Beck infiltrated the dirigible carrying the scientist Shaw, and successfully stole the power upgrade weapon Shaw had been bringing to Tesler. However, Shaw was derezzed in a crazed attempt to fight back, and Tron, upset that the scientist had not been retrieved too, ordered Beck to destroy the weapon. Beck, however, was ambushed by Tesler's forces, and used the weapon to his life, managing to defeat all of the attacking Black Guards and Paige's Light Copter. However, the weapon changed him; along with providing its promised massive power upgrade, it turned his eyes a sinister red and transformed him into a twisted beast of unimaginable power.
'''Beck: '''You're a scientist, Shaw, not a murderer. You can help programs instead of helping to destroy them.
 
   
  +
Wearing the weapon, Beck returned to Able's garage, where he shocked Mara by attacking and nearly derezzing Hopper. Instead of destroying the weapon, he eavesdropped on a conversation between Able and Copper, and determined to follow them aboard Tesler's command ship and destroy the giant battle tank they were delivering. However, the resulting battle resulted in injuries to Able, and Beck, bringing him back to the garage unconscious, began to have second thoughts.
'''Shaw: '''I can't help these programs anymore than you can!
 
   
  +
He headed back to the hideout, facing Tron's anger at his failure to destroy the weapon. Beck tried to convince Tron that he needed the weapon to succeed as the Renegade, but when Tron attempted to take it from him and he instinctively fought back and nearly injured his mentor, he realized the monster he was turning into and was not justified by the power it granted.
'''Tron: '''A massive power upgrade of speed and agility. If this weapon had been on its way to Tessler, its forces would've been insurmountable.
 
   
  +
Beck went back to the garage, only to find that Pavel had taken the programs working there hostage. He snuck into the facility to destroy the weapon with the garage's high-powered welder, but Pavel stole the weapon from the welder pad when his back was turned. The resulting battle turned the welder's beam loose, causing a great deal of damage in the garage. Beck used his stealth and willpower to defeat Pavel by dropping on him from above, and then held the disc high in the air, allowing the beam from the energy welder to slice it in half.
'''Beck: '''So I did good?
 
   
  +
Later, Beck and Zed watched Mara patch up her injured arm. Mara wished she could thank "Tron" for saving her from the wreckage of the garage. Beck remarked that it was Zed who had saved her, evading Zed's later questioning as to how he'd known what had happened when he apparently hadn't been there.
'''Tron: '''What about the scientist? The idea was to bring him in alive!
 
   
  +
Pavel returned to Tesler defeated, but when he returned to his office and reflected on the severed half of the weapon he was shocked and overjoyed to see it repair itself.
'''Beck: '''He attacked me. I tried to save him, but I couldn't.
 
   
  +
==Trivia==
'''Tron: '''Then this prototype is all that's left of the technology. If General Tessler believes this was destroyed, it should but us some time.
 
  +
*The events of this episode has caused a lot of damage to Beck's reputaiton, as many programs (mainly members of the occupation) have viewed Beck as some kind of monster. Even Tesler has [[TRON: Uprising S01E08 The Reward|had nightmares about The Renegade]].

*Beck appears to have developed a slight temper after this episode.
'''Beck: '''To do what?
 
 
'''Tron: '''Destroy it.
 
 
'''Beck: '''How do we do that?
 
 
'''Tron: '''Know any easily accessible high-powered energy welders?
 
 
'''Beck: '''If only we knew someone who worked at a garage. Wait. ''I ''work at a garage.
 
 
'''Tron: '''This weapon is far more dangerous than you know, Beck. Destroy it immediately.
 
 
I'm serious.
 
 
'''Beck: '''When are you ever not serious?
 
 
Don't worry. I'll take care of it, I promise.
 
 
(sees smoke from afar) Looks like trouble.
 
 
Hang on. I'll get you out.
 
 
Come on, let's go.
 
 
(realizes it was a trap) On second thought, ''I'll'' go.
 
 
'''Paige: '''You have something that belongs to me.
 
 
'''Beck: '''You want it? Come get it!
 
 
'''Paige: '''I was hoping you'd say that.
 
 
'''Hopper: '''Time's up, Zed. Where the tank?
 
 
'''Zed: '''Able's working on it. You know--finishing touches.
 
 
'''Hopper: '''We need it ''now.''
 
 
'''Zed: '''That's great, but lasty I checked, we don't work for you.
 
 
'''Hopper: '''Wrong again, Zed. Because we're here as representatives of Tessler's army.
 
 
'''Beck: '''That's funny. I don't see any Tessler. And I certainly don't see any army.
 
 
'''Zed: '''Beck, I can handle this.
 
 
'''Beck: '''If I were you, I'd leave before things get embarrassing.
 
 
'''Hopper: '''You know what's embarrassing--how fast you're gonna hit the ground. The two of us versus one of you.
 
 
'''Beck: '''Wow, Hopper.
 
 
I had no idea you could count that high.
 
 
(slams Hopper into the ground and almost derezzes him) You're right. That ''was'' embarrassing.
 
 
'''Mara: '''Beck, don't!
 
 
What is wrong with you?
 
 
You could've seriously hurt them!
 
 
'''Hopper: '''Just wait until Tessler hears about this!
 
 
'''Zed: '''Gee, thanks a lot, Beck.
 
 
'''Beck: '''What's ''your ''problem?
 
 
'''Zed: '''You should've let me handle it. instead, you made me look like a coward in front of Mara!
 
 
'''Beck: '''I didn't ''make ''you look like anything.
 
 
And if you don't want people to think you're a coward, then ''stop'' acting like one!
 
 
'''Tessler: '''I see my tank has arrived. Assemle a team for an inspection.
 
 
'''Pavel: '''Right away, sir.
 
 
'''Beck: '''You want to know what ''I ''see? I see a coward... hiding behind minions and lackeys.
 
 
'''Tessler: '''I'm not the one dressing up, hiding behind the memory of a dead program!
 
 
'''Garage program 2:''' Finally. I thought this shift would never end.
 
 
'''Garage program 1: '''If Able asks me to pull another double--
 
 
'''Garage program 2: '''(sees Albe injured) Able! Come on, help me get him inside!
 
 
'''Garage program 1: '''Zed! Mara! Able's been hurt!
 
 
'''Mara: '''Oh! Is he alright?
 
 
How did this happen?
 
 
'''Able: '''(weakly) Tron.
 
 
'''Mara: '''He did this?
 
 
'''Able: '''No. He was trying to take out Tessler. There was an explosion and Tron saved me.
 
 
'''Zed: '''Sound to me like the Renegade almost got you killed!
 
 
'''Mara: '''Zed!
 
 
'''Zed: '''What?! This guy's no Tron. He's a menace! And it's only a matter of time before we all end up casualties just like Able--or worse.
 
 
'''Guard: '''We've searched the ship, sir. No sign of him anywhere.
 
 
'''Pavel: '''Perhaps, General, it's time to try a new approach. Rather than draw out the Renegade using soldiers, which didn't quite work out so well for ''Paige, ''might I recommend using some other form of bait?
 
 
Innocent programs, sir--hostages.
 
 
'''Tessler: '''And where will we find these hostages?
 
 
'''Bartik: '''Sir, I believe we have a suggestion.
 
 
'''Pavel: '''Greetings, programs. By orders of General Tessler, this garage and everyone in it now belongs to the government. Consider yourselves prisoners of war.
 
 
'''Tron: '''I thought I told you to get rid of the weapon. You lied to me! If Tessler hadn't recovered it--
 
 
'''Beck: '''But he didn't.
 
 
'''Tron: '''You got lucky.
 
 
'''Beck: '''Luck's got nothing to do with it. I took care of him on my own.
 
 
'''Tron: '''Listen to yourself. That weapon is poison, Beck.
 
 
And now, because of you, Tessler's ready to derez everyone in that garage until you turn it over.
 
 
And he won't stop there.
 
 
'''Beck: '''Then help me. Please. I can use it to save my friends. Teach me how to control it--
 
 
'''Tron: '''You can't!
 
 
You have to destroy it.
 
 
'''Beck: '''No. I ''need ''it.
 
 
'''Tron: '''Then your friends are already dead.
 
 
This kind of power comes at a price, Beck.
 
 
If you won't destroy it, I will.
 
 
'''Beck: '''(realizes how bad the weapon was making him) I-I didn't mean...
 
 
'''Tron: '''Now do you see why it needs to be destroyed?
 
 
I chose you for a reason, Beck.
 
 
You're strong--buth physically and mentally.
 
 
Now prove it.
 
 
'''Pavel:''' Did't anyone ever tell you?
 
 
Never leave your valuables unattended.
 
 
My my my... How the mighty have fallen!
 
 
I've always been smarter than you. But now I'm faster... and stronger... now I'm indestructible!
