Gotham 99 Season 1 Ep1 Part 3
We then come to the precinct's records room where Uzi was ordered to go work in for her screw up. There with her was Moxxie and J, the latter who was grinning at her rivals' situation.
Uzi scoffs and asks them "Is he seriously assigning me to the records room? I mean, why do we even have a records room? Computer's been invented right? I didn't dream it and that I was a living machine?"
"You're lucky buddy. I wish I could get assigned here full time." Moxxie told her "You could not be farther from the action."
"Sergeant, you know me. I have more arrests than anyone." Uzi tells him. "Will you please tell the captain how dumb it is to lock his best detective in a file cabinet?"
"Second best." J corrected Uzi in her own opinion.
"You're wrong about Vrak." Moxxie added arms folded "That Warstar alien has forgotten more about being a cop that you will ever know as while he looks young thanks to his race aging slowly thanks to their cybernetics they can live for centuries." He then added "He was a detective in 1981 and during that year, he caught the Springbonnie Killer."
We flashback to said year and Vrak was there with an attached era appropriate Mustache. He was walking around the abandoned Freddy Fazbear Pizza restaurant then stops and aims a blaster.
"It's over, Purple Guy!" Vrak said in an authoritative voice "Take off the bunny head and step away from the child."
Indeed, we see William Afton in the Spingbonnie costume holding an axe with a nervous child nearby.
We return to the present and a surprised Uzi said to that "Wow."
"The alien cyborg man is the real deal." Moxxie told her "You need to listen to him." With that he takes his leave.
"Going to be hard to win our bet when you're on the bench, Doorman." J said with a smug grin. "Although I did start a new category. 'Murderers we let go.'" She holds up a paper pad with that one it with the score reading 'Uzi: 1 J: 0' She places it on the desk in front of Uzi and said "And look at that. You're winning. Have fun with your files." She goes to leave.
"Yeah, you know what, bite me as I will have fun with my files. Have fun with your face!" Uzi said annoyed and goes to the gate door and shoves it to slam it close but it bounces off a boxes blocking it from closing so it bounced open again "Slam! That was a slam."
We come back to the Bullpen where Vaggie approaches N who was at his desk and after kicking his desk to get the drones attention, asks him smiling "So what movie did you get us tickets to?"
"Oh, well, just to be save, I bought tickets to all of them." N said showing the printouts of the tickets.
"Just to be safe? What does that mean?" Vaggie asked sounding a bit confused.
"I don't know, I didn't want to mess up because you're sort of…opinionated." N said a little nervous.
"You think I'm opinionated?" Vaggie said getting angry and added "Okay, here's an opinion for you. You're a bad judge of character and your pilots hat looks terrible on you."
N gulps then said "So we can go see Noth by the Second Star."
"We're not seeing a movie together." Vaggie told him flatout.
"Good call. Smart." N said nodding and watched as Vaggie walks away "Keep it profesh."
Lizzy who watched this from her desk gives a smile and thumbs up, N nods and smiles but then Lizzy puts her thumbs down then on her phone plays the wawawawaaaaaa sound and N sighs and nods to that.
We come back to the records room where Vrak enters the room. He sees Uzi working behind a desk and noticed she was wearing a tie a blue and black striped on.
Uzi seeing him says "Hey, Captain."
"So, you found something?" Vrak asked her then mentions "Hey, I like the tie."
"If you can't beat'em, join'em." Uzi said with a shrug "Anyway I think I've got something good here. Turns out the name 'Frank Sahwit' is made up. But I was digging though this files…one of which I litterly found in Spinarack web…and it turns out there were a bunch of references to a Japanese thug, street names 'The Eyes' and 'The Butcher', who's known to hang out at a storage unit near Boerum Park, which has red soil, hence, the muddy red footprint on Hanamura's counter." She drops her pen in celebration
Vrak smiles and said "That's mighty fine work, detective."
"Thank you very much, sir." Uzi said smiling "Testament to what can be achieved when you dress appropriately." She grins and stands up and reveals she was wearing small and cartoony like shorts on her lower half, hardly professional looking and she offers her fist saying "Let's pound it out."
Vrak seeing that processes this then grins as he walks back to the entrance "You know what, such fine police work, let's share it with the whole team." Uzi's LED eyes widen as her joke was backfiring. Vrak called out "J! N! Vaggie! Get in here! Bring everyone! And a camera!"
"That's not necessary." Uzi said nervous as she grabs a file and sees them entering "Oh, they're here!"
"Let's have a hand for the work of the fine master detective, Uzi Doorman." Vrak said as everyone begins to file into the Records Room and upon seeing Uzi in those silly shorts all crack a smile and laugh "Yeah, let's have a hand, everyone. Give him a hand." Everyone applauds her.
"Yeah, nice!" Vaggie said clapping.
"Yeah. Thank you." Uzi said just accepting her fate but clearly embarrassed.
Gotham Self Storage, 10:14 PM
We come to the stakeout on the storage facility. In one car we see Vrak, J and Uzi waiting until the time is right.
"No record of Frank Sahwit on the ledger. Must've used physical credits." J said reviewing the files of the facility.
"Well, I, for one, am just pumped to be on a stakeout with you, Captain." Uzi said smiling as she was in the back seat "You know what my favourite thing about stakeouts is? Patrol guide says 'no dress code.' So I'm just in my regular zipped up hoodie and my two best friends."
"Does she always talk this much?" Vrak asked J.
"I just tune it out. It's like a white noise machine." J tells him.
"Okay, first of all that's a bit racist." Uzi said in regards to the machine part "Secondly, Captain, Moxxie told me you caught the Springbonnie killer. That's incredible. I read that case. With all due respect, sir, why'd it take so long to get your first command?"
"Because I'm into humans." Vrak said simply.
"Ah" Uzi said smiling and chuckling thinking Vrak is joking but when she sees Vrak not laughing as well asked confused "Seriously?"
"I'm surprised you didn't know." Vrak tells her "I don't try to hide it."
Uzi beings to process it and thinks back to the moments of these past two days.
She begins to see the obvious open signs she disregarded before, the first was in the meeting room on the wall a newspaper article titled 'Openly Human-Loving Alien Captain appointed' with a picture of Vrak on it.
The next was when Lizzy asked after their first meeting with Vrak "Does anyone get a little bit of an inter-species with humans vibe?"
The final one was when Vrak said only in this instance in slow-motion "Sleek waxing."
We return to the present where Uzi admits "Bite me! I am not a good detective."
We then come to another car on the stakeout where Vaggie and N were. Vaggie hands a wad of credits to N and said "Here. I feel bad you spent all that money on the movie tickets."
"Why don't you just go to the movies with me?" N said to her,
"Nope." Vaggie said matter of factly.
N sighs and takes the money and said "Okay. Well, this is awkward."
"It's not awkward." Vaggie tells him "I like your company. You're sweet." N hearing that smiles.
We return to Vrak, J, and Uzi where J asked the captain "When did you come one?"
"It was about 25 years ago, so a couple of years after I first came to Earth." Vrak said thinking on it "The GCPD was not ready for an openly human loving non-human detective. But then the old guard died out. Suddenly, they couldn't wait to show off the fact that they had a highly ranking officer who loves the humans of this planet in that way. I made Captain."
Vrak continues his story saying "But they put me in a public affairs unit. I was a good soldier. I helped recruitment. But all I ever really wanted was my own command same way I wanted to prove myself worthy to my father I was worthy of taking his throne. And now I finally got it. And I'm not going to screw it up."
"Captain, I'm sorry. I…I feel like a complete jerkbot." Uzi said feeling bad for actually giving Vrak a hard time. She sighs and looks out the front window "But on the flipside, there's Frank." Indeed they see the criminal enter the storage facility "Humility over. I'm amazing!"
The three get out of the car and put on bullet proof vests as they head into the facility guns drawn and touches lit. They see no sign of Frank and all the doors to the storage lockers looked the same.
"Fantastic. 3,000 identical blue doors." Uzi said in a loud whisper.
"Looks like we're all got door duty." Vrak said with a smile.
"Ah, yeah. From before. Good one" Uzi said with a smile then said to J. "You look great." J rolls her eyes.
Uzi and Vrak cover each other as they check the left and right halls and Vrak said "Clear." Uzi heads down the left path herself while J and Vrak head down together covering each other as they check the corners. "Clear." Vrak said and turns to face the direction J was to see there was someone their.
It was a member of the facility cleaning staff who noticed them. J motions for the staff member to move to the side a bit but the staff member motions them to go around. J indicates she is of the police pointing at her badge and the GCPD logo on the vest but the staff member points to the maintenance title on the back of their uniform.
"Okay." J sighs as Vrak motions them to keep moving and then go to walk past the cleaner and J angrily whisper yells at them "Unbelievable! Un-belivable!"
Back with Uzi she notices one of the storage lockers was missing it's lock so she opens it up and comes face to face with Frank who was aiming a gun right at her. "Ah, Frank great to see you." Uzi said as she stands their while Frank moves out the storage and backwards to slowly make his escape while keeping the gun trained on Uzi.
"You can't stop me." Frank tells her "I'm going."
"Actually, you're not going anywhere." Uzi tells Frank as she walks forward to keep the distance closed on Frank till they made it to the four way intersection "Because if you take a look to your left, you'll see Detectives N and Vaggie." Indeed N and Vaggie were on the left path guns pointed at Frank. Uzi points to the right and said "Right there is Detective J." J nods to Frank from the right path "And right behind you is Captain Vrak." Frank looks behind him to see Vrak appear with his gun. Uzi smiles and said "Point it…my team has you surrounded. Oh my robot god, I just got the tie thing!" She smiles looking at Vrak "Captain, I just figured it out."
"Maybe now's not the best time, Detective." Vrak tells Uzi.
"It's a uniform!" Uzi said smiling happily "We're a team, and the tie is a part of that team's uniform, right?"
"You ask me what team?" Frank asked confused.
"No Frank, shut up." Uzi said then looks to Vrak "It's important to you because you were kept off the team for so long. And now you're the couch, and you want us to all wear that same uniform. Boom! Nailed it!" J smiles at that.
"Yes, you did. Now just arrest Frank Sahwit." Vrak tells Uzi.
"All right, Frank, down. Drop weapon." Uzi said pointing her gun at Frank who slowly lowers his gun to the floor. "Hands on your head. Here we go." Frank immediately bolts down the side J was "He's running!"
J gets out a baton and whacks Frank in the leg tripping him making him fall.
"Got him!" N said getting down to restrain Frank. "Stay down!"
"Hands behind your back! Hands behind your back!" Vaggie tells Frank.
Uzi stands by Vrak and tells him smiling while they both put their guns away. "That's how we do it in the Nine-Nine, sir. Catch bad guys and looks good doing it"
Vrak notices Uzi looking uncomfortable and asked "What's wrong with you?"
"Never took off those shorts. Big mistake." Uzi admits "It is inside my leg joints. Great work, team!" She then proceeds to leave
Vrak smiles and chuckles as he shakes his head, squad may not be exactly as he envisioned but he knows it will never be boring.
Well that was a good opener, we will get to see more when Episode 2 comes
