Stargirl (2020–…): Season 3, Episode 10 - Frenemies - Chapter Ten: The Killer - full transcript

ISA, me and the wife,
we never really fit in.

Jordan was a good guy,
but the rest of 'em,

I do not miss.

Howdy, neighbor.

We have got to
get together for coffee!

I love Blue Valley
and the people in it.

You stopped Icicle.

Incoming justice.

That was
an accident, pal.

Took off the
limiter. Now it works 24/7.

- Rick, stop!



- Sofus!
- He's having

a heart attack. What do we do?

I'm still
worried about Cindy.

What's that?

It looks like a list

of her father's laboratories.

Our lead.

If you wanna find
Cindy, let's find Cindy.

Oh, boy.

- I'll kill every
last one of them.

- Hey!
- Hey, Crusher!

- Hey.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.



- In the old days, it
wouldn't have mattered

if they were wearing dentures
or fitted with pacemakers.

Anyone attacks us,
we take 'em out.

Pat and his family
are our people now.

- I know.

But we don't use violence to
solve our problems anymore.

Yeah, well, we can't just let

Grandma and Grandpa Icicle
walk away from this.

We gotta do something.
- We will.

- What?

- I don't know yet.

- Oh, man.

- You gotta be kidding me, man.

- I never learn.

Come on, man.

- You asked for phone service.

I came through
with flying colors.

- Yeah, great job, Thunderbolt.

- What?

What's that? "Thank
you, Thunderbolt"?

Oh, I didn't hear that.
That didn't get said.

But you know what,
Jakeem? You're welcome.

- It's working.
Wait, I can't tell.

It sounds like a UFO.

- If you'd like to make a call,

please deposit ten cents.

- Ten cents for a phone call?

We need a dime. Do
you have a dime?

- Why would I need to
walk around with a dime?

Just look.

- I have some sour
apple bubblegum.

It's been in my pocket
for a while, though.

- Cindy Burman
needs our help, huh?

That backfired on us.
- What if that thing got her?

- It probably did! She's
probably in its belly,

and we're gonna
join her down there.

I mean, we would be home
right now if you had just been

more specific with
the first wish.

- How was I supposed to know

wishing to go home
wouldn't take us anywhere?

- Because home is
where the heart is...

A very apropos statement.
It actually came

from one of my former masters,
Gaius Plinius Secundus.

He and his best friend
went everywhere together

like you and Mike, even
to an active volcano,

the great Mt. Vesuvius,
which again, very apropos...

Caused their demise.
- They died?

- Oh, but they died together.
- Why is that ah-pro-pro?

- There'll be no
death for us today.

Got that?
- Yeah, why would there be?

Unless that giant, mutated,
hungry, albino gorilla

finds us, and then I'd have
to say, "Outlook not so good."

Let's not die.

What?

Oh, why couldn't that

just be thunder?
- Go, run, run!

- Hello, you've reached
Michael P. Dugan, Esquire.

Text me, and I'll hit you back.

I don't do phone calls.

- Mike's still not answering.

- Jakeem either.

- So where are they?

- Well, Mike said he was gonna

spend the night at Jakeem's.

Jakeem told his mom he was

spending the night here.

- Do you think the Mahkents

did something to them?

- If they found out that
Mike killed Jordan...

- Pat, Mike and Jakeem lied
to us about where they were

before everything with those

Norwegian frosted
freaks went down.

So the boys were
already off doing

whatever they set out to do.

- We have to be sure
that the Mahkents

are not involved.
- I agree.

- Beth tracked the receiving
signal from the spy cameras

to the Mahkent house.

They're the ones who've
been watching us.

How could they not be involved?

- Because we've
been set up before.

Think about it...
At the exact moment

you and Cameron were
trying to bury past demons,

Beth suddenly cracks

into info that points the rest
of you at the Mahkent house

like a gun, so
everything goes boom?

I bet you one of my red boots
and one of Pat's puffer vests

that the signal that Beth
found was a fabrication.

Someone is trying
to distract us.

Well, if the Mahkents haven't
been the ones watching us,

then who's left?

- Nurse Collins to 153 south.
Nurse Collins to 153 south.

- This is not the
way of our family...

Waiting, giving
them time to plan,

to attack us again? Never.

- We don't know for sure that
that's what they're doing,

Grandma. And Papa, he said...

- Look at him, Cameron.

Look at your grandfather.
- He might've died

if Beth Chapel
hadn't called 911.

- They were the ones
who did this to him,

just like your father.

You know the truth now, Cameron,

about Courtney Whitmore
and her friends...

Who they are, what they did.

I'm going to take
your grandfather home.

Go find the Whitmore girl.

You know what must be done next.

- I know.

- So what's the prognosis, Doc?

Will I ever play violin again?

- That's not funny.
Mr. Mahkent almost died.

- Well, he didn't.

Neither did I.

- That's true, but your
heart rate and blood pressure

are elevated to very
unnatural levels.

- It's that hourglass, Rick.

You've been wearing
it for too long.

I feel better than ever,

and with Cameron Mahkent and
his grandparents out there,

none of us can let our
guard down right now.

- Rick, from what Beth told
us, you just rushed in.

You even hit Courtney.
- It was an accident!

Okay?

You know that.

- We do,

but you haven't been
acting like yourself, Rick.

We're all really
worried about you.

- I'm fine.

Really. I am.

- Then take off your hourglass.

Take it off for ten minutes.

See how you feel.

Don't ever tell me what to do.

- Rick!
- Rick!

Hold on!
- Rick!

- Not bringing the Staff?

I gotta say it's a mistake.

- Yeah, we're not here to fight.

- So we're here to die?

Look, I'm sorry.

I know you're
worried about Mike.

- Yeah.
- But I'm worried about you.

These people are evil people.

They're the worst of the bunch.
You know they could kill us

the second we step
on the front porch.

- If Mike's in there, I wanna
know about it right now.

And if not, then we still got
a chance to calm the waters

before any more blood
gets spilled, all right?

We need to try.

- Okay.

We're gonna die.

- One more thing... No
matter what they say,

no matter what they do, you
follow my lead, all right?

You check your temper...

like Rick should've done.
- I got it.

- Feel all right?

- Come in.

I'd offer you some tea, but
I'm in no shape to make it.

Mr. Mahkent, have
you seen my son?

- No.

Should we have?

- After everything
that's happened,

have you done something to my
son and his friend, Jakeem?

- If I felt better, I'd
be angry at the allegation

that I would hurt a child.

You just
tried to freeze-dry

a bunch of kids,
Grandpa Frostbite.

Oh, sorry.

- Well, yes. We were
defending ourselves,

Starman.

- Where's your wife?

- She went out to pick up
some things for my recovery.

- We're glad you're doing okay.

- This should never
have happened.

We brought our son to
this country to escape

what we faced back home.

You don't understand what
our family has endured

over the centuries...

Hunted because of
what we can do.

Fathers,

mothers,

children

burnt like witches.

- Mr. Mahkent, we
don't wanna hurt you,

all right?

So let's put an
end to this feud.

- You killed our son.

The why, the how...
That doesn't matter now.

There's no coming
back from that,

not for my wife.

You should take your
family and friends far away

from Blue Valley, or
you should come for us

as others have before.

- We would love to
take a shot at you.

- Go now,

before my wife returns and
kills you both where you sit.

Go, please.

- Yeah, yeah, sure.
- If you see Mike and Jakeem,

can you just have them
call me, Mr. Bloomkiss?

- No problem. I got you.

- Thank you.

- Your husband and his friend
came to our house today.

So I came here.

- What do you want?

- To tell you that your family

has hurt mine too
many times now.

My son could have saved
this country's future,

and he was so very fond of you.

Oh.

- I won't miss on purpose again.

You have one second to leave.

You need to learn
how to use this.

Dude, dude!

We gotta think of a
wish. Okay, this is good.

Say this...

"I wish that my friend, Mike
Dugan, and I were sitting

"at a booth at Richie's enjoying

"strawberry milkshakes
and chocolate milkshakes,

respectively, at
212 Main Street."

Wait, is it North or
South Main Street?

Gotta be specific, boys.

- What happened?
Did we get eaten?

- Ow, you're actually
on top of my...

- What are you two
idiots doing here?

- Hey, we found her!

- Is that Cindy? Oh.

- Hi.

- Don't tell her you
have all of her stuff.

Ow.

- Ow.

- Cindy, you're alive.
- What are you doing here?

- We're looking for you.
- Why?

- We wanted to see
if you were okay.

- Yeah, now that you're
turning into a lizard.

- Lizards are, by far,
the most beautiful

and intriguing members of the
reptile family, if you ask me.

- While we were looking for you,

we found a giant,
big, white gorilla.

- I'm not good at estimates,

but I'd say, like, 30 feet tall.

- Yeah, that's what
that trap was for.

- Huh. You might
need a bigger trap.

- Look, down there, you'll
find a road, Etter Lane.

It leads right back to town.
- Come with us.

- I can't. I think that thing

is one of my dad's crazy
science experiments.

- It's gotta be what
killed The Gambler, right?

- Probably. So it's
how I'll clear my name

and shove it into the smug faces

of your sister's
dumbass friends.

- Admirable goals.
- So do yourselves a favor.

Go play some video games
and leave this to me.

- But The Thunderbolt
said that...

- What?
- Yep, she... oh.

- Oh, just like Batman!

- She is out of her mind.

- How 'bout those
milkshakes, guys?

Do you wanna make that wish?

- Whoa.

- It worked!

Mm-hmm.

- This is good.
- Mm.

- Oh, my gosh, you know
what I totally forgot about?

The gorilla.
- Check, please.

- Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- What?

- You need to
stabilize your stance.

- What does that mean?
- Move your legs.

Don't lean forward.
- Okay.

- Keep your center of
gravity over your base.

Keep your hands below the rail.

If they're anywhere near these
cables, you'll lose a finger.

- Oh. Oh, God.

I don't know if I can do
this. I'm not a superhero.

Not all superheroes

fly through the air.
Some fire arrows.

Come on.
- This is not me.

- Yes, it is.

Courtney is a fighter.
She gets that from you.

I don't wanna lose
the only real friend

outside of my family
I've ever had.

So now try again.

But this time, imagine
Mrs. Mahkent's face

on the target.
- Okay.

- We'll keep practicing.
- Where'd it go?

- You fired it, right?

- Yeah.
- Hmm.

Lots of chances. Got
some arrows in the car.

- How is your grandfather?

- He's fine.

- Cameron, I am so sorry.

I never meant for any
of this to happen.

- Then why'd you do it?

- Yolanda and Rick were
just trying to protect me.

They thought your
grandparents...

- My grandparents
are not evil, okay?

They're just angry.

I'm angry.

- I know you are,

and you have every right to be.

- You should've
told me the truth.

- I wanted to, but
I didn't know how.

- You just open your mouth,

and you say it.

- Yes, but...

I know how much your
father meant to you,

and I didn't wanna change
the memory you had of him.

- Change it how?

He did...

bad things, Cameron.

He killed people to
get what he wanted,

and he was about to kill
more, so, so many more.

- I'm learning that he...

I know he wasn't a
good guy all the time,

but he was my dad, Courtney.

Mine.

Did you have to kill
him to stop him?

Did you have to take
him away from me?

Forever?

We never set out to hurt him.
- Who did it?

Who killed my father?

- It was an accident,
I swear to you.

- If it was an accident, then
someone needs to own up to it.

Now, who?

- It doesn't matter who did it.

- It matters to me.

Please.

Please.

- I did it.

I'm sorry.

Cameron.

- I don't ever
wanna see you again.

- You sure you wanna do this?

- That old woman won't listen
to a word Barbara says.

But we used to be on
their side of the fence...

Well, on Jordan's.

They might be more
open-minded with us.

Wow.

Hope you have insurance.

- You know why we're here.

- Not exactly.

- You were friends of our son.
- Can we sit down?

All right, look,
I'm just gonna...

I'm just gonna get right
to the... to the point.

We're on behalf of Pat
and Barbara and the kids.

- So you've aligned yourself
with that horrible girl

and her family?
- Despite our differences,

I think all of us in Blue Valley

want the same thing.

How could you presume
to know what we want?

- We need to reset.

No more revenge plots,
no more violence,

- You want us to
forget everything?

- Not forget it,

but learn from it.

That's what Courtney Whitmore

has been trying to
get us all to do...

Forgive one another.

- You want us to forgive the
people who murdered our son?

Never!

- I'll hit the sky, see if I
can find any clue up there.

- Dad!

- Mike.

Where ya been?

- Dad, I...
- You okay?

- I was... we were in the woods.
- Hey.

- I...

That's... okay.
- You okay, Jakeem?

You all right?
- You got a lot of folks

worried, you know that?
- Yeah.

- Where were you?

- We found a monster
in the woods.

- What?
- A monster?

Grundy?
- It was a huge mutant gorilla.

- Oh, God.
- Oh, boy.

- Yeah, a white one.

- Pat...
- Yeah.

- A white gorilla.

- You know what it is?

- Unfortunately, yeah.

- Dad, what is it?

- It's one of the
most dangerous things

that the JSA ever faced.

- Look, all of this, everything
that's been happening,

it ain't about us.

Jordan wanted to
build a new America

because he believed he could
create a brighter, safer future

for our children.

That's why we got on
board with his plan.

We believed in him.

- But if this continues,

it will only bring more
destruction to our families

and our community.
- And that's not

what Jordan wanted in the end.

- No, it wasn't.
- So you kill them,

then they kill you, and a lot
of other people get killed

along the way. Believe me.

My wife and I, we've been
doing this a long time.

We know.

That's how this goes.

- How will this help Cameron?

What kind of future
will this give him

and his children?

- Jordan wanted the
best for his kid.

So do what's right.

Give it up

like we did.

- Hey, Court.

- I'm okay.

- No Rick?

- I haven't heard back yet.

Kay, well, that kid, he needs
to get his head on straight,

'cause the man that
Mike and Jakeem found,

he's the worst threat
that you can imagine.

- Yeah, but he's not a man, Dad.

- He used to be.

When the Justice Society first
formed, there was a scientist...

Didn't know his real identity.

He just went by "The
Ultra-Humanite."

But he went by a lot of names.

When we first met him, he
was just another criminal

until he escaped us
by putting his brain

into the body of an actress
named Dolores Winters.

- I mean, that sounds like a
science fiction horror movie,

but it's exactly what happened.

- Dolores Winters,
the famous actress?

He put his brain in her body?

- H-how'd he do that?
- Magic?

- Surgery with a little
help from Dragon King.

- We don't even know
if the scientist body

we first met him in
was his original one.

Anyway, he assumed
Dolores Winters' identity

and fooled everyone.

- Dolores Winters went
on to win an Oscar.

- For "Remembering to Forget."
It's one of my mom's favorites.

- The Ultra-Humanite had been

in Dolores' skull for
over a year by then.

- So he won the award?

- Exactly.

- When the JSA found out
the truth about Winters,

The Ultra-Humanite sought
out a body strong enough

to destroy us. So
he and Dragon King

stitched that
mutated ape together

and put his brain in that.

He has to be the one
that sucker-punched me

back at The Gambler's trailer.

- That's probably also who
killed The Gambler, right?

- Mm-hmm.
- So was he the one

that was watching us?

- That would be his M.O.

- But what does he want?

- Besides revenge
against the JSA?

It's anyone's guess.

- What do you think?

- I think they're
considering it.

- Let's hope so.

- The Ultra-Humanite
is the next Eclipso.

- What does that mean?

- He's the next real evil that
has to be stopped by all of us.

Pat, that's what I was
talking about when I said

we had to come together...

The Crocks, Cindy, and now

the Mahkents.

If this villain is as
powerful as you say,

it'll take everyone to stop him,

including the Mahkents.

- I know you wanna
help Cameron, but...

- This isn't just about
helping Cameron, Yolanda.

It's about all of us.

Good and bad have come together
before, and we can do it again,

and get another new start.

- Maybe she's right.

- It's gonna take each and
every one of us, though,

working together.

- Huh!

- Oh.
- Whew.

- That's better.

- Oh.
- Ah.

It's Artie.

Hey!
- Oh, hi!

- Dad, Mom, I got in!
- What?

- Mr. Morrison was at tryouts,

and oh, my God, I'm
going to Nebraska!

- Congratulations!
- Oh, my God, our kid

is the first female quarterback
in college football!

- Yeah, we knew you could do it!

- Hey, look, we're
on our way home.

We're gonna see you soon.

We are gonna celebrate tonight!

Mwah!
- We love you so much.

- We love you!
- Love you too!

- So proud of you.
Hey, see you soon.

- Ah!
- Oh, I knew it!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- Oh!

Everything's coming
up Crock today.

- This is fantastic.
Oh, my God.

It's really...

- The hell?

What the hell is this?

- Someone wants our attention.

- If they're
looking for trouble,

they're gonna be
sorry they got it.

- What is this?

- What the hell?

Oh!

- No!

At least you'll die together.

I... love... you.

- I love you too.

- Greg, move your head.
