Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion (2022) s01e01 Episode Script

1
Come on, man!
I thought you cut the alarm!
Don't even worry about it, man.
I almost got it.
Man, these catalytic converters
are gon' make us
some serious stacks.
Black Scorpion
OMG, that was great!
So great!
Didn't mean to startle you.
Hi, big fan.
I can't believe I'm actually
talking to Black Scorpion!
And I can't believe I'm talking
to a child with a magic mask.
Oh, yeah, this mask
makes me super-fast.
Check this out.
I can be here or here.
Here or here!
Here! Or here.
Unsettling.
Can't you see I'm busy
ridding the city of scum?
Wow Way more dramatic
than I expected.
You really lean into the dark
and broody thing, don't you?
If you've seen what I've seen
you would brood, too.
What have you seen?
You know what? Don't tell me.
I get night terrors.
But you're a superhero,
and judging by the way
you picked up that car,
I'm guessing your mask
is magic, too.
We have lots to talk about.
But first how 'bout a selfie?
Cheese!

Check this out, Maya.
I signed up for every
event at Field Day.
The spaghetti
at the wall approach.
Yep, I'm ready to show the world
that I'm actually
good at something.
I like it. What do you got?
- Fifty-yard dash?
- I can win
if everyone else
twists an ankle.
- Ball toss.
- If a dog can catch it, so can I.
- Archery!
- Sharp objects are my friend.
Violet, you know
I love you forever,
but sometimes I worry about you.
Yes!
Be the arrow.
Just
be the arrow.
Feeling any better?
Not really.
That bow had a "field day"
with my face.
Out after the first event is
not exactly the height
of achievement.
Well, the important
thing is you tried.
That's what you tell people
who aren't good at anything.
No, no, winning is overrated.
And that's what
you say to losers.
You never fail
until you stop trying.
Mm-hm.
Mom, you're reading
your advice off the wall!
Well, yes but that
doesn't mean it's not true.
Look
I know it's not
the best time to tell you,
but we're having a celebration
dinner for your brother tonight.
Great.
What did Tiago win now?
Honestly, I can't keep track.
Spelling Bee?
Baseball?
There's definitely a "B" in it.
Soccer! It's soccer.
Must be a silent "B."
- I'll invite Nino Cruz.
- Oh, honey, you know your uncle.
I don't want you to be
disappointed when he doesn't show.
Maybe he'll come this time.
As a wise woman
once read off a poster:
You never fail
until you stop trying.
Like that, guys. Run it again.
I've seen toddlers do it better.
That's before
they had their nap.
Violet. What is it?
Something wrong?
No, everything's fine.
Then why you callin' me?
I'm a little busy here.
Oh, I'm sorry. Am I supposed to
talk to your secretary first?
Uh, Violet, I think
my phone's gonna die.
Okay, fine.
We're having a celebration
dinner for Tiago.
You should come.
- And I promise there'll be five proteins for your "gym bod."
- Okay.
- I'll see what I can do.
- Great.
- See? He's coming.
- Hmm-hm.
- Chile.
- Okay, chile.
- Spoon.
- Spoon.
Mouth.
Mm, amazing. But why are
we having my favorite foods
when you're the one
who won the trophies?
Well, because when
you win your trophies,
you are gonna make
my favorite foods.
Well, you might starve.
No, I won't. You just
have to find your things.
You better start practicing
your machacas, albondigas,
chilaquiles, okay?
You're gonna win a lot.
That's sweet, but we both know
you're getting chicken nuggets.
Woo-hoo-hoo!
Vamos! Vamos!
Oh-oh-oh! I can't believe it!
Champ and MVP!
Come on, Dad, stop. I gotta get
these off the table for dinner.
- Thank you very much.
- Salad.
- We made the perfect child.
- Two perfect children.
I'm okay.
Can you two kiss some more?
The image isn't burned
into my brain yet.
You mean, you mean
Okay, okay! Please, do not
make me hurl before dinner.
Ah, just my eyes.
They burn.
Oh, wow.
Who's that for?
Are we expecting someone?
Um it's for Uncle Cruz.
He said he's coming.
I-I mean it.
He said,
"I'll see what I can do."
He's not coming, is he?
Sorry, honey.
I don't get it.
I mean, he used
to love family dinners.
- What happened?
- I wish I knew.
All right, well, come on. We're not gonna
let cranky Uncle Cruz ruin dinner, huh?
Okay, who wants more
award-winning mole?
- Yes! I do.
- Parents first! Parents first!
- You guys ha You have salad.
- Mole me.
- Salad for you guys.
- We're all having salad.
Ahh!
It, it was terrifying.
I woke up right as I was crushed
by a purple luchador mask.
What do you think it means?
That you ate spicy food for dinner?
I don't know.
But we need to focus.
I have to find
something for my mom.
It's her first birthday since
she got stationed in Germany,
and I want it to be special.
- Ooh! How about one of these?
- Nah. It'll clash with her camo.
Not to mention
the entire country.
Great. I'm not
even good at shopping.
I mean, I just wish
I was good at one thing.
One tiny little thing.
Is that so much to ask?
You're a good friend.
All right, that's one thing.
♪
Hey, Violet! Come here!
I think I found
something for my mom.
Uhh, be right there!

♪
Whoa!
♪
Whoa!
What is this thing?
What's so important
that I had to come ov
- Violet, what's the matter with you?
- Okay.
Okay, I know this might
seem a little crazy,
but this mask is magic.
Come on, Violet.
The probability that magic
Whoa! That is full-on magic!
I know, right?!
It just showed up on my bed.
- How'd it do that?
- I don't know! It's magic.
It must've followed me home.
And check this out.
Stopping
Still gettin' the hang of that.
That is
I mean, your room is clean,
and your hair is
big and beautiful.
You are winning at life!
Can I give it a try?
Sure.
What's going on?
Am I purple?!
Is my hair purple?!
Am I super-fast and purple?!
No you're not purple at all.
Oh.
Huh. Made in Mexico.
Let's see what else I can do.
This is so going viral.
Your feet are on fire!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
That was crazy!
Let's do it again!
Woo!
Violet?!
Violet!
You do not wanna taste
what's in this sand.
♪
This is incredible!
No one's ever noticed
anything I did before.
I mean, maybe this is it!
Okay, maybe this is my thing!
How did you come up
with the name?
Ultra Violet.
I don't know.
It just sounded cool.
Well, now that you got
the people's attention
what're you gonna do?
I really wanna blow this up.
I got it!
What I need is a collab.
And I know just the guy!
You should smile more.
Do-over.
No! I didn't wanna
do the first one.
Wait. I wanted to see if
you wanted to do a collab?
It would really spike my views.
Black Scorpion
doesn't do "collabs."
He stays in the shadows.
Yeah, but, like, 24/7?
We could do
a dance or something.
I know some pretty sick moves.
Are you for real?
Black Scorpion is the sentinel
that guards our fair city.
He doesn't do "sick moves."
You're wasting his time.
But can't you just
Did-did he just
Did he just ditch me?
Ru-ude!
♪
Gotcha.
Nino?!
Violet?! You have a mask?!
Yeah! I have a mask!
And you know what else?
You have a mask!
Oh, this can't be happening.
Wait, this is why
you're never around.
Because you're Black Scorpion.
Okay, what's
the matter with you?
I just have to think, okay?
Just have to figure out
what I have to do.
- Just what it means
- What do you mean, what it means?
- What does it mean?
- I don't know!
You're not even
old enough to drive,
and now you have a mask,
and I'm your nino!
Responsibility. Adulting.
I haven't even
done my taxes yet!
- Now, this! I can't do this!
- Do what?!
- What are you talking about?!
- The mask!
I didn't have anyone
to guide me when mine showed up.
So, I'm going
to do that for you.
I have to train you
to be a superhero.
Really? That is so cool!
No! It is so not cool!
I-I am totally confused.
There's so much more
to the mask than you think.
The mask chooses its wearer,
but it also reveals
more of who you are.
It takes a lot to be a hero.
- Courage
- Got it.
- Hard work.
- I'm with you.
And no matter what,
no one can know who you are.
Wait, what? Why?
Because that's the rule
a superhero must follow!
To protect yourself
and your family.
So don't say anything
about your mask to anyone.
I won't.
Except Maya.
She's my best friend.
What?! Didn't you just
hear anything I just said?!
I heard "adulting."
I already hate this.
Looks like Black
Scorpion stopped another
car theft last night.
Man, I really love havin'
a Mexican superhero in town.
How do you know he's Mexican?
Of course, he's Mexican.
He's dressed like a luchador.
Well, you don't have to be
Mexican to be a luchador.
Besides, do you know how many
cualquieras I've seen
in luchador mask?
Take that new one
Ultra Violet.
She could be anyone.
You don't know.
- Your mother doesn't like Black Scorpion.
- She likes him.
They just have a
complicated relationship.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Oh, nothing.
I don't even know what I said.
- Did we get new plates?
- Aren't they beautiful?
Your brother made 'em, hm?
You made plates?
Pottery class. I just threw 'em
in the kiln and they turned out.
What are these still doing here?
Oh, those are new.
Debate and Academic Decathlon.
You're not even
in Academic Decathlon.
I know. They needed a sub
and somehow, I knew
all the answers.
- That's my boy.
- Anyway, chilaquiles?
- Sí, sí, por favor.
- Yes, please.
Okay, all right.
Guys, I made more eggs.
Hey, Violet
It blows my mind.
I still can't believe
you're gonna be a superhero.
Yeah. I mean, I don't know.
I'll get a ton of views,
but what's the point if
no one knows it's me?
But what if I unmask myself?
Then I could show everyone
the Violet behind the Ultra.
Wouldn't that be
breaking the rules?
Meh, I feel like
they're optional.
Besides, what could be bigger
than a superhero unmasking
herself after stopping a crime?
I'm guessing you want
me to say "nothing"?
That's right. Nothing!
And then everyone will know
that Ultra Violet is me.
What's up, Ultra Nation?
It's your girl Ultra Violet,
and I got some sick news.
Tonight, I'm gonna be
fighting crime with none other
than the city's best vigilante
superhero, Black Scorpion.
That's right! You heard it.
Collab of the century!
And then, at the end
of the night,
there's going to be
a big surprise.
So, stay tuned!
You want me to do that?!
I'm training to be a superhero,
not an actual luchador.
Shh! What is wrong with you?
The mask is
What I'm trying to say is
Everything is lucha.
- Ahhh I don't follow.
- Don't touch that.
Okay, look, in Spanish,
luchar means "to fight," okay?
But also, "to struggle", right?
And our life is a struggle.
This conversation is a struggle.
In lucha, there are
two sides, okay?
Técnicos, huh?
And, and rudos.
Técnicos are good
and follow the rules, right?
Rudos are bad
and break the rules.
They're the opposite.
They'll do anything
for their own selfish gain.
Can I go fight crime now?
What?! No! Absolutely not!
You're not ready.
What do I have to be ready for?
I have superpowers.
They don't.
I can, literally, run
circles around them.
Violet, listen to me, okay?
In life, there are two
forces raging inside us.
Good and bad.
You're the only one that
decides which one wins.
That is the temptation
of the mask.
Do you understand?
You know
it honestly sounds,
kind of, abstract.
My kid brain is having
a hard time grasping it.
If only there was some
way to learn by doing.
Nice try.
Come on!
How am I supposed to learn
what being a hero is all about
stuck in this smelly gym?
It is not smelly.
This is how a gym
is supposed to smell.
And stop touching things.
Fine
I guess we can go on patrol,
but if we run into anything,
you are to hang back.
You're only there to observe.
Sure thing.
I'll be all eyes.
Observe.
I'd ask you guys for
license and registration
but I know these
cars aren't yours.
♪
- Where'd he go?
- Look for him, look for him!
Look for him!
♪
Check this out Ultra-nistas.
♪
Yes!
That glowy punch thing was so cool!
What do you call it?
I call it a weapon of devastating
potency to rid the city of scum.
Eh, too long.
How about "Scorpion Sting"?
That would make a sick hashtag.
I'm not doing this for hashtags.
I thought I told you to observe.
You can't fight
crime with candy.
Uh, Mr. Gum and Mr. Ball
would disagree.
Also, why do you talk in another
voice when you're Black Scorpion?
I know who you are.
I do not have another voice.
Um, yeah, you do.
This is my other voice.
Stay here.
I'm gonna tie these guys up.
Okay. Go tie them up.
You saw that right,
Ultra-nistas!
Your girl Ultra Violet
and Black Scorpion
have just taken down a ring
of no-good car thieves.
But who is Ultra Violet?
Well, you're about to find out!
I can't stop you.
The mask is yours.
It chose you.
But if you unmask yourself now,
you'll only be doing this for
your own gain. Nothing more.
And you will have picked
the way of the rudo.
I-I didn't do it.
I didn't unmask myself,
and I'm, I'm not a rudo.
I wanna train to be a real hero.
Even if it means
no one will know it's me.
I'm proud of you, Violet.
I know that wasn't easy.
Besides, you don't need to be wasting
your time with that livestreamin'.
No. I never said I was
gonna stop my livestream.
Violet! Haven't you heard
anything I've been saying?!
Yup, every word,
but you never said
anything about livestreams.
- Of course, I did.
- No, you didn't.
You just said no one can
"ever know who we really are."
Not the same thing.
Fine. I'm saying it.
Yeah, now.
But not like before.
You can't just go on breaking
the rules for your own gain.
Who's the rudo now?
That's not funny.
Yeah, it is!
No, it's not!
- "Oh no, it's not funny.
I don't understand humor."
Come on. That was good!
Why are you so serious?
Oh, you're gonna go
on a brood now?
"Oh, 'scuse me while I brood.
It's my brooding time.
I'm a serious brooder."
Well, see ya tomorrow.
- Fine.
- Oh, what was that?
I said, "Fine."
This is gonna be fun.
