Nate knocked on the door to the Whitmore-Dugan house. Barbara opened the door.
Barbara: Nate, come in. Courtney and Yolanda are upstairs.
Nate: Thanks, Barbara, but I need to speak to Pat.
Barbara: Oh, he's in the kitchen.
Nate walked into the house and made his way to the kitchen.
Nate: Pat.
Pat: Nate, what's up?
Nate: It was never him, Pat.
Pat: What? Who are you talking about?
Nate: It was never my dad, it was always Eon.
Pat: Damn it. I'm so sorry, Nate.
Nate: He killed my mom, Pat. I lost them both. And now, I don't know what to do.
Pat: Hey, we'll figure it out.
Nate: You don't understand. He has the Omnitrix, Pat. He has access to Alien X. I am the only one who can stop him.
Pat: God. Well, are you... prepared to do it?
Nate: I don't know. But, it's the last resort we'd have.
Courtney: Hey, guys, what are you two talking about?
They turned to see Courtney and Yolanda had come from upstairs.
Nate: It's not important. Yolanda, I heard what happened, are you okay?
Yolanda: I don't think my family kicking me out will ever be okay.
Nate: I'm here for you, whatever you need.
Yolanda: Thank you.
Courtney: Hey, Nate, can I talk to you for a sec?
Nate: Uhm, sure.
Nate and Courtney walk into another room.
Courtney: So, you and Yolanda?
Nate: She told you?
Courtney: I'm her best friend.
Nate: Yep. But that's not why you dragged me out of the room, what's up?
Courtney: I want to do something and I need your support. Yolanda has already backed me up. I need a majority with me on this.
Nate: What is it?
Courtney: I want to tell Cameron everything. Who we are, what we do-
Nate: And why we killed his dad?
Courtney: He deserves to know.
Nate: Court, you realize that if he doesn't like the reason, he knows who we are, where we live and would most definitely come after us?
Courtney: He wouldn't do that.
Nate: You can't guarantee that.
Courtney: You brought people in without asking the team.
Nate: Yeah, my family and, to be fair, they did eventually try to kill us, Courtney.
Courtney: And now they aren't, see my point?
Nate: Not really, no. Probably because there isn't one.
Courtney: Why won't you consider this?
Nate: Because I don't trust him enough, honestly.
Courtney: Do you trust me?
Nate: That's not fair.
Courtney: Trust me that Cameron can be trusted.
