3x12 - Remote Control
Team delta, what's your status?
Checking grid 28. Looks pretty quiet.
Now it's quiet.
Hold on. Thought I saw something.
False alarm.
Not the kind of rats we're after.
Providence goons are thick as fleas tonight,
and I know fleas.
We're gonna be late if we have to keep sneaking around.
After you.
Rex must have bailed on us... again.
He would never do that, Skwydd.
And besides, he had to fly all the way to Hong Kong on his own.
Give him some time.
He's here! Everything okay, Rex?
Freeze, freaks! We've got you!
Ă‚Â™ÂŞ So make way to start the revolution â™Ş
â™Ş make way we're gonna have fun tonight â™Ş
â™Ş make way to start the revolution â™Ş
â™Ş so make way â™Ş
Ă‚Â™ÂŞ so make way to start the revolution â™Ş
â™Ş make way to start the revolution â™Ş
â™Ş so make way â™Ş
Cricket, Tuck, this way!
Yeah, I think I'll stick to ink.
We need to find Rex.
He was supposed to find us. How are we gonna ...
Restraining foam!
Get 'em in the transport. You kids are coming with us.
Wrong. They'll be coming with me.
Anybody got a problem with that?
Tuck? Cricket? Skwydd?
Oh, yeah, they were here.
This came out of Skwydd.
Mm.
Ew!
If those providence goons hurt them, I'm gonna...
What do you say you use
a little of that aggression and get some answers, champ?
Quarry?
If you think we're going to
thank you for getting us out of there, Quarry...
I think you're going to do exactly as I say.
Occupied Hong Kong ...
What a dump! Where to, chief?
I have no idea.
How did he get away from Van Kleiss?
How is he even alive?
It's cool. We're not going to hurt you.
What's Providence turned into? This whole city is living in fear.
Well, we ain't gonna find any answers in this alley.
I got a guide book.
Ooh! A coupon for all-you-can-eat Dim Sum.
What? A chimp's gotta eat.
Okay, let's go.
But keep moving. Maybe we'll turn up a clue.
Aw, this just breaks my heart.
All that grub and no one to eat it.
Can you help a fellow Evo who's down on his luck?
I can do better than that. Let me take care of this for you.
I wanna order some Chow to go.
Give me some of those chicken feet, and give me the beaks, too.
I thought that collar was supposed to make you mellow!
What? Now you know kung fu?
I don't have time for this.
Hey, buddy. It looked like you could use some ...
Hey, where'd the charity case go?
He had to leave suddenly.
All yours. I need some time to think.
More for me! Go off and think your brains out, pal.
You know where to find me. Ah, this could be the start of
a beautiful friendship, my beak-dealing chum.
And speaking of chum
do I detect the delightful aroma of fish heads?
Hey, kid! You like video games? Want a cool job?
I already have a cool job.
This the coolest job you'll ever have.
Mr. Quarry pays top dollar for good players, and I could set you up.
Quarry? Tell me more.
Okay, kids. Looks like we're all here.
Great ... let me show you around.
We've netted the big fish. Time to reel him in.
This is all state-of-the-art stuff ... exciting, new tech.
You get to play as an Evo and go on a crime spree.
How cool is that?
Hey! That looks like the Evo that jumped me.
We model our characters from actual Evos.
This is as close to reality as you can get.
Hey! You guys! Oh, am I glad to see you!
I... take that back.
You've been collared! Let me help you!
Cricket, it's me ... Rex! You used to have a crush on me!
Rex, I'm so sorry.
I knew what I was doing, but I couldn't control it.
I'm okay, Cricket.
You've been working on that jab, though, haven't you?
They're getting away.
Let them go. They'll lead us right to Quarry.
"Used to have a crush"?
Infrared.
Nice move.
Providence convoy. Great.
Come on, Cricket. We do this all the time.
Uh, hair. Please.
Hey, give me some more of those deep-fried shrimp heads
and a bunch of those fresh spring rolls.
Heck, give me the stale spring rolls while you're at it.
No more food! You have to go!
I recognize this place.
It's where Quarry took us after we were collared.
It's probably a setup.
It's definite a setup. You ready to go in?
You know how a collared Evo follows orders kind of like a robot?
With these collars, it's worse.
It's like you're a remote-controlled robot.
That is a nasty hack.
It's bad enough working for Quarry when you have free will.
But this...
Skwydd, Tuck, I don't want to hurt you.
Glad to hear that, Rex.
Your friends are very valuable to me... as are you.
Like the new look. Strapping.
Let's just say I had to find a new way to keep it
together after my visit to Abysus.
Just one more thing you owe me for.
And you know how much I like a balanced book.
Rex!
No!
You'll be the crown jewel of my Evo army, Rex.
I may just make you my own personal slave.
That collar suits you, Rex.
Wish I'd had one for you back in the old days ...
would've saved me a lot of trouble.
Rex!
Oh, right. Cricket.
Rex, be a good little helper and hold her down, would you?
Rex?
Rex! I command you to stop!
I quit listening to you a long time ago.
Rex, I'm sorry.
Never mind, Skwydd. Help me with Tuck.
Oh, man! These nanites are smarter than usual.
Hurry, Rex!
Don't think I'll be doing that again soon.
Thanks, man. That was all kinds of weird.
I've decided that you brats are not that valuable to me.
Kill them all!
We'll see.
Spinning donkey? Since when do street Evos know kung-fu?
I know, right?
How are you doing this? How are you controlling these guys?
I'm not. It would take an army of
operators to control this many Evos.
I merely provide the funding and equipment.
The streets provide the manpower ...
or should I say bratpower?
And I pay top dollar for good players, at least by their sad standards.
The arcade. All those kids!
Those brats were born to play games, which is what
they think they're doing. And I thank your people for the tech.
That brother of yours is quite the whiz kid.
Caesar would never!
Forget about Caesar, Rex. You know what you've got to do.
These guys will shred you if I leave.
We've got this, Rex. Go!
Once I get my hands on you, I'm gonna pop your head like a grape!
Oh, I am one stuffed monkey.
Ooh, this might just be the year I floss.
Hey! I know that noise. That's Rex.
I'm coming, champ!
Ooh, I better take it easy, or I'm gonna deliver a street pizza.
Next time, you're on the menu!
You were a good earner once, Rex.
But lately, you've been costing me too much.
Now... you... pay!
No tongues!
Hey!
Consider the fact that you made me like this while I'm crushing you.
What?
No!
Bad move, Quarry. Now, where's the "off" switch?
Bingo.
Okay.
Uh, what just happened?
Rex happened.
No way. We were actually fighting real people?
I'm out of here.
Nice moves, Rex. I guess Quarry eats it again.
Where is Quarry, Rex?
He bit off more than he could chew.
Speaking of which, I'm starved. Who wants to grab a bite?
Ohh.
Hey, Rex, when are we gonna see some action?
I, uh, kind of took the initiative while you were chilling out.
Want to get some Dim Sum?
Uh, no, thanks. I've had all I can eat.
Can we use your coupon?
Base, got something here I think you're gonna like.
We seriously thought you were gonna blow us off.
Not "we." "You."
I came as soon as I could ... honest.
You mean you didn't make a detour to Tokyo to buy anime?
Okay, almost as soon. But it all turned out fine.
And the most important thing is we put a stop to that tech
before there was enough of it to start a real army.
You can say that again.
Yeah.
Now hurry up and eat this before my chimp finds us.
Mmm!
Okay, guys, that's the last of them.
Providence needs these machines on the next cargo ship.
Let's move!
