A caltronite bullet, to be exact.

A drug so potent

that we ignored the fact that this alien
once killed a human in cold blood,
89
00:04:44,158 --> 00:04:48,246

a bullet to stop him.

and I'll have her ready for you in...
353
00:19:03,058 --> 00:19:04,058
[knife slashes]
354
00:19:04,101 --> 00:19:06,103
[electricity crackling]
355
00:19:08,272 --> 00:19:09,606
[gasps, gurgles]
356
00:19:10,774 --> 00:19:12,276
[sinister music playing]
357
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:15,112
[announcer] Fatality.
358
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:23,078
[in Mandarin] I cannot be killed.
359
00:19:27,624 --> 00:19:29,084
[music intensifies]
360
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,005
[squelching]
361
00:19:37,426 --> 00:19:38,760
[man grunts]
362
00:19:40,345 --> 00:19:44,141
[Knight Hawk] If I'm gonna investigate
the Guardians and stabilize the planet,
363
00:19:44,224 --> 00:19:47,394
I need someone I can trust,
someone I trained,
364
00:19:47,477 --> 00:19:50,397
someone who has the ear of the president.
365
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,607
[computer beeping]
366
00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:52,858
[Knight Hawk] Computer,
367
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:56,778
locate Red Talon and transmit.
368
00:19:56,862 --> 00:19:59,007
[Red Talon] Your days
of hijacking American subs are over,
369
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:00,616
you sheep-diddling bastard.
370
00:20:00,699 --> 00:20:01,699
[gun fires]
371
00:20:06,246 --> 00:20:07,246
[guard grunts]
372
00:20:09,249 --> 00:20:11,210
[Knight Hawk] Red Talon, come in.
373
00:20:12,085 --> 00:20:14,171
What the fuck do you want,
you geriatric prick?
374
00:20:14,254 --> 00:20:18,091
[Knight Hawk] Red Talon, AKA Mick Mason.
375
00:20:18,175 --> 00:20:22,054
He's still the scared little boy
I took in after his family was murdered.
376
00:20:23,013 --> 00:20:24,681
I found him covered in blood.
377
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:25,599
[screams]
378
00:20:25,682 --> 00:20:28,560
[Knight Hawk] I trained him,
made him my protégé.
379
00:20:28,644 --> 00:20:30,979
I loved him like a son.
380
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:34,191
But like most fathers and sons,
381
00:20:34,274 --> 00:20:35,525
there was tension.
382
00:20:36,026 --> 00:20:38,028
Today, he works for the president.
383
00:20:38,612 --> 00:20:40,447
[Red Talon] Bird Man, long time, no talk.
384
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:42,313
[Knight Hawk] I need your help.
385
00:20:42,366 --> 00:20:44,326
I thought
you looked more like an owl than a hawk.
386
00:20:44,368 --> 00:20:45,744
[Scottish Skull] Intruder alert!
387
00:20:47,955 --> 00:20:49,957
- Kill this bastard.
- [Red Talon] Here we go.
388
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,917
- Red Talon, defending freedom.
- [gun fires]
389
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,629
Red Talon, I want you
to come to the Hawk's Nest.
390
00:20:57,297 --> 00:20:58,507
I have work for you.
391
00:20:59,883 --> 00:21:01,551
[Scottish Skull] Man your stations!
392
00:21:01,635 --> 00:21:03,345
Can't you see I'm a little busy?
393
00:21:04,596 --> 00:21:06,848
Who do you think you're talking to?
394
00:21:07,891 --> 00:21:10,185
[Scottish Skull] The government is here.
395
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:12,729
[Knight Hawk] Did you forget
everything I've taught you?
396
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,273
[man moans]
397
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:18,235
[gun fires three times]
398
00:21:18,318 --> 00:21:19,486
[Knight Hawk] Jesus, Red!
399
00:21:19,569 --> 00:21:23,615
Fuck off. Wait, wait.
No. Before you fuck off, watch this.
400
00:21:23,699 --> 00:21:24,699
Ca-caw!
401
00:21:25,325 --> 00:21:28,412
[Scottish Skull] He's moving
with the grace of a fucking ballerina!
402
00:21:28,495 --> 00:21:29,495
[man grunts]
403
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:31,957
[Knight Hawk]
Guns are gonna get you killed.
404
00:21:32,457 --> 00:21:33,458
No.
405
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:38,588
Guns are so much cooler than Hawk Stars,
406
00:21:38,672 --> 00:21:42,134
or whatever you're throwing at people
these days, fucking pussy.
407
00:21:42,217 --> 00:21:45,178
[Scottish Skull]
he Scottish Skull is going to kill you.
408
00:21:45,262 --> 00:21:46,805
[Knight Hawk] You little shit.
409
00:21:46,888 --> 00:21:50,976
I taught you better than to be
a mindless weapon for the president.
410
00:21:52,394 --> 00:21:56,732
[Scottish Skull] I surrender.
I love America. I want to move there.
411
00:21:56,815 --> 00:21:58,817
[henchman groans]
412
00:22:02,487 --> 00:22:06,408
I should have let those drug-peddling
drug dealers keep that little fuck.
413
00:22:07,242 --> 00:22:09,411
End fucking transmission.
414
00:22:09,494 --> 00:22:10,871
[Scottish Skull] Red Talon,
415
00:22:11,621 --> 00:22:13,707
you may have won the battle,
416
00:22:14,291 --> 00:22:18,462
but I do know
that you will lose the war to me,
417
00:22:18,962 --> 00:22:21,840
the Scottish Skull!
418
00:22:22,841 --> 00:22:24,259
[announcer] Boss battle!
419
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:26,011
[electro music playing]
420
00:22:27,179 --> 00:22:29,181
[thudding]
421
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,066
[announcer] America wins.
422
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:41,818
Flawless victory.
423
00:22:44,321 --> 00:22:45,447
[squeaks]
424
00:22:50,369 --> 00:22:52,454
[Knight Hawk]
With the Guardians as suspects
425
00:22:52,537 --> 00:22:54,956
and Red Talon being an asshole,
426
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,710
I need to turn to something else
to help this investigation.
427
00:22:59,294 --> 00:23:03,423
Within the first hour of Marvelous Man's
death, I did three things.
428
00:23:03,507 --> 00:23:05,217
I locked down the Citadel,
429
00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:07,928
I brought his body to the Hawk's Nest,
430
00:23:08,011 --> 00:23:10,180
and I secured the Cortex.
431
00:23:10,764 --> 00:23:15,602
The Cortex is all that is left
of Cal and his people.
432
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:20,273
The power it gives off
would kill most humans.
433
00:23:20,982 --> 00:23:24,528
It's my best hope for solving his death
434
00:23:24,611 --> 00:23:26,905
and preventing nuclear war.
435
00:23:28,323 --> 00:23:30,659
Cortex, activate.
436
00:23:32,577 --> 00:23:33,870
Begin Neurosync.
437
00:23:33,954 --> 00:23:36,540
[Cortex] Caltronian DNA not detected.
438
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:38,250
[Knight Hawk] Hmm.
439
00:23:38,333 --> 00:23:39,333
Good point.
440
00:23:41,795 --> 00:23:45,215
[Cortex] I would not recommend
human use of the Neurosync.
441
00:23:45,298 --> 00:23:47,467
- [Knight Hawk] Just do it.
- [Cortex] Fine.
442
00:23:48,510 --> 00:23:50,387
[Knight Hawk] Cortex, activate!
443
00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:52,973
[Cortex] Brain pairing initiated.
444
00:23:53,473 --> 00:23:55,684
[computer beeping, whirring]
445
00:23:55,767 --> 00:23:57,769
[computer humming intensely]
446
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,577
[dramatic music playing]
447
00:24:16,788 --> 00:24:18,331
[inaudible]
448
00:24:29,468 --> 00:24:31,219
[inaudible]
449
00:24:37,601 --> 00:24:40,187
[computer powering up]
450
00:24:42,189 --> 00:24:44,608
Hello, Atticus. I am Cortex.
451
00:24:44,691 --> 00:24:45,901
Wow.
452
00:24:45,984 --> 00:24:47,319
[breathes heavily]
453
00:24:47,402 --> 00:24:49,112
Okay. Let's do this.
454
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:55,702
Cortex, upload the bullet vault schematics
I acquired from Lockwood Industries.
455
00:24:55,785 --> 00:24:58,663
I need a list
of every single person on the planet
456
00:24:58,747 --> 00:25:03,502
with the skills or powers necessary
to get past Lockwood's security.
457
00:25:03,585 --> 00:25:07,547
[Cortex] Only two people are fast enough
to get in and out in 0.027 seconds.
458
00:25:07,631 --> 00:25:10,008
First suspect. Motion Blur.
459
00:25:10,091 --> 00:25:12,969
Motion Blur. I didn't even think of him.
460
00:25:13,553 --> 00:25:14,846
[grunts]
461
00:25:14,930 --> 00:25:17,599
[Cortex] Maximum speed,
4,000 kilometers per hour.
462
00:25:17,682 --> 00:25:20,560
Best known for robbing
ten banks simultaneously.
463
00:25:20,644 --> 00:25:23,063
Only known weakness, drug addiction.
464
00:25:23,146 --> 00:25:25,649
Escaped from Bedlam Asylum six months ago.
465
00:25:25,732 --> 00:25:27,943
Current whereabouts unknown.
466
00:25:28,026 --> 00:25:29,444
Second suspect...
467
00:25:29,528 --> 00:25:31,112
[Knight Hawk chuckles] Let me guess.
468
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:32,196
[phone ringing]
469
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,450
[Knight Hawk] Speed,
I need you to track down
470
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:37,994
your arch-nemesis Motion Blur.
471
00:25:38,495 --> 00:25:41,206
He's the lead suspect in my investigation.
472
00:25:41,957 --> 00:25:43,959
[music crescendoes]
473
00:25:45,585 --> 00:25:47,587
[theme music playing]
