07x06 - A Night Off

[bunniefuu]

(upbeat music)

(melancholic music)

[Newscaster] Although rioting in Mantle

is finally under control,

how does it feel
to know that the majority

of those involved
were your supporters?

I don't condone rioting,

especially when our
city is being denied aid

for the hardships we've
already had to go through,

but Jacques Schnee's
latest stunt is holding

the city hostage for
his own political gain.

So I understand their anger,

but ask that they show
it not in the streets

but at the polls today.

(Yang and Blake grunting)

(beast grunting)

(Jaune grunting)
(ball banging)

Ah, ah!
(ball banging)

Ah!
(w*apon buzzing)

(Jaune grunting)

(triumphant music)

Nice, your recovery is
getting faster.

(Ruby whooshing)

[Oscar] Have you always
been able to do that?

(panting) I don't know.

I don't normally think
it through that much.

You guys are evolving

and I still don't even
have my Semblance.

[Ruby] Well, I bet we'll
all be jealous when you do.

(door opens)

[Ironwood] Clover wasn't kidding.

You're really giving
this your all.

Well, we have to with
the way things are going.

They're not going well,
are they?

Better Robyn then Jacques Schnee.

[Ironwood] Oh, I suppose so.

Either way, this election
doesn't bode well

for our stability.

It could be a chance
to work with Robyn

and get Mantle on your side.

The likelihood of that working...

[Nora] She's right,

you have to do something
about Mantle.

If you could get Robin
to trust you.

I bet if you opened up
to her she'd understand

- that you're being framed.
- (sighs)

Perhaps,
but it will only work

if she's open too.

I take it your here for
new mission assignments.

You could say that.

The General and I want
you to take the rest

of the day to recuperate.

You're giving us a night off?

Ordering it.

After tonight's election,
we'll be waking up

to a very different Atlas
tomorrow.

I need you rested and ready
for whatever that may bring.

[Newscaster] We still
have hours ahead of us,

but as votes come in,
it looks more and more certain

that Robyn Hill will fill
the open council seat.

There's no way my
father could've thought

layoffs would do anything
but hurt him.

So why announce this
the day before the election?

Just seems like a power play
that backfired to me.

Won't matter in a few hours
though.

Where are you guys going?

Team FNKI invited us
out dancing.

Yang and I thought
it would be good

to get our minds off
the election.

I thought you said
Team FNKI was annoying.

That's the best part
about dance clubs.

(whispers) I can't hear you.

(Blake laughing)

Ruby, come on!

I still can't believe
you're going to that thing.

Just because
Ironwood dislikes Robyn

doesn't mean
we all have to.

From where I'm standing,
both of them seem to be trying

their best to help Atlas.

As to who's doing
a better job...

(sighs) But a victory party?

[Ruby] Invite's still
open if you want in.

Penny's gonna be
working security.

(Yang laughing)

Oh my gosh, no.
You gotta do it like this.

That's what I'm doing!

(Yang laughing)

Hey, Oscar and I are hitting the
movies if anyone wants...

- Yup!
- Oh, okay.

(group cheering)

[Ren] I understand
Weiss' point though,

a victory party does
seem a bit premature.

Aw, let them have
one sure thing.

[Ruby] Probably the last sure thing
before Amity Tower goes up

and everyone learns about...
what we're fighting.

We spent so much time
worrying

about how Ironwood will
react to the truth about her,

but have any of us considered

how we're even going to b*at her
if we manage to work past that?

[Nora] Jinn said
she can't be beaten.

[Ruby] She told Oz that
he couldn't destroy her.

But,
maybe someone else could?

I don't know.

We should be training
right now.

We've trained enough!

Take some time to...

We don't have time!

Ruby, Nora, Ren!

Hey, Penny.

I am so glad you made it.

It's just Marrow
and I tonight,

so more friends means
more fun.

Where are the others?

Weiss is out with the boys,

and Blake and Yang are off
doing their own thing,

Again.

At least they're back
to being friends.

Friends, huh?
Just friends?

What else
would they be?

Two people who've
gone through that much,

I think there's more going on.

Well maybe one of them
feels that way

but the other might be worried.

[Nora] About what?

[Ren] It's just,

there's a lot of things
going on right now.

[Nora] Well, how can
they figure things

- out if they don't talk about it?
- I believe I may be confused.

Who are we talking
about again?

I'm not really sure.

[Marrow] Penny, where'd you go?

Please don't leave me!

Oh hey, what...
what're you doing here?

Just hangin' out with
a friend while she's on the job.

[Marrow] Yeah, real cute.

Look, try not to be too
much of a distraction.

We need to be vigilant
in case...

[May] In case what?

In case
someone tries to start trouble.

Oh, funny,
that's why we're here.

So feel free
to take a hike.

Listen, the General's
trying to help, all right?

Just 'cause
you can't understand...

[Robyn] What's going on here, Wags?

Oh,
and the pipsqueak is back.

(Ruby grunting)

(scoffs) We're concerned
about security risks, ma'am.

The General doesn't want
any surprises tonight.

Fine, but stay out of the way.

If I get elected tonight,

we'll all have to learn
how to get along.

Sure,
we won't have any problems,

as long as you stay
within the law.

The law isn't perfect,
you know.

It's certainly not equal.

Trust me,
I'm well aware.

My only goal is that
all the citizens

of Mantle and Atlas...
and Faunus... have an equal sh*t

at a good life.

That sounds great.

And you're planning to do all

that equalizing legally,
right?

Everything I've done
is legal.

Of course,
%.

(microphone banging)

Ha-ha, well,
that worked.

Scram kid,
we've got a job to do.

(raspberry blowing)

(Penny laughing)

Can we please just
not do this right now?

I should've just
gone to the movies.

I want to thank everyone
for going to the polls today.

This is Mantle's moment.

(crowd cheering)

I know that, like me,
you're all thrilled

that we chose Robyn as our voice in Atlas.

No one has fought harder
for Mantle than she has.

And... I know Robyn will continue
that fight on the Council.

(giggles) Will you share a few words?

(crowd cheering)

I've never been much
for public speaking,

probably wasn't my best idea
ever to go into politics.

(crowd laughing)

Thank you so much,
everyone, for choosing me.

You said you believe in me.

But I'm the one who
believes in all of you.

You've proven to me
that as individuals, we are strong.

But together,
we're unstoppable.

(crowd cheering)

So no matter what happens tonight,
win or lose,

we will continue to fight
for our city,

because it is this city
that brings us together.

(crowd cheering)

[Newscaster] We're in
the final minutes now,

and it's looking to be a
closer race than anticipated.

Don't worry, it's in the bag.

(sighs) Ren,
what's going on?

Why won't you just
talk to me?

You know I've never been
really good with talking.

Then screw talking!

You ready, Tyrian?

(chuckles) Always.

[Robyn] The polls are
about to close. , ...

[Crowd] , nine, eight,

seven, six, five, four, three...

[Ruby] Watch out!

(lights clicking)

(crowd murmuring)

Go.

(microphone banging)

(woman screaming)

Ah, ah!

[Marrow] Penny, what's
going on over there?

[Penny] Put down your
w*apon and surrender!

[Marrow] This is Ace Operative Marrow,

requesting immediate assistance!

Huntresses, to me!

Come on, we've gotta
get you outta here!

Ah!

Robyn!

(neck cracking)

(Tyrian laughing)

Right on time!

(crowd screaming)

[Newscaster] And the winner
of the Atlas Council election is...

Jacques Schnee!

It's Ironwood's robot!

Penny.

I... I didn't.

[Jacques] O-ho,
thank you everyone, thank you.

It's all because of you.

It's a new day in Atlas.

We've won, we did it!

What happened?

It was Tyrian, Tyrian's here!

(ominous music)

(fingers clicking)
Stay!

Get Penny out the back, now!

I'm okay, I'm okay.

I- I'm sorry, is she...

(arrow whizzing)

(ominous music)

This wasn't us,
I swear.

Fine work, Tyrian.
I think we are done for tonight.

[Newscaster] A surprise victory

by SDC Mining Corporation's
CEO, Jacques Schnee.

Last minute voter turnout
produced a dark horse victory

for the dust industry leader.

(melancholic music)

Penny,
you need to get to Atlas.

Backup's on the way.

[Marrow] Penny?

(sirens wailing)

Grimm.

(sighs) We've got
a long night ahead.

[Jacques] And as the
newest member of the Council,

I pledge to serve
each and every citizen

of Mantle and Atlas.

(Grimm roaring)
