Super Crooks (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
It's the invincible team of
the greatest heroes, The Union of Justice.
Our heroes are always out there
working to keep the peace for us.
Tonight, we've got
The Utopian and The Flare.
Where are they this time?
Hey there! The Flare and I are
on patrol here in San Carlos, San Diego.
How are you, good boys and girls?
- Great!
- Great!
I'm glad to hear it!
Like always, let's review
the seven rules of being a hero.
One!
I was watching!
You can't watch TV all night.
Get to bed.
Why? You know I love this show!
That's enough for today. Now go to bed.
It's still only 7:00 p.m.
It's Randy!
Hurry up and go to your room.
Now I get it.
Welcome, Randy!
Hurry up. Come inside.
I'll escape this place someday.
You're still up?
Go to sleep, will you?
I've had it with you! No more of that!
You'll ruin our wonderful night!
As it is, it's already been ages
since I had a man over, thanks to you!
You're ruining the mood!
Do it again and you'll be sorry!
I didn't do anything! It wasn't me!
Quit lying! It can't turn itself on and...
What?
It's not me!
Hey! It's a blackout!
Must be the fuse.
Damn this rundown shack.
Hurry up and go to sleep.
It wasn't me...
It wasn't me, but...
Yes!
It was... me!
Sorry. I came.
You're kidding. Because of that?
- Hi, Tom.
- Johnny!
Did you see the news
last night about The Utopian?
I was too busy for that.
Seriously? There's no way!
I've realized...
my amazing power.
What? Has he lost his mind?
I'm the real deal!
- Watch out!
- Don't worry. Just you watch!
See?
What's going on with you, Johnny?
Tom, it's him.
- This tape is awesome.
- Yeah.
We'll be in trouble if he sees us.
Something reeks. Like piss.
Oh, it's those guys.
Just keep walking, Johnny.
Hey! What?
What's going on with this thing?
What the fuck?
See?
Are you serious? Johnny!
Did you see that?
That's awesome, Johnny!
Quit shouting.
How did you get like that?
To be honest, I don't know.
But when I just wish for it in my head,
I can feel like
an electric shock surging inside my body.
Is it like
the son of Brainwave when his powers
were awakened during the Boston riots?
Watch this.
That sure isn't static electricity.
I knew it.
You've awakened your hero powers.
I've got superpowers?
That's right. You're a superhero.
You can feel that power, right?
You should know.
Yeah. I can tell.
You really are a...
Look. I drew this about that legend
of what happened on that island.
You mean Jupiter's Legacy?
- You really love that, don't you?
- Yeah.
I want to take a photo like this someday
and have it on the cover of a magazine.
You'd be like an exclusive
superhero cameraman.
It's going too far
to say I'd be a pro though.
No, I'm sure you can do it.
Thanks, Johnny.
Those heroes with superpowers started with
those people who went to
that mysterious island on that ship.
And the kids of those first people
have superpowers too.
Then that must mean
you've got the blood of
one of those guys in your veins, Johnny.
In my veins?
That's right!
You wouldn't be the real deal otherwise.
If you've really got those powers,
then one of your parents is one.
It sure isn't my mom.
Then...
I've never met my real dad.
- Then that must be it!
- You think so?
Your father must have superpowers.
My dad?
I'm so envious.
My parents are so totally normal.
A real hero?
That's right. I'm sure you can be one too.
Then you can say goodbye
to this town and your home too.
You're right.
Hey, when you become a hero,
let me take your photos.
That would be awesome!
That's The Flare, isn't it?
Janice?
Yeah... That's The Flare.
When I was in Oakland once, I saw him.
Seriously? You saw The Flare?
Awesome!
Yes. He was really cool.
Yeah. Heroes are
the next evolution of humans.
I wish I could meet a hero again.
I'm sure you will. Right?
Yeah. No doubt about it.
Hey, Janice!
- What are you doing over there?
- What? Nothing, Dave!
Let's play.
Astro Boy? This one's so much fun.
But it's okay. I'm broke this month too.
Just play.
Awesome!
You can do this too?
It's on me.
Have fun.
You bet!
- I've been thinking.
- Yeah?
It's probably like you said.
With this power,
I can escape this lame town
and that place I live in.
And that's not all.
You could even get into
The Utopian's Union of Justice.
I could meet the heroes.
Not just meet them.
You could fight alongside them!
Yeah. That's my true calling.
Your power's electricity, right?
Yeah, that's right.
My name will be... Astro... No...
Electro Boy!
Awesome! Electro Boy!
What? You call yourself Erect Boy?
You virgins could never get it up.
You guys stink. Ain't that right, Janice?
Virgins?
Janice, not you too...
Hey! Johnny!
So can you fix it?
You know, it'd be cheaper
if you bought a new one.
In fact, I can't even fix this.
You can't? In that case,
what kind of TV do you suggest?
Welcome home.
Who's my dad?
What? I can't hear you. What is it?
Never mind.
Johnny!
I can't understand him.
Well, you know what puberty is like.
I'll escape this place someday.
I'll become the real deal.
So this is Electro Boy, huh?
Yeah. What do you think?
Say, why don't you let me
help clean up the design?
Please!
Awesome!
You've got a knack for this!
I'm not a fake superhero nerd.
How can I make this into a real outfit?
I think this shirt will be perfect
to build the design on.
Yeah. That's good enough.
All right!
Electro Boy! Here I come!
"To enhance a great power,
one must be mentally tough."
Ip Man said that.
But why kung fu?
When it comes to training,
Jungle Fury is how you do it.
I will be your Pai Zhua master, Johnny.
Power Rangers, right?
Don't underestimate them!
Jungle Fever was indeed based on
Japan's Gekiranger,
but Power Rangers
summoned actual kung fu masters!
Really?
In other words,
they were better than the real ones!
Johnny, let's awaken your spirit!
I'm really going to do this?
It's perfect for letting loose
the power you've stored up inside.
Get ready!
- Boom!
- Here I come!
You know how a maglev train works, right?
Yeah, but...
And you know,
all heroes get around by flying.
You're right. Okay, I'll give it a try.
I'm floating!
Now we just need to find
someone who needs help.
Yeah! Let's find us a crime!
It's so peaceful.
Too darn peaceful.
There's never any crime in this town.
No superhero team has ever
even shown up in this town.
Then we'll have to
make it happen ourselves!
Summer vacation starts tomorrow.
It's the perfect time.
Right.
The final step in my great debut.
Johnny, we're determined
to reveal your superpowers.
With summer vacation coming,
this is our chance.
First, we'll let the kids in this area
know about Electro Boy.
The best place for that is...
The public pool next to the mall.
- It's perfect!
- Yeah!
Janice might even be there.
What?
Never mind.
- This is really good.
- Yes, it is.
Janice!
Oh, if it isn't Johnny.
Hi. How are you doing?
Pretty good. I'm going to the pool now.
Oh, nice. That's great.
Say, remember what you said before?
When?
About wanting to meet a hero.
Did I say that?
You'll meet one soon.
Sorry. I'm going to be late.
See you later, Johnny.
See you later, Janice.
- Hi, lover boy.
- Tom?
Are you ready?
Yeah. You bet.
Leave the filming to me.
I'm counting on you,
my personal cameraman.
I should make my appearance
from above, shouldn't I?
Fly from the mall roof.
Then they'll see you from the pool.
That's perfect!
It's time for the hero to debut!
Here I come!
Awesome!
Okay.
What's that?
It's a hero!
- The Utopian? The Flare?
- What's that?
I've never seen that hero before.
I...
I am Electro Boy!
From now on,
I'll keep this neighborhood safe
and prevent crime!
Wow! That's awesome!
- Awesome!
- That's totally cool!
Isn't that Tom?
Electro Boy?
Hold on here!
Isn't that Johnny Bolt?
- Johnny?
- Seriously?
No! I am Electro Boy!
I'm serious! That guy's Johnny!
He goes to my school!
Johnny?
No!
What a stupid outfit.
What a loser.
No!
Johnny!
He's in bad shape. Let's go.
Hey kid, are you okay?
That hurts!
That sucked.
And I caused it.
But it's not my fault!
Yeah. I know.
But our plan failed.
It turned out like an EC horror comic.
But I've got this amazing power!
If I can't become a real hero,
then what should I do?
Johnny?
Yeah, it was me who did that.
Get a bag. A giant one!
Johnny?
I'm getting out of this place right now.
What are you planning on doing?
I'll become the real deal doing this!
See?
