Motorcity (2012) s01e06 Episode Script

1 1x06 - Vendetta This is Detroit.
Well, was Detroit until Abraham Kane started building a new city on top of it.
Detroit DeLuxe.
Kane promised everyone "the city of the future".
He never told them it would cost them their freedom.
Most of them don't even realize what they've lost, but I do.
Down here in Motorcity, we've got a motto "Live fast, live free.
" I'm Mike Chilton.
And my friends and I are going to fight Kane with everything we've got.
He's coming, Mike! You gotta get in formation now! Relax.
I got it.
At ease, cadet Chilton.
This is your big day.
I said this is your big day! What? The one-year anniversary of the day you left Kane.
I made my special okra-mayonnaise muffins.
Uh, thanks, but I don't really do anniversaries.
The past is the furthest thing from my mind.
Let's pack it up, guys.
We got bots near seven mile.
What, no party? They're extra-mayonnaise-y! I have to get the taste of this nasty muffin out of my mouth.
- Is there something to eat in here? - Just more nasty muffins.
Okay.
Looks like Kane again stole us today, Chuck? Ohh, looks like a half-dozen bots descending on the old opera house.
- What are they doing? - Who cares? Let's waste 'em.
Oh, come on! Let's at least make it interesting.
Corner bot off the opera house.
- Great call.
- Four bots, around the world.
- Mike.
- I see it.
Who the heck is that? Texas feels threatened by his bodacity! Pretty obvious he's not with Kane.
See? He's coming to introduce himself now.
You just messed up, dirt bag.
Whoa! What is your problem? Mikey, can you wrap it up? We've still got one bot left! One thing at a time.
Chuck, punch it! Mike, look out! Mike! Where is he? He's gone.
Mike, we have got to talk about your taste in friends.
Man, did you see his gear? Looked homemade, but it sure is functional.
He's not with us and he's not with Kane.
What does he want? I don't know.
There was something about him an insignia on his chest.
Looked familiar, but I can't place it.
Well, whoever he is, we have him to thank for that Kane bot gettin' away.
Dude, I can't find it anywhere but it looks like it left us a present.
Hoo-hoo! Kapow! Take notes, meatheads! That is how you do it.
I train you boys, give you the best equipment, and you don't do squat.
This guy comes in off the street and singlehandedly mops the floor with Mike Chilton.
So who is he? Well, get out there and find out! I'd like to thank him.
He doesn't know it, but he just helped set my plan in motion.
- What's it do? - Dunno.
I bet it's a trap, one that shoots acid all over you and melts your skin off whenever you poke it.
Can you not say that while I'm poking it?! Mike Chilton, your talent and dedication to your city are second to none.
It's time you were rewarded.
Congratulations, commander.
Are you serious, sir? When have I ever not been straight with you, Chilton? Raise your right hand, recite the oath.
I solemnly swear loyalty to DeLuxe, and to defend it at any cost, to forever wage battle against its enemies - Some day, huh? - Yeah, tell me about it.
It's cracking! Cracking? Looks more like it's hatching.
Aw! We just had baby Kane bots! Lemme smash 'em.
Well, hold up, big guy.
Let's see what we're dealin' with.
How 'bout that? They eat metal.
Look! They're gettin' stronger! Our little babies are all grown up.
Now let me smash 'em.
- Okay, that's my rent! - And none of my muffins! That was my hammer! Get ready to be squashed, bugs! Roth! Get out of the way! They'll eat you! Sorry, Roth.
Guess your metal's not tasty enough.
That's 'cause most of him's not metal.
Roth's shell was made from one of Kane's grunt bots, and all KaneCo stuff is made from synthetic polymers.
But everything else in Motorcity is metal.
Kane's gonna use these bugs to eat up the infrastructure.
And now they're out there in Motorcity? That means no more plumbing and no more houses and no more cars.
Kane will have complete control! So it's probably a bad thing that those robo-thingies escaped, huh? All right, guys, we've got some exterminating to do.
Let's roll.
Robotic female voice: Have a good night, Mr.
Kane.
It already is, with my robomites digesting Motorcity.
Tell your dogs to stop following me.
Oh, no, no, you've got it all wrong.
I'm a fan.
I sent my ultra elites to find you so I could make you a proposition.
Seems we have a common enemy.
How would you like to come on board and work for me? I work alone.
You really think you could take Mike Chilton down all by yourself? Watch me and stay out of my way.
Man, these mites really Oh, and it looks like they've found some more eleven hundred block of I didn't catch that.
Sounds like someone's eating my okra-mayonnaise muffins.
Sick.
Bluch.
They're totally disgusting, but I can't put them down.
It is weird.
There they are.
Blast 'em.
All we're doing is scattering them! All right, Burners, use your firepower tro round these things up.
On my count, unload on 'em.
Three Two One! Mike! Chuck! - What was that? - It's him.
All right, let's do this.
Chuck, cut the lights! Ha ha! Check your rearview.
What? - Target his tires.
- Targeted.
Man, that guy's good.
Just sayin'.
Well, well, well.
You don't look so tough without your star and sabers.
The star and sabers.
It symbolizes the best of DeLuxe.
It's an honor to wear it, sir.
You'll be leading your first mission today, calling the shots.
- Do you know what that means? - No, sir.
It means you'll be making some tough decisions decisions that some people aren't going to like.
Look at me, Mike.
Do you know what it took for me to get where I am? I, uh I don't know, sir.
Dedication, to the good of DeLuxe, without hesitation.
Are you ready for that? - I won't let you down.
- I know you won't.
That's why I chose you.
Harpoons! Mike! Hear what I said? He's got harpoons! Break out the big guns, Chuck.
Wow, this guy is good.
No no Nooooo! Ah, thanks, guys.
I got 'im! I don't got 'im.
Dang it! We lost him again! Not only that, we lost the bugs! And it looks like they've been busy.
More eggs? We gotta figure out how to deactivate all of these? I bet there's a manual shut-off.
There.
Everyone start picking these up.
Hey, Mike, you okay? There was something that guy said.
He knows about me.
- Knows what? - He knows about my past.
Somehow he's connected to it.
I-I just can't figure it out.
Whoever he is, he keeps coming back.
How are we supposed to stop these bots with him always getting in the way? You're right.
I've got to find this guy and deal with him once and for all.
Texas is coming with.
I got a score to settle.
Okay.
Engage neck muscles.
- All right, Texas, you're with me.
- Yeah! Jules, you and the others track down those bugs.
On it.
So, how we gonna find this guy? Easy.
We're gonna talk to the one man who knows everything that goes on in Motorcity.
Me? Why would I know the whereabouts of this mystery cat? You're the Duke.
This guy's been tearing around town in a bright red muscle car, and you don't know where he is? Never even heard of him.
In case you haven't noticed, I've got other items on my agenda, like that horde of robomites that's chowing down on my junkyards.
It's only a matter of time before they find my stash of grade-a pure iron and all my beautiful ladies.
We're all over the robomites, but we need to get this mystery guy first.
Then maybe you should be out there gettin' 'em instead of comin' around here, wastin' everybody's time.
Now unless you're singin' this song, get your kin outta my mansion! One, two, three, four! - Well, that was helpful.
- Man.
Who is this guy, Tex? - Good question, tiny.
- Oh, come on! What? You don't like tiny? He got us again? Oh, that actually looks pretty good.
I know where to go.
You think you might wanna slow down? Hey, I can handle my muffins.
Besides, they help me work faster.
See? Deactivated all my eggs.
There.
We're done too.
Great.
So that's all of 'em.
Uh, Roth, you didn't shut down your eggs, buddy.
You big, motorized chicken! Hey, watch it! Yow! Don't let 'em get away! I don't get it.
He's been leading us to this spot.
I know it.
It's because of what happened here.
Uh, little fella, is there something you wanna fill daddy Texas in on? This is where it all went down, one year ago today.
Target in sight, men.
Prepare to demo these abandoned buildings and report back to KaneCo.
- Ready the crane.
- The crane is ready.
On my count three two wha ? Stop the count.
Mike! Base, this is Chilton.
Is there a problem, commander Chilton? Sir, there's been a mistake.
These buildings are not abandoned.
There are people inside! People? Your people are up in DeLuxe, commander.
You don't understand.
This building is full of tenants.
And? This is one of those tough decisions we spoke of, remember that? Wait.
Sir, you You knew there were people inside? We're on a schedule here, Chilton.
Get those buildings down now, or do I have to come down there and do it myself? No.
I can't do it, sir.
What? - I won't do it.
- Mike, what are you doing? You little dog! I took you under my wing, groomed you for the top, and your first chance at leadership, you turn your back on me? You lied to me.
What else have you been lying about? Maybe this is a lie too.
Don't talk to me about lying.
You took an oath to serve DeLuxe.
Traitor! Soldiers! Arrest cadet Chilton and bring him to me.
- Yes, sir.
I'm sorry, Mike.
- So am I.
Cadets, proceed with the operation! Everyone, you've got to get out! There's a wrecking ball! I got the people out, but their homes No wonder you didn't want to party today.
Not really much to celebrate.
Ah, don't beat yourself up, guy.
You did everything you could.
I could have figured out who Kane really was sooner.
I don't know.
He's pretty good at twisting things you know, being all evil and whatnot.
Makes it hard to figure out what he's up to.
I mean, sure, Texas would have deducified it sooner, but, hey, that's Texas.
You've got to stop thinking about what you didn't do and start thinking about what you're doing to save people now.
You can't change the past unless you have a time machine.
Do you have a time machine? - No, Tex, I don't.
- Oh, dang right, you don't.
Okay.
Now let's find this masked jerk and get some payback, huh? - Texas! - Hello, Mike.
I knew you'd show.
Looks like they're headed for the Ambassador bridge! The biggest hunk of iron in town! Will you stop eating those? You're going to get sick.
Too.
Late.
Aw, man! All year long, I've been training, planning, forging armor all for you.
You lived here, didn't you? You lost your home.
You destroyed my home! Destroyed everything.
I tried to save it, fought my own men.
You led them here.
You led the mission that day.
And then I found out the truth.
I switched sides and tried to stop it.
But you didn't, and you ruined my life.
And now I will ruin yours! Our cars are done for! We ought to hoof it! And this bridge is gonna go any minute! And I think I need to hurl! Ah.
Sorry.
Food poisoning.
Must be Jacob's muffins.
Don't blame the muffins! - Maybe that's the answer! - You want to give them Jacob's muffins? No, I wanna make 'em sick.
So I'm giving you this block of pure, grade-A iron, mint condition, from my personal stash, and you're just going to feed it to the bugs? After we coat it with a corrosive oxidizing agent, yes.
- Dutch? - All set here.
How are we gonna get it up there? Our cars are trashed.
That is on y'all.
Later! You owe me! Well, then, as far as I can tell, there's only one way to get this up there.
Don't you see? What Kane did here what he did to you he wants to do to all of Motorcity! You should be fighting with me! I don't think so.
That's some impressive armor you've got there.
What is it, iron? No more talk.
It's over.
What are these things? No, no, no, no! Grab my hand.
Let me help you.
Never.
Listen, buddy, you're the only one that can do this.
Just remember, they can't hurt you.
Come and get it, buds.
- Roth! - The poison! It's working! - Roth! - Roth! I knew you could do it, buddy.
Whew.
Looks like we pulled it off.
Well, I guess you took care of that psycho stalker.
I don't think he'll be messing with us again.
This calls for a victory celebration.
You know something? I think I am gonna celebrate today.
Fantastic! But, uh can I have something other than okra-mayonnaise muffins? No.
Tough day, huh, son? Perhaps it's time to reconsider my offer.
