01x06 - Family of Orphans

[bunniefuu]

Narrator: Morning.

Glad you joined me.

Ultra City... a bad
place to be alone.

Ask Little Grace.
She'll tell you.

I won't be with
you much, this one.

I mentioned that other
job has me hopping.

Today.

Lady Andrea: Where
are you, honey?

I'm getting a little worried.

I'm here for the
underground semis.

Wrestling announcer:
Cool. Come on in.

You're gonna be wrestling
a series of chimps.

World's Most Dangerous Man: Donella
Smith... Did you handle that?

Kevin: Oh, that is handled.

Now, we need to do something
about that pesky homicide d*ck.

He's a d*ck?

Uh, no, no, he...
I don't know him.

I meant "d*ck" as in detective.

I was trying to use my
tough-guy street lingo

'cause you scare me.

Well, I'm taking
care of the cop.

But I don't want to
discuss that in the open.

You know what? Let...
Let's meet later.

I know the perfect place.

Same g*n. Smith.

10 hours later, you.

What is the tie-in, Tim?

You got thoughts about
who put you in that chair?

'Cause they likely
put Smith underground.

I angered the actress this week.

Stamped her life down for
cheap news, that McSapphire.

Yeah, I
police-station-babied her.

I jammed her hard, McSapphire.

Maybe she jammed me back

while I was getting some
bubble gum there in the park?

Getting interesting out
there in Ultra City.

Hey, what is a
bubble gum, anyway?

Oh!

So, it's when the other dude...

Wrestling announcer: Ladies and gentlemen,
our featured match of the night,

former women's
heavyweight champion,

Lady Andrea the Giant!

And in this corner,
our series of chimps...

Mr. Stevenson,

Buck Thompson,

Big Buck Thompson,

Cocaine Lonnie,

Win Tzu the Chinese Nightmare,

the Old and Also
Insane Cheater Sisters.

Let's get it on!

Kevin: Oh, tweens, I'm
so excited to have you

at Tween Appreciation
Day today, tweens.

I have a big surprise
for you tweens.

Oh, tweens, I'm so
excited to have you

at Tween Appreciation
Day today, tweens.

Penny: Nico. Johnson: Yeah.

I have a big...

There's a darkness
here in Ultra City.

Smith was fighting against it,

but now he's dead.

Nico was trying to solve it,

and he's dead too.

Something heavy's coming down,

and Mills has to figure
it out and stop it.

And now he's all alone.

Good cop?

Good cop.

Tough cop.

He's a fragile young man.

Something's wrong inside.

David.

Narrator: It's all
coming down on this kid.

Where's he going?

Might be going lime.

Yeah.

Not the best time,
kid, to go lime,

when you're in their
sights, next in line.

Better to stay sharp
than to go all lime.

Dispatch: That's a
search-and-arrest

warrant request
for a Paula Smith,

alias Trish McSapphire?

You got it. What's the basis?

Basis is I may find
her with the g*n

that knocked down
our Carpenter Smith.

He was gonna make
this a gentler place.

I'll get back to you.

Hey, sweetheart.

Yeah, I guess you're
at Mommy and Me.

I just...

I just needed to talk.

I'm just here in a bar

during work

with a lime.

I'm really looking
at this lime a lot.

I am just really getting
into looking at it.

Oh, sh*t. I don't know.

I don't... I don't want to do
this again, honey, you know.

Get all into limes and...

I lost my partner today,

the hard way, and now,
sh*t, I'm with this lime.

God damn it.

And I know how hard that
is, babe, when I go distant.

Your job is tough. Nurses

are totally where it's
at, and I know it.

When you come home, when
you want to tell me about

how Melissa Ramirez
wouldn't take your shift

and you took two of hers
and she's being a b*tch

and I'm just sitting there
at the kitchen table,

looking at a lime,
and all I say is.

"Man, limes are weird,"
and then I go quiet.

And then I say,
"Weird in a good way."

I know how hard that
is for you, hon.

Anyway...

Who's this person?

Oh, that man's my
handy a*s clown.

I decided to hold meetings here,

as no one would expect something
dead serious was taking shape.

And have things
become dead serious

for our feisty
turnip-truck homicide cop?

They have.

The plan involves his
former partner's son.

Tell me more.

I got a... I got a grip.

I got... sh*t!

Trevor's voicemail:
Please leave a message.

Hey, I'm just... Listen.

I'm gonna try to take
the afternoon off.

I'm gonna try to
get you after school

and we'll go do
something fun maybe.

Maybe we can go to the
boardwalk, to the arcade.

Dispatch: Robbery at
First Eastern Bank.

Madison and 110th.

Suspects are several armed,
old, male prostit*tes.

Robbery at First Eastern Bank.

What are you doing?
Why aren't you coming?

Come to what?

The mayor thing.

Nah, um, my mom's coming.

Just tell me about it, alright?

She wants to go play arcade.

First Teller: Oh, she's just
kind of cycling through there.

Street hustler boy: Excuse me?

Hi.

I have a g*n.

Who called the cops?

We've been standing here with
our g*ns out for eight minutes.

FBI agent: Place your
weapons on the floor.

Oh, my God.

Step away from your weapons.

Lay on the floor!

You're surrounded!

Okay.

Uh, I need a hostage.

Just one.

I'm gonna let everyone else go.

So, is there...

Which one of you
guys is, like...

Is there one of
you who isn't cool

or who's maybe,
like, a d*ck or...

Or is mean or something?

One of you?

Uh, Angela?

What? Angela.

She, like... She's
kind of a d*ck.

What are you talking
about, Rosie?

You're kind of a d*ck.

D-d*ck how?

You're a d*ck in the way
that you write your name

on your food in the
break kitchen fridge.

It's because someone's
been taking my food.

Yeah, it bothers me too.

"Angela" on all of her food.

On her cupcakes.

Ugh. Yeah, me too.

Angela.

Every time I open the fridge,

just to get, like, my
half-and-half, it's Angela.

Angela: Tina starts rumors.

No, I don't.

Oh, come on!

All day with the rumors.

"Oh, Denise is having a really
hard time getting pregnant."

Tina! I told you
that in private!

Really hard time
getting pregnant.

Man, now we have a total s-load

of cool handmade
friendship bracelets,

just like the mayor wanted.

The city is ours through
friendship bracelets.

Yeah, there they go.

With the big bag that
caused some big trouble

for the little one.

Crazy, man.

They used that money to make

40,000 friendship
bracelets for the mayor.

Crazy, man.

Well, maybe not so crazy
here in Ultra City.

I guess we'll see
what that's all about.

Other job.

Private d*ck... just kidding.

I don't call it that.

Private investigator,
one client,

30 years, famous case.

You may have heard of it.

Police Station Baby.

Mom wants... very badly.

Mom wants to know
who and where he is.

Been checking fingerprint
matches every day.

Hospitals, universities,
police stations.

30 years.

You get it?

Voice on phone: Okay,
thanks for holding.

You still there? I am.

We actually have a match today.

Homey found a snack.

What's the latest on the
money and Little Grace?

No latest. Just the same.

Nothing.

I don't feel good
about that at all.

I'm trying to make
a way for us, honey.

I don't want to hurt Grace.

But, man, you should've
seen those

when The Most Dangerous
Man walked up.

Tough man.

DeMaximum, Krieger shaking.

Do you know how he got
paroled, The Dangerous Man?

Not 'cause he got nice.

Every member of everyparole
board he went up against,

year after year, m*rder*d six
hours after their "no" vote,

so eventually they get the
message and he gets paroled.

That's hard and these
are the men in my world.

They're scared of him
'cause that's who he is.

That's not you.

I don't think you can hurt
Little Grace if you tried.

Yeah, well, people can't say

people can take things
from me in Ultra City.

So I have to try.

Are you the senior officer?

Gail Johnson. Robbery.

We're gonna set up tactical.

I don't know what
we're gonna do yet,

but I'm leaning towards storming
these 400 strong.

That's my brother.

Trish?

You were magnificent.
'Gainst those chimps.

You saw the match?

You're my sister.

I wouldn't miss your semis.

Were you harmed?

It was hard to determine
what was taking place

beneath them at times.

They ate my toes.

Sissy.

I want you to think
about running for mayor.

My chance is over, but
you're a Smith too,

and you can carry on Carpenter's
wish for a gentler Ultra City.

Yeah, I can't.

I had that Patty Hearst
thing when I was kidnapped

and lived in a closet,

then joined the kidnappers
in their violent group.

Get on the ground, whites.

Oh, yeah.

We were alone a lot
too, Donovan and I.

I don't know if I really knew
who I was for a lot of my life.

Well, you have a new family now.

You know, Donovan
is a Smith too.

Oh, man, I was really hoping

I wouldn't have to ask your
brother to run for mayor.

Hey, Donovan.

Donovan: Hey, Sissy, it's Dono.

I just woke up.

I'm in someone's house, and
I can't find my clothes,

and I don't have any money.

Can you please meet me
with 8,000 clean singles?

Mills: Hey, Gail, it's
David. I'm going lime

and I just wanted to call
you and... 'cause I need ya.

Gail, you are the best
cop on these bad streets,

and I'm going lime now.

My eye's not gonna be
on those dark corners.

I need you. Okay.

Lime.

Dispatch: Search-and-arrest warrant
for Trish McSapphire granted.

Kevin: Oh, tweens!

Little Grace?

She's gone, Trish.

She didn't go to school,
but she's not home.

She's gone somewhere.

She's in... We'rein trouble.

That's why I'm fighting chimps.

I think she might've run off.

Could she have
gone to her father?

She asked about him yesterday
morning out of nowhere.

Is that bad if
she's gone to him?

Yes. Her father
is Peppito Quatro.

The gangster?

I grew up in foster homes,

unselected forever by adoptive
parents due to my gigantism.

I mean, why take the big one?

I never faulted anyone.

Nevertheless, longing and
need my companions ever.

I finished elementary then high
school without a friend, really,

and I was taking classes at
court stenographer school.

And, well, one night, on 63rd...

I became involved
with the first person

who showed me affection.

Peppito thought big, even then.

His work never
bothered me greatly.

It's Ultra City.

Got to pick a pocket or two.

And, well, we fell in love.

Making love, well,
a few times a day.

Such is young love.

And then?

And then we had Little Grace.

And then?

And then he k*lled a
young man, work-related.

Peppito.

The jurors got greased.

The state said innocent.

But he told me so.

And we left him.

I had Little Grace,

and I no longer felt
longing and need,

and I knew we didn't have to
live with darkness like that.

Trainer: You're hurtin'
him! Punch to the body!

Donovan: Okay, this
is weird.

I don't understand why
we're watching this.

Why are we watching this?

There are lessons in it to
help you on your mayor journey.

It starts today.

You can take a lot
from this movie,

about rising to the occasion.

B-B-B-B-B-But...

But when are they gonna do it?

Do what?

Do it. When's he gonna
do it with the other guy?

It's taking forever.

Do... Do what?

Make love?

Yeah.

It's two guys.

Hey, um, just wondering
where you are, Mom.

Um, I'm excited to
arcade with you.

So, okay, bye.

Kevin: Oh, hey, tween.

You don't know what a story is?

Well, I know when
I watch movies,

people do it, and this is...

That's p*rn*graphy.

Okay.

And what is this?

A regular movie that doesn't
have p*rn*graphy in it.

You're Trevor, right?

How did you know that?

Oh, you're one of the
town's top tweens.

Say, you coming to
Tween Appreciation Day?

What's that for anyway?

Tween team building, getting
the tweens together to say,

"Hey, tweens, I'm into you in
the way that you're important

to the city, and I
appreciate that."

Oh, well, I'm going with
my mom to the arcade.

Would you like to know the
sweetest thing about a tween?

Well, you see, the sweetest
thing about a tween

is a tween's going to be a teen,

then the teen's
going to be Y.A.,

then A.

Adult?

Oh, yes, and that sweet someday,

when all of Ultra City's A's
are my special friends...

Well, you see, my
tween battalion,

it becomes an adult army,
trained since tweenhood to,

well, work with me and, well,
my designs for the city.

I would really love for you to
join the other street tweens

at Tween Appreciation Day today.

I've got a gift for you all,

but you especially, Trev.

Oh, what
fun we'll have.

Well, hello, darling.

I made my decision!

We're storming this
400 strong!

He'll be k*lled.

We're storming!

This is your neighborhood?

Yes.

What is it?

I just thought it would
be more movie star.

Well, that's just a
means... My work...

To an end, finding my boy.

Oh, my.

That's my investigator.

Will you pardon me a moment?

Of course.

We found him.

Hey, Gail, did you tell me
that your new half-brother

was kind of a short,

cute, washed-up, male
prost*tute, cowboy hat?

'Cause he's robbing this bank,

and it looks like they're gonna
storm this 400 strong.

I can fend them off for a while.

I'm Space b*tch, women's
wrestling champion of the world.

But I don't know how long.

Alright. Love you.

Alright!

We're coming to storm
you 400 strong!

Street Hustler Boy:
Hey, it's Street Hustler Boy.

I'm going to jail.
I think. Or to hell.

It looks like they're
storming me 400 strong.

I'm in trouble.

I'm calling you because
you're a policeman.

And you're my sister.

So, okay.

Okay, later.

Or not.

So.

Trevor: Mom, I don't know. You
must've got called to work.

Okay, I'm gonna go
to the mayor's thing.

I'll see you later.

Mills: Hey, Gail, it's David.

I'm going lime and I
just wanted to call you

'cause I need ya.

What are you going to do
now that you know his name?

Are you going to tell him?

Yes?

Mills: Detective David
Mills, Ms. McSapphire.

I have a warrant
for your arrest.
