Pit Babe (2023) s01e02 Episode Script

My name is Charlie.
I've been a fan of X-Hunter
and Babe for a long time.
PREVIOUS EPISODE
Nice to meet you.
Has Babe ever brought his boys here?
Of course not, Uncle.
This is the first time.
Is he special?
The big news
in the supercar racing world today is that
UAC Corp has become
the new sponsor of Red Racing.
As you may know,
UAC Corp is currently the number one
retail business leader in Thailand.
UAC Corp is a market leader
in retail and wholesale.
Now you’ve suddenly entered
the racing market,
do you have any surprises?
There's nothing at all.
I just became interested
in the racing industry.
I see it as a new business opportunity,
so I wanted to invest.
It’s just another step
in expanding our business.
There are also rumors on social media
saying UAC Corp
is trying to launder money,
since UAC CORP has
never invested in this field before.
If you invest like this, will people think
you're throwing money away?
Is that so?
I’ve always been interested
in motorsports.
I see a lot of growth potential
in the Thai racing scene.
Someone just has to be bold to invest
and push talented drivers
into the industry.
You said you’re going all in,
can you say how much?
For now, it's not much.
Just 100 million baht.
But I hope that this investment
will create new opportunities.
Maybe the same old champion
will be replaced by someone new.
All right, then please have
Mr. James and Mr. Tony shake hands.
Damn, they’re serious.
Even the underground bookies
have adjusted their odds.
Hunter and Red Racing are now even.
Forget that for now.
This is what I'm worried about.
You sure you’re okay, Babe?
Of course.
Why are you worried about me?
I'll never lose to them.
I'm not worried about
whether you lose or not.
But what I'm worried about is…
What worries us is Tony.
He's your daddy, right?
You should know he didn’t get into racing
to enter a new market.
He came for you.
That's right.
Since you ran away from home,
have you contacted him at all?
I know what you did to my family!.
Hey!
I said stop!
Your duty is to do as I say.
If you refuse to do this,
I will cancel your scholarship.
Cancel all your allowances.
Do you think
I want to work for your company?
Why would I contact him?
I was just a kid he adopted.
I mean nothing to him.
Moreover, if he wants to
enter this industry, that's good too.
I will let him know
that he can't control me.
Okay.
I believe in you.
Whatever you say.
I know you're talented.
But you know that
if you have any problems,
you can always tell me.
Okay?
Yeah.
I know.
Alan, there’s a problem.
This morning, Tui and Man
came in to resign.
Looks like Red Racing
has already bought them out.
- Thank you.
- All right.
I think Tony, your foster
father, plays it the hard way.
He’s not just spending big
to buy drivers from other teams,
he’s poaching the technical crews too.
If we can’t bring in mechanics in time,
we're screwed.
Why did you wake up so early?
I have something to think about.
Go and get dressed.
We'll go to the garage.
I can’t go there with you today.
I’ve got something to do.
What’s wrong with you?
You said you were free last night.
I just forgot.
I have a business meeting with clients.
Once I'm done,
I'll come back to you.
Don’t make that kind of face.
Come back whenever you want.
I don't care.
It's none of my business.
Really?
I thought you'd miss me.
Fine. Just be back before I go to bed.
Yes, Sir.
I'll go and hurry back.
They're making a move now,
so we have to act first.
After the Red Racing partnership
was announced,
our UAC stock rose over 15%.
Have you sold them yet, Kenta?
Yes, I have.
And I’ve transferred the proceeds
to the Chen family foundation,
as per your order.
Well done.
James, the owner of Red Racing,
wants to meet with you
about bringing in more racers
to strengthen the team.
I’ve already told him
to make a decision, right?
I’ve told him that too.
But James wants to
bring in foreign racers,
so he want to consult with you
and ask for your opinion.
Here it is.
Tell James
that I’ve already found
someone interesting.
Yes.
Understood, Sir.
You have been gone all day,
I may have to call and
invite you to come back.
I went out for less than four hours, Babe.
Traffic was really bad.
The travel alone took up most of the time.
I might have to make a new rule.
When the boss complains,
the employee gets fined 50,000 Baht.
How was the meeting with your client?
You edited a hundred drafts
and they picked just one?
Something like that.
You’ve only been my boy a few days,
and already showing your true colors?
Maybe I should cancel our deal.
Babe.
What’s up with you?
Come on. Stop kidding me.
I'm not kidding.
Babe.
Your editing gets you 40,000 baht.
My car costs four million.
Just think about it.
- Let go of me.
- Babe.
I think you’re hitting menopause.
Your hormones are swinging.
I'll take you to bed.
Charlie.
Once I get up, you’re dead.
Let go of me. Charlie.
Let go of me Puppy Charlie.
- Let go of me.
- Are you sure
that you want me to let you go?
How's it going, North?
Babe, come on!
It’s almost done.
- Buy me some…
- Hey, you.
I’m turning on the anti-lag.
Okay, go ahead.
If this one is empty,
you change this one too.
- If it’s okay, just change the wheel.
- How's the engine RPM setting?
I need 2,000 RPM.
1,500 RPM is enough.
Just try it.
Hey, how's it going?
Uncle, we’ve only got
a few mechanics left.
What are we going to do?
Who will tune the engine for the race?
This is the heart of racers.
You must do something.
I’ve already posted a job ad
in the mechanics’ group.
You guys just wait for a while.
Under your advertisement’s post,
the Red Racing
posted insulting comments.
I think no one will apply.
Nueng,
the other mechanics aren't coming back?
They got triple the salary,
so no one would come back.
Excuse me.
Still need a mechanic?
Yes.
We do.
You're applying for your friend?
I'm not applying for anyone.
I’m applying myself.
I filled out the application
from your post.
You can read it.
You're 20.
Studying in Mechanical Engineering.
Bro…
You're still in school.
I can work even if I haven't graduated.
I can organize my time.
But…
our garage needs an experienced
mechanic, and he must spend time
with our racers.
If you're still studying,
it wouldn’t be convenient.
If you're not sure,
I can be a trainee.
I'll do it for free.
Oh, I'm all ears. Hey, Uncle.
This is for free.
You know we're short of mechanics now.
Just let him do it.
Yes, Uncle.
Just accept him.
But we can’t let an amateur
tune our engine.
Skills are the most important thing.
If I can tune this engine
for more horsepower,
will you hire me?
Hey, Way.
Did this boy tune the engine alright?
The car is much faster.
Horsepower is also increased.
Uncle,
Way just broke a record for this car.
This kid is better than our old mechanics.
Hey!
You are a talented one, kiddo.
My name is Jeff, not "kiddo".
Hey, wait up.
I'm Alan,
the owner of this garage and X-Hunter.
Anyway, welcome to the X-Hunter family.
I'm sorry.
I have a fear of germs.
I hate shaking hands.
What?
Oh, man.
All right, nevermind.
Do you want me to start working today?
That would be great.
As you can see,
we’re really short on mechanics.
I told you that I'd be a trainee,
but if I’m covering multiple roles,
there should be proper pay.
Don’t worry.
With your skills,
I won’t let you work for free.
Let’s go. We’ll sort out the pay
and the contract so you don't run off…
So that you won’t leave
and work for another garage.
All right?
Hi, Babe.
I’ve got a new tuner.
I guarantee he's skillful.
They're making a move,
so we have to act first.
You don’t have to be worried,
I have an idea.
What?
Don’t look at me like that.
Way already tested the car.
He gave him a pass.
Is that true?
Alan’s been looking for
a mechanic for ages,
and suddenly he just got one.
He looks so young.
No, he's not that young.
He's the same age as your boy, Charlie.
By the way, when you became
my trainee, you were even younger.
All right.
If you're okay, I'm fine with that too.
He looks cute by the way.
Please take care of me.
Okay.
You’d better get to know him,
but don’t sleep with him.
We'll be working together.
Let’s go.
He's nervous.
- Let’s go.
- Hey, hey.
- Look at him go.
- I'll introduce you to this place.
The mechanic’s room is a sacred place.
Don't take any photos and post them.
Understand?
Let's go.
I get it.
Hey, Jeff.
If you have anything on your mind,
you can come to me.
We're like a family here.
Yes.
Do you want me to introduce the team?
Or do you want to look at the whole place?
So you can get to know everyone faster.
Are you not much of a talker?
Yes. I prefer to be alone.
It helps me focus.
Alright then. I'll give you a tour.
We keep the cars
that have been fixed over there.
Way.
Way. Look at Uncle.
He tries too hard.
This boy puts up an ice-wall so high.
That’s right.
The last time I saw him like this,
was when Babe joined our team.
I didn't think we would
have another savage boy.
It’s going to be fun this time.
I think it’s good to have some exciting
things during this time.
Otherwise, we would be very stressed.
There is so much news about Red Racing.
UAC CORP is a really big capital company.
Next season's racing
schedule has been released.
I'll set the practice schedule for you.
But this year,
we'll be more focused on
strategy and tactics than ever.
I need everyone to stay focused.
Oh, wow.
Jealous much?
You keep staring at him.
What are you talking about, North?
I'm not jealous.
If you’re not jealous, fine
Why are you upset with me?
But, come on.
Uncle Alan’s boy is chatting up your boy.
When Uncle tried, he barely said a word.
He’s got charm.
No wonder Babe’s hooked.
- North, come on.
- Hey.
- Babe. calm down.
- Calm down.
Sit down.
No need to be in such mood.
Stop now, North.
Babe is very calm, why did you tease him?
- Yeah.
- Huh?
You too.
North always teases you like that, right?
Why are you angry today?
I'm not angry.
I'm just frustrated with many things.
How about this,
if you're that frustrated,
wanna come out for a drive
with me tonight?
Or if you’re bored of Charlie,
I’ll get you someone new,
like usual.
That’s okay.
I'll find a way to release my frustration.
Jeff, what are you doing here?
I applied to be a mechanic here.
When you said you had an idea,
you meant coming to work here, right?
This was the best way I could think of.
Why didn’t you tell me first?
If I told you, you would stop me.
So, it was better not to tell you.
You know I have to be here
so that I can follow your plan.
Do you have any better ideas than this?
I just don’t want
you to be involved in this.
Don’t forget,
your problem is mine too.
Babe.
What’s wrong with you?
Is someone making you angry?
Who would dare piss me off?
Did you know that new mechanic?
You mean Jeff?
Yes.
You two were talking so much.
What’s there to talk about?
Don’t tell me you’re jealous.
Me? Jealous of you?
You and North are both crazy.
We’re not even together.
Why would I be jealous?
Oh, really?
But from what I saw,
it looks like you’re jealous.
I'm just angry.
I don’t do deals
where I’m at a disadvantage.
You have a deal with me,
I don’t want you dealing with
anyone else, got it?
Who am I going to do it with?
I only have a deal with you.
Why would I lie to you?
Then what were you two talking about?
It's nothing.
It’s just that we're about the same age,
so he feels more
comfortable talking to me.
Please don't tell this to Alan though,
he’ll feel bad.
But if you don't like it,
then I won't talk to him anymore.
- Okay?
- You better keep your words.
Stop making expressions
like you’re a puppy.
You’ve never been to a gym before?
I have.
But I didn't think someone like you
would go to the gym.
To be a racer, it's not
just about practicing driving,
but your physical fitness must also be
strong enough to control the car,
understand?
You have to train your reflexes,
ears, eyes, and nose.
Everything has to be perfect, got it?
Yes.
My trainer isn't coming today,
so be my training partner.
But don’t go so hard,
I have to protect my body.
Go change your clothes.
Again!
Go!
It's Pit Babe.
You met Kim, right?
You probably know him, right?
Kim,
the new driver…
for Red Racing.
Straight from Korea.
Want to try a match?
Oh!
Or are you scared?
Didn’t I beat you enough last time?
So cocky.
So what?
Want another round?
If you can beat Kim,
I'll pay you double.
But if you can’t,
then I'll take your car.
What do you say?
Or are you scared?
Huh?
Then I will fight instead.
Charlie.
Fine.
But I’ll count your boy
as being worth the same as you.
No special odds.
I’m not cutting you any slack.
Why are you fighting instead of me?
You need to protect your body, right?
Your body is for racing.
Okay.
But if you lose to him,
I'll hit you worse.
I won't lose.
I'm Babe's boy.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Go.
- Let's go.
- Yes, good punches.
- Nice. Nice.
- That's it.
- Keep going.
- That's it. That's it.
- Come on, get up!
Yeah!
- Unloose him, come on.
- That's it.
- Get up, come on.
- Keep your guard up.
Hit him!
- Keep your guard up.
- Yeah!
Your guard!
Yeah!
Hey!
- Come on.
- Punch him.
Hey, lock him tight.
Get up and fight him!
- That's it.
- Like that.
- Are you going to punch him? Right.
- That's it.
- That's it.
- Come on.
That's it.
Let's go.
Take the lead.
- Take his leg! That's it.
- Come on.
Now!
- Bend the legs out.
- Untangle him.
Bend the legs out, that's it.
Get the legs out!
- That's it.
- Lie down. Lie down. Lie down.
That's it!
Yeah!
- Babe, cheer for him.
- Just like that.
- Yeah! Woo-hoo!
- Yeah!
Hey,
Forgot something?
You did your best.
Good boy.
Hey!
Still got the nerve
to sit there and chill?
Didn’t you just lose to
Babe’s boy in the ring?
Huh?
Why wouldn’t I be?
I meant to lose.
I was here to observe him,
not the other way around.
Unfortunately, I didn't get
to compete head-on with Babe.
But don’t underestimate that kid.
You should be careful.
Hey!
What advice are you going to give me?
The reason that Tony chose you
is just because of your popularity.
Maybe you’ve got talent elsewhere,
but I’ve been here longer.
You should be the one
asking me for advice.
Want to try the real thing?
- It hurts.
- So you’ll stop wondering.
Let me go now.
Let me go.
Let me go!
Why are you getting serious with me?
We're on the same team.
Aren’t we supposed to work together
to take down Babe?
I don’t work with anyone.
I'm here to be the best in every race.
Are all these yours?
That's right.
Why else would I bring you here?
I never see your cars at home.
I have more than ten cars.
You want me to park them all there?
It makes more sense
to keep them at Way’s showroom.
Awesome!
So which one are you driving today?
Wrong question.
It's not me.
But it's you.
Babe, are you being serious?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
So you approached me because
you wanted a car to race in, didn't you?
Go ahead.
pick whatever you want.
You’re really letting me choose?
Pick first.
I’ll decide if I approve.
You’re just looking, got it?
I’ll take this one.
You got a keen eye.
But I think you'd better get a new one.
This is Babe's favorite car.
That’s why I chose it.
It’s the first car
Babe drove to the finish line.
And he performed so well
it earned him the name
"King of the Hallows".
Did you not hear what I said?
For that reason,
this car is Babe's favorite.
Besides me being the one
taking care of it,
Babe had never let
anyone get in this car before.
Then you try getting the car, Charlie.
Babe, are you serious?
Come on!
If it was anyone else,
they would probably
choose a faster, newer car.
But Charlie chose this one,
it means that he has sharp eyes.
I'll wrap the team stickers for you.
If you’re taking it, don’t disappoint me.
Take it and practice hard.
You’re really giving it to me?
That's right.
Thank you very much. I'll do my best.
- What do you think?
- I like it a lot.
Charlie, why are you so tense? Relax.
You're skilled, you can do it, understand?
You just have to believe in yourself.
- Do you understand?
- Yeah!
Someone like Pit Babe
doesn’t read people wrong.
Keep driving.
Shift! Shift up.
Slowly climb up, slowly.
Control the car, don't be afraid.
Charlie, don't be afraid.
I told you not to flinch.
When you hold the wheel,
keep your hands at 9 and 3.
What's up with you?
I'm sorry, Babe.
It's because I'm not good.
There's no need to say that.
I’m saying, when you’re driving,
you need to estimate the brakes precisely
before entering a corner. Understand?
When turning at Apex, brakes,
steering, accelerator are all in sync.
Do you get it?
You’ll need to practice
until you get a feel for it.
I got it.
It’s not just brake pressure,
it’s also braking distance.
It's not just a matter of
getting too close or deep.
If you come in too fast,
you’ll have to brake hard
You'll be slower than the others. If we go
in too deep, you'll fall off the curve.
When entering a curve,
you go along
the Apex and then exit, do you understand?
Why are you staring?
Well, nothing.
I just think you're so cool.
- So cool?
- It hurts.
Is this the right time?
What is wrong with you, Charlie?
Well, you look really cool.
You're also the best coach.
Okay, hurry up and just drive.
Way.
That's Babe's old car, isn't it?
I thought Babe
didn't have a practice session today.
That's not Babe, that's Charlie.
So Charlie gets to drive Babe's car now?
Yeah.
His skill isn't bad at all.
I doubt Babe really likes him.
Way.
Babe.
Took you long enough.
Thought you were busy with your boy.
June, same as before. Two drinks.
How's it going?
Are you jealous of me?
You hang out with us all the time, right?
But now I don't see you often.
Well, here I am.
You're not as old as Alan,
why are you so sensitive?
Fucking Babe!
Stop it.
I told you many times not to do this.
If one day I like you, what would you do?
If we were going to like each other,
it would’ve happened a long time ago.
And most importantly, I'm not into love.
I’m fine just hooking up with Alphas.
Let's have another drink.
So, Charlie didn't come with you?
What’s wrong with you?
When he’s here, you complain.
When he’s not, you ask about him.
I didn't want to ask,
but you should see this.
What is it?
RUMOR HAS I
PIT BABE GOES PUBLIC WITH NEW BOYFRIEND
I don't care about the gossip.
But if this gossip news gets leaked,
it'll affect our team as well.
Way,
my job is to do my best for the team.
That's it.
In any case,
you handle this stuff for me, don’t you?
I've managed to clear things up for you.
But you must never forget.
The more skilled and outstanding you are,
the more people
will want to take you down.
I know.
Then I'll be more careful from now on.
Day by day, just be careful.
If you have anything,
you can always call me, you know?
Wow,
you're just my best friend
yet you’re complaining like a boyfriend.
Bottoms up!
Okay, I'd like two beers,
please. Sit in the same place.
Okay.
Oh, Babe.
Babe.
- What's wrong with you?
- Hey!
Sit, I'll go to the bathroom.
If you get up, you lose your seat.
- It's up to you.
- This seat is mine.
- Thanks.
- Ooh!
It's good that the two of you came.
Do me a favor?
Want our help?
C’mon, bottoms up.
Bottoms up?
Out of this world!
What's up Mr. Way?
Please keep an eye on Charlie.
- But he looks harmless.
- Yeah.
Looks innocent.
Just like a puppy.
So what?
Wait for something to happen first?
I don't know what kind of
plan they'll come up with,
but since Red Racing was taken over,
it seems like everything has changed.
On top of that, almost half
our team’s been bought out.
All right.
We got this.
You don't have to worry.
Were you two gossiping about me?
- No.
- Babe.
C'mon, bottoms up.
- You seem extremely suspicious.
- Bottoms up!
- No way!
- Do I look suspicious?
- See?
- No no!
- You’re acting suspicious.
- Babe.
Bottoms up!
You’re being weird.
Hey!
Don’t you think
Way’s acting like a startled rabbit?
A startled rabbit?
You mean paranoid.
Yep, that's it.
Hey!
Way seems to really love Babe.
Well, that's his close friend.
What kind of friend?
Do friends
have to worry about each other that much?
So why should you doubt it?
Way and Babe
have been together for ten years.
Their bond’s deeper than friends.
Hey!
Great minds think alike.
This is more than friends.
They definitely like each other.
It's not like that.
I mean more than friends, like brothers.
Why? I don't understand.
If they're more than friends,
they must be lovers.
Not like brothers at all.
It's like you and me.
If we were any closer,
would we already be lovers?
That’s a weird example.
You don't have to think that much.
Because I’d stop
being friends with you right now.
- North!
- What?
Bastard.
Hey, why did you hit me?
How is it, Dean?
Please check this line.
Uncle.
Are you ready?
I had Jeff tune your car again.
Your car’s gonna be fast.
Hey, show him the horsepower.
Oh, Jeff?
What are you guys laughing at?
Go get ready!
These guys!
I forgot to tell you.
From now on,
anyone not affiliated with X-Hunter
is not allowed in the garage
or the training field.
Well, but I came with Babe.
I brought him myself.
Uncle didn't say anything.
Why so serious?
But normally, people who aren’t involved
aren’t allowed in, right?
Or do you want to
make an exception for Charlie?
As a what?
A relative?
A servant?
Or as a boyfriend?
Nevermind, I forgot.
He's just a sex buddy.
What are you upset about?
Alright, you wait outside.
Go wait outside.
Okay.
Alan, someone's coming
to see you. He said it was urgent.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Charlie!
Yes?
Who are you?
I'm just a sex buddy.
Like you said before.
What can a person like me be?
I better not find out
what you’re planning,
because I'm keeping an eye on you.
You're thinking too much.
Do you have anything else?
If not, I'll leave.
What can I do for you?
Hello, Alan.
I'm Kenta, a representative of Red Racing.
If you’re here for something, say it.
I’m here to negotiate
buying racers from X-Hunter.
We’re not in such bad shape
that we have to
let our drivers go to a rival team.
Don’t be so quick to turn me down.
Expenses on your own team occur every day.
Why not hear me out first?
A trade for Pit Babe,
I think it’s a fair offer.
You go tell your boss. No matter
how much money, you can't buy me.
If we can't fight him about money.
We just find someone with
as much money as he has to fight.
It's true.
NEXT EPISODE
You're truly the best, kiddo.
From now on,
Charlie will be on the field with us.
As for his position,
consider him Babe’s trainee.
Babe, you said we wouldn't kiss.
