Pit Babe (2023) s02e08 Episode Script

How could I forget?
You’re the one who gave me a new life.
- What’s going on?
- I’d like to resign from the team.
Charlie became Tony’s target.
And Tony’s going to kill
everyone around him.
Being apart is better
for both of us rather than forcing it.
That’s not gonna work, Babe.
Thought it was a love drama or something.
I can separate work and personal stuff.
Uncle, I think I’m getting worse.
Where are you now, Kid? Hey, Kid.
Charlie.
Will we get the results today?
I know you’re all impatient.
But everything has its process.
Mr. Chris, come and take a look at this.
This isn’t good at all.
What does it mean?
Yeah, is the serum working on Charlie yet?
I can’t say much just yet.
But from what I see now,
Charlie’s special cells
have evolved to the next stage.
Again?
Can you not be so technical?
I just want to know
if the serum you tested on Charlie
actually helped him.
If I have to put it simply,
it’s like we have to start
the whole experiment over.
And honestly, it’ll take time.
Even if the success rate is pretty low,
I still believe
we should have Charlie
start the experiment from scratch.
If Charlie starts over,
won’t his condition get worse?
Well, who told him to take in more powers?
He did this to himself, didn’t he?
I’m okay with it.
Charlie.
I’ll restart the experiment
from the beginning.
Even if I still haven’t
figured out how to save you,
I won’t let anything happen to you.
We’re all together now.
Tony won’t find a way to get to us.
- What’s up?
- I tracked someone from the project.
Found a suspicious place.
Might be Tony’s lab.
Wait for me.
Don’t rush in and do anything stupid.
If you want to join, be careful.
Don’t get spotted.
Okay.
I’m thinking of sneaking in tonight.
But you need to think this through.
Breaking into that building,
are you trying to get yourself killed?
Either way,
there’s a chance we die anyway.
Tony’s not just sitting around.
You know what he's capable of.
He’s probably already making moves by now.
I know, but if it's dangerous,
I'm not letting you do it.
Even if we’re back under the same roof,
it doesn’t mean we have to make up.
I’m not forcing you.
I’m so sick of you two, honestly.
One minute you’re fine,
the next you're at each other's throats.
Bro.
I’m skipping practice today.
Gonna stay with Charlie.
I’ll make it up another day.
No way.
Babe, you can’t skip practice.
Charlie, look at yourself. You’re so pale.
How can I leave you alone like this?
Who said I’d be alone?
Jeff’s staying too.
You two look just as bad.
I’m not fully recovered,
but I can look after Charlie.
No need to worry.
I’m with Babe on this.
I don’t trust leaving you two alone.
Uncle, it’s okay.
This is a critical time
in the competition.
We don’t want to hold the team back.
I’ll keep you updated
on Charlie’s every move.
No need to worry.
But yeah, the competition really
is important right now.
Alright, I'll go with that then.
But if anything happens,
call me right away.
Sure thing.
Hey Sonic, didn’t expect to see you here.
Well, Jeff’s sick.
So I thought
I’d help you out with the car instead.
Besides, didn’t you turn some tech guy
into a racer?
You should give him a shot.
If Dean screws up, there’s no more chance.
Is this the real Babe?
Looking all mature now.
Been around old folks too much.
It's rubbed off.
I’m just giving a heads-up,
with good intentions.
You know how shady this scene can get.
Especially those with a history.
They're the last to trust.
Sonic, if you're that worried,
forget about Paris then.
Just stay with X-Hunter.
- He’s got a point
- Don’t even try, Babe.
I’ve gotta go back to school.
I’m just here for the day.
Mhm.
- Uh, Uncle
- Yeah?
- I’ll go check on the car first.
- Okay.
Hey, wait up.
You’re off to check the car?
Yeah. Good luck today.
- What’s up, Dean
- Uncle, Babe.
Since I became a racer,
it’s made a lot of people uncomfortable.
Dean.
It’s on you to prove yourself.
I get it.
Right now, all you can do
is wait for everyone to accept you.
Just give it your all today.
I’m counting on you.
Got it.
Come on.
Go get ready.
- I’ll go change. See you at the track.
- See you.
- Did you check the car yet?
- All set.
You can double-check if you want.
Tick, tick, tick, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock
Charlie?
What is it? A nightmare?
He…
He’s here, Jeff.
- Who?
- Willy.
Willy came in here.
Tick, tick, tick, tock
Tick, tick, tick, tock
Charlie, wake up. Charlie.
Dean, stay on North’s tail.
Keep it tight.
Dean’s actually doing well.
Mhm.
But Babe's head
isn't in the game at all, Uncle.
I’m not focused. Can I go again?
Hey, Babe.
If it's about Charlie,
we can take a break.
It’s fine. I can separate things.
- North, Dean, one more round.
- Mhm.
- Got it.
- Let’s go.
What’s up, Kid? What is it?
Hello, Uncle. Charlie passed out just now.
Looks like his vision just kicked in.
I'm off to the lab.
Uncle, Babe, hurry and follow me.
- Okay, I’m on my way.
- Babe, I’m coming too.
You guys, stay here, alright?
Uh, what? What?
Where are you going?
Why didn’t you take him to the hospital?
It’s an effect
from the special sense inside him.
It’s just too much.
Keeping him in the lab is the right call.
He was fine this morning.
Why did he suddenly crash?
That’s how future-sight power works.
You can’t control them.
The closer danger gets,
the worse the power affects him.
So, what did Charlie see this time?
Willy.
Charlie said
he saw Willy entering the house.
How’s that even possible?
How could Willy get into Babe’s house?
I don’t know either.
But my power is seeing the future.
So, it’s definitely possible.
Willy might actually
get close to him in the future.
But right now,
we need to stabilize Charlie first.
I think we’ll have to use
the prototype skill-dissolving serum.
Just to suppress
Charlie’s condition for now.
Whatever it is,
as long as it helps Charlie.
Looking at his physical state right now,
he probably won’t be able
to join the skill-dissolving serum trial.
All we can do is give him
something to stabilize him.
Then what are you waiting for, Chris?
Charlie matters
just as much as your experiment.
How about this?
We’ll focus on helping Charlie first.
As for the skill-dissolving serum,
we’ll need someone else for the trial.
I’ll do it.
Wait, you have powers?
Didn’t you give all your powers
to Charlie?
What if it’s an Enigma like me?
Would I be a viable test subject?
Mr. Pete, I don’t think
you should be the one testing it.
If Tony makes a move,
you’re one of the few who still has power
to protect the rest of us.
But right now,
no one else has enough power to test it.
Not even Babe or Jeff.
You’re both not ready right now.
- Then what if I do it instead?
- Uncle.
But Alan,
you don’t have any special sense.
How could you do it?
An experiment without a subject
is like a race without a car.
Arguing like this gets us nowhere.
The clock's ticking.
If we want Charlie to survive,
Pete has to go through the trial.
The drug had no reaction
with Pete’s cells at all.
Thanks for the ride.
You basically drove yourself.
I just came along.
That still counts as giving me a ride.
It wouldn't kill you
to show a little heart. You know?
I just didn’t want my test subject
getting into trouble driving home.
That’s what you call caring.
I may have grown up abroad,
but I understand Thai just fine.
No need to teach me.
- Can I use your bathroom real quick?
- Of course. Go ahead.
Okay, I’ll wait for you at home, Kenta.
Did you go upstairs
and snoop around my office?
I was just curious.
What does a CEO like you
actually do all day
to have all this money
for researchers like me?
Got an urgent matter today.
I have to go now.
Who told you to come here?
Did you just use your power on me?
I just wanted to try.
See if the skill-dissolving serum
actually works.
And? Was I lying to you or not?
You weren’t lying.
Alright, I’ll be going then.
I don’t think we should wait.
I’m heading in to investigate tonight.
The guy I talked to
was part of Tony’s project.
Mhm.
He mentioned a snake.
I think it’s where I once picked
something up for Tony.
I know you’re anxious right now.
But I want you to wait for my intel first.
I want to know who’s running the place.
Then I’ll go in with you.
Then I want you to dig into this too.
Before the incident with the Chen family,
Way handed me this key.
He told me Tony’s got
a secret organization hidden away.
A man named Manit tried
to seize power from Tony.
He tried to reach out to Way.
But then something happened.
And I ended up in jail.
This time, I think it might be useful
if we can figure out what this key is for.
New training schedule?
Yeah.
Gotta push Dean a bit harder.
He’s doing well,
but it’s still his comeback.
We need to fine-tune
his team strategy a lot.
Been testing different rotations
in the schedule.
See what works best for him.
But if we want it perfect,
we’ve gotta train hard.
Seeing how exhausted you are…
I get heartaches too, you know.
Why not let me take on more work?
No, that’s not it.
But can I recharge for a bit?
Recharge?
Battery charged yet?
- About 70 percent.
- Seventy?
I want to max it out to 100.
So? What about now?
- Almost there.
- Almost?
Fully charged.
Then maybe I should hang around
the garage and be your charger.
It’s nice we get to hug like this.
When I heard you got in a crash,
I felt so uneasy. Couldn’t breathe.
If I could choose,
I’d rather be the one who got hurt.
I feel the same way.
Glad I get to be here with you.
But now it feels like
everything’s falling on Charlie instead.
- I need to take this call.
- Don’t go.
What if it’s a customer?
- A customer?
- Mhm.
Okay, fine.
- Hurry.
- Mhm.
Calling from the orthopedic department.
Alan, you have a pre-op checkup
scheduled for tomorrow.
At 2:00 p.m.
Please fast for at least six hours
before the surgery.
Actually, I’m not ready for surgery yet.
Can I consult with the doctor?
But, um, the attending doctor said
you should have surgery
as soon as possible.
Before your condition gets worse.
Still, I’d rather postpone
the surgery for now.
It’s not a good time for me.
I’ll come back and consult
with the doctor again later.
That’s all for now.
Why is it just you?
Where is everyone?
It's obvious.
Babe has to be with Charlie.
And Jeff wouldn’t let Uncle come.
Said he needed rest.
As for Dean…
You probably don’t want
to see him anyway, right?
Then how is this even a team meeting?
It’s just you and me.
Come on. I already ordered food.
Just stay and eat with me, okay?
Here.
The shrimp here is amazing.
Here, take it.
Don’t.
Why not?
I’ve always done this.
And you always eat it.
Never peeled it yourself before.
Wait. Try this. How was it?
Yeah, it was good.
I think it’s even better than
the place in France.
Right?
I’ve still got a bunch of spots left
on my bucket list.
Once you’ve tried every place
I’ve got listed,
you’re gonna change your mind.
Trying to make me stay?
Well…
But seriously,
I’m there to study, not to eat.
So what’s today’s team meeting about?
Oh, the meeting?
Yeah, today’s meeting…
It’s about you.
Well…
Can you stop suspecting Dean?
Uncle’s already stressed enough.
The vibe in the team right now
is so tense.
No.
That’s exactly why
I need to keep an eye on Dean.
So I can have Uncle’s back.
Hey, but he's really putting in the work.
He trains hard and never complains.
I know he’s trying.
But how do you know
he’s not working for Tony?
He already messed up once.
It’s easier to slip up again.
Yeah, you’re right about that.
Guess I should start
being suspicious of Dean too.
Someone like Dean is
not exactly easy to trust.
Right?
Yeah?
You’re not a kid anymore.
Stop being so indecisive.
Huh?
Why are you snapping at me?
Because your indecisiveness
is the problem.
It’s frustrating.
Can you just be clear for once?
So people know
how they’re supposed to react.
Wait, are you…
Are you talking about Dean?
About everything.
If that’s all, I’m out of here.
Hey, Sonic, don’t go yet.
Pete’s not answering?
Yeah. I’m thinking of going in now.
Hey, wait a second.
- You stopping me again?
- I thought you were the calm type.
You’re being reckless as hell.
Don’t get in my way.
We’ve wasted enough time.
Who knows what Tony’s done by now.
You can stay here and wait for Pete.
- I’ll go in myself.
- Hey, you…
Kenta.
Why didn’t you talk to me first?
Why do you always act like
you’re alone in this world, huh?
We’re in this together.
What do you even see me as?
What am I to you?
- Huh?
- A bunch of things.
A friend, someone you know,
a close one, roommate,
or even an assistant.
Stop it!
Hey you…
What are you doing?
Whatever you’re up to,
can you at least consider how I feel?
Not just Pete all the time.
Hmm.
I’m still going, either way.
You coming with me or not?
I'll have a beer.
Thanks.
North.
Why did you ask me to meet you here?
Tell me this…
Does someone like me
come off as indecisive?
Vague?
Never clear about anything?
Sonic said that to you, didn’t he?
How’d you know?
Are you a psychic or what?
Psychic my ass.
Only a few people
would say stuff like that to you.
To be honest,
even from Paris, I could tell.
You two clearly had something going on.
Had what?
I didn’t have anything.
I’m normal, alright?
- Normal?
- Yeah.
That "normal" is exactly the problem.
North, just be honest already.
What’s it gonna be with you and Sonic?
If you're going to cross the line,
then just do it.
What are you waiting for?
Saying it is easy.
But doing it, that's hard, man.
I don’t even know how he feels about me.
I’m scared of losing him as a friend.
And also…
What if by saying it,
- I end up ruining his future?
- North.
You’re usually not the overthinking type.
So why start overthinking this,
of all things?
If you want something, go for it.
Follow your own feelings.
You still have a shot.
Sonic came all the way
back to Thailand this time.
You better give it everything you’ve got.
Just like how Alan gave me a chance.
I’m gonna give it my all too.
We don’t get second chances
often in life, you know?
Got it?
What do you want to know?
Why are you investigating Way?
I just…
I want to know about someone
who looks exactly like me.
I thought you didn't know Way.
Tell me right now.
Who sent you?
Charlie,
why are you draining Jeff’s power?
Feeling any better?
Yeah, I’m feeling better.
Hey.
I’ll be back in shape in no time.
Is this really the right time?
I’m sorry.
I should have told you beforehand.
Charlie.
I know we’re not dating right now.
But if something actually happened to you,
I wouldn’t be okay with that.
Don't worry.
I’ll get through this just fine.
You know how strong I am.
You’re not getting through this alone.
We’re getting through it together.
Got it?
Okay.
I’ll take care of you.
I will…
Just like how you always took care of me.
Everyone’s working on the serum right now.
I believe it’ll succeed one day.
Just like you always believed.
You still have stuff to wrap up tomorrow?
Probably the usual.
- What should we eat?
- Grilled pork?
- Sure. Which place?
- No idea.
- Where is it?
- Right on the corner.
- Let’s go.
- I’ll take you.
Uh, okay.
Since you wanted to go…
Hurry, before someone sees us.
Here…
You.
What?
What are they experimenting on?
It’s Tony.
He’s turning regular people
into special Alphas.
Shit.
That’s terrifying.
- Hey.
- Willy.
Hey, you.
What is it?
Are they building their own army?
Take a photo, quick.
Okay.
Here.
- Hey.
- Go now.
Woah?!
No! Ouch!
Hey, you!
Don’t. Just go.
- Hurry, follow him!
- You're a racer, not a detective.
I told you not to come.
- That’s not fair.
- They're running!
- This way.
- Come on!
This way.
Where did they go?
Hurry up.
They're escaping!
- Where is he? Check over there.
- Wait.
Stay here. I’ll lure them away.
- But…
- Trust me.
Hey!
There he is! After him!
Hey!
Get down. Drop your weapon.
Drop your weapon.
When I was in America,
I saw Way on the racing news.
I started looking into him,
because I was wondering why we look alike.
And then what?
I couldn’t find anything
linking me to him.
But I did find out one truth.
I have Tony’s bloodline.
Huh?
Yes.
So I figured maybe Way is involved too.
Or maybe he’s Tony’s son, like me.
If you don’t believe me,
you can try using your power on me.
Do you believe me now?
I wasn’t lying to you.
What is it, Kim?
Kenta’s been taken.
Willy's a Special Alpha created by Tony.
He can stop time.
Hello?
Hey Babe, Kim just called me.
Turns out Willy has a special sense too.
I’ve known that for a while.
But what you need to know
is that he can stop time.
Hi, Babe.
Willy!
- Long time no see.
- Let me go!
Did you miss me, Babe?
What the hell are you doing? Let me go!
- Let me go.
- I think this pose suits us.
It’s kinda erotic.
You're sick! Let go of me.
Someone as smart as you,
why do you follow Tony's every order?
Tony’s way smarter than any of you.
The doctor’s rushing me in for surgery.
Chronic spinal compression.
Why didn’t you tell me?
Don’t be so damn stubborn.
Does my trust really mean
that much to you?
I know you don’t trust me.
How can I trust
someone who’s messed up before…
Everyone, start the plan.
Go for it, North.
I'll punch you, you punk!
