Who is Eclipso?

- He's the devil in the shadows.

- -

They murdered men...

- Women... -

Children.

Eclipso's getting stronger.

I really don't know if these kids are ready for this.

Are you sure?

- I'm offering up a truce until Eclipso is nothing more

than a stain on the ground.

When it comes to Eclipso,

you have to fight fire with fire.

- Eclipso feeds off negativity and darkness.

- You have to be bad to defeat evil.

- Turn away from the darkness or you will be consumed.

- It only works if you're all here.

What works?

Finding the darkness within.

The darkness within what?

Courtney Whitmore.

Are you afraid?

You should be very afraid.

I know you can see me for what I really am.

Our friends are coming.

- I told you, that's what I want.

I have the power of darkness.

And it's been growing thanks to all of you.

But I still need...

the power of light.

To do what?

- First things first, Dr. McNider.

You should be more worried

about what I've done to the people in here.

Where's my dad?

- Your father was working late to avoid going home.

Like always.

But your mother was so concerned about you, Beth,

she came here

so they could talk about

her sick, sad daughter.

They're worried--

so worried

that it's gonna kill them both.

I , Dad.

It's all your fault, Dad. You ruined it.

You ruined our family.

Mom! Dad!

You thought I was gonna still love you?

I hate you!

I will always hate you!

No!

Jennie, are you okay?

I had some kind of vision.

I don't know why, but you have to stop Courtney

from going to Eclipso.

It's what he wants. It's what he needs.

They've already gone.

- We lost contact with Beth and Dr. McNider.

Yeah, our phones are out too.

- Beth said Eclipso wasn't there.

- What about your big robot? - He's under repair.

Thanks to you.

Oh, right. My bad.

- Pat, we don't have S.T.R.I.P.E. or Rick.

Jennie's sick and the Thunderbolt's missing.

- You got me. - We don't want you.

Stop it, you two.

What is that?

Come on!

He sounds mad.

- Yeah, Rick should really learn how to meditate.

- - Your dad built that?

S.T.R.I.P.E? Yeah.

Anyway, so my dad said once the Thunderbolt's back

and the robot's fixed up,

we can go meet the JSA at The American Dream.

So we could find a demon?

- Technically, he's more of a monster really.

- Mike, I stop monsters in video games,

but you get a lot of extra lives in video games,

and I use them-- all of them.

Yes!

Dang it! That was fun.

Afraid I've got some bad news, fellas.

Unless I get my hands on a Pratt & Whitney R-4360

to scavenge some engine parts from--

let me tell you, they're hard to come by these days--

this oversized tinker toy is grounded--

for whatever it is you boys are doing.

What exactly are y'all doing?

- Beth? - Dr. McNider?

Hi.

Your friends are busy watching Beth's parents die.

Gosh, you're such a creep.

- Go find Beth. - You sure?

Yeah.

- Beth? Dr. McNider?

Whoa.

You're not being very nice, Yolanda.

- Hey. -

- - Hi.

- This is my friend Cindy. - Hi.

- - Where'd he go?

- You ain't up for this, sweetheart.

Mr. Dugan, in here!

Beth! Dr. McNider?

Oh, Pat Dugan.

So what do you want?

- Oh, I want a piece of you, Pat.

- Yeah? Well, here I am.

All right.

- So it's gonna be like that, huh?

- Uh-huh. That's how it's gonna be.

- You kill one person, Brainwave, of all people,

and you get weepy?

- You ain't got what it takes to get the job done.

Please.

Don't hurt me like you did Mommy.

- I don't care what you look like or what you say.

I'm not afraid.

Oh, yes, you are.

You're no Wildcat.

Hey, Courtney.

You missed.

- You're trying to bring the Shadowlands here.

- Yes, tonight, I will merge the Shadowlands and the Earth.

Then I will be able to consume all of humanity at once.

I will finally end my suffering.

I will become a god.

Look at you, huh.

Dragging these kids into this mess?

For what? For your own ego?

There you go.

Trying to prove you're something more than you are?

You're a grease monkey and a sidekick, right?

It's like what dad always said.

"You're never gonna do anything but disappoint yourself."

- You're forgetting the second part of what dad said.

"Never gonna do anything but disappoint yourself

if you don't be yourself."

- Come on, Dugan. You can't protect your family.

They're all gonna die tonight. The whole world is.

- Pat! It's not real!

None of it is real, Pat.

- Courtney! Behind you!

Damn.

- Rick, you get the hourglass working?

No.

- Okay, well, where are you going?

- To fight. - Rick!

Rick, come back!

- Sorry, boys.

Did the best I could. Called all around the state.

Every salvage yard's closed at this hour.

That robot ain't going anywhere till tomorrow.

- My dad knew it wouldn't be fixed tonight.

- What do you mean? - I mean, he said,

"Come by as soon as S.T.R.I.P.E. was working,"

but I-- - He's trying to protect you.

- Jakeem, he's going in without backup.

I'm back.

You wanted Chinese, I got Chinese.
