Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion (2022) s01e03 Episode Script

Lucha Royale

1
Well, there goes my last pair.
Guess we're done.
Good work today.
Okay work today.
Lotta room for improvement,
actually.
Nice try, but you
can't bring me down.
Lucha Royale
is this weekend! Woo!
It's the biggest wrestling
event of the year!
I've been waiting
for it forever!
We're going to celebrate Mom's
promotion. You should come!
Bunch of screaming people
with mouths full of nachos?
I'd rather spend
the night alone.
Okay, that's the most
depressing thing I've ever seen.
And I've been to a birthday
party at a food court.
It's my dinner, so you
should stop talking
and let nuke it.
Being a superhero doesn't mean
you have to be a super loner.
Heroes don't get the luxury
of friends and family.
And the award for the Most
Tormented Lucha Superhero
goes to you!
You can have both.
Look at me! Training today
and then fam tomorrow.
Besides, don't you miss it?
I mean, you used to be
the great luchador El Bravo.
Well, those days are over.
Come on. Just come with us!
Don't you think you deserve
at least one fun night
with the family? Besides,
do you know how many times
I can say "come on" in a minute?
- Let me grab my mask
- No! Don't.
- I'll meet you there.
- Yes!
Lucha Royale, here we come!
That's actually
a good primer burn
for the hot nacho cheese
we're going to eat.
Vuvuzela? Check.
- El Gigante sign?
- Check.
And drum.
Where's the drum?
El Gigante! El Gigante!
All:
El Gigante! El Gigante!
Do you think
he'll be able to hear us?
We're his biggest fans,
so we gotta be the loudest!
Uh Trust me,
he'll hear you, Dad.
Ah. And that just leaves
one last thing.
Secret surprise for your mother?
- All: Check!
- It's gonna be amazing!
Your mom's gonna be so
excited when the four of us
are up there on the Jumbotron,
and they snap our photo.
We'll have the best
Christmas card on the block.
No one's going to care
about the Ibarras this year.
- Mom's going to love it!
- What will I love?
Juan Carlos:
Uh, uh
my new and improved grito.
I can't wait to cut loose!
The rudos won't know
what hit 'em!
This is gonna be so sick!
And drum roll, please
Nina: Oh, okay.
Uncle Cruz is coming!
- He's meeting us there.
- Violet
Your nino doesn't go to
lucha stuff anymore.
Not in a long time.
Yeah, and I'll never
understand that.
Who wins a title
and then just quits?
We just don't want you
to get too excited, mija.
Too late! Way too excited
because he's coming, and you're
all going to eat your words,
and they'll taste like regret.
Choke on it.
As your mother,
I'm a little upset right now.
But as a lucha fan,
- I couldn't be prouder!
- Yeah!
Can El Bravo do the impossible?
He goes for the pin!
Uno! Dos! Tres!
El Bravo is the new champion!
Viva El Bravo!
Whoa, Cruz!
- Gigante.
- El Bravo.
Ah
What, you come back tonight
to reclaim your title?
Bravo's retired.
But, it is weird
being on the outside.
Ah, you don't have to be.
Hey, the ring hasn't been
the same since you left it.
The ring is for luchadores only.
It's not for me anymore.
No, no, no. Lucha
is a way of life, Cruz.
And a man who fights for honor
is always welcome in the ring.
The rudos may have
something to say about that.
Yeah, they always do.
Vaya con dios.
Good to see you, brother.
Always.
It looks like they've
already started.
And tonight's gonna be
full of surprises.
Fénix and Payaso aren't
even scheduled to be here.
You know what they say. Anything
goes at the Lucha Royale!
Let's go!
Oh! Feo is going
to feel that tomorrow!
Fortuna gets out just in time!
This might be it
Oh! Fortuna steals the pin!
Leopard!
Yo, I'll catch y'all later.
Francisco!
It's me, Bravo!
Paco. Yo.
Put him in a body bag!
Make him cry for his mommy!
Ruin his credit score!
That's my daughter! Ha, ha!
Sierra with a handspring,
into the takedown!
Uncle Cruz should
be here by now.
I'm just going to
check his location.
Come on, honey.
We're here!
Lucha is in the air!
Oh! Do I smell a churro
with your name on it? Hm?
Come on! Let's go!
- It's all over!
- Sierra takes this match
for los rudos!
- Rudos! Rudos! Rudos!
- People, get up!
Our técnicos need our energy!
See it! Believe it!
Achieve it! Lemme hear you!
All:
See it! Believe it! Achieve it!
Uncle Cruz is here! I'm gonna go get him.
Be right back.
This seat taken?
Uh, well, it is now.
'Kay, cool.
Nino!
What happened?
Okay
Thought I saw my buddy Snow
Leopard, but I got ambushed.
You know what's weird?
He's not even scheduled tonight,
and neither are
Fénix and Payaso,
and I saw them, too.
Something's going on.
Great. The one night
I don't wanna fight crime,
and now I got to fight crime?
Let me guess.
- This is where you tell me you were right?
- No.
This is where I tell you
you can't have it all,
which is accurate
and what I told you before.
So, yeah, I was right.
Okay, fine.
So, what do we do now?
We don't do anything.
You go enjoy yourself.
No, we are doing this.
But we have to make it fast
because I am not about to miss
the look on my mom's face
when it hits the Jumbotron.
Security cameras. Nice.
Gremlin's holding tight,
but Titan puts him
in a sleep cycle!
Yes! Go get him!
Is everything okay?
- Everything's fine.
- Okay.
Where's your sister?
The Jumbotron photo's
gonna happen any minute!
Dad, don't worry.
She'll be here. Okay?
No one's been looking forward
to this more than Violet.
Except maybe Mom
and this lucha match.
Goodbye! Goodbye!
Técnicos forever!
Woo! Here we go.
- Wait. You're a
- Rudo!
- Look!
- Cruz: There's that fake Snow Leopard.
We gotta shut these guys down
before they hurt anyone else.
Please, turn
your attention to
the Jumbotron!
Where's Violet?
Where Lucha Royale
is pleased to welcome
our golden guest of honor,
newly minted principal
of Dolores Huerta
Middle School
Nina Rodriguez!
No
I missed it!
We've been planning
that for weeks!
How could this day
get any worse?
Violeta Bernarda Rodriguez!
How could you miss
the Jumbotron?
Dad, I-I'm so sorry.
Now, I'm gonna have to Photoshop
you into the Christmas card.
Cruz, nice to see you,
but it'd be nicer to see
both of you in your seats.
Arriba!
- I
- No.
No! No!
Rápido.
Look who I found.
Yeah. Violet!
Finally! I
Wait, Cruz?
You made it!? Oh!
It's a lucha miracle!
This reminds me of
when we were kids,
and you would get so excited
about your favorite
luchador that you
Yeah, you would throw up.
Why do you think
I never wore sandals?
I knew it!
Ladies and gentlemen,
fanáticos de Lucha Libre,
prepare yourselves for
Lucha Royale!
Woo!
You know what that means?
El Gigante sign!
Here you go.
You know,
you could hold onto this.
I think técnico would be
a good look for you.
Really? Because it's
a terrible look for you.
That's nice.
Tonight's match
has but one rule.
Exit the ring over the top
rope, and you're gone!
But! Should you be
the last man standing
Tonight's proceeds, $100,000,
in cold hard cash,
will be donated in your name
to the Children's Hospital.
The briefcase, por favor!
Técnico! Técnico!
Técnico! Técnico!
Técnico! Técnico
That's why that impostor
Snow Leopard's here.
He's after the money.
I have to stop them.
Nino, wait!
- Hey!
- What are you doing?
I don't know!
On the one hand,
I want to be with my family,
but I also wanna help you
stop these guys.
This is the worst!
This isn't therapy.
As a superhero,
it's not a matter of
where you want to be,
but where you have to be.
Pure carnage!
And Fortuna is out!
Yes!
El Gigante! El Gigante!
El Gigante! El Gigante
And it looks like El Gigante
has entered the fray.
The Earth trembles
beneath Gigante's might!
I just don't get why
you wouldn't wanna root
for the técnicos.
They're the heroes!
They're the weaker luchas!
Rudos are bold!
- Why don't you switch sides?
- I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
Friends?
Ow!
Rudos for life!
Don't you forget it!
She's so good at being bad.
Hey, mess with the bull,
here come the horns!
And it looks like it's pay day!
Hey, Romeo.
How'd it go with Julieta?
Rough. Really rough.
Ow.
Where's your sister?
Wasn't she just here?
- I don't know.
- Woo!
Let's go!
El Gigante: And a man who fights
for honor is always welcome.
Madre de dios!
I don't know what's happening!
A new challenger
has entered the ring!
And he bears a striking
resemblance to
Black Scorpion?
What a weird
and wonderful tribute
to our city's hero!
Nobody invited no busted
discount Black Scorpion
to this match.
You were saying?
If you could do me a solid
and gently toss me
over the top rope,
I'd really appreciate that.
Oh, I can't believe they got
Black Scorpion to show up.
What a guy!
- Do you think they sell his costume in my size?
- What?
I'm just asking for a friend
who happens to be my size.
Nina:
Violet!
You need to quit wandering off.
I came here to get rowdy!
How am I supposed to
achieve maximum rowdiness
- without my crew?
- Sorry, Mom.
Just don't go
wandering off again!
Hey, kid, check it out.
Black Scorpion's in the ring.
What?
Black Scorpion could use
a tag-team partner
right about now.
Violet:
I want to be with my family,
but I also want to help
you stop these guys.
Cruz: As a superhero, it doesn't
matter where you want to be,
but where you have to be.
What do I do?
Huh?
Didn't your mom tell you
not to play with knives?
Look at her go.
I think I'm going to be sick.
And I love it!
Stunning reversal
as Black Scorpion is
saved by Grape Girl!
Did you hear that?
I saved you.
Did you hear that?
He called you Grape Girl.
I got this.
- Yeah! Let's go!
- Woo!
Ooh, he took that
clown for a ride!
But it looks like Snow Leopard
is still in the race!
On it!
Gigante!
He's stealing the money!
- Throw me.
- Okay, but remember, you asked me to.
Cha-ching! Snow Leopard
is all cashed out!
You're welcome.
What sportsmanship!
Never in my 30 years of lucha
have I seen such art!
The winner!
El Gigante!
El Gigante! El Gigante!
El Gigante!
El Gigante! El Gigante!
You know, you remind me
of someone.
Black Scorpion! Damas y
caballeros, what a show!
What a show!
Also, this sword is real!
I'm fine. I would like to
know where my daughter is
- because we came together.
- You texted her, I text
Nina: No, I texted her already,
she didn't reply, then
- Violet: Hey, guys.
- Oh, there you are.
- So, I know you're all mad
- Nina: Mm-hmm.
And the last thing I wanted
to do was ruin your night.
- But, I can explain.
- Nina: Okay.
Explain.
So
first of all, you're beautiful.
- Yeah, I know.
- Second
Violet wanted to surprise you
for your promotion,
and, uh, I needed her help.
Familia, this is Gigante.
- Ay
- Oh
Gigante,
- this is my familia.
- Nice to meet you.
- Wow.
- I love you.
- Can I touch your fur?
- All: No, no, no!
Okay, okay, okay!
We can
How about a picture?
Hey.
Thanks for helping.
You were right.
Juggling life and crime fighting
is more complicated
than I thought.
Yeah, it is.
But, for once,
you weren't entirely
wrong either.
Okay
- Say El Gigante.
- El Gigante!
