Pit Babe (2023) s01e05 Episode Script

PREVIOUS EPISODE
In qualifying, you can win or lose,
but it's just a ranking.
This isn't even a real race.
Tomorrow everyone will see that
the Hallows has only one King,
and it's Pit Babe.
Not good enough.
It can be faster than this.
Alan, tune it for me again.
Wait, something’s off on the track.
Pit Babe's car seems
to have some problems.
Alan, what's wrong with Babe's car?
Babe, what happened?
- Babe!
- You can't get in there.
Babe!
Babe!
Help!
Help!
Babe!
Babe!
Please help, anyone, please help.
Babe!
Babe!
Babe!
Babe!
Babe.
I was so scared.
Babe!
Babe!
Babe!
Yes, nurse, please help move
the patient to the other bed.
I’m going to slide the board out.
- Move left on three. One, two, three.
- Watch his legs.
- Hang in there.
- Almost done.
- It hurts a little.
- Almost there.
Babe!
How are you holding up?
Babe, how are you?
I'll help you.
Are you still hurting anywhere?
After a crash like that,
of course I’m hurt.
You can still talk back. That’s a relief.
Alan, who finished first?
Who else? Kim finished first.
I'm sorry.
But don’t worry, I’ll get him back.
It won't be that easy, Babe.
Why are you making it difficult then?
After removing the splint,
it doesn’t mean you’ll walk normally.
You have to do physical therapy.
And I think…
you should sit out the rest of the season.
Huh?
The whole season? Are you crazy?
If I’m out, who’s gonna race?
Way will.
Don't you trust him?
It’s not that I don’t trust him.
We’ve got one, they’ve got two.
How’s Way supposed to handle that?
If I’m there, I can block for him
and let him take the lead.
That’s a better play.
I don't think you need to worry
about racing right now.
Your health comes first.
If you force yourself
when you're not ready,
it'll only get worse.
Babe, have you eaten yet?
And if you push it and your legs
aren’t the same anymore, then what?
It ain't worth it.
There's still next season.
I think you should rest for now.
Trust me.
- Eat up.
- Annoying.
Wait.
I think you should rest first.
You're an Alpha, aren't you?
Your body may recover faster than others.
When you’re better,
we’ll talk about racing again.
Okay?
Let's go.
Stop it.
- Babe.
- Get out.
Get out!
I’m not leaving until you’re okay.
Whether I'm okay or not
is none of your business.
How is it not?
Just seeing you out there
on the track had me worried sick.
Good you brought that up.
I haven't dealt with you yet.
What was on your damn mind?
That car accident
wasn't a big deal. I'm fine.
The car has safety features.
I also have a fireproof suit.
But you ran in with no protection.
Are you out of your mind?
At that time,
I was just worried about you.
Don't ever do that again.
Why?
You're worried about me?
No. That was a stupid thing to do.
Get out. I want to sleep.
No, just go.
Get out!
If Babe recovers in time,
would you let him race?
Are you crazy?
Even though he is an Alpha,
after a crash like that,
I don't think he'll recover in time
for this season.
Why does this kind of crap
always happen to our team?
Come on, no one wants that to happen.
Do you really think
this was just an accident?
What do you mean?
Let’s have a drink.
In the next match, Winner is the champion.
- Of course.
- Bottoms up!
- Let's make a toast!
- Make a toast.
Oh.
That mood-killer’s back again.
I told you, didn’t I?
That I don't want to win this way.
How many times have I told you
and have you ever listened?
How many times have I told you?
Babe’s car accident
has nothing to do with me.
And I don't know who did it.
If I knew, I’d bow to them
and I'd tell whoever did it
to go even harder next time.
Besides you, who could possibly
hate Babe that much?
People who talk like
that are hated by everyone.
If you’re so confident,
go ask him yourself.
Maybe it was someone
on his team that did it.
Now stop bothering me.
Jeff, what did you do to Babe's car?
I didn't do anything.
Everyone saw it out there.
Babe’s crash was because of a car issue.
Nothing crashed his car.
And only a few people on this team
have access to his car.
Then why me?
There are plenty of mechanics here.
Because you’re new,
and you’re the most suspicious.
I think you’re being a bit biased.
If you think anyone
who gets near Babe’s car
could’ve caused the problem,
then everyone here,
including you, is a suspect.
Way!
- Enough.
- So you're still on his side?
I'm not.
But what Jeff said was right.
He’s not the only one
who can access Babe’s car.
That's right, Way.
I think you should calm down.
Let’s check things properly first.
So none of you believe me?
Do we have to wait
until something worse happens?
It's not that we don't believe you,
but we can't do anything without evidence.
What if I have evidence?
I think this could pin it on Jeff.
The evidence is clear.
What else is there to discuss?
I didn't do anything wrong.
I just tuned Babe’s car.
If you did nothing,
why did you
have to do it secretly at night?
I just got a new method.
The race time was close,
I didn’t want to waste time.
Enough, Way.
Uncle, I didn't do it.
Do you have proof you didn’t do it?
Words aren’t enough.
For now, pack your things
and leave the garage.
I told you I didn't do it.
Didn't you hear what I said?
Who sent you here?
You're a spy for Red Racing, right?
I swear I didn't do it.
Fine, I’ll leave the garage.
But I won’t admit to something
I didn’t do.
And Uncle,
if you don't trust me,
don’t ever call me your brother again.
Jeff isn't a Red Racing spy.
You’re really taking his side, huh?
You're right. Jeff and I are brothers.
Jeff is my younger brother.
Huh?
Younger brother?
What are the two of you talking about?
Jeff and I are brothers.
Even though we’re not blood-related,
we were raised and grew up together.
Jeff was the only family I had.
I assure you that Jeff
had no involvement in Babe's car accident.
You two are brothers?
Why didn’t you say so from the start?
It looks like you were hiding something.
If I had said I was Charlie’s brother,
you’d think I used connections to get in.
You’d look down on my skills
and wouldn’t have let me try out,
even though
I genuinely wanted to train here
and work with X-Hunter.
So what if you’re brothers?
Dean's evidence is already strong.
What are you going to deny it?
Or are you in on it with him?
Someone secretly modified
Babe's car, like everyone suspected.
But it wasn’t Jeff.
It had to be an outsider
who slipped into the pit.
If that’s the case,
then Jeff would be cleared, right?
Jeff, wait.
Jeff, hold on.
Wait up, Jeff.
Let them apologize first.
It doesn't matter.
It’s right that I leave the garage.
They all don't trust me.
I can’t keep working here.
Wait a minute.
Dean’s clip does look suspicious.
After what happened to Babe,
everyone’s upset.
Me included.
I just pulled the ECU and tuned it.
Every mechanic does this.
Dean and Way
just don’t like someone like me.
I'll tell them to apologize to you.
But to be honest, Jeff.
this is partly on you.
Because in the past
you have acted suspiciously.
You keep to yourself
don’t really talk to anyone.
At the garage, you only talk to Charlie.
It’s no surprise people don’t trust you.
Sometimes you have to admit
that you don't care about anyone.
You do everything on your own,
keep to yourself,
and expect everyone to understand you.
How is that possible?
So I’m the one
in the wrong, right? I’m sorry.
It's not like that, Jeff.
Never mind.
You don't have to say anything.
The problem’s with me.
I'll head back and rest today.
Then I'll come back and pack up my stuff.
Jeff, Jeff, hold on.

ONE LOCATION
Well, raise your head a little.
If your back hurts, don't complain to me.
You just finished a race,
go home and sleep.
If I go home,
who’s going to take care of you?
Isn't it better to have me with you?
Well, it's nice.
But I feel bad making you do this.
Hey Babe.
How many years have you known me?
If you really felt bad for me,
you would’ve a long time ago.
Yep.
It's true.
I won’t hold back then.
Come massage my legs.
- You’re such a pain in the ass.
- Oops!
I'm injured, you know?
With that kind of energy,
you’ll be fine in no time.
So how was the garage today?
A lot happened.
So,
did you know your boy Charlie
is Jeff’s older brother?
Huh?
Charlie?
Is he hiding this from you too?
He just told people at the garage
that they were brothers
who grew up together.
So the reason
those two are always together…
it’s because of that?
Babe, are you still taking his side?
Even though you are the closest to him,
he still hid it from you.
I’m telling you,
if he can hide that,
he can lie about other things too.
You should only trust Alan and me for now.
I know.
No one cares about me like you do.
You know that I…
I’m sleepy. I want to sleep.
Have a good dream.
Hmm.
Oh!
You can get mad and tell me to go home.
But can I wait
until you remove the splint?
You have such difficulty moving,
how can you take care of yourself?
Could you please not be stubborn?
I'm not stubborn, I'm just hungry.
I'll go get something to eat.
You don't need to, there's almost
nothing in your refrigerator.
Why don't you take care of yourself?
If you don't have me,
you'll starve to death.
You go take a seat first.
I'll take you there.
Let's go.
I'll cook something for you.
Give me a minute.
I’ve already prepped it.
It’s mild, not spicy.
Good for when you’re sick.
Do you usually cook your own food?
Or do you cook for Jeff?
I don’t usually cook.
The food that I cook for you
I looked up recipes online.
Is that so?
I thought you had to cook
for your brother.
You know about this already?
Word travels fast.
So you don't like that I'm Jeff's brother?
It’s not a big deal.
I was just wondering
why you had to hide something like that.
It's like you guys
are manipulating others.
Do you understand?
I just don't think everyone wants to know.
Also, Jeff is the one
who asked me not to tell.
Otherwise, why would I hide it from you?
How would Babe’s boy
dare keep secrets from Babe?
But I don't know
if I’m still your boy now.
You suddenly don't want me,
even though it's just a misunderstanding.
I haven't done anything wrong.
You're still injured.
Don't move too much.
I'm worried.
I don't need to move much.
If so, let me move instead.
Red Racing doesn't care about other teams.
They only used techniques to block Babe.
Since Kim joined the team,
taking the lead or overtaking in a curve
has become more difficult.
In the next race,
Babe still can’t compete.
It's just temporary.
Trust me, you'll get better.
Be patient. If you push too hard,
it will make things worse.
I’m not upset about not racing.
But the point is,
I don't want Red Racing to win.
It feels like they’re walking all over us.
That's the point.
Right now, Way is our only racer.
Disscuss the plan
and come up with new strategies.
This year,
our only hope for the championship is Way.
I know you’re under pressure,
- but…
- It's okay.
Even though my skills
are not as good as Babe's,
I'll try my best.
Way, I'm sorry.
I’m counting on you.
Charlie!
Yes?
Come and help me.
I'm going home.
Please take care of Babe.
- I'll go.
- Yes.
- I'll take you there.
- See you later.
- Bye-bye.
- Hmm.
Why are you at my garage?
If you’re here
to mess with me, just leave.
I don’t have time for you.
I’m worried about you.
You're worried about me?
What the hell for?
You’re happy about this, aren’t you?
I'm not happy at all.
I look forward to racing you every day.
Seeing you get hurt like this
it's like I'm wasting my time.
Your team’s a mess.
How did you let this happen to your car?
If my crew were this sloppy,
I'd probably take action.
I probably don't need other
teams' racers to worry about me.
My team’s not the problem.
This came from an outsider pulling tricks.
You should know
who's good at things like this.
I have enough dignity.
No one would stoop that low.
Even if you don’t do it yourself,
using someone else is just as low.
What do you mean?
Winner confirmed that he didn't do it.
Winner? Everyone knows he’s all talk.
Maybe it’s that bastard Tony.
You don’t know
what that old dog’s capable of, do you?
Yes, Alan.
Jeff came in?
Yes, he came in this morning
but he went back in just a moment.
He came to pack all his stuff.
Thank you.
BLOCK CONTAC
BLOCK CONTAC
Someone with glasses
already came by and took the clip.
Is there a camera from another angle
that can capture this person?
We don't have it.
He walked away from every camera
that could capture it all.
It's like he knows where the cameras are.
I've seen the news.
Your team is in trouble.
A top racer with an injury like that
may not be able to race next round.
How are you going to handle it?
Babe may be injured and unable to race,
but our team still has A-list racers.
Here.
Way.
Same class as Babe,
and they trained together.
Hello, Mr. Pete.
Pleased to meet you.
Hello.
I’m counting on you
to look after Beyond Group’s interests.
Yes.
I’ll give it everything I’ve got.
What about the car that had an accident?
Do you know the cause?
We still don’t know who did it,
but I can guess what caused it.
At first I thought you might have
a mole on your team
and didn’t know it.
Please be careful.
Looks like whoever did this
isn’t stopping anytime soon.
I'm worried about that too.
Well, I'll buy some time for you, Alan.
At least I'll keep him busy
with other things
so as not to have time to support
Red Racing for a while.
Hey, how’d you know I like this brand?
I've never told anyone before.
How wouldn’t I?
I’m Babe’s boy.
So you’ve been using it all up
behind my back?
I just bought a new tube
and it’s gone again.
Well, it's so refreshing.
Is it really?
Want me to stock up more next time?
Okay.
Get out. I’m going to shower.
How’s the thing I told you to handle?
He turned us down.
Turned us down? How’s that possible?
Don’t we always lobby this guy
whenever there’s an auction?
Or did they get someone else
to manage it this time?
Still the same person.
But this time,
we weren’t the only ones offering money.
Beyond Group put up a lot.
I think it’ll be hard
to lobby him this time.
Did he name a price?
Three times more than last time.
But I'm afraid we won't be
able to find that much cash in time.
Then freeze Red Racing’s funds
then transfer the money to him.
But Sir, this is the time
to decide the champion.
So what?
I don't care about
that shitty championship.
After all, the racing game
doesn’t make me as much money as
duty-free shops.
You do as I say.
Yes.
And one more thing,
I don’t like anyone
messing with my source of income.
Please keep it out of my sight.
Yes.
Mr. Pete.
I have contacted our police.
About the person who caused trouble
with Pit Babe's car.
He said that
they suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Like professionals.
It's not surprising.
Do you still want me to keep digging?
I'm not sure if we'll get them.
No need.
This makes it clear it was Tony.
We will take revenge on him
with an auction.
It seems like
you’ve got a personal grudge
against Mr. Tony.
Some pasts you can’t move on from.
You have to settle them.
Tony and I go way back.
- Yes.
- All right, then you go back.
Tell Tony’s men in the back
they don’t need to watch me.
If they want something,
have their boss come talk to me himself.
Okay.
Wait a minute!
Don't hurry.
You recently removed the splint.
I’m bored. I want to try walking.
You can call me
whenever you need during this time.
It won’t be good if the pain gets worse.
When did you get here?
I didn't go anywhere.
I stayed here last night.
No, I mean
when did you come over and hold me?
Why didn’t I sense you?
Go ahead.
Oh!
Babe!
Does it hurt?
Why didn't I feel anything?
Where have my senses gone?
Don't worry, it's probably because
you just recovered from an injury.
I think if your body recovers,
those abilities will probably come back.
Alright?
What?
Are you saying that
all your senses are gone?
That's right.
Both vision and hearing.
Right now, I can't even
distinguish the Alpha scent.
Don't tell Way yet
that my senses have disappeared.
I want him to focus on racing.
Okay.
Babe, you got here right
as I finished cooking.
Babe, are you still stressed
about your senses?
I'm just stressed out that I don't know
what's wrong with my body.
It just doesn't feel the same.
Are you afraid you'll become
just an ordinary person?
I don’t know if I’d still
be worth anything as an ordinary person.
Babe.
Even if you have no special sense
or nothing at all,
you'll always be special to me.
What would you say if I asked to race
the rest of the season in your place?
You?
Yeah.
I've already thought about it.
If you were to lose
your championship title to someone,
it’d be better if it’s Babe’s boy.
Do you even hear yourself?
It's not as easy as when you practice
with me at the track, Charlie.
Even if I don't win the championship,
I won’t let Red Racing take it easy.
All right!
If you're going to race in my place
You have to train ten times harder.
I'm ready.
Shift.
Shift. That's good.
Shift.
Stay to the left.
Charlie, what are you doing?
Babe, I'm sorry.
You want to race in my place?
I'm asking if you want to race
in my place?
I do.
Then don't apologize to me.
You just have to do it.
Next, shift down, shift down, not up.
Same as always please, Auntie.
What are you doing?
I see that your wound is almost dry.
Apply some or it'll leave a scar.
You're lovely.
If I’m lovely, then please love me a lot
with less scolding.
You have a lot of guts lately, Charlie.
It's because your cheeks are kissable.
What? You look like a confused puppy.
Just surprised. I didn't know
you could eat at a place like this.
I wasn’t born rich
and always have fancy meals.
I can eat at ordinary restaurants.
I’ve been coming here
since I trained with Alan.
I always eat at this auntie’s place.
And since when did you join Alan's team?
I thought you said
you knew everything about me?
Aren't you a fan?
Don't tell me you lied.
Some things
you can’t just get from the internet.
It’s better hearing it from you, right?
I just want you to tell me.
That time, I was 18
when I left the Chen family.
Are you still recruiting the mechanics?
What can you do?
I can't do anything.
Well, you clean the wheels.
The cleanser and the sponge
are over there.
Alright.
- Enough, that's it.
- Alright.
- Alright, go.
- You can go.
- Come on, let's go eat.
- Let's go.
Come on, let's eat.
Woah…
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Well? You want to be a racer?
That's right.
Try starting the engine.
Would it be alright?
Come on, try it.
Press the three buttons over there.
- These?
- Yeah.
Wow!
Since then,
I’ve practiced like that
every day and night.
Never stopping.
My only goal is that…
I must be number one.
No matter how tough it is,
I can do anything.
The food's here.
Here.
Thank you.
Why are you staring?
Because you're great.
I still see you training hard every day.
You're really awesome.
If you want to be a champion,
you have to train hard.
But you don’t have to
push yourself this much.
Even if you sit out this season,
you're still at the top of the industry.
You don't get it, Charlie.
I can't lose first place.
If I'm not the champion,
then I have nothing left.
I understand.
I also grew up alone.
Please know that right now
I'm here beside you.
And I don't want you to think that
there's only you in this world.
Aren't you too cute, huh?
Eat your food.
I know.
Eat up.
Everyone probably
knows the situation of our team.
Now at The Hallows,
we only have one racer left,
which is Way.
And they keep hitting us
with blocking tactics.
Then what now?
No matter how good Way is,
that’s tough to deal with.
That's why I called everyone
to a meeting today.
I’m thinking of moving one of you up
to the senior division for this race.
What do you all think?
Us? Can we even handle that?
I haven’t even won
the junior division yet.
That's right,
and coming in mid-season like this,
we're clearly the plus ones.
I just need to break their strategy.
At least you guys
can pull the defenders from that team,
then Way will be able to do things easily.
What do you guys think?
I'll race.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
As long as I get to race in The Hallows,
I can do anything.
If no one has any objections,
then I'm letting Dean race.
I would like to suggest someone.
Babe.
Why are you here?
Why don't you rest at home?
I'm bored to death.
I need to get outside, too.
You’re getting someone to race
in my place,
don't you want to consult me first?
Then who do you want?
This is all our team has.
You want North or Sonic?
I don't want to bother them.
Let them stick to making content.
If you don't want them,
then who will you suggest?
Charlie.
Hey, Babe.
I don't agree with this.
There are many racers on our team.
If you’re picking a replacement,
it should be someone from the team.
Well, if there's someone
who'll race in my place,
that person must be
on the same level as me.
Honestly, I believe in you, Dean.
But it would be better
if our team had more options.
Alan, what do you think?
I'm fine with that,
but I won't just let him
join the team easily.
Estimate the braking distance
before turning.
Don't lift off
the accelerator too quickly.
You can do it, Charlie, you can do it.
What's wrong?
You're not getting ready?
I'm going now.
Your hands are shaking like this,
can you control the steering wheel?
I'm sorry.
I'm afraid I'll make a mistake.
And most importantly,
I'm afraid I'll disappoint you.
Charlie,
you don't need to worry.
Just drive like you do
when you practice with me.
Got it?
You don't trust your coach?
I trust you.
My coach is the greatest in the world.
You talk too much.
Win first.
Do you know what will happen if you lose?
I know.
And if I win, what will you give me?
What will it be?
Secure that win, then you’ll find out.
Alright, are you ready?
I'm ready, Alan.
I'm ready.
Good, then get ready.
The rules are simple.
Whoever crosses the line first wins.
If I beat Charlie,
I get to race instead of Babe, right?
Who said you’re racing each other?
The two of you have to race with Babe.
Whoever beats him gets to take his spot.
NEXT EPISODE
I'm sorry, Babe. I lost.
Wait!
Did I tell you to leave?
From now on, I’m banning Dean
from the garage
and practice field for a week.
At least you try…
KIDDO, I'M SORRY.
opening up and getting to know me.
I don't want you to be
a Babe's boy anymore, Charlie.
Way, you're my only close friend.
You really don't know
how I feel about you?
