it's not a valid point.

- [Cootie, loudly] It doesn't make sense

00:09:49,339 --> 00:09:51,758
I made all these weapons
you about to use right now.
164
00:09:51,842 --> 00:09:56,305
[Cootie] They don't even work, Dad!
This is a fucking phone on a headband!
165
00:09:56,388 --> 00:09:58,473
I made those before the
iPhones even came out.
166
00:09:58,557 --> 00:09:59,701
- [building materials crashing]
- [Cootie] I don't trust y'all.
167
00:09:59,725 --> 00:10:01,727
The only person that's knowledgeable,
168
00:10:01,810 --> 00:10:05,022
that I can think of, who will
talk to me straight, is Jones.
169
00:10:06,732 --> 00:10:08,025
She was right about this heist.
170
00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:10,420
Nah, Jones with that half-assed shit.
Let me tell you somethin'...
171
00:10:10,444 --> 00:10:12,863
We had to keep you trapped inside.
172
00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:16,491
To keep your ass alive.
And yeah, we lied to you.
173
00:10:16,575 --> 00:10:19,119
Because you needed to be lied to.
174
00:10:19,202 --> 00:10:21,788
We couldn't have made
this happen otherwise!
175
00:10:21,872 --> 00:10:25,542
- [suspenseful music intensifies]
- I understand if you don't trust us...
176
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,170
- [building materials crashing]
- But this is how it had to be!
177
00:10:28,253 --> 00:10:30,373
Okay? I'm not gonna say what
you wanna hear right now.
178
00:10:30,422 --> 00:10:35,052
So you wanna do things
your way? Go to Jones.
179
00:10:38,889 --> 00:10:42,684
- [hinges squeak]
- Jones is wonderful.
180
00:10:43,602 --> 00:10:45,562
[soft exhale] Go to her.
181
00:10:48,398 --> 00:10:50,942
- Stop interrupting me!
- Attention. That's whatchu' want.
182
00:10:51,026 --> 00:10:53,779
- I mean, consideration.
- That's what the fuck, okay.
183
00:10:54,905 --> 00:10:59,493
Yo. You talk all this big shit
about working together
184
00:10:59,576 --> 00:11:04,081
and keeping us all connected, but you act
like what you do doesn't affect me.
185
00:11:07,876 --> 00:11:11,004
- I wanna know you think about me.
- [inhales sharply] Look, come here.
186
00:11:12,172 --> 00:11:13,382
No.
187
00:11:14,925 --> 00:11:18,929
- [bright lively music]
- Hell no! It's not fair.
188
00:11:20,472 --> 00:11:22,432
You win the arguments and we both lose.
189
00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:27,396
[Cootie whispers] Jones.
190
00:11:28,355 --> 00:11:31,066
[faint street chatter]
191
00:11:33,402 --> 00:11:34,402
I need your help.
192
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:37,989
- Fuck.
- [soft music plays]
193
00:11:38,073 --> 00:11:40,075
I told you that Band Aid shit won't work.
194
00:11:41,326 --> 00:11:43,221
It's not just about changing shit,
it's how we change it.
195
00:11:43,245 --> 00:11:46,581
I just thought I could...
give people inspiration to fight.
196
00:11:47,624 --> 00:11:50,168
You know?
Like show 'em we have power.
197
00:11:50,252 --> 00:11:51,972
- Look over there.
- [Crowd, angry chanting]
198
00:11:52,045 --> 00:11:54,245
[Jones] We're shuttin' shit down
at the source of power.
199
00:11:54,464 --> 00:11:56,776
- This general strike is growing all over!
- [angry crowd chants]
200
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,136
- [dramatic music swells]
- [ominous humming]
201
00:11:59,219 --> 00:12:00,095
- [tires screeching]
- [body thumping]
202
00:12:00,178 --> 00:12:01,304
Cootie, get outta here!
203
00:12:01,388 --> 00:12:04,224
- [suspenseful music plays]
- [tires screech away]
204
00:12:04,307 --> 00:12:07,894
Great Polypheme.
Let us help you. Quick, come inside.
205
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,441
- [music intensifies]
- [unintelligible chatter]
206
00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:18,697
Come! Quickly, quickly, this way.
Let us help you. In here.
207
00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:21,992
- [music crescendos]
- [metal door clangs]
208
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:24,411
[Cootie] Hey. Hey!
209
00:12:24,536 --> 00:12:26,413
- Hey, what the fuck?
- [clanking sounds]
210
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:28,808
- [tense violin music begins]
- [Cootie muffled shouting]
211
00:12:28,832 --> 00:12:33,044
[muffled] What the fuck? Hey!
What are you doing?
212
00:12:33,128 --> 00:12:36,631
- [violin music swells]
- [Cootie screaming]
213
00:12:36,715 --> 00:12:39,009
- [grunting] What the fuck?
- Get the eye!
214
00:12:39,593 --> 00:12:43,180
- [Cootie gasping]
- The Great Polypheme.
215
00:12:43,305 --> 00:12:47,684
"Shall sacrifice one eye to save us all."
216
00:12:48,852 --> 00:12:52,814
- [softly] Sam sticky note number 32.
- [Cootie] No! No! Fuck you!
217
00:12:52,898 --> 00:12:55,150
We didn't think you'd
come to us soon...
218
00:12:55,233 --> 00:12:58,945
- [knife scrapes]
- But here we are!
219
00:12:59,029 --> 00:13:01,031
- [footsteps pattering]
- With this eye...
220
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:02,258
- [Cootie moaning]
- [metal clanking]
221
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:05,535
The Great Polypheme
will impart on us, his wisdom,
222
00:13:05,619 --> 00:13:08,747
- [Cootie continues moaning and gasping]
- his sight, his virility.
223
00:13:09,414 --> 00:13:11,458
[Cootie grunting]
Heart, head, hands feet,
224
00:13:11,541 --> 00:13:13,793
as long as I push there's no defeat.
225
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:16,713
- [metal clanging]
- [yelling]
226
00:13:17,088 --> 00:13:18,215
[cult leader] Shit!
227
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:23,053
[omnious music swells]
228
00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:27,849
- [protestor chanting angrily]
- [arrow twanging]
229
00:13:27,933 --> 00:13:31,353
- Sorry. We love you Great Polypheme!
- [speaker] Cootie. Watch out.
230
00:13:31,436 --> 00:13:33,688
[The Hero grunts, groans]
231
00:13:37,901 --> 00:13:42,197
[tense ominous music]
232
00:13:42,656 --> 00:13:46,326
[ominous music bellows loudly]
233
00:13:53,375 --> 00:13:55,669
[Cootie] No. [grunts] Stay down!
234
00:13:56,002 --> 00:14:00,840
- It's time for a replay. You ready?
- What's your endgame?
235
00:14:00,924 --> 00:14:02,284
[punches blowing]
Shut the fuck up.
236
00:14:02,342 --> 00:14:04,511
You're not, you're not a killer, Cootie!
237
00:14:06,638 --> 00:14:09,933
- [tense dramatic music]
- [soft panting] Please, please.
238
00:14:12,686 --> 00:14:17,315
- Call me Thug One.
- Fine, Thug One. Fine.
239
00:14:18,233 --> 00:14:22,112
No, it sounds stupid when you say it.
You call me Cootie. Call me Cootie!
240
00:14:22,195 --> 00:14:25,132
I, I did. I just called you Cootie,
but you just told me to call you Thug One.
241
00:14:25,156 --> 00:14:27,176
- That's what you wanted to go by.
- Get to the point. Get to the point!
242
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,829
[stuttering] Okay, okay. Look, look,
I'm, I'm, I, I'm sorry.
243
00:14:31,288 --> 00:14:33,790
I'm sorry. I, I was, I was wrong.
244
00:14:34,165 --> 00:14:35,458
[protestors faintly chanting]
245
00:14:35,542 --> 00:14:41,631
I needed the world to see a real
super villain, and to see me defeat him.
246
00:14:41,715 --> 00:14:45,010
- But I, I, I misjudged you.
- [triumphant brass music]
247
00:14:45,093 --> 00:14:47,846
I, I misjudged what the world needs.
248
00:14:47,971 --> 00:14:52,017
It doesn't need one.
It needs, it needs two!
249
00:14:52,142 --> 00:14:56,563
Look, you and me,
right there, a dynamic duo.
250
00:14:56,646 --> 00:15:01,151
You and me together, Thug One. Uh, Cootie.
You and me together. Cootie.
251
00:15:01,860 --> 00:15:08,742
Putting a new face on justice. Together.
Together we can do anything.
252
00:15:09,618 --> 00:15:14,914
- [The Hero breathing heavily]
- [chanting continues]
253
00:15:15,498 --> 00:15:19,711
- I just have one question for you.
- Oh, okay?
254
00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:26,176
Why the hell, [panting] in issue
247 of The Hero... [panting continues]
255
00:15:26,384 --> 00:15:29,638
Does Shalamo not have
the Incisor Lapel Emitter?
256
00:15:31,848 --> 00:15:34,601
- [The Hero laughing]
- [Cootie] Think about it.
257
00:15:37,437 --> 00:15:41,775
[The Hero laughing intensely]
Do you have any idea how long
258
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,528
I have been waiting for
someone to point that out?
259
00:15:46,196 --> 00:15:49,240
I didn't think anybody was ever
gonna get that, but you got it.
260
00:15:49,324 --> 00:15:53,161
- That's a great question!
- I'm glad we worked this out, you know.
261
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:54,871
I don't wanna fight anymore.
262
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:56,915
Yeah, we can, we can,
we can work together.
263
00:15:56,998 --> 00:15:59,501
I wanna work with you.
I've always wanted to work with you.
264
00:15:59,584 --> 00:16:01,187
Let me tell you something.
You love comic books.
265
00:16:01,211 --> 00:16:03,129
- So much.
- I love comic books.
266
00:16:03,213 --> 00:16:05,340
- Fuckin' so much.
- Sometimes when I'm...
267
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:10,095
When I'm writing comic books,
I, I hide clues in plain sight.
268
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,265
Sometimes they don't lead to anything.
269
00:16:15,725 --> 00:16:20,605
And sometimes, they lead to...
everything.
270
00:16:20,689 --> 00:16:22,899
- [rope whooshing]
- [tense suspenseful music]
271
00:16:23,024 --> 00:16:23,900
[Cootie groans]
272
00:16:24,025 --> 00:16:25,419
[helper robot]
Pull your damn pants up.
273
00:16:25,443 --> 00:16:28,655
- [Cootie groans]
- [chains clinking]
274
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:35,370
- [suspenseful music continues]
- You stay down.
275
00:16:35,453 --> 00:16:40,250
- [club thudding]
- [Cootie grunting]
276
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:44,713
[protestors shouting loudly]
277
00:16:46,381 --> 00:16:50,051
I'm taking you to your specially
built prison. Don't stress.
278
00:16:50,135 --> 00:16:53,430
They're just gonna sentence
you to a couple of decades.
279
00:16:54,431 --> 00:16:55,932
[weakly] Fuck you.
280
00:16:56,558 --> 00:17:01,146
You'll learn a trade, make some new
friends, and maybe even find God.
281
00:17:02,063 --> 00:17:07,152
- [protestors continue shouting]
- [dramatic music swells]
282
00:17:07,235 --> 00:17:11,573
- [chains clanging]
- [Jones] Cootie! I gotchu', I gotchu'.
283
00:17:11,698 --> 00:17:17,287
You fucking fascist, aluminum fuck!
You fuckin' bitch!
284
00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:22,083
- [coughing] Show him your thing.
- [chains clinking]
285
00:17:22,167 --> 00:17:24,711
Your thing. The thing you do.
286
00:17:24,794 --> 00:17:28,882
- [chains clanging]
- [dramatic music hums]
287
00:17:30,508 --> 00:17:32,510
Hurry up. Before those
thoughts catch up to you.
288
00:17:32,969 --> 00:17:35,889
My thoughts have caught up with me.
They tell me I'm right.
289
00:17:37,056 --> 00:17:40,143
Let me explain why you're wrong.
Three minutes max.
290
00:17:41,728 --> 00:17:47,859
- Why would I do that?
- You're fair. Lookin' to do what's right.
291
00:17:48,693 --> 00:17:53,114
'Cause... You're a storyteller.
You'll appreciate this.
292
00:17:54,949 --> 00:18:00,163
- [gentle somber music]
- Okay. You got me.
293
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,416
Three minutes.
What's your opening line?
294
00:18:03,917 --> 00:18:05,418
[protestors continue shouting]
295
00:18:05,502 --> 00:18:07,104
You're part of the
reason that crime exists.
296
00:18:07,128 --> 00:18:08,838
- Conversation over.
- [Jones] Just listen.
297
00:18:08,922 --> 00:18:12,050
If I'm wrong,
you ain't got nothing to worry about.
298
00:18:12,801 --> 00:18:17,806
Just at least show the people that...
you're a reasonable person.
299
00:18:17,889 --> 00:18:19,349
[protestors shouting angrily]
300
00:18:19,432 --> 00:18:22,936
[Jones] 'Cause you are.
You're the good guy. Right?
301
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:27,524
[softly] Okay.
302
00:18:32,028 --> 00:18:35,782
[spirited suspenseful music swells]
303
00:18:35,865 --> 00:18:39,619
[triumphant orchestral music]
304
00:18:44,958 --> 00:18:48,878
[music intensifies]
305
00:18:55,510 --> 00:19:00,014
[orchestral music continues to swell]
306
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:07,730
[music fades to hum]
307
00:19:09,357 --> 00:19:10,650
[music plays softly]
308
00:19:10,733 --> 00:19:14,153
[Jones] Capitalism must have
unemployment to exist.
309
00:19:14,237 --> 00:19:15,572
[footsteps pattering]
310
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:17,967
[Jones] The way the boss stops you
from asking for more money
311
00:19:17,991 --> 00:19:21,744
is to threaten you implicitly
or explicitly with firing you.
312
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:24,390
If there were full employment,
people could ask whatever pay they want.
313
00:19:24,414 --> 00:19:28,626
- There'd be no one to replace them.
- [Jones and The Hero grunting]
314
00:19:30,420 --> 00:19:32,314
- [office sounds]
- [keyboards clacking, phones ringing]
315
00:19:32,338 --> 00:19:34,382
Publications like the Wall Street Journal
316
00:19:34,465 --> 00:19:37,969
and Financial Times openly worry
when the unemployment rate goes too low
317
00:19:38,052 --> 00:19:41,598
because wages go up,
profit and stock values go down.
318
00:19:42,056 --> 00:19:45,977
Capitalism must have an army of
unemployed workers in order to exist
319
00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:49,439
and what do you have when you have
an army of unemployed workers?
320
00:19:49,564 --> 00:19:52,734
You have an army of unemployed
workers who want to eat.
321
00:19:53,818 --> 00:19:56,571
And humans are not gonna
let themselves just starve.
322
00:19:56,654 --> 00:19:57,654
[electricity hums]
323
00:19:58,156 --> 00:20:02,076
So they get involved...
in illegal business.
324
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,621
- [electricity buzzes]
- [machine sounds]
325
00:20:04,704 --> 00:20:06,304
- [plastic rustling]
- [pills clattering]
326
00:20:06,331 --> 00:20:09,042
[The Hero] You're leaving
out assaults. Murder.
327
00:20:09,125 --> 00:20:13,630
All business, legal and illegal,
uses violence to regulate itself.
328
00:20:14,672 --> 00:20:17,133
- [The Hero scoffs]
- [tense orchestral music continues]
329
00:20:18,301 --> 00:20:19,135
Run.
330
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:23,056
- [whimsical tinny organ music]
- [cashier faintly speaking over intercom]
331
00:20:23,139 --> 00:20:24,390
[Jones] Run!
332
00:20:24,474 --> 00:20:26,911
If you try to run out of the grocery store
with a cart full of groceries,
333
00:20:26,935 --> 00:20:30,939
either you're gonna get away with it
or someone's gonna physically stop you.
334
00:20:31,064 --> 00:20:31,898
[The Hero grunts, groans]
335
00:20:31,981 --> 00:20:34,150
[Jones] Whether it's
the security or the police.
336
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:36,736
[coughing and gasping]
337
00:20:40,073 --> 00:20:41,866
[ominous humming]
338
00:20:42,867 --> 00:20:46,996
[Jones] If say a hotel
neighboring the MCI building
339
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,501
decided they wanted to tear down
your building to make a golf course,
340
00:20:51,584 --> 00:20:54,754
- you'd use violence...
- Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
341
00:20:55,463 --> 00:20:58,424
This is where the law steps
in to make things civilized.
342
00:20:59,342 --> 00:21:04,180
- I have a deed showing my ownership.
- [Jones] Right. So you show the deed.
343
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:05,848
[triumphant orchestral music]
344
00:21:05,932 --> 00:21:07,517
- Fine.
- [paper flaps]
345
00:21:09,435 --> 00:21:12,689
[Jones] The only reason that
piece of paper is worth anything
346
00:21:12,772 --> 00:21:16,025
is because it implies that
men with guns are gonna come
347
00:21:16,109 --> 00:21:18,236
{\an8}to physically enforce
the words written on it.
348
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:20,113
{\an8}[guns cocking in unison]
349
00:21:20,488 --> 00:21:23,199
{\an8}[Jones]
Those men with guns are called police.
350
00:21:23,282 --> 00:21:26,160
{\an8}[police shouting unintelligibly]
351
00:21:26,244 --> 00:21:28,246
{\an8}The paper is a placeholder
for the violence.
352
00:21:28,705 --> 00:21:30,081
[machine whirrs]
353
00:21:30,331 --> 00:21:31,874
Illegal business doesn't have these.
354
00:21:31,958 --> 00:21:34,419
Illegal business practitioners
can't go to court and say,
355
00:21:34,502 --> 00:21:36,897
[in high voice] Your honor, I was supposed
to be buying a whole key of cocaine
356
00:21:36,921 --> 00:21:38,941
from the defendant.
Clearly this is half baking soda.
357
00:21:38,965 --> 00:21:42,385
- I demand restitution.
- [gavel banging]
358
00:21:42,468 --> 00:21:45,054
[stutters] I, I've never seen this
cocaine before in my life.
359
00:21:45,179 --> 00:21:48,099
They can't go to the
zoning commission and say,
360
00:21:48,182 --> 00:21:51,602
"That neighborhood is only
zoned for two heroin vendors.
361
00:21:51,686 --> 00:21:54,188
Unless that guy
has a special emergency permit
362
00:21:54,272 --> 00:21:56,816
or wants to limit himself
to cocaine." [scoffs]
363
00:21:56,941 --> 00:22:01,738
Often, legality or illegality,
is the only thing that determines
364
00:22:01,821 --> 00:22:03,906
whether business dealings
are considered violent.
365
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:05,908
- [chair squeaks loudly]
- [gun cocks]
366
00:22:05,992 --> 00:22:07,118
You're gonna need this
367
00:22:11,748 --> 00:22:14,834
In the 1920's when
liquor was illegal... [giggles]
368
00:22:16,169 --> 00:22:17,628
- Go.
- [gunshot in distance]
369
00:22:17,712 --> 00:22:22,216
- Go! Motherfucka, go!
- [gunshot firing rapidly]
370
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:25,344
If you rob the liquor dude,
gangsters come after you.
371
00:22:25,428 --> 00:22:28,765
- Ha ha ha. [yells] Motherfucka!
- [lively music]
372
00:22:28,848 --> 00:22:31,017
- [Jones] Go!
- [tires squealing]
373
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:35,271
Now that liquor is legal, if you rob
the liquor dude, police come after you.
374
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:36,773
[lively adventurous music]
375
00:22:36,856 --> 00:22:40,151
- In the 1990's...
- [gun cocks]
376
00:22:40,735 --> 00:22:43,071
[Jones] When weed was illegal...
Pick up the bag.
377
00:22:43,154 --> 00:22:46,574
[Jones screaming] Hey, get the fuck on
the fucking ground, bitch!
378
00:22:46,657 --> 00:22:48,469
- [gun clicks]
- [Jones] I'm not fucking with you!
379
00:22:48,493 --> 00:22:51,996
If you robbed the weed dude,
gangsters come after you.
380
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,208
- [unintelligible muttering]
- [Jones] Hey! Hey everyone.
381
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:58,211
- Now that weed is legal...
- [bags rustling]
382
00:22:58,294 --> 00:23:01,714
[Jones] Hey everybody, pretty please,
can you just get the fuck on the ground?
383
00:23:01,798 --> 00:23:04,842
Thank you so much. Not you. Get up.
384
00:23:04,926 --> 00:23:09,013
If you rob the weed dude,
police come after you.
385
00:23:09,097 --> 00:23:11,224
- [sirens wailing]
- [police yelling]
386
00:23:11,516 --> 00:23:14,602
[The Hero breathing heavily]
387
00:23:15,061 --> 00:23:19,398
- [Jones] So... [soft panting[
- [soft apprehensive music]
388
00:23:19,482 --> 00:23:24,487
Capitalism necessitates
unemployment and poverty,
389
00:23:24,654 --> 00:23:29,033
- which necessitates illegal business.
- [people muttering indistinctly]
390
00:23:29,158 --> 00:23:31,828
[Jones] The regulation of which
is what causes violence.
391
00:23:32,954 --> 00:23:34,431
- [gunshots firing]
- [Jones] How do you
392
00:23:34,455 --> 00:23:35,790
tell the whole working class...
393
00:23:36,415 --> 00:23:40,378
That poverty and violence are
necessitated by capitalism
394
00:23:40,461 --> 00:23:43,214
without them deciding
to get rid of capitalism?
395
00:23:46,717 --> 00:23:48,344
You don't.
396
00:23:50,138 --> 00:23:56,185
You tell them poverty is due
to bad choices of those impoverished.
397
00:23:57,353 --> 00:23:59,105
[electronic beeps]
398
00:23:59,188 --> 00:24:01,941
[Jones] But how do you tell
the whole working class
399
00:24:02,024 --> 00:24:06,362
that their economic situation
is due to their poor choices?
400
00:24:07,196 --> 00:24:08,114
You don't.
401
00:24:08,197 --> 00:24:12,076
You tell them that it's the
other that's making bad choices.
402
00:24:12,952 --> 00:24:16,122
That is the culture of the
other that causes this.
403
00:24:16,205 --> 00:24:21,210
You do this via the
news, sitcoms, cop shows,
404
00:24:21,711 --> 00:24:23,129
and superhero shows.
405
00:24:23,754 --> 00:24:25,965
Even when they're smart
enough to hide their point.
406
00:24:26,048 --> 00:24:27,442
- [chains clanging]
- [The Hero grunting]
407
00:24:27,466 --> 00:24:30,720
[Jones] This causes part of the working
class, even the so-called others,
408
00:24:30,803 --> 00:24:33,347
to identify with the ruling class.
409
00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:36,976
A group of us are trying
to change this whole thing.
410
00:24:37,059 --> 00:24:38,102
[ropes creaking]
411
00:24:38,186 --> 00:24:43,733
If you wanted to stop so-called crime
and the violence that grows from it...
412
00:24:45,276 --> 00:24:48,237
- [soft orchestral music]
- You'd be a revolutionary.
413
00:24:49,655 --> 00:24:51,383
- [Jones] But you're not.
- [orchestral music swells]
414
00:24:51,407 --> 00:24:56,037
[Jones] You're a tool that
helps capitalism run smoothly.
415
00:24:56,954 --> 00:25:02,126
A system that creates poverty and
the crime and violence necessitated by it.
416
00:25:03,127 --> 00:25:07,757
- [bright orchestral music]
- [Jones] Man, lock yourself up.
417
00:25:08,925 --> 00:25:10,176
[music stops abruptly]
418
00:25:11,677 --> 00:25:13,012
[birds chirp softly]
419
00:25:13,888 --> 00:25:17,225
[gentle poignant music]
420
00:25:20,811 --> 00:25:23,648
[chains clanging to the ground]
421
00:25:29,028 --> 00:25:31,989
[heavy footsteps]
422
00:25:34,617 --> 00:25:39,580
- [poignant music continues]
- [protestors shouting faintly]
423
00:25:41,207 --> 00:25:43,000
[bodysuit whirs loudly]
424
00:25:44,502 --> 00:25:46,921
[protestors cheering and clapping]
425
00:25:52,593 --> 00:25:54,929
Hey. I told you I shoulda' stayed.
426
00:25:57,431 --> 00:25:59,058
How did you know this would work?
427
00:26:03,604 --> 00:26:05,564
- I'm a...
- [bright inspirational orchestral music]
428
00:26:31,424 --> 00:26:34,760
[dramatic ominous music]
429
00:26:36,679 --> 00:26:39,515
[music continues through credits]
