Pit Babe (2023) s02e09 Episode Script

Tick tock
- Charlie.
- Willy just came in here.
What do you want to know?
Why are you investigating Way?
Stop being so indecisive.
Why are you lashing out at me?
Your indecisiveness is the problem.
Can I charge my battery?
Won't his condition get worse?
Who told him to go absorb more power?
I know we’re not dating anymore,
but if anything happens to you,
I won’t be okay.
Willy.
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.
Charlie!
Charlie!
Sit down.
I said sit.
Thought you were strong enough
to fly on your own?
Yet, here you are, crawling back to me.
Like a stray dog with no master
all over again, Kenta.
No need to worry, Mr. Tony.
I’ve already checked.
Kim and Kenta snuck in.
They didn’t take anything out.
Of course they didn't.
Because they were snooping around.
Use your brain for once.
Well, Kenta?
What are you doing here?
You’ve got him, right?
Bring him back to me, now.
Don’t let him die first.
Babe.
Thanks.
So…
Is Willy really working for Tony?
No idea.
Is that why Charlie quit the team?
Yeah.
Tony said to eliminate anyone
who gets in his way.
Jeff, have you tracked down Charlie?
Willy turned off his phone.
The last location ping was near the lab.
I’ll try another way.
No need to find Willy’s location.
We should find Tony’s lab instead.
I’ll drag him out myself.
I can take you guys there.
But whether we can get back out?
I’m not so sure.
Kim and Kenta just raided Tony’s lab.
And Kenta got captured.
Tony’s lab?
Just the two of you?
I didn’t want to go.
But you know Kenta, he trusts no one.
And he didn’t want anyone else in danger.
What did you see in there?
Tony’s testing serums just like us.
But his are skill boosters.
They grant powers to those who have none.
So Tony’s planning to build
a special-powered army?
Yeah, pretty much.
But it’s not that easy.
From what I saw,
there’s only been one success.
Willy.
So that means…
Willy's the one with
the time-stop ability?
Yeah.
If that serum actually works,
why does he still need Charlie?
Maybe it’s because of his cells.
Tony’s serum isn’t stable yet, right?
And Charlie’s body has special cells.
They can absorb superpowers.
So maybe…
Tony wants to use
Charlie's cells to improve his serum.
Then we definitely
can’t let Tony catch Charlie.
Hang in there, man.
You won’t be stuck with me for long.
Why are you keeping me here?
Why not just hand me to Tony?
Or are you hiding from him too?
Is that why you’re using that jammer?
Guess you’re not as dumb as you look.
I thought you’d be stupid.
Because of you guys
I’ve had to carry this with me.
Tony failed a bunch of orphans like you,
and I'm the one paying for it.
They tested serums on me.
Implanted a chip in my head.
Forcing me to do whatever they wanted.
You don't have to do it,
if you don't want to.
You and I share the same enemy.
Don’t waste your time
trying to convert me.
Tony’s way smarter than you lot.
The chip in my head
is there to control me.
If I disobey him,
one push and I explode.
How’s that?
Double the benefits, huh?
Maybe…
We could get rid
of the chip at Pete's lab.
I take back what I said
about you being smart.
You think I haven’t tried?
It didn’t work!
So now I’m using you.
That’s why a smartass like you
has to follow Tony’s orders.
No matter how messed up they are.
All for your so-called freedom, huh?
Yeah.
I’ll do anything to get my freedom back.
You get that?
Mr. Tony.
Willy’s GPS signal just vanished.
Not sure what happened to him.
Dead or alive,
bring him and Charlie back to me.
Yes, Sir.
You people…
So damn annoying.
You know that?
You Japanese brat.
Stubborn little punk.
Idiot.
If I can't find Charlie and Willy
you know how screwed I’ll be?
You stay and watch him.
The rest of you come with me.
What's with that face?
What the hell are you looking at?
Tough guy, huh?
Let's see how tough you are.
Move.
I say we raid Tony’s lab right now.
Don’t bother helping me.
Willy and Charlie are not here at the lab.
It's probably from Kenta.
But if Willy didn’t take Charlie to Tony,
what’s he after?
I think Willy’s trying
to negotiate with Tony.
If it really was Kenta,
would he want us to stay out of it?
He probably wants to keep investigating.
If he could message me
that means he’s still okay.
Let’s hope you’re right about that.
Kenta being undercover in there
that’s actually useful for us too.
In that case,
Willy's car is our only lead.
Can we start from the traffic cams?
To be honest, Uncle…
I only got access to one camera.
It’s likely ten kilometers away.
Just caught Willy driving past.
That barely tells us anything.
He could’ve gone anywhere.
Judging by the speed
he’s probably out of town by now.
It’ll be hard to track.
So that means…
Willy’s holding Charlie hostage.
The good thing about a hostage
is Willy definitely
won’t hurt Charlie now.
I think you should wait
for my intel first.
No.
I’m done waiting.
- Calm down, Babe.
- Hey.
Let him go.
Better than just sitting here.
His boyfriend’s life is at risk.
Anyone would lose it too.
Getting anxious?
Where are you keeping Charlie?
Right now, both Charlie and I are safe.
Enough stalling.
Hurry up and return Charlie as we agreed.
Agreed, or forced?
I won’t hand Charlie over
until you remove my chip.
You have no right to bargain with me.
If I press this button,
you’re dead on the spot.
Go ahead, then.
Charlie will die right along with me.
I’ll be waiting at the next race.
Right in front of the live stream.
As for how I’ll return Charlie,
I’ll let you know later.
You can send whoever you want
but bring a chip remover with you.
A stray dog I gave new life to
trying to betray me?
Sounds like a fair trade to me.
You get Charlie,
I get my freedom.
Try playing fair for once.
Your sources still haven’t found anything?
Babe's still gone.
I’m scared something happened to him.
He’ll be fine.
You guys go rest for now.
I’ll wait here for Babe.
Go on.
Go.
Get some rest.
Why didn’t you tell them
that I’m Tony’s real son?
I just think it’s not the right time yet.
Telling them
would only cause more trouble.
Do you think they’ll be fine with it?
Probably not.
Because you kept it a secret.
But at least they’ll know
you’re not on Tony’s side anymore.
What about you?
You probably don’t trust me either.
You probably hate me for being Tony’s son.
I don't have the answer right now.
But if you want me
and everyone else to trust you…
You need to finish that serum.
Well? Got any leads?
Nothing at all.
I’ve gone in circles like ten times.
Still nothing.
I think…
He must’ve planned this for ages.
For now, we just have to wait
on Pete’s intel.
I hate the word "wait," man.
I know.
But what else can we do?
Babe.
You’ve done your best.
Okay?
Right now, you should get some rest.
Recharge for a bit.
Then, we can start again.
Yeah?
Alright, everyone get to your posts.
Uncle, your phone.
Hello?
Hello, I’m calling from
the Orthopedic Surgery Dept.
This is from TV Hospital.
Is this Mr. Khematat Tulphisaan?
We’d like to confirm an appointment
with your doctor this week at 2:00 p.m.
Are you available?
Yes. Thank you.
I’ll have Alan call you back.
Hey Kid, who was that?
The hospital. What’s wrong, Uncle?
We're dating,
we should trust each other, right?
Why didn’t you tell me anything?
It’s nothing.
Just a regular yearly check-up.
That was the orthopedic department.
Do you see me as a stranger?
Or do you think I can’t take care of you?
It’s just…
The doctor keeps pushing for surgery.
It’s chronic spinal nerve compression.
It happened…
after that last race I was in.
That’s why I had to quit racing.
If I do the surgery,
I’ll need months to recover.
So I wanted to delay it.
I’m sorry, Kid.
For not telling you sooner.
Why wouldn’t you talk to me
about something this big?
It’s not like that.
We’re living together,
I just want to be someone you can talk to.
I’m sorry, Kid.
Let’s go see the doctor together.
Right now, we all have to stick together.
I promise,
once we get through this,
I’ll let you take me
to the doctor right away.
Okay?
You might be the big bro of the team
but I don’t want you carrying this alone.
Even though I’m just a kid,
I can be someone you can lean on too.
Thanks, Kid.
Are you tired? You were spacing out.
No, I’m good.
Here.
Worried about Charlie?
Well…
Something like that.
You can always talk to us, Chris.
Yeah.
We do care about our colleague.
It’s just…
Someone who used to trust me
doesn’t anymore.
Whatever, it’s not a big deal.
Come on. Trusting really is a big deal.
Well, he doesn’t trust me now.
What else can I do?
Then prove it until he does.
Watch him through his actions
or his eyes.
The eyes are the hardest thing to fake.
The eyes of someone who trusts you
and someone who doesn’t,
they look completely different.
Is it your boyfriend?
I don’t know, honestly.
We’ve never talked about it.
And me…
I wasn’t serious about it.
I’m rooting for you.
Or maybe… I should pass
the message for you?
Might help clear things up faster.
It’s alright.
Tell every team to prep their gear.
We’re about to trade with Willy.
We can’t afford to mess this up.
Copy that.
Once your team is ready,
wait by the field.
Hello, Darling.
How’s it going, Kenta, my baby?
Having fun doing absolutely nothing?
Just house-sitting for now, alright?
What is it?
What? Spit it out, man.
I have no clue what you’re saying.
What the hell?
Spit it out.
This punk…
Spit it out!
Hey!
Shit! That's one of my guys!
Take those masks off, all of you!
You!
You!
You! What is it? Take it off!
Now, you.
Hey!
I said take it off!
What’s so hard about it?
I said take your damn mask off!
Oh hey, Kenta.
Playing hide and seek?
That's kind of cute, you know.
But you can't run from me.
I’ve got new intel.
Tony’s meeting Willy to trade Charlie
at the racetrack.
During this upcoming race.
Something about this feels off.
They’re setting up an exchange
at a racetrack?
It’s way too crowded.
Pete.
How reliable is your intel?
I got it from Kenta.
So I sent someone to check it out.
Turns out the rescue team name
was changed for this race.
And it’s not in our system before.
Even if he wants Charlie that badly
Tony wouldn’t show his face to anyone.
Everyone thinks he’s dead.
If Willy’s really
trading Charlie on that track,
then we’ve got a shot at getting him back.
Since I was born,
I’ve only ever known two people.
And both of them
never gave a damn about me.
I made you some samgyeopsal.
Don’t know if you’ll like it.
I’m not picky.
Thanks.
What was that?
Thank you.
You stay here.
- I’ll lure them the other way.
- But--
Trust me.
Wherever you run, whatever you do,
just care how I feel, okay?
Where are you dragging me, Sonic?
Hey, man.
You sure about letting Dean race?
Why wouldn’t he be allowed?
We need two cars
to corner Willy on both sides.
Look, I’m not saying anything bad, okay?
But Willy managed to track down Charlie.
We might have a mole in our team.
I get where you’re coming from, Sonic.
Have you learned
anything from what happened?
Or did you forget about it all?
I haven’t forgotten.
But I believe people can change, man.
And everyone deserves a second chance.
Give him a shot, will you?
Sonic.
I know you don’t trust me.
Yeah…
I really don’t, to be honest.
You messed up once.
How do I know you won’t mess up again?
It’s fair if you think that.
But tomorrow, I’ll prove myself.
That I’m still part of X-Hunter,
through and through.
Is something urgent going on?
Not really, no.
I just wanted to talk to you
face-to-face and clear things up.
About your trust.
Is my trust really that important to you?
Let me make it clear right now.
Someone like Tony
who uses science as a weapon,
I would never work with someone like him.
And even if we were just hooking up,
I’d still feel uneasy
knowing you saw me as the enemy.
I believe that if you really
wanted to team up with Tony,
you wouldn’t have come
to this lab in the first place.
Aren’t you gonna try using your powers
on me? Tie me up or something?
No need for that.
I trust you.
Babe, you good?
I'm good.
I'm Pit Babe, after all.
Your insomnia’s back, isn’t it?
I saw your hands shaking just now.
It’s just physical stuff.
One sleeping pill and I’ll be fine.
Save your strength, okay?
Back when you still had powers,
you saw a vision of Charlie
getting captured, right?
But Alan told me something.
That you once saw the future
where you and him…
wouldn’t be together.
What about me and Charlie?
Did you ever see anything?
Never.
But Charlie once told me
no matter how bad the future looks,
everything can be changed.
It depends on what we do now.
I believe in you and Charlie.
Both of you
are willing to do whatever it takes
to get back to each other.
Welcome to
The Hallow Super GT Street Thunder.
This is the fifth round.
All competitors
are now getting ready for the race.
Only three minutes left.
But it looks like
the competitor from ETA, Willy
still hasn’t shown up.
Still no sign of Willy.
You think he’s gonna show up?
No idea.
Track officials
are still finalizing preparations.
Including the live broadcast division
all getting ready for the race to begin.
Alan.
- What if Willy doesn’t show up?
- Calm down, Babe.
We’ve still got one minute left.
Drivers, get ready to start your engines.
Shit.
- One minute left, let’s go.
- Go!
All drivers, please resume your positions.
Oh, here he comes!
And here’s Willy
from ETA entering the track.
Now that’s the real deal.
ETA fans can breathe easy now.
All racers are now present on the track.
Get ready, everyone.
No matter what happens, stay focused.
Here are today’s starting positions:
First is Pit Babe from X-Hunter.
Second is Dean from X-Hunter.
And the one who just arrived,
Willy from ETA.
Less than 30 seconds remaining now.
Drivers are ready.
Everyone else, clear the track.
And they’re off!
Willy from ETA takes the early lead.
He’s ahead for now.
Followed by Pit Babe and Dean.
First turn now,
no changes in position yet.
Willy pushes forward, really going for it.
Pit Babe still on his tail,
followed by Dean and North.
There are
lots of blind spots on this track,
especially around the containers.
- Entering Zone B now.
- That’s our meeting point.
Then what?
Rescue teams
are stationed closest to the track.
Willy from ETA still holds the lead.
Just get the package
and the guy on that car.
Shouldn’t be too hard for you.
And how will I know
which spot is the meeting point?
The blind spot near the containers.
It’s a place you can duck into.
Just meet me there.
Watch out, folks,
it’s a tight
and slippery section up ahead.
If you're not careful,
accidents can easily happen.
Everyone, get ready.
Tomorrow,
we’re gonna have to cover the rear.
We’ll stay close to Willy
and intercept his plan.
ETA’s taken the lead now.
I’ll disguise myself
as a race official to block the exit.
- Kim, I'm ready.
- Let’s see who wins this one.
It’s time to find out who’ll take the win.
Willy must’ve planned
the trade-off in secret spot.
And the most likely location
would be one of the container corners.
- So…
- Here we go.
- …we’ll force Willy…
- Someone just overtook!
off the route, somehow.
- Good plan.
- But what if someone sees us?
There are a lot of cameras there too.
- Kid, did you cut the signal yet?
- Close call. X-Hunter or ETA?
Let’s see who’s gonna come out on top.
- Nice timing.
- Uh-oh, what happened?
- Signal’s out completely.
- We’re ready.
Everyone, start the plan.
Ready? North, you go ahead and pass him.
Dean, cover the right side.
I’ll get close to the rear.
Everyone, surround Willy.
Don’t let him escape.
Hold him steady for now.
Don’t let him veer off,
guide him to the rendezvous point.
Stay cool, just one more turn.
Now’s the moment. North, go for it.
On it, Bro.
This side’s all sealed off.
Everything’s going to plan.
Willy’s fallen into our trap.
Missed me that much, huh, Babe?
Coming at me like this…
it’s kinda thrilling.
It'll be more than a thrill.
You’re dead meat today.
Calm down.
Tell me where Charlie is.
Babe, Dean, hurry it up.
Rescue’s on the way.
Okay, Alan.
Babe, the rescue crew’s closing in.
If you want Charlie back,
you’ll have to trade me something.
Trade you my fist first, you jerk.
Tell me! You wanna die?
I love it.
Rough stuff like this.
Babe, stop, he could actually die.
Babe.
Here.
Hurry, Babe!
Damn, he’s heavy as hell.
Babe, get out first.
I’ll handle things here.
Yeah.
Dean, can you help hold them off?
- Let Babe make his escape first.
- Got it, Alan. I’ll handle this.
This kid…
…sure has guts.
Trying to play the hero again?
Ooh.
Dean! Dean!
Dean, answer me! You okay? Dean!
Where’s the key?
Dig for it.
Get it out.
I’m sorry, Babe. All of this
happened because of me.
I just… I don’t even know
what this thing between us is.
- Thanks for still being here.
- I’ll always be here.
I’ve come up with a new idea
to improve our skill-dissolving serum.
Charlie!
Whatever the reason may be,
since we’ve made a deal,
I need you to keep your word.
