?

[clears throat]

Meeting adjourned.

[Barbara sighs]

[clears throat]

[eerie music playing]

[Shade] Emily?

Help me.

[people chattering indistinctly]

[music playing on record]

-[thuds]
-Oh.

Hey, sweetie.
Sorry, didn't mean to startle you.

You doing okay, hon?

Sure.

Grumpy Joe's in your section again.

But I'll take care of him.

I don't know what I would do
without you. Thank you.

[Joe] I've been waitin'
forever and a day.

Well, you gotta wait your turn, Joe.

If this wasn't the only diner in town,
I wouldn't be waitin' here at all.

I want coffee now.

[screams]

I thought you were holding out your mug.

-Joe, are you okay?
-I'm so sorry.

[Joe gasping and grunting]

[Maria] I'm sorry.

I don't know what happened.

You've been working late for weeks.

[Maria] Because I need the money
and my mom is sick and I need--

-Go home.
-[Maria] But I need to work.

I'll see you tomorrow.

-[Richie] Joe, I'm sorry about this.
-[Joe] Get your hands off.

Maria?

We'll get this taken care of,
don't worry.

[Richie] Jimmy, get him some ice?

That was a little scary, huh?

It's okay. It was just an accident.

It's blue raspberry.

Yum.

[chattering indistinctly]

[sighing]

[Courtney] And you're sure
you can't locate Eclipso?

[Beth] I don't even know
how to track him anymore, Court.

Summer's not summer.

There are clouds and storms
moving all over Blue Valley.

The trees are bare in July.

What about Chuck? Or Dr. McNider,
has he said anything?

Nothing. I've been trying to reach out,

but I don't even know how the goggles
connected to him in the first place.

If Dr. McNider is alive,

Pat thinks the voice I heard
could've been Eclipso.

After everything that's happened,

I'm not sure what's real anymore.

Me neither.

Well, let's keep looking.

Stay safe.

Okay. You, too.

[sighs]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Cameron, oh, my gosh!

-Hey.
-Um...

[chuckles] Uh...

Yeah, that surprise turned out
way less fun than I thought.

-Uh, sorry about that.
-No, I'm sorry.

Um...

-How's it going?
-[chuckles] Good.

Yeah, good, good.

Uh, my dad and I, we used to set up
decorations for the Fourth of July.

I didn't know if you wanted to help out.

Um...

Yeah. Sure. [chuckles]

-[cell phone vibrates]
-Okay.

Sorry. [chuckles]

[Cameron] It's fine.

Courtney, if you have to go, it's...

It's fine.

No.

I'm exactly where I need to be
right now.

Okay.

[chuckles]

Boy, they really did
a number on him, huh?

Don't worry about it. We'll get this
bad boy back in shape, huh?

Now that you brought me aboard
the giant robot train,

after I almost died.

Where do you wanna start first?
The fists? The flamethrower?

I had this killer idea though,
I was thinking about for a drill,

where we can put up the left side.

Okay. We'll start with the lug nuts.

There's a lot of lug-nuts in there.

Welcome to JSA Training.

Lesson 101, the importance of patience.

How have you stomped the fun out
of this already?

Did you do that or did they?

[bell chimes]

[people chattering indistinctly]

[high-pitched feedback buzzing]

[Brainwave] Yolanda.

I'm here.

[grunting in pain]

[feedback stops]

[breathes heavily]

[Courtney laughs] I don't know,
you're the artist.

[Courtney and Cameron
chattering indistinctly]

[indistinct chattering continues]

[Courtney giggles] Teamwork!

[bell tolling]

[Father Thomas]
Your mother just wants to help.

Uh, I haven't shared
anything you told me

in confidence, Yolanda, but--

How can you drag Father Thomas
into your little problems like this?

Miss Montez. Stop.

What Yolanda needs is love and support.

You've had enough judgment
this past year.

[Mrs. Montez sighs]

[door opens]

[upbeat music playing]

[Mrs. Montez] Yolanda!

[panting]

[Principal Sherman grunts]

I'm sorry, uh...

The lesson was right here,
I thought. [chuckles]

I haven't taught in so long,
I'm still a bit rusty.

Until Mr. Deisinger returns,

which might be longer than anticipated,
I'm afraid,

I'll do my best. [chuckles]

Okay. Um, have you guys talked
about the Aztecs yet?

[students groan] Yeah.

Okay. Um, no Aztecs.

Uh, what about the Incas?

[students groan]

Oh, great. [chuckles]

Let me see. Um, the Incas...

The Incan empire was the largest
of pre-Columbian America.

With their political and military hub
centered in the city...

[continues indistinctly]

[cell phone vibrating]

[Principal Sherman]
...thirteenth century and lasted

until they were conquered
by the Spanish in 1572.

Now from 1438 to 1533,

the Incas comprised

much of Western South America.

-Centered in the Andean Mountains...
-[cell phone buzzes]

...and using conquest
and peaceful assimilation...

[Yolanda] Henry?

[Principal Sherman]
And as the pre-ceremonial center...

in the Andes called Chavín de Huántar.

And it's temple was discovered...

[electricity buzzing]

Henry?

-[high-pitched feedback buzzing]
-[grunting in pain]

-[breathing heavily]
-[feedback stops]

[gasps]

Henry!

[voices whispering indistinctly]

[whimpering] Henry.

Henry, how?

You never forgave me.

I'm at a bad place because of that.

Because of you.

I'm burning.

[sobbing]

No, Henry. I...

I forgive you.

My father will never forgive you.

[high-pitched feedback buzzing]

[screaming]

[Brainwave] There you are.

Stay away.

I can't.

I'm with you...

[breathing heavily]

Forever.

-No!
-Yolanda?

[Principal Sherman] Yolanda,
are you okay?

[breathing heavily]

[door opens]

What happened?

It's not just the sounds, Court.

I see Brainwave now.

And Henry.

This has to be Eclipso.

This has been going on
long before Eclipso.

This is my punishment. [sobs]

[Courtney] For what? No.

For protecting yourself?

Just forget it.

Yolanda, no. Please talk to me.

-I'm here for you.
-You don't get it anyway.

You've never had to make a choice
like I did.

-Uh, let's talk to Rick and Beth.
-No.

You think you have to face this alone,
but you don't.

They love you as much as I do.

And let's tell them what happened.

They'll understand.

And what if they don't?

They will.

And then we can face this as a team.

[grunting]

[pants]

By the time I'm done with this,
it won't be Eclipso that kills us,

it's gonna be old age.

Well, thing is,
most of the time, this job,

it's about working twice as hard
on the tedious tasks,

just making sure that
everything is prepared

for when it's needed, okay?

And until Eclipso is found,

being prepared
is the only thing we can do.

And it's, uh, lefty-loosey,
righty-tighty. Okay.

-Why don't you just do it?
-No. You wanted to learn.

That's great, okay?

Wax on, wax off.

You gotta wax this thing, too?

Okay, uh, Zeke's dropping off some parts
for the control pod.

I'm gonna be out front.

Keep on wrenching, pal.
You're doing good.

Keep at it.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[sighs]

[grunts and sighs]

[voices whispering indistinctly]

A diamond.

[electricity buzzing]

Dad?

Whoa.

Cool.

[eerie music playing]

[yells]

[yells in pain]

Get off! Get off!

[grunting]

Mike! Mike! It's okay. It's okay.

What is it?

There's leeches.

[breathing heavily] There's leeches...
There's leeches on my arm.

It's okay.

Hey, don't touch those ever, all right?

[Mike] Why do you still have them?

The diamond was Eclipso's
only weakness before.

And I'm hoping it still is.

[Rick] So, why are we meeting here?

And where's Pat?

Fixing STRIPE with Mike.

Good.

He can stomp on Eclipso like a bug.

I don't know if I could do this, Court.

[Beth] Do what?

What's going on?

[mouthing]

I...

I killed Brainwave.

What?

I thought he died
when the tunnels caved in on him.

I know we said that
and we're sorry, but--

Brainwave made himself look like Henry.

He was talking to me,
he was apologizing,

but I knew it wasn't him.

So I used my claw.

I used my claws and...

I watched him die.

Well...

I would have killed Brainwave, too,

if I had the chance.

Then why didn't you kill Solomon Grundy?

[sighs]

My hour was up.

Was it?

Or did you just let Grundy go
because you couldn't do it?

Because you're a better person than me?

Yolanda, you did what you had to do...

for our team.

Right, Beth?

Beth?

I don't know.

[softly] I'm sorry.

[Rick sighs]

Well, I do.

[sniffles]

None of you are capable
of doing what I did. [chuckles]

I know what's gonna happen
when we find Eclipso,

we're gonna have to kill him.

So who's gonna do it?

You, Rick?

You?

Court?

No.

And I don't want you to.

I don't want you
to have to live with that guilt.

To know that you'll always be a killer
in God's eye.

So that means it's on me.

I'm gonna have to kill Eclipso
to save the rest of you.

I'm gonna have to be the JSA member
that kills.

[Courtney] Uh, Yolanda, please wait.

[door closes]

I'm sorry.

[sighs]

[Father Thomas] Are you all right,
my child?

[gasps and shudders]

[sniffles]

[exhales] Um...

I murdered someone.

[sobs]

Father Thomas?

[Brainwave] Tell me
what else you're guilty of.

[breathing heavily]

No.

[Brainwave] The death of my son.

Henry.

That was because of you, too.

[door opens]

[breathing heavily]

[grunts]

[Brainwave] I'll admit,

I underestimated you in the moment,

but you underestimated me, too.

[grunts]

[Brainwave] Even now...

[high-pitched feedback buzzing]

You can't escape.

[grunting in pain]

While my body died

and you were gloating, standing over me,

I sent my mind into yours.

[grunts]

I'm a part of you now.

I know how much
you hate yourself, Yolanda.

I've been drowning
in your self-loathing for months.

Your mind is weakened because of it.

Which is why I'll be in control soon.

Your body will be mine to use.

And Brainwave will live again,

through you.

[screams]

[grunting in pain]

You've made so many bad choices,

it's made taking control of your mind
so easy.

[Stargirl] Yolanda.

Yolanda?

Court!

[gasps and yells]

[grunting]

Court!

[chokes]

[grunts]

No!

Henry!

You're going to burn with me. [grunts]

I'm sorry.

[Yolanda sobs]

[Courtney] Yolanda?

Yolanda?

Yolanda?

[Cosmic Staff warbling]

-What happened?
-[breathing heavily]

Hey, whatever it is, it's gonna be okay.

It's not gonna be okay.

It's never gonna be okay.

I didn't want anything from anyone.

I just wanted to be left alone
but you couldn't do that.

What?

Tell me, Courtney,

why did you do it?

[sniffles]

Why did you choose me?

I wasn't supposed to be Wildcat.

I wasn't supposed to hurt anyone!

Yolanda, I...

[sobs and sniffles]

I'm never putting on that costume again.

I quit.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[somber music playing]

[sighs]

[dial tone ringing]

[sighs]

-[Mrs. Montez] Courtney?
-Um... [stutters]

Mrs. Montez. Hi.

Um...

-Is Yolanda there?
-She doesn't wanna talk to you.

Um...

Is she... okay?

It's your influence
that has corrupted my daughter.

I know it.

Stop calling.

[Maria] Is she sure?

Well, she was doing so well here.

[chuckles] We love her.

Please tell her that she'll always have
a job waiting if she changes her mind.

Hello? Mrs. Montez?

Did Yolanda pick up?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys
about Brainwave.

I know we said no secrets but...

It didn't feel like
it was my secret to tell.

And, now I think that was a mistake.

[Barbara] I'm sure
she didn't have a choice, right?

I just wish I knew how to help her.

Was this Brainwave or...

Was it Eclipso?

Or was it just in her head?

I didn't mean to kill Icicle.

Yeah.

I was driving,
I look up and he's, you know... [grunts]

It was an accident, really.

Yeah, it was an accident.

We know.

It's okay.

Mom, what about The Shade?

You said you saw him, right?

[Barbara] I don't know. I... I...

I don't know what I saw.

[ominous music playing]

[giggles]
