00:00 (upbeat music)
00:01 - Gonna kill my nemesis!
00:02 - Freak out!
00:03 (guns firing)
00:05 - The thing that has developed very organically
00:07 over a decade with Rick is he's rather unique.
00:11 And the unique thing about him is not how smart he is,
00:14 but rather how he, deep down,
00:16 is different on an emotional level.
00:19 - Wow, the wife guy!
00:20 Dead wife, Rick!
00:21 I'll tell you, this guy does not know when to quit.
00:23 I'm gonna fucking kill you.
00:25 - When Rick Prime invented interdimensional travel,
00:29 he wanted to cajole less fortunate versions of himself
00:33 into a kind of boys club.
00:35 But the number one rule of joining that boys club
00:38 is you gotta let go of your family.
00:40 Our Rick is the Rick that walked away from all of that,
00:44 and that cost him.
00:46 - You never told me he killed your wife across infinity.
00:50 - We learned this crazy truth in this episode,
00:51 which is that Diane didn't just get killed by Rick Prime.
00:55 Rick Prime erased Diane from all realities everywhere.
00:59 - Rick decided nothing would be more valuable in his life
01:03 than hunting down that one version of himself
01:06 that made this happen.
01:08 But there are parts of us that might cost us
01:12 the things that we really want.
01:14 - What?
01:15 Oh, shit!
01:16 - Mm-hmm, knock yourself out!
01:18 - Listen, Rick to Rick, he's got the weapon plans.
01:23 - There's an implicit choice there
01:24 where Evil Morty is giving Rick a decision
01:27 where you can either stay in here
01:28 and beat the shit out of this guy until he's dead,
01:30 which is what you supposedly have always wanted.
01:33 And while you're doing that,
01:34 that's gonna be the reason why I'm walking away
01:36 with the power to destroy everything you ever care about.
01:40 - What's your life without me?
01:41 - Let's find out.
01:43 - When I read that in the script,
01:46 Rick punches him until he's dead, it made perfect sense.
01:50 It didn't need to be anything more elaborate than that.
01:52 - We've just seen all the gadgetry of these two guys
01:56 in the fight scene, and now we just have one guy
01:59 using his wit to taunt another guy
02:01 who's just using his fists.
02:03 I love how it gets shaved down
02:04 to just brutal basics for this scene.
02:07 - He chose to seek vengeance, and we end the episode
02:10 with that weapon in Evil Morty's control.
02:13 - Evil Morty is actually the more powerful villain,
02:16 and powerful villains don't just hide from you
02:19 or fight you, they own you.
02:20 That's something a real god does.
02:22 - How's it feel?
02:24 Better?
02:25 No?
02:25 Exactly the same?
02:27 Yeah, it always does.
02:29 - Killing Rick Prime is just the beginning for Rick,
02:31 because now the rest of his life can begin.
02:33 Who is Rick now that his vengeance is not there anymore?
02:37 Can Rick be happy after he finally accomplished the goal
02:41 that's driven him for decades?
02:43 - The thing that throws Rick off is the realization
02:47 that he gets to do whatever he wants
02:49 for the rest of his short life,
02:51 and you have no more excuses.
02:54 Now what do you do?
