Community Squad (2023) s01e06 Episode Script

[suspenseful music playing]
[foghorn blares]
Are you sure?
Relax, it's okay.
They're all morons. They won't notice.
- [crash]
- [groans]
We can make you disappear, man.
[breathes anxiously]
But let's go to the back
so you can explain to me
where the missing stuff is.
Huh? Come on.
Hey, will you help me with these boxes?
[clatters]
[suspenseful music continues]
[laughs] Does he look familiar?
[nurse] His family isn't near here,
so I'll give you his stuff now, okay?
But I don't
GRANDPA KERMANN TOYS
COMMUNITY SQUAD
Well, so that's why I want to underline
the importance of intelligence work, okay?
The only way we're able
to get to the bottom of this though.
It's called mop trafficking, guys.
They teamed up
with the Peruvian mafia, mm?
No disrespect
to our friend Mario over there.
I'm Bolivian.
Well
A mop What is that?
Just to make sure
that everyone here is on the same page.
Yeah, it's a tool to clean up with.
It's good, 'cause you don't have
to get on your knees at all.
Plus, it cleans the floors one time
because it doesn't leave any streaks.
Someone just won himself a mop, it seems.
[Núñez] No, it's evidence.
Right, I I just said it
because I was in that warehouse
and there weren't any mops. I don't
Look, the thing is when someone runs away,
it's normal to miss some details, huh?
Yeah.
The people found dead,
were probably the ones who fired at Diego,
before getting caught
by the Peruvian mafia.
Apologies, man.
So, now the D.A. has
everything she needs to close the case.
[scattered clapping]
Well, thanks for the, uh, investigation.
This restores trust
in the police force, hm?
Well, I hope this lifts your spirits
because I need you at your best, huh?
The pilot program is almost over
and more than likely, it won't continue.
However, we're seeing
very promising results, huh?
So I don't want you to worry about it,
because, I mean, if we take stock
It really isn't good.
Because we're on the newspaper cover,
not for our performance,
instead, because an urban guard
was arrested by the police.
That's why the minister was very clear
that we need to work together.
She wants you patrolling with smiles.
That's not
a difficult task to handle, is it?
For fuck's sake.
I think that's weird about the mops thing.
I'm gonna ask Joni for his opinion.
Don't worry, my friend.
- What's up, Feli?
- Nothing.
Just, um, investigating,
I've got other conclusions.
Yeah, but don't
That's not our job, is it, Feli?
Huh? You think too much.
You need to take some action.
That will help you, see?
Release some stress.
Also with your teammates,
'cause they're not so happy with you.
- How so?
- Huh?
- Did anyone talk to you?
- [clicks tongue]
They nearly all did.
Ah.
What?
- What did they say?
- Oh, things will work out eventually.
- Did they say mean things?
- No, no.
- I've bad breath, or was it?
- You should just focus on doing your work.
Your performance
has really plummeted lately, okay?
I don't know, you started off great
and all of a sudden, you lost your edge.
- What happened?
- I didn't start off so great.
You're right, it wasn't a good start.
But anyway, we'll get it together
because Julio is here today.
He'll be watching, yeah?
- Who's my partner?
- [Esteban] No!
- [Julio] Yes.
- [Esteban] No, no!
- Julio, no!
- What's the problem?
- Fuck my life!
- What's the problem?
I'm fucked!
- You're killing me!
- Can we switch our partners?
[squeaks]
Time to get up, Doguito.
What for?
Maybe it's not definitive.
Couples go through breaks.
She got the apartment appraised.
- She got a haircut.
- Well, maybe she-
She's taking theater lessons.
- Oh.
- Ooh.
- Yeah, that sounds pretty definitive.
- God.
Well, you've got a reason to, uh
put all your energy into work.
Your old man always valued
what I did for him.
Ever since the Queen took over,
I've no idea who I work for.
For us.
- We're family, Dogo.
- [exhales] Right.
[Ariel] I'll get you through this.
The easy way or the hard way, Doguito.
L'chaim.
Bottoms up.
[police radio static]
[officer] 5-4-5, robbery reported
at the intersection of Serran

[pop music playing over radio]
[sniffles, grunts]
Driver picks the music, Rosenberg.
But what's "5-4-5"?
- Like, maybe we
- Shh-
[sniffles]
Are you feeling down?
You wanna lift your spirits?
- Are you and Wheelie having issues?
- All good.
I'm great. We're sort of in this period as
"just friends", but we're, uh, we're more
- That's bad. That's bad.
- Yeah. Yeah, it's bad.
- [horn honks]
- Ya know Hey, watch it, fucker!
You know what you could really use?
Some food.
- Huh?
- Nah.
- Are you hungry?
- No.
[Esteban] Yeah, you're hungry.
Be good, okay? I have a surprise.
[radio host] Remember,
you can reach us at 11-4185-5858.
[Esteban] Hello!
[host] Let's get back to our callers.
Who's this?
- Hi, I'm Esteban.
- [host] Uh-huh.
[Esteban] I wanted to ask
for the usual song
because I'm with a friend who's going
through a tough time of heartbreak.
- [host] Ah-ha.
- He's lonely. You gotta see his face.
- I'm looking at him now. Heartbreaking.
- [host] Poor guy. Okay.
[Esteban] Thank you so much.
I'm a big fan.
[host] Here's a song
by Dangerous Friendships for Esteban
- Chips?
- No.
[host] a fine police officer.
- These are really delicious.
- I'm not hungry.
But look, they're so good, mm.

- That way.

[action music playing]
[turns off siren]
- What's the matter?
- Wow. [laughs]
Nothing, huh?
Guy can't take care of his car,
and we're supposed to deal with it?
Not like that.
- No? How then?
- It's been a difficult year for all of us.
Especially for thieves.
Look, it's one thing to be a cop,
and it's another thing to behave like one.
You want some chips, huh?
Can't we patrol the streets at least?
You want action?
That'd be cool.
[pop music playing in the background]

What's wrong with you, asshole?

- Okay.

[Esteban] Puli, my friend,
What's wrong?
Nothing, it's just all these dealers
are looking for pills, you know?
This is a classic.
Gets you through work. Look at Germán.
- Three lines and he's a-okay.
- Absolutely, yeah.
They shit on tradition. Actually,
I wanted to ask if by any chance I could
I hate you, man.
- I love you so much.

- Oh!
- Okay.
Okay, what are you drinking?
- Whaddya want? Come on.
- Grapefruit soda.
Ugh!
You're a real bummer, bro.
No wonder Wheelie's not into you, eh?
She must be having a blast with Núñez.
Stupid jerk!
How could you forget my chair?!
You didn't tell me
I needed to get it in the trunk.
Oh, but it was obvious!
I'm about to get in the car
and you get the chair in the trunk!
- What the hell do I need to tell you?
- That's what you could've said.
- "Put the chair in the trunk." You know?
- You left it in the street?
What the fuck will I do without it!?
You're a motherfucker!
You motherfucking asshole!
[Esteban] Have a nice drink.
Relax, and have a little fun.
- I have irritable bowel syndrome.
- You have anxiety.
You bum me out. Look at the place
I brought you. There are no rules here.
Felipe, there are no rules here, get it?
You can't be touching
the bottles from the bar.
And if you don't pay your debt,
you better leave.
Bro, do you know who I am?
No, wait. I got it. Uh
We'll go where no one knows us. Okay?
Where they won't judge us
and they'll treat us with respect.
We'll have a nice time.
- Sound good?
- Shouldn't we just work?
- Okay, Rosenblack. Fine. Alright.
- Rozenfeld.
Fine, Rozenfeld, let's go, okay?
You're an urban guard, so what?
You won't change anyone's life, my man.
Can you be a little bit nicer?
- No.
- Just a little.
No, no, no. Fuck my life, fucker!
No, fuck, dude!
- Did you forget to close the car window?
- Fuck, no!
[crying] Man, they'll
just start ignoring me again!
Just when I was starting to
feel like part of the group!
- Relax, it's not
- I was just having fun, and now this shit.
No. It's not a big deal.
You'll come back and make a joke
What do you mean "come back," you fool?
I crashed a patrol car
and I got the silent treatment.
And I got my stereo stolen at
the beginning of the year and again now.
They're stealing a lot of stereos
When has a patrol car had a stereo stolen?
Uh, well, that's a first for me, yeah.
Ouch. [grunts] It hurts.
- Wha what's wrong?
- [groans] It's a heart attack.
- What does it feel like?
- I'm dying.
- Think it's a panic attack.
- Having a heart attack.
Breathe, breathe.
Breathe and think of something nice.
- Think that you're like at the beach.
- Yeah, yeah
- You're at the beach.

Alright, alright, alright, alright.
Maybe we can go to Warnes Street
and see if they have
any news on stolen stereos.
[crying] Not Warnes Street!
Why not?
Everyone knows me there!
Tell them it was stolen from me.
[sobbing]
No, how would that work?
What would you say?
"Yo, how's it hanging?
I'm Felipe, my stereo was stolen."
- Alright?
- But you'd do that?
I would.
- You're the best, man.
- Yeah, yeah
- You're the best.
- Thanks.
Mm.
Alright, it's fine. We're good friends.
Yeah.
Figured it out.
Your carriage, princess.
- That's not my wheelchair.
- Yeah, it's it's similar. Anyways
I mean, it works the same, right?
Who gave you the chair?
There's always people
willing to help here.
Can you give it back?
You're difficult.
You don't wanna walk,
you don't want the chair.
PLEASE HELP ME OU
- Hello.
- Hi, how goes it?
- Long time no see.
- Hey there.
- Quiet today.
- This is yours, sir.
No, no. That's not why we're here, huh?
We're here because my partner
[taps]
had his stereo stolen.
Alright.
- What? Tell me, what happened?
- So
I left my car in Palermo.
- Just doing my thing.
- Mm.
- Window was open I left it open.
- [chuckles]
But it was just a little.
How do you expect?
Of course they stole your stereo.
No offense, man, but if you're the ones
taking care of us, we're a little screwed.
Listen to me, huh?
It could happen to anybody.
The window was open.
Huh?
It's in a very bad neighborhood. Okay?
- Palermo.
- He works with the police in security.
- What, isn't there a code?
- When you're right, you're right.
No, in fact, not only is there no code,
there's no respect for anyone or anything.
- Actually, I have a son that
- Are there new gangs working that area?
- Yeah.
- [Esteban] Good.
- Uh, there's one new, yeah.
- Okay, start talking.
This guy is pissed.
Hey, listen, man.
It wouldn't look very good if I just
went around ratting out my neighbors.
No?
- Well, I'll give you a small hint.
- [Esteban] There we go.
Better.
These people
usually work in the same area.
If I told you "Marco",
what would you say?
- Carton?
- Polo.
- Right.
- Polo.
They're at the polo club, huh?
- No, no, no, no.
- No? Polo lounge you mean.
Uh, it's the area for polo.
[sniffles] I need you
to be a bit more specific.
What if I told you that the street
is named after a hero?
- Just tell me already!
- [bang]
It was a riddle?
- Who even does that anymore?
- No one.
- Huh?
- Is it so hard to give me the information?
- Meh, meh, meh, meh.
- Marco Polo is a really old game, come on.
- "Marco, if I told you 'Marco.'"
- First guess was good, we were so close.
- Polo club made sense. Lounge as well.
- Of course, that's what I say.
[grunts] Oh, hmm.
- [grunts]
- Maybe try the back?
- [thud]
- [grunts]
- [grunts]
- No, no.
[thud]
- We should try the back?
- To the back.
All day long, did you see it?
No, I didn't. What happened?
[loudly] Shh.
It's okay, it's okay, huh?
I wanna talk to your boss.
- [woman] What boss?
- What do you mean?
There's no boss? Oh, okay.
I'll put the gun away then.
It's okay, ladies, huh?
We can do this all nice and easy, huh?
Then you can go home to mom and dad, okay?
What my partner is trying to say is that
we don't mean to use violence in any way.
- Exactly right. Oh!
- [bottle shatters]
- [thud]
- [grunts]
[Esteban groans]
- No, don't!
- What's wrong? Trying to be a badass, boy?
There's been a little misunderstanding.
Yeah, we just wanna buy a stereo, please.
That's all.
Okay? That's it.
- We were told you have the best prices.
- Sure that's really it?
- Yeah, we're sure.
- No, no, we'll pay for it.
- We can pay for it. In cash.
- Here.
There you go. Come on.
Give me the cash, now.
- Okay, okay. How much?
- No, not this one. But this isn't
- That's it. Okay.
- [Esteban] Not this one.
But there's no Bluetooth and it has
an MP3 player, which is really old.
[woman] So?
I want my ste We want
the stereo that you stole from him.
- Then we'll go.
- Which one?
It's, uh
- The one with the Racing shield.
- That one.
- That costs more.
- How much more?
- [woman] It's more expensive.
- [Esteban sighs]
I got nothing left.
Here. You can have it all,
but we're keeping both.
It's good, yeah?
[Esteban] Huh? So? And say nothing, okay?
- Not a word to anyone, okay?
- [woman] Okay.
- [police radio] 748, reported hostage
- Beat it. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
The guys will handle this. Don't worry.
[police radio] Attention all units,
we have a 748,
hostage situation at Fitz Roy and Soler.
[turns radio off]
It's good, right?
You lost my wheelchair, man.
This won't make it better.
You're right.
I am gonna have some pudding though.
And another drink.
Waiter!
["Azúcar Amargo" by Fey
playing in the background]
Great song.
Great one.
- [radio static]
- [bang]
- [Esteban] They got scared, though.
- They were like, "Who's there?"
- Who's here? Pow!
- Who's here.
[laughs]
It's us.
Man oh man. Oh my God.
- [static]
- Open the glove box. [sighs]
Take anything you want.
Classic, huh? And us?
We were great, huh? Very good.
We're a killer team.
You saved my ass.
You were great but I'm gonna be honest,
I thought you were a fucking idiot.
You're not.
You're awesome
and you can do better.
- Really.
- Nah.
- No, no, no.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
I'm working Diego's case, you know?
By myself.
Why do you care so much about Chunko?
You saw the guy twice. Hmm?
- When you gotta get something right
- Trying to impress Wheelie?
Yeah, I suppose.
Not that it's working much though.
You need to take things nice and slow.
She wants you to be friends?
Best of friends.
Buddies, partners,
You lend her an ear. Huh?
And when she least expects it,
ooh-wee.
[sniffles] That's what
I'm doing with Paloma.
["Azúcar Amargo"
continues playing over radio]
- And how's that working out?
- So tell me about Diego.
Tell me about Chunko.
The theory?
In the warehouse
where Diego was shot, there were toys.
Go on then.
Plus, right by the door,
a van was parked outside
from Casatta Brothers,
which was hired
by Grandpa Kermann Toy Store.
Toys. Toy store.
Toy store, toys Uh
It's there's a connection there,
which is pretty
- [Esteban] Pretty obvious.
- [Felipe] Obvious.
[chuckles] Guys, ya know what though?
At least 15 companies
lease that warehouse.
They all keep their merchandise there.
- Right.
- Okay.
- Alright. Yeah.
- Right. So
That's it?
Wait, Palacios.
I want to understand their theory.
Why would a toy store
be involved in something like that?
That's the part that uh,
he's the guy that has an idea. Feli.
Felipe, tell him.
Go on, tell 'em a little more.
No.
- [Esteban] Huh?
- [Felipe] Uh, no, I don't know.
But don't you have a hypothesis?
I think Diego, there's something he saw
- Diego.
- [Julio] Mm.
that Grandpa Kermann guys didn't like.
- Not at all.
And that-that's when they-they, uh
- they fired the gun and shot Diego.
- Shot him.
Alright, there's something I don't get.
[chuckles] Why do you call that a theory?
It's total bullshit, huh?
- [laughter]
- [Núñez] It is.
Well
At least, uh, we had fun, right?
[woman on TV] Did you mistake
a family barbecue for a hostage situation?
[man] All under control.
There wasn't anything unusual
[Esteban] Okay, people. [claps]
It will only be a minute.
A partner here almost saved my life today.
- [Felipe] Well, thanks.
- [Esteban] He's a great guy.
You see he acts like, "Mm?"
"Uh, huh?"
But he adds value.
- [Felipe] Anytime.
- Later, guys.
Get some rest!
How about you just give me a little push,
and then I can take it from there, okay?
What's wrong? What's with the chair?
Nothing, I'm using this one instead.
More ergonomic.
- Are you alright?
- Yeah.
No, I think that I was wrong about Diego.
Ah, it's okay.
Well, at least you tried, chill out.
Hey, I know I got carried away, but
Don't know, I haven't had
that much fun with anyone in a while.
- Mm.
- I get that we're not on the same page but
it's hard for me to be friends with you
'cause I really like you a lot.
Don't worry, I'll get over it.
I'm sorry for acting kind of weird lately.
Oh, don't worry about it,
I'm just as weird.
No, don't be trying to kiss me.
- No.
- Ah?
No, no.
No, no, I
it's for you.
Uh, well, see ya.
Sweetie.
Listen to me.
I just got off the phone
with a nursing home.
They told me that next week,
or at the latest the week after,
don't wanna get your hopes up,
a wheelchair will be available.
Almost as good as new.
Okay?
- Oh, yeah.
- [Ariel] Look.
- This picture was 20 years ago.
- [Ariel] This one with the thing.
- [Dogo] It was during Toy Week.
- Come on, this is older than 20 years.
He gave us a lecture
that I've never forgotten to this day.
I remember that lecture because
he'd say it all the time as a kid.
"Your debt dies
when you don't come to claim it."
That was when he was happy,
but when it was his turn to pay, no.
- Yeah, he wouldn't pay though.
- [laughs] He wouldn't, no.
- [all laugh]
- [Dogo] What?
Queen?
Evening.
Oh, boy.
Sorry to interrupt your party,
but I'm a bit worried.
The truth is we were a little sloppy.
You shot someone.
You leave the merchandise lying around,
you outsource transportation.
I answer to other people, you see.
You're gonna have problems, guys.
Too many fuck-ups.
The fuck-ups are on me.
I'm quitting though.
I'm out. So you can relax now.
- Don't want anything happening to these.
- Doguito, easy.
Besides which,
I don't care for your attitude.
Yeah.
I get it.
What is this?
- I apologize.
- Apology accepted.
- [gunshot]
- [grunts]
Sorry about the mess, you guys, huh?
But next time, it'll be you.
You've got one more chance.
The rave next week.
Mm? Don't worry about the Urban Guard,
we'll take care of it.
I'm gonna need you to help me out.
[toy squeaks]
For my nephew, I'm good to take this?
[chuckles] He's crazy about this guy.
