- 0:13Obviously I love him, he's my dad.
- 0:19What does that mean? Just say what you want to say.
- 0:23It's just when you add, obviously it feels a little less
- 0:26obvious. So I'll ask again, how do you
- 0:30really feel about your father? It's as if maybe it's a little
- 0:34more complicated than you feel comfortable admitting, which is
- 0:38completely understandable. Look, I love my dad, all right?
- 0:43I love my dad. That's the truth.
- 0:46Loved. That's what I said.
- 0:48You said love. Your dad's dead, so you don't
- 0:50love him. You loved him.
- 0:53Just so sensitive. Listen, if I didn't love him, we
- 0:56wouldn't be here, right? We don't have to get into it.
- 1:00Nope, we're in it now. Why would I be trying to find
- 1:02the man who killed him if I didn't love him?
- 1:04Why would I be doing any of this shit?
- 1:09My nose is bleeding. Thought I was getting
- 1:11emotionally snotty. No, it's probably from when I
- 1:14kicked you in the face. Yeah, thanks for reminding me.
- 1:18So here's what's going to happen.
- 1:21I'm going to hang you off the side of this building and you're
- 1:24going to tell me where Shroud is or I'm going to drop you to your
- 1:28death. Come on, I thought we were
- 1:30having a breakthrough. Hey we did you know for being a
- 1:33real piece of shit you're pretty easy to talk to, but the only
- 1:36breakthrough I need right now is the location of shroud.
- 1:41I'm not telling you shit, you fucking loser.
- 1:44See this is more like how I thought this.
- 1:46Would I hope Shroud kills you just like he killed your father?
- 1:48I hope he fucking spanks your little daddy as you bitch ass to
- 1:51death. You hear me?
- 1:53Are we outside? Windy up here tonight.
- 1:55Why are we outside? No telling where you live.
- 1:58Smells like outside smells. Wait, wait, wait.
- 2:02Wait, I have neighbors. Use your inside voice and just
- 2:06tell me where shroud is. OK OK.
- 2:09Steel Steel mill. Llewellyn.
- 2:12Llewellyn steel works. OK.
- 2:13Fuck. You sure about that?
- 2:15Yes. Please, that's all I know.
- 2:17Stop screaming, God damn it. Hey, hey, hey.
- 2:21I will. Pull you up.
- 2:22If you quiet the fuck down, Sir, if you want something to scream
- 2:33about, I'll give you something to scream about.
- 2:37Oh no. No.
- 2:44No, you piece of shit. Hey, I ruined a perfectly good
- 2:48mattress to make sure you didn't die, OK?
- 2:51You're welcome. No.
- 5:36All right, next one. Just one more.
- 6:49Hey, can I get a copy of that video when we're through here?
- 6:54Because it's over Shroud and it would be nice to watch that back
- 6:58at a different angle. Oh no.
- 7:00It's over, Shroud. All this build up face to face
- 7:05with your father's killer and you come in here with that lame
- 7:08shit. Where the fuck is Shroud?
- 7:10He'll be here in a bit. Oh hey, after our conversation I
- 7:14asked him about your dad. Fun little tidbit, he was very
- 7:18well hydrated. Turns out right after Shroud
- 7:21shot him in the chest. Your dad pissed.
- 7:23His pants. But you didn't know that, huh?
- 7:26So after that bullet tore through his insides, he still
- 7:29had enough time to know how absolutely fucked he was.
- 7:34Just pissed himself like a little bitch.
- 7:36It was like so much piss because your dad was wearing shorts.
- 7:40So just kept. I get it.
- 8:04Starting to think I didn't need to waste a perfectly good
- 8:07mattress to break your fall perfectly.
- 8:09Good. I assume that cum stain thing
- 8:12was already in the dumpster. Can.
- 8:13We just skip to the part where you reveal your bullshit
- 8:16superpower so we can fight for real
- 8:30cool Dick. So you got some kind of clever
- 8:33supervillain name. You can call me toxic bro.
- 8:37That works on so many levels for you.
- 8:39Yeah, no shit, that's the point. Your trout's augments are pretty
- 8:47good when normies like you use them when you put them on
- 8:50someone who already has powers. Fucking chef's kiss.
- 11:59None. So what do you got left on them
- 12:20Shields? I said 40%, but Boss Man says
- 12:23you're down to 28 and he is not wrong about that thing.
- 12:31Good news, buddy. Trout says he just wants the
- 12:34Astro Pulse, which we all know isn't really yours anyway.
- 12:51System check, calculate the damage per second hitting
- 12:54Shields, then tell me how many seconds I need to divert Astral
- 12:57Pulse energy to Rocket Boosters 12. .89 seconds of damage before
- 13:03critical. Oh hey Boss Man says if you're
- 13:05planning on diverting sorry pulse power to the boosters it
- 13:09won't work. This is a limited time offer.
- 13:13Dude what's up? You were so fucking talkative
- 13:15earlier. I'm just the messenger here.
- 13:20You said you're not calculating that your leg, dumb ass.
- 13:25Fuck it. It was just over four months ago
- 14:53that images like this were recorded across the Southland.
- 14:56Videos flooded social media and our newsroom showing what menu?
- 15:00Got to. Read The Death of Mecca Man
- 15:05again. For nearly 50 years, a Mecca Man
- 15:09has protected Los Angeles. Built by an ordinary civilian
- 15:13with no superpowers, this first suit was dubbed by some fans as
- 15:18Mecca Man Prime 3. Generations of pilots, their
- 15:22identities kept secret, have given everything to protect this
- 15:25community, including their lives.
- 15:28After the tragic passing of Prime, the next Mecca Man, known
- 15:32as Astral, teamed up with a star-studded superhero group
- 15:36known as the Brave Brigade, leading to an unprecedented
- 15:39period of peace in the Southland.
- 15:42After years of loyal service, tragedy struck again when
- 15:45Shroud, a former Brave Brigade member turned villain, killed
- 15:49the pilot of Mecca Man. In cold blood.
- 15:52But yet again, as hope was lost, a third generation of Mecca Man
- 15:56emerged, A Mecca Man for the modern era, a bulwark against
- 16:01organized crime in the greater Los Angeles area.
- 16:04Until today. Earlier today, Mecca Man broke
- 16:08his silence and addressed the media.
- 16:21There's been a lot of speculation about my health in
- 16:24the state of the Mecca Man suit, and I'm here to put that
- 16:27speculation to rest. The suit has been damaged beyond
- 16:30my ability to repair, so I will be stepping back from superhero
- 16:34work effective immediately. Does.
- 16:38This mean you're finished you. Repair your snacks from Mecca
- 16:40man. Does this mean your career is
- 16:42over? One at a time, please.
- 16:45Ashley Rynes, San Pedro Daily Do you have anything to say to your
- 16:49fans? The public outpouring the
- 16:51vigils, a lot of them were worried you wouldn't wake up.
- 16:56Everything I've done, every sacrifice me and my family have
- 16:58made has been for the people of Los Angeles.
- 17:03Next question. Chris.
- 17:05Stratton Torrance Tribune Does this mean you're retiring as
- 17:08Mecca? Man?
- 17:09Word on the street is you're dunzo.
- 17:11Are you 100 years old or are you talking like that?
- 17:15Answer the question, buddy boy, are you retiring?
- 17:18My readers need the skinny and I aim to deliver.
- 17:21Let's get it on the record. I'm not looking to comment on
- 17:24that just yet. That's the only skinny I can
- 17:27give you. All right, just one more,
- 17:30please. I got to get back to just just
- 17:33one more. Preferably someone from the
- 17:35century. Charles Kingsley, South Bay
- 17:38Signal So Shroud kills your father, goes to jail 15 years,
- 17:44breaks out and immediately dupes you into a trap where he
- 17:47destroys the Mecca man suit and puts you in a coma for months.
- 17:53I didn't hear a question in there.
- 17:55Two parter first, why didn't Shroud kill you?
- 17:59You haven't been conscious for months.
- 18:02It'd be easy money taking you out.
- 18:04OK, Shroud wanted the Astral Pulse and Mecca Man gone.
- 18:08He got both. I'm not sure I mattered much.
- 18:11Right, you're unimportant. Which leads me to my next
- 18:15question. Most heroes avenge their family.
- 18:18You did the opposite. You killed their legacy.
- 18:23How disappointed would your dad be if he were here right now?
- 18:28Your father, your grandfather, they must be rolling over in
- 18:32their graves. I think he'd be proud because
- 18:37I'm alive, which, as you so sensitively pointed out, he
- 18:42isn't. I think he knows that I
- 18:45sacrificed everything and that I did my best being mecha man.
- 18:49Protecting my community was the greatest honor I'll ever have.
- 18:54Now I have to live knowing that. Thank you for coming.
- 19:09Up next is Mecca Man, a Mecca quitter.
- 19:14Yeah, I mean. It seemed like it'd be better if
- 19:16he died than. Be a Mecca coward.
- 19:18You know what kind of example is he setting?
- 19:22Stay tuned to find out. Hey, assholes.
- 19:42Yeah, just put the TV's back and you can leave.
- 19:45I won't say anything to the cops.
- 19:47And this doesn't need to escalate.
- 19:49Hey. What are you?
- 19:50Calling assholes asshole. I'll handle.
- 19:53This idiot. Keep loading, we're out of.
- 19:55Here in 30. And who the fuck?
- 19:57Are you? Yeah, you go go fucking hobo
- 20:01Ranger. Who the fuck are you?
- 20:06Right now I'm someone with nothing to lose, which is
- 20:09probably bad news for you. Well.
- 20:11With nothing you have, you're about to.
- 20:13Lose again. Whatever the case, I'm going to
- 20:16have to deal with a pack of fucking Skittles idiots like
- 20:18you. God.
- 20:21Damn it, look, you're. Hurt.
- 20:24You're not thinking straight. You don't want to fight someone
- 20:27who knows which hand every punch is coming from.
- 20:52What the? That guy I threw, he landed on
- 21:06the roof, right? Oh good.
- 21:10Phew. Hi, I'm blonde Blazer.
- 21:13I work over at Superhero Dispatch Network.
- 21:16Hey, Hi. Yeah, I know who you are.
- 21:19You're like, famous. Oh, I don't know about that.
- 21:24I'm just a corporate hero for hire.
- 21:28You're the real deal. You're the famous. 1 right.
- 21:34I don't think infamous is the same as famous, but.
- 21:38Oh God, your arm fuck. Oh, yeah, that's gross.
- 21:44Yeah. You look like some kind of mime
- 21:47DJ. Let me see it, I'll help you.
- 21:52Usually dislocates the other way.
- 21:54OK. But have you done this before?
- 21:56Because maybe. OK, Wow.
- 22:01That's that's OK. Thank you.
- 22:06One of them is on that roof. You look like you could use a
- 22:13drink. What makes you say that they
- 22:17were? All Skittles colored.
- 22:29I didn't even realize. That Yeah, well, you know what?
- 22:31They can taste the rainbow in jail.
- 22:34What do you mean like different colored Dicks?
- 22:40Sorry. I actually didn't know what I
- 22:42meant, but you know what? It should have been that.
- 22:45I'm a little buzzed. I don't really make jokes like
- 22:47that. I think Vizzy's rubbing off on
- 22:50me. Who?
- 22:52Someone I work with, it's yeah. I can't tell which one of us had
- 23:06the rough day. Oh no, I had a great day.
- 23:10Well, that's not totally true. Oh, you're joking.
- 23:15Sorry, it's fine, don't worry about keeping up.
- 23:19Something to do with the powers it.
- 23:21It takes a lot for me to feel anything.
- 23:25What is that sentence? Hey, you should give yourself
- 23:30more credit to do what you did for as long as you did,
- 23:34especially without superpowers. Not true.
- 23:37What do you call this? I can fix that one for you too,
- 23:41no? Thanks, I like this one.
- 23:44Thank you. So how did you afford all that?
- 23:51You must have spent hundreds of thousands of.
- 23:54Millions so you'll understand when the check comes.
- 23:57You're serious. Millions.
- 24:00Yeah, I basically burned through my entire inheritance keeping it
- 24:03going. The last couple years I've just
- 24:06been duct tape and sheer termination.
- 24:11Why did you do it? Do what?
- 24:13Sacrifice everything to be a superhero to the point of
- 24:16financial. Ruin.
- 24:19I was going to say hardship, but ruin was the first word that
- 24:22came to mind. Yeah, you must be completely
- 24:25broke at this point. In retrospect, I don't really
- 24:31know. Now that's a sad sentence.
- 24:36Yes, it is. So are you drunk yet or what?
- 24:46Yeah, yeah, I should probably be switching to water.
- 24:49Good, because I was hoping after some drinks to loosen you up, I
- 24:53could learn a little more about you and if all that went well,
- 24:59present you with a proposition. A proposition.
- 25:04Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out if this is a fit or not, you
- 25:07know? Then it's just a matter of
- 25:09picking the right moment. Well, I have to say, Blazer,
- 25:13that does sound intriguing. That's actually not water.
- 25:20Not this is like pure alcohol. It's not like alcohol.
- 25:23It is alcohol. I know because you spit it
- 25:26directly into my open mouth. That's water that see how it has
- 25:31ice in it. You drink hard liquor from a
- 25:33pint glass. Actually, I usually just drink
- 25:35it straight from the bottle, but I thought that would be
- 25:38embarrassing. I'm going to go clean.
- 25:43Up. I'm so sorry.
- 25:45No, it's fine. I will be right back.
- 25:51What are you doing? Hey bitch, hey bitch all.
- 26:02Right, just so you know, I only turned around because someone
- 26:04yelled, not because I'm a bitch or anything.
- 26:07Don't you watch the news? This is a superhero bar.
- 26:11Oh wow, are you a superhero? That's so cool.
- 26:15This is your power. You're like, tell people.
- 26:18Obvious shit guy. Why are you really going to have
- 26:22You don't Remember Me? Wait, it's coming back to me.
- 26:26Hold on. Yeah, it's coming back to me.
- 26:29Oh, wait, wait. Oh I know it.
- 26:34You are a doctor, don't do shit. Your deal is you walk up to
- 26:37people, look threatening, talk a big game, then don't do shit
- 26:40about it. Also, you're not a real doctor
- 26:43because you're a fucking idiot. That.
- 26:49Is damn feel good? Sorry.
- 26:51I choked in my spit. No, like a bitch, I control the
- 26:58fire. The fire.
- 27:00And the flame and my skin does not burn.
- 27:04I am flambe. And you wait.
- 27:08Oh shit, I do remember you. You're that shitty villain I
- 27:11busted up. Not anymore like a Dick, as I
- 27:15literally just said I am flambe a real superhero and you are not
- 27:21like a man anymore so you need to get the fuck out of here.
- 27:26No, we can do this the easy way. Sorry, which way was that?
- 27:34Hey. No punch up.
- 27:38You're. Literally fanning the flames
- 27:39right now. Shit.
- 27:41Yeah, you're right. Anybody got a rug?
- 27:46You got a drop and roll lad. Thought he doesn't burn.
- 27:52Some people become scared. Before they even.
- 27:54Know they're hurt like babies. Hey mecha Dick, get the fuck out
- 28:06of here. I get it.
- 28:08Can you just tell Blazer I'm outside?
- 28:13Relax, I'm breathing. Hey, I couldn't find you.
- 28:29It's cool, I was just admiring the art in this dumpster.
- 28:34I can't tell why anyone would put those words together.
- 28:39Why are you holding drinks? Nightcap.
- 28:41You're in trouble. Actually, according to the
- 28:44bartender, that's exactly what you are.
- 28:47What happened in there? I walk out and the bartender's
- 28:50pissed. The whole energy is awkward.
- 28:53And why did it smell like burnt hair?
- 28:58Yeah, it's crazy. This guy, he just fell down.
- 29:01A guy fell down. Yeah, does that not sound
- 29:06convincing enough? I hold these.
- 29:08I know a place. It's done.
- 29:12It's a little out there, easier if we fly.
- 30:06I actually thought you were taking us to sit on it.
- 30:09Oh yeah, that would have been cool.
- 30:13I know. Yeah, this, this is better
- 30:15'cause you can see it and it, it looks like there's a couple up
- 30:18there already, so. I really appreciate you coming
- 30:20to my rescue back there. I still think I could have
- 30:22handled it, but all I'm trying to say is thanks.
- 30:28I should have just said that, but yeah, I'm still talking.
- 30:33Don't you worry about it, Robert Robertson.
- 30:40How do you know my name? Oops.
- 30:44What's going on? OK, I'll tell you, but only
- 30:48after you tell me how you ended up with a name like that.
- 30:52Oh, you mean a name like Robert Robertson the Third?
- 30:54The third three times this happened.
- 30:58There was Grandpa Bobby, then my dad, who I called Dad, but
- 31:02everyone else called Robbie and then me Robert because I wanted
- 31:07to be taken seriously. Family tradition.
- 31:10In more ways than one, Gramps was the first Mecca man.
- 31:14He died in the Sioux before I was born.
- 31:17Dad was killed fighting Shroud. That's when I took over.
- 31:21There was a little inheritance and the life insurance money.
- 31:25I'm so sorry, I didn't realize. Just your run-of-the-mill sad
- 31:31superhero origin story. The family tradition, if there
- 31:35is one, is dying in that suit, which I guess I don't have to
- 31:40worry about anymore. What is it?
- 31:45I'm not quite drunk enough to share my origin story just yet,
- 31:50but remind me to tell you someday.
- 31:54Definitely. Sorry, I'm actually here with a
- 32:25purpose. The way I went about things
- 32:29tonight, I'm sorry. It was all a little loose, a
- 32:33little unprofessional. Unprofessional.
- 32:36I'm not sure that that applies to this.
- 32:40I'm actually here on official business.
- 32:42How I know your name? The proposition I mentioned
- 32:45right before you spit in my mouth.
- 32:47Still mortified about that. It's fine.
- 32:50Do you remember a superhero named Track *?
- 32:53Remember, of course, he's like family that I haven't talked to
- 32:57in a while. What about him?
- 32:59I work with him at SDN. He recommended you, mentioned
- 33:03that he worked with your father. Yeah, he was the youngest member
- 33:06of the Brave Brigade, so he was kind of my babysitter for a
- 33:10while. How's he doing?
- 33:12He's doing great. He's he's why I'm here.
- 33:17Robert, I would like to make you an offer in exchange for
- 33:21dispatching and mentoring some of our rookie heroes.
- 33:25SDN can make you Mecca Man again, but this time with all
- 33:29the resources that accompany as big as ours has at their
- 33:31disposal. No more paying out of pocket for
- 33:34repairs, support staff, the whole shebang.
- 33:38My suit was totally destroyed. I saw the report, studied the
- 33:43footage. It's not totally destroyed, just
- 33:47mostly it's a big investment. It'll take considerable time and
- 33:54money to get the suit repaired and the missing pieces replaced.
- 33:58Plenty of time to learn how to dispatch and level up some of
- 34:01the heroes on our roster. Your experience, your work
- 34:05ethic, your perspective, it's all invaluable.
- 34:10Share it Robert, you have a lot left to give.
- 34:14And what if I say no? Then I'll hate you forever and
- 34:19they'll push you off this billboard.
- 34:21Wow. Yeah.
- 34:22And no one suspect a thing. Nope, not a one.
- 34:27Wait, so you want me dispatching?
- 34:30What's that even mean? Oh right, I was supposed to test
- 34:33you at the bar here. The drunk people shouldn't be
- 34:37throwing things at drunk. People noted.
- 34:41Am I waiting or are you waiting? What's going?
- 34:44On. It was supposed to open up when
- 34:46I threw it to you. OK, there, pop it on.
- 34:49This is part of the assessment. And don't move too much in
- 34:52there. You're sitting on the edge of
- 34:54the Billboard. Greetings and welcome to this
- 34:59training simulation. We may be superheroes, but we're
- 35:03nothing without SDN's real hero, the dispatcher.
- 35:08So, dispatcher, where do we start?
- 35:15Well, well, it appears we've got our first call from a
- 35:19subscriber. I saw some scary suspicious.
- 35:23Men last night. Leaving the old movie theater.
- 35:26You'll receive requirements to help you determine which heroes
- 35:29to send. Such an array of brave heroes to
- 35:35choose from. How could you possibly pick just
- 35:39one? This graph will show you what a
- 35:42hero does well and not so well. A hero with a knack for vigor
- 35:49and combat looks right for the job.
- 35:54That sounds like me. Now that at least one hero is
- 36:01being dispatched, it's time to get to work.
- 36:06A wise choice. I will now return to SDN.
- 36:22When a hero returns to SDN, they'll need some much needed
- 36:26R&R. That stands for Rest and
- 36:29Relaxation. Don't forget to review your
- 36:36hero's performance. They won't be sent out again
- 36:39until you do. On SDN state-of-the-art graph,
- 36:45we can see an analysis of what skills the call required.
- 36:51Let's see how well I did after responding to that caller's,
- 36:55well, call. There's no such thing as a
- 37:02perfect fit. Use your intellect and your
- 37:05roster to your advantage. The more that my skills align
- 37:10with the needs of the job, the more likely I am to succeed.
- 37:24Organized criminals, often led by figurehead super villains,
- 37:28are the scourge of Southern California.
- 37:30We work tirelessly to root them out.
- 37:40We've got a potential villain hideout on the college campus.
- 37:43Sometimes the solution is brains, not brown.
- 37:46SDN's diverse array of heroes can solve any problem.
- 38:09Gladly, if these streets can talk,
- 38:43what can I say? A lot, actually.
- 39:04Let me balance the skills. One of your heroes needs you as
- 39:14their leader. Your heroes will look to you,
- 39:17make choices, and follow where they lead.
- 39:34These choices need the right skill.
- 39:37Remember each of your hero's strengths and weaknesses.
- 39:50Convoy of Diablo. 'S goons are harrying the
- 39:52highway. Patrol.
- 39:54As if traffic in this city was not bad enough.
- 39:57Speaking of traffic and going places, does SDN offer paid time
- 40:03off to take vacations? Of course, PTO accrues at a
- 40:07regular rate over time. Use it however you like, as long
- 40:11as you discuss your schedule with your manager well in
- 40:13advance. What?
- 40:14The fuck is a PTO? Justice will prevail.
- 40:22A sound approach. There's a giant monster
- 40:25attacking downtown. Same.
- 40:27As SDN. The smart choice.
- 40:53I need help getting to my doctor's appointment.
- 40:59No sooner said than done. Oh God, no.
- 41:06Help us. We're being held hostage.
- 41:08Send help please. You can find suggestions on how
- 41:11to handle hostage situations on page 234 of SDN's Guide to
- 41:16Dispatch it. Flattery will get you
- 41:18everywhere. SDN values work life balance.
- 41:23When the bell rings, your shift will end very soon.
- 41:31Folks call me justice. Sometimes a hero can use their
- 41:39talents to tip the scales. They are superheroes after all.
- 41:51El Diablo's threat has been eliminated.
- 41:55The children are safe and sound. El Diablo's goons are running
- 42:04scared. We're right on the heels.
- 42:05Of his sidekick El Diablito. Exactly right.
- 42:35SDN solves all problems, big and small.
- 42:39We never ignore the people of the city, particularly the
- 42:42elderly. Speaking of retirement, quick
- 42:44question phenomena man. Does SDN offer four O 1K
- 42:48matching? Yes, but there are limitations.
- 42:51Your HR representative will have all the details.
- 43:09Our shift is done, now it is time for lunch.
- 43:12You couldn't. Have done it without you
- 43:13dispatcher. Too true.
- 43:15I'm going to enhance my break time with some of the snack
- 43:18offerings in our break room vending machines.
- 43:21Great idea. Thank you again, dispatcher.
- 43:24I hope to be seeing a lot more of you.
- 43:27Goodbye for now, and don't forget to be phenomenal.
- 43:31Did he just say phenomenal? Well, looks like I'm great at
- 43:36this. So that's going to be bad for
- 43:38your negotiating position. I expect a lengthy.
- 43:47Did I drool on you? I don't think so.
- 43:50Well, you see why we thought of, well, why Trackstar thought of
- 43:54you it. Makes sense, yeah.
- 44:01Meet me at the SDN offices tomorrow.
- 44:05I'm not done saving you yet. Is there a ladder or?
- 44:25Sorry I'm late the. Folks at Esteem are the best in
- 44:50the business. I met a nice lady, she wants to
- 44:57help us out.
