Super Crooks (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 11 - Episode #1.11 - full transcript
Electro Boy became the youngest leader
of The Union of Justice ever!
We finally have a superhero who can
truly maintain peace in the USA forever!
Carmine!
What's wrong?
How could he be so stupid?
Getting caught pulling a scam
in The Salamander's own casino...
How could he do that?
A hundred million dollars in a month...
There's no way it can be paid.
He just wants villains everywhere
to get the message.
But if it's not paid,
Carmine will be killed.
That's right. So our only choice
is to get him out of the country.
Actually, we could use
some intel I picked up at Supermax.
Forget it.
It's a way we could get 100 million!
I don't want to hear it!
I want you out of here
by the time I'm out of the shower.
I'll arrange for Carmine's fake passport.
Wait! Let's talk...
Running away isn't your style,
is it, gramps?
There will be parades
for days to celebrate him!
"It's him! He's so cool!
Electro Boy! Look at me!"
Not a chance.
Count me out.
How come?
Because every job I've done
with you two has been a failure.
And compared to five years ago,
there are even more superheroes.
They call themselves heroes,
but they all just wanna be famous.
Ghost! Johnny's the one
who came up with this plan, not me...
Ouch...
Take it easy, would you?
I'm done with the villain racket.
The architecture firm I started
has been doing well.
I've got no reason
to go out and commit crimes.
This is to help Carmine!
I really am in big trouble.
Then escape overseas.
I'd be willing to pay for that.
I owe you
that much for protecting me in prison.
Electro Boy. The Utopian. The Flare.
Their unwavering friendship
makes them invincible wherever they go!
Hey! Where do you think you're going?
There's still a whole truck
that needs to be unloaded!
I thought Banks was supposed
to handle the rest.
Banks took off 20 minutes ago.
My wife's waiting for me at home.
She's got the night shift,
so I gotta watch my little girl.
Watch her all you want
after you unload that truck.
I'll wake up the driver.
Don't go anywhere until you're done!
Hey! Wake up!
Hurry up and back this thing
into the loading dock!
Hey! Goddammit! He's sleeping
with his headphones on again.
Hey!
What the...
You fuckin' idiot!
You know using superpowers is prohibited!
My wife will get fired
if she's late for work!
If this gets caught on video,
I'll get fired too!
Put all these back and unload 'em
one by one by yourself! Understand?
Sheesh!
We never shoulda hired an ex-villain.
You awake now? Okay, don't move it yet!
And don't go to sleep either!
Hey there, TK.
Isn't it about time you found a new job?
Johnny...
If this is about a job, forget it.
Nobody would pay ten bucks
for an umbrella on a sunny day like today.
You think so?
I'll take one!
Sure thing! Thank you.
- Me too!
- You got it.
Where did this rain come from?
That sure is odd.
I thought the weather forecast
was for clear skies all day today.
You're not here for an umbrella, are you?
Johnny Bolt, aka Electro Boy,
doesn't take orders from anyone.
Johnny Bolt only fights
alongside his friends
and does things his own way.
My dominant hand!
Their work is as grotesque as ever.
Is it their work
that's grotesque or just them?
You okay?
You better believe it!
I can still brawl!
Sammy!
This is for hurtin' my brother,
you mother fucker!
Beat the shit outta him, Roddy!
For my plan to succeed,
we'll need both Roddy and Sammy.
I hope they can join, but...
Disposable ax kick!
Are you Eleanor's girl?
You a villain?
Mom's been in the hospital for ages.
Oh, I see.
We don't get work for any plebes.
We haven't for ages.
Plebes?
I'm Kasey-Anne.
Didn't your mother tell you about me?
You can't expect me to remember
the names of every rookie villain.
Rookie?
Whatever...
I'm not here for work.
I need a fake passport
and an airline ticket.
For you?
No, for my mentor.
He got into some trouble.
He's got to get out of the country.
I can make you a passport.
Bring him by tomorrow.
You really haven't heard about me?
What?
You haven't heard of
the Phantom Witch, the West Coast Meteor,
or the Eye-Dazzler Blonde?
Holy... How lame.
Sounds like those old porn stars.
But I couldn't stand
the life of a villain anymore,
so I retired and live
a quiet life now, so I don't care.
Really? Okay. See you tomorrow.
But when I was active,
everyone knew my name.
You retired, right?
If you're happy being ordinary,
then be satisfied.
Sorry, but I don't have the time
to listen
to some obscure villain reminisce.
Being a superhero
isn't an occupation but a lifestyle.
It was Johnny Bolt's fate to live a life
that would go down
in the annals of history.
Mommy, what's for dinner tonight?
We're having hamburgers.
Yeah! I love hamburgers!
But before that,
we're going to the park, right?
Oh, that's right! Yeah!
A lion cannot go through life
pretending to be a mouse.
Extraordinary people need
extraordinary thrills to feel alive.
"...need extraordinary thrills
to feel alive."
That's totally what a villain is.
This is where the legend
of Electro Boy begins.
If this is some stupid plan,
I'll kick your ass.
Make sure I look good in these photos.
Don't screw around. Focus.
What's this?
Don't tell me you're jealous.
If you've got time to prattle on,
then hurry up
and tell us who the target is.
No. Not yet, sweetheart.
Only after we get this last team member.
You make it sound as if it'll be so easy.
He's here!
I haven't been on a date in ages.
Are you Glenda?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Don't worry about it.
I just got here myself.
I couldn't decide what to wear
and got changed three times.
Doesn't that sound ridiculous
from a 40-year-old man?
It's just that your photo was so charming.
You know, you look a lot better
in a skintight suit.
What do you mean by that?
Sit down.
I think you've got the wrong...
I said sit down, Gladiator.
Sheesh.
I heard all kinds of rumors
when I was in Supermax.
Like about the superhero
with a clean image
who even came out of the closet
as gay and got married
but who cheats on his husband
all the time using dating apps.
You villain scum,
I'll make it so you never talk again.
Now, now. My buddies have
this place surrounded.
You don't want this photo you sent me
released to the world, do you?
You're a superhero who catches crooks.
It turns out you're not such
a straight arrow in private.
That guy's lost his mind, man.
What's more,
he was dating one hunk of a villain.
The tabloids would eat it up.
What do you want?
If you help me with a robbery,
I'll delete everything
and forget all about it.
Why you scum-sucking...
I think this job will actually be
something meaningful to you.
How could working
with scumbags be meaningful?
Don't talk like that
until you hear who the target is.
Far, far across the sea,
there is an American who opened a casino
on an island in the south of Japan.
This fine target is stashing away
piles of money on this island
where neither the Network
nor The Union of Justice can reach him.
- The Bastard?
- The Bastard?
The Bastard's in Japan?
Praetorian too. You know him, right?
Weren't you two close friends?
Johnny, this is just way too nuts.
How about it? Still not interested?
Continue.
Christopher Matts, aka The Bastard,
the former top villain of the Network,
has apparently retired
and is living the easy life
painting pictures on that tropical island.
Besides painting, Matts also opened
the Casino Grand Granite.
Granite...
Word is that this island is made of
one enormous block of solid granite.
Matts liked that
and decided to move there.
This is way too reckless. I'm out.
Wait!
This might...
this just might work.
Stealing from the top villain in a country
with zero superheroes or villains...
Are you fucking kidding me?
I told you, I didn't do a goddamn thing!
However...
Keep your paws off of me!
The only things in our way
are two supervillains.
You got a problem, you old geezer?
If we can just sneak in, this could work.
Praetorian.
Out of the way!
Haven't seen this in a while.
- What are you doing?
- Hey! Let me go!
What? Wait a sec...
That Praetorian sullied
the superhero image.
This is a rare chance
to teach him a lesson.
We'll donate your share of the haul
to the LGBTQ charity of your choice.
How about it? Good deal?
You'll delete all the images, right?
Of course.
The final member has joined the crew.
How was it?
I came to a great realization.
That is magnificent.
Death is only a means, not an end.
Why is it
that we are able to sense beauty?
"Beauty," you say?
High Priest, you are my teacher
who guides me in my meditation.
However, when I step outside this place,
I could kill you
without even lifting a finger.
Try thinking about that.
It will change your view of the world.
But don't you worry.
I've decided to never use
my superpower again.
However, when I decide
to take someone's life,
the most important thing is
to cause fear in them.
When we experience fear,
that is when beauty first arises.
I should be able to paint
something quite nice tonight.
There's only one airport on the island.
Matts has boosted security there.
Let's use Kasey there like before.
No. It's way too risky.
There'll be nine of us,
I've never been there
and I can't prep ahead of time.
I could never hide all of us.
How many could you hide?
Maybe one or two.
What are you doing? Hurry up!
Hey! Wait up!
Make sure you have all your belongings.
Watch your step.
Bye.
See you later.
Are we there?
What about us?
The rest will come
by ferry from Kagoshima.
There must be security at the port.
You won't use the port.
I never thought
I'd jump off a ferry at my age.
You can end all this, Forecast.
Sure thing.
Where's Gladiator?
He hates boats.
He'll be here soon.
What? How will he get here?
Aw, jeez...
Whoa!
He's lost his marbles.
Ninety minutes?
I can still shave time off that.
Where's the hot spring?
Kasey, why the costume?
No way I'm letting you see me naked.
I'm the only one
who can see my sweetheart naked.
Don't act like my boyfriend.
It's just a pain to do it for you too.
What?
That one time, it wasn't like
we had a grudge against you.
Yeah. It's just that McCabe was...
Don't talk to me!
The only reason I'm here
is to beat the crap out of Praetorian.
Okay...
Josh, you're quieter than usual.
Any proper villain wouldn't even think
of trying to steal from The Bastard.
I've got the perfect plan.
Don't you worry about it, Ghost.
Then it's about time
you told us that plan, Johnny.
Yeah.
First, we'll enter Matts's estate
right through the front door.
I look pretty good in a suit.
