'No sign of explosives, no battering ram.'
That wall went down by brute force.
Word. Sounds like a Bang Baby.
This makes four break-ins so far this week.
All chemistry labs.
Hmm, maybe this guy's making
the world's strongest vitamins.
Yo, Static, look over here.
Whoever did this is one burly dude.
He left his footprints.
In solid wood?
Okay, what about Kangor?
No, he's in lockup.
Besides, that footprint was normal size.
Kangor wears something like a size 196 wide.
Must be murder trying to find socks.

Okay, come out.

No, funny is your department.

Virgil Hawkins and Richie Foley.
High school superheroes, who would've guessed?
Oh, by the way, love the masks.
- Oh. Here. - Oh. Sorry.
You know, running after you all night made me thirsty.
May I?
- How did you find us? - I followed you.
Personally, I think you could use a secret entrance.
Hey, if we want your advice we'll ask!
Now, why are you here?
I-I might need your help.
You need our help?
It's my parents.
I think somebody kidnapped them.
Three days ago, my parents left
to attend an important meeting.
I thought security would be going with them
but now I find out security knew nothing about it.
So what makes you think your parents are here in Dakota?
We had a web cam chat two days ago.
I recorded it.
You can see the Dakota Media Center in the background.
'But when do you get to come home?'
As soon as we can, hon.
But first, we promised to meet someone.
It's hard to explain, Shenice.
- It's him. - We gotta go, sweetie.
We'll call tonight, we promise.
- 'Aah!' - Jonathan!
I haven't heard from them since.
What does witness protection say?
Nothing. Just, "Sit tight."
We'll find them for you.
Find them for me? Oh, no.
I need help, but I'm not helpless.
Shenice, we've had more experience with this stuff.
I don't care, I'm coming too!
- No, you're not. - Yes, I am!
No you're not!
Yes, she is.
This is the right hotel.
Now, we need to find the right room.
- Shebang! - Shebang!
- Whoa! - Whoa!
Give a brother a little warning, huh?
- This is it. - Yup.
It matches the background on the video file.
zap
No sign of the parents though.
Maybe I can pick up some prints.
Give me a full scan of the room, Backpack.
Chemicals, fibers, anything.
- Uh-oh. - What did you find?
Same footprints we saw at the chemistry lab break-in.
So, our looter is also a kidnapper.
What looter? What break-in?
He's picking up a police bulletin.
'All units, there is a metahuman'
'crime in progress.'
'Dakota Chemical Plant, route 92.'
'Please respond, all units.'
I wonder if it's bigfoot.
Will somebody please tell me what's going on?
I'll explain on the way.

Man, she is seriously down.
I'm using my best jokes.
Maybe that's what's depressing her.
Listen, Shenice.
I know things look bad, but it's gonna be okay.
How's it gonna be okay, Virgil?
I've spent my whole life hiding my past and living a lie
but I always believed I could trust my parents.
Now, I find out they're living an even bigger lie.
All I know is we're your friends
but you have to let us help you.
Okay first off, who's the heavy dude with the skin condition?
He's.. I don't know.
Rich, do an internet check on Shenice's parents.
Maybe that'll give us a lead on this guy.
No, forget it! Don't bother.
I'm gonna handle this by myself.
Shenice, I'm sorry your mom and dad are involved
but they broke the law.
Yeah, and we're crime fighters.
We have to, you know, fight crime.
No! Butt out!
If you don't, I'll..
I'll tell everybody about your secret identities.
She wouldn't do that.
Would she?
- Unlocked. - Pressure's steady.
- Where's Koenig? - He's over there...snacking.
Koenig, put it down.
Amazing, isn't it?
This must weigh 500 pounds
but to me it feels light as a balloon!
Koenig, you're a fool!
The greater your density, the harder it will be to--
I know what it's doing to me, Jonathan, but I'm hungry!
The longer I'm like this, the more mass I need to absorb.
The pressure chamber can't take your weight. You'll break it.
And everything you've done to yourself
and to us will be for nothing.
Well, Jonathan
that's why I'm counting on you and Dolores
to make sure that doesn't happen.
You keep working.
I'll go greet our intruders.

Welcome back, Shenice.
Aren't you gonna say hello to an old family friend?
Let her go!
Darling, we're so sorry we--
Sorry doesn't cut it!
What are you doing back here?
'The government shut this place down!'
'We needed a place to work.'
What's goin' on?
As you know, before you were..
Before you came along
we worked with Dr. Koenig here.
We were trying to find a way for living cells
to absorb energy more efficiently.
Bypass the whole metabolic process.
It was a dead end.
We went on to another project.
Me?
Yes, while Koenig continued his research.
He experimented on himself.
You see the results.
I achieved my goal.
I gained the ability to absorb mass from other objects.
Their atomic structure collapses
I become tougher.
Unfortunately, I also ended up
with some unpleasant side effects.
I can't stop the process!
Soon he won't be able to move.
He'll become a living statue.
That's why he stole those things
so we could build this chamber
and force the cure into his skin under pressure.
Why help him at all?
Simple self-interest.
Show her.
If your parents don't cure me
I'll push this button.
Three minutes later, those collars
'will inject them with poison.'
I can break those in a second.
Ah, but if you even try
they'll go off and I'm the only one
who knows the deactivation code.
- You're sick! - Agreed.
Now, let's get to work.

- Any luck, Rich? - No, nothing much.
In fact, the only picture file I found
'is an old annual report from the last place they worked.'

None of the antidote is getting through.

Koenig, this isn't working.
Don't stop. Turn up the pressure.
