Gotham 99 Season 1 Ep2 Part 2
We come to that stakeout on the planted police car. Vrak was across the street in Moxxie's Minivan, then arriving and entering was Uzi in cargo shorts, a blue jacket shirt, a cap and drone made sandals.
"You left without me." Uzi said to Vrak in disbelief.
"You were late again." Vrak told her.
"Well, I had to put on my undercover minivan disguise." Uzi said then proudly explained "Say hello to Barbera Norgenbloom, CPA, recently divorced mother of two with a dark sexual secret. What's your cover?"
Vrak unamused told her "Angry captain."
"Okay, so you do not like my ensemble." Uzi said with a nod.
"I'm just concerned that you may find it hard to pursue a criminal on foot while wearing drone sandals." Vrak points out.
"But the sandals define Barbera. She's a sandals girl." Uzi explained to him, she then sighs and asks "Captain, why the babysitting? Why are you micromanaging me?"
"You think I wanna be sitting here with you instead of running my precinct?" Vrak asked her.
"Yes." Uzi said as a guess.
"It was a rhetorical question." Vrak told them and Uzi nods as she walks into that. He then explains "I've spent the last 12 years fighting for my first command, and I'm not gonna let you screw it up because you refuse to take your job seriously."
"Hey, I do take my job seriously. I put away bad guys. That's what matters." Uzi told him.
"Well, so does doing your paperwork, showing up on time, wearing proper footwear." Vrak counters with.
"That's on Barbera. That's not me." Uzi said under her breath.
"Well, so here's the deal. You're gonna have a superior officer babysitting you on every one of your cases. And when you show me that you can do your job... Every part of your job... Perfectly, then I'll back off." Vrak told her firmly
"Okay. Counteroffer. I give you 50 credits, and you let me do whatever I want." Uzi offered and Vrak gives an unamused serious look indicating that offer was denied so she said "Fine. We'll do it your way. From this point on, I'll do every part of the job perfectly, perfecter than perfectly."
"It's "more perfectly." You said that imperfectly." Vrak told her.
"I was testing you. You did perfectly." Uzi said with a smile then notices something in the side view mirror on the drivers side and said "Quick update on the tagger situation... He is currently spray-painting our van right now." Indeed there was a hand with a spraycan painting the side of the van.
"Police, freeze!" Vrak said as he and Uzi quickly get out.
The tagger, a teenager wearing a yellow zipp up hoodie, blud baggy jeans and red shoes quickly takes off running as the two cops pursue them.
Uzi tries chase but the sandals made it hard, she even ends up losing one. "Ow, ow, ow. Sandal down. Lost a sandal."
Vrak chases the Tagger down and dead-end alley and yells out holding out his badge "GCPD, freeze!" The Tagger turn to reveal he is a teenage with three long strands of hair on his head.
Uzi hopes on over giving his sandal-less foot raised and said showing her badge "I'm here. You're busted."
"Already got him." Vrak tells Uzi.
"We got him" Uzi said smiling
We come back to the precinct where Uzi was busy filling out the care report for their tagger who was sat annoyed and board next to her desk.
Uzi sees Vrak apporch and goes to him and said "Oh, hey, Captain. Hi, so I was able to procure that 50 credits after all, and my offer still stands. Let me do whatever I want, and the 40 credits... That's how much I actually have... is yours." Vrak just sips his coffee "No? Fair enough. I only had 30 anyways. Well, I guess in order to get you to stop micromanaging me, I'm gonna have to get back to the most important piece of police work there is: Writing a perfect report"
"Good, I'm anxious to read it." Vrak said to her nodding.
"And I'm anxious to restore my status as a lone wolf." Uzi said smiling and howls loudly.
Vrak looked at her blankly and asked "Anything else, Detective?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna do one more." Uzi said excited and howls some more "Lone wolf." Vrak just heads to his office, she then said to N "He's digging me" N clicks his tongue and smiles at Uzi for that. She then approaches Moxxie who was at his own desk and asked "Hey, Sarge, do you know where we keep the glitter? Just wanna make sure this report for the Captain is extra sparkly."
"What are you doing, Doorman?" Moxxie asked her.
"Look, if I have to do things his way, I'm gonna do them my way." Uzi explained to him.
"Okay, then. It was nice working with you." Moxxie said with a laugh.
"I'm not scared of him, okay? I'm not scared of anyone." Uzi said, then nervously said "Oh, also, The Tagger drew a wiener on your minivan. I'm sorry. Please don't chase after me." She then quickly run back to her desk.
Moxxie in shock stands up and said "What? There's a wiener on my minivan?"
Kane Street Apartment, 3:15 PM
We come to J, N and Vaggie searching the drug dealers apartment for the missing drugs with several other officers.
"High ceilings, three bedrooms. Why does every perp have a nicer place than I do?" J said a bit annoyed,
"You know what they don't teach you at the academy? It's better to be a criminal." Vaggie points out.
"Oh no." N said in worry looking at the kitchen of the apartment. "The cabinets are blue."
"Tacky. Not a deal breaker, though. I'd just repaint it." J said and goes into the bathroom.
N follows her and explains worried "The psychic predicted the drugs would be found in something blue."
We see Hiro in the flashback as he said in slow motion "I see the color blue."
"He also made this really depressing prediction about my life." N added.
We flash back to Hiro again as he also says in slow motion "She will never love you back."
"And if he's right about where we find the drugs, that means he's right about the other thing." N said with major concern.
"Uh-huh, kitchen." J tells him and N in despair heads to the kitchen. She uses a knife to open up a baseboard behind a green hamper and sees some hidden drugs and said loud for the others to hear "Whoa. Jackpot. There's way more than 12 keys in here."
"Where was it?" Vaggie asked coming over excited.
"Baseboard, behind the hamper." J told her smiling.
"What color was the hamper?" N asked coming over concerned.
"Green" J told him.
"Yes. The clothes hamper was green. The clothes hamper was green!" N cheered in celebration much to J and Vaggie's confusion "Drinks on me." He walks off.
"You're weird." Vaggie said with a amused laugh.
We come back to the 99 precinct with Uzi as she continue to work on the report.
"Sorry, this is taking so long. Still writing up my report. Pretty detailed." Uzi said to the Tagger as she types on her computer, then called out "Hey, Lizzy, can you look up what the humidity was about an hour ago and also what moon cycle we're in?"
"No, sorry. Don't feel like it, no." Lizzy said while looking at her phone.
"Thanks, Lizzy." Uzi said and then turns to the Tagger "And now to you. What's your name?"
"My name is Banana Fartman, MD." The Tagger said with a smirk.
"I don't believe you. Come on, man. Just tell me who you are. I need to fill this thing out perfectly, so my boss will get off my back. Are you a minor? How old are you?" Uzi said to him
"I'm 610. I'm a highlander." The Tagger said grinning.
"Okay, you know what? I'm gonna put that in there. And then you're gonna be tried as an adult highlander. And they're gonna cut your head off. Is that what you want?" Uzi told him.
We then come to N approaching Lizzy's desk and said to her smiling proud "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your psychic friend's predictions about the drug case were wrong, which means all of his predictions are wrong."
"Mm-mm. No way. He's never wrong." Lizzy told him.
"We found the cocaine behind a green hamper. Never said green or the letter "H."" N told her.
"Mm-hmm, he said "blue" and "yellow," N. I don't know if there's any kindergarteners present, but those two colors combined make green." Lizzy explained to her and also adds "He also mentioned the letters "L" and "B," and another name for a hamper is..."
"Lady bin?" N guessed thinking but his eyes widen in realization as he said in despair "Laundry basket."
"Oh, little boo-boo. Can you go be depressed over there? You're bumming out my whole area." Lizzy tells him.
We then come to Moxxie on the phone on his desk calling his wife as he said "Millie, darling, I've got some bad news. Someone painted a giant wiener on our minivan." He listens to what his wife says and responds "No, you cannot have an SUV now. Those things roll. They roll!"
We come back to Uzi as he finds something in the police database "Hey, look at this. Your prints were on file." She said to the tagger and pulls up his file saying "Nice to meet you, Eddy Schnee. Oh, Schnee, just like Deputy Police Commissioner Jacquee Schnee." He smile fades as it dawns on her as she asks "Your father is Deputy Police Commissioner Jacquee Schnee."
"I'm not sure how things work here, but does that mean that your career is in my hands?" Eddy asked with a smirk.
"Okay, you know what?" Uzi said smiling for a bit before saying "Yes."
We then come to Lizzy, J, Vaggie and N in the evidence room logging and measuring the drugs.
"20.2 kilos. I feel like we could round up to 21." J said with a proud smile.
"Or we could round down to 20, take the extra 0.2, sell it to our friends." Lizzy said with a smile and the three look at her in silence as she giggles.
"I'll call the D.A. Vaggie, you log this in. N, maybe watch Lizzy." J instructs as she leaves the room while Lizzy laughs quietly.
"So, what are you doing tonight?" Vaggie asked N as she works logging in the drugs.
"Nothing. What about you... are doing tonight?" N asked her
"Nothing." Vaggie told him
N gets a bit excited but then sees Lizzy holding up Hiro's buisness card and then say in a whisper "Hiro."
"Whelp, I hope you find something to do." N said and chuckles nervously "I'm going to clean my parts. That's what I'm doing tonight. No." He leaves the room much to Vaggie's confusion.
We then come to Uzi in Vrak's office telling him about the problem that has come up with the Tagger case. Which was that Eddy was Deputy Commissioner Jacquee's son.
"Deputy Commissioner's son, huh? His decision to target cop cars makes a lot more sense now." Vrak said thinking on it.
"We gotta let him walk, right?" Uzi said with a smile.
"He defaced nine police vehicles, and you caught him red-handed. Why would you let him walk?" Vrak asked her.
"Captain, I did all the work on this perfectly." Uzi said chuckling briefly and pulls out her report "I mean, my report has over 25 pages of meticulous research, diagrams, and maps. I even put an "About the Author" section on the back." She flips the report to reveal a dramatic photo of herself on the back "I did everything you asked me to do. But this is above my pay grade. You gotta make the call."
"You're the arresting office. It's your call. I told you to do every part of your job, and making this call is part of your job." Vrak told her.
"Yeah, but you think I should process him." Uzi said to him.
"Mm-hmm." Vrak said with a nod.
"Well, if I do, the Deputy Commissioner could ruin my career, and I'll end up on the streets selling my beautiful body for a can of batteries." Uzi explained.
"Mm-hmm" Vrak said again with another nod.
"Has anyone ever told you you look exactly like a statue?" Uzi asked him.
Vrak remains silent for a while before saying "Yes."
Well the stakes are raising, Uzi has to pick between doing her job against ending her career, what will she pick, find out soon.
Please Read, Review and Suggest. Thank you.
