Gotham 99 Season 1 Ep3 Part 1
The Slump
We come to in the 99 Precinct where J, Uzi, N and Vaggie were sitting by Uzi's desk talking.
"For the last time, the best cop like feature, in order: The Question, Eclipse Cannon and Raincode. End of discussion."
"Wrong." Uzi said shaking her head "The Anime Cyberpunk Corpo is the best cop feature of all time. One cop heroically saving the day while everyone else stands around and watches. It's the story of my life."
"I like Trainer & Mightyena. Looker, reluctant friendship with a wolf Pokemon." N said and geatures to his heart "That hits me where I live."
"No. Judge Dredd. It's got everything like-gratuitous violence." Vaggie said and then stays quiet after that.
"Oh, I thought you were listing things." Uzi said realizing why she stopped
"I was. I'm done." Vaggie told her.
"Okay." Uzi said nodding.
"Let's talk Devil Cops." Lizzy said walking up to join the conversation "That's the perfect cop movie. Hellboy, lookin' fine. A hot cup of Verosika. Come on."
Moxxie rolls up in his chair and said "Spider-Noir's Darkness. What? I like classic black and white films."
"Mm-kay." Uzi said then begins to work on her computer as she said "There is a correct answer to this question, though. So gather around for the greatest cop film of all time. Please refrain from texting during our presentation." She hits play just as Tucker walks up and a video pops up from a dashcam, it shows Tucker apporching some working girls "All right, so there's Tucker. And there's an old hooker." The hooker kicks him between the legs and despite wearing armour still hurt him "There it is!" She and the others except Tucker laugh.
"Come on, guys, that happened four years ago." Tucker said annoyed.
"Shh, this is the best part." Uzi said as the video keeps playing as the old hooker returns "She comes back, takes the wallet and here she goes!" Indeed the hooker takes Tucker's wallet before kicking him again and everyone groans amused while Tucker shakes his head.
Morning Briefing, 7:58 AM
The cops were waiting for updates on ongoing cases and any new info. Uzi walks in and sees N wearing a very nice and fancy sweater.
"Hey, love the sweater. Who you slayin' tonight, lady bot killer?" Uzi asked smiling as she sits down in a seat.
"Well, we shall see what we shall see." N said proudly.
"No, you're dressed exactly like The Lady Bot Killer." Uzi said and points to a wanted poster of a robot wearing a similar sweater to the one N was wearing.
"Damn it!" N said annoyed at this "This is Enoshima's hairpins all over again." He goes to his seat.
Moxxie moves up to the podium and said "All right, let's get started. Griff. Where are you on digitizing the old case files?"
"As of yesterday, I'm officially 1% done." Griff said and gives a double thumbs up.
"I can tell you're smiling under your helmet, why are you smiling? That's nothing." Moxxie said shaking his head.
"There's thousands of cases, and for each one, I have to fill out 200 little box thingies on 50 different screens." Griff explains on why he only achieved 1% of the digitizing old case files.
"At least you get to sit on your butt all day." Vaggie tells him.
"That's actually the worst part. My doctor said I have an anal canyon." Griff admits rubbing his head that makes most of the people in the room to groan in disgust.
"Ugh, god, Scully. Why are you always telling us about your disgusting body?" Uzi asked him
We flashback to some time before in the kitchen area where Uzi was eating an energon sandwich as Griff has his bootless foot on the table, the bottom was all orange.
"I don't see anything." Uzi said confused.
"That's because it's all wart." Griff told her.
This causes Uzi to actually wretch spitting out the bite of the sandwich out and walks away quickly.
We come back to the present and Uzi asked to Griff "How are you married?"
Vrak decided to move on and asked "Doorman, where are we on the Rupert Street burglary?"
"We are very close, Captain. Aside from a complete absence of evidence, suspects, or leads." Uzi said with a smile finishing with "So, in conclusion, not at all close."
"And the Crest Hill aggravated assault?" Vrak asked her.
"Stalled out, and the Bristol robbery also remains unsolved. Due to a lack of solving it by me" Uzi tells him.
"Sounds like someone's in a little bit of a slump." Lizzy said turning to look at Uzi.
"I'm not in a slump." Uzi said defiantly.
"You're not?" J said and points to the corner of the board where the score was which now read 'Uzi: 35 J: 44' "Scoreboard"
"I don't slump, people. I opposite slump. I p-muls. That's "slump" backwards, and it's what I do. I p-muls all over this junk." Uzi said still denying it.
"Dismissed." Moxxie tells everyone and everyone begins to head back to work.
"Slump." J taunts Uzi.
"P-muls!" Uzi said back.
We cut to a bit later where Vrak approaches Uzi at her desk which was a mess.
Uzi looks at Vrak and said holding her hand out to stop him "Wait...Before you say anything, I want to guess what happened, based on your face. Someone died. No! You won a prize! I'm not getting better at this."
"I'm concerned that the open cases mound of garbage on your desk has become so much higher than the closed cases mound of garbage." Vrak told her.
"All right, sir. Let me hit you with a little analogy. Are you familiar with racecars?" Uzi asked him
"F-Zero or Forza?" Vrak asked.
"That's already way more than I know about it. The point is, I'm a super-awesome race car who's hit a couple of unlucky speed bumps." Uzi tells him.
"You got speed bumps on a race track?" Vrak asked curious.
"Is that not part of car racing? It should be. All I'm saying is, it's open road again. I'm about to close a case." Uzi said and hands Vrak a case file and explained "Missing Grandpa Mike Graves. Last Sunday, his granddaughter Renee reported he went out for bagels and never came back. This morning, we picked up an old man matching his description exactly. I showed him pictures of Renee, and he said, and I quote," She the said inmidating an old man "'That's my granddaughter.'"
"What did I say about doing voices?" Vrak said to her.
"I'm a storyteller, sir. It's my craft." Uzi tells him taking back the report. "Anyways, granddaughter's coming in. They reunite, and I throw another case on the old "Solved it" pile." She puts the file on a stack of other files and it falls off his desk. "Hey my Energon croissant." She picks it up from under a stack of papers and bangs it on her desk showing it was rock solid but eats it anyway.
We come to a bit later with Vrak in his office working, J them comes in having been asked to come see the Captain.
"You wanted to see me, Captain?" J asked.
"Yes, the D. A. wanted me to personally thank you for your work on the Kane Street drug bust." Vrak tells her.
"That's why we do this, sir." J said proudly.
"For praise?" Vrak asked her.
"Uh…" J said to that.
"There's a community outreach program that's very important to me. I was wondering if you'd like to head it up." Vrak said and hands her a file with the details.
J smiles happily and takes the file and said excited "Absolutely, sir. I won't just head it up, I will head and shoulders it up. I will dive in, swim around it, and just be altogether good with it." She stops herself as she realize she wasn't making much sense.
"Be more articulate when you speak to the children." Vrak tells her.
"Yes, sir, I will make better mouth." J said and then awkwardly leaves the office.
We then come to N apporching Moxxie at his desk and asked "Hey, Sarge, I need someone to fill out a lineup. Will you be Scary Moxxie?"
"Oh, I love being Scary Moxxie. He says what regular Moxxie's thinking." Moxxie said with a smile.
We briefly flashback to last time Moxxie was Scary Moxxie in a lineup with 4 suspects.
"This is takin' too long! I'm gonna miss the farmer's market!" Moxxie yells out in character.
We come back to the present where Moxxie said "But I'm too busy. I've got a special case I'm working on." He looks around then said "Uh, Tucker, N needs you to fill out a lineup."
"Oh, great. I'll take my armour shirt off." Tucker said dropping what he was doing and proceeds to remove his top.
"No one asked you to take your shirt off. Stop volunteering to take your shirt off." N asked as this was something Tucker likes to do at certain moments.
"I can't hear you! Shirt's over my ears." Tucker said his helmeted head was in his shirt.
We then come to J approaching Vaggie's desk smiling and she said to the angel "Hi, Vaggie. Ooh, I like your boots. They're a really pretty…"
"What do you need?" Vaggie asked knowing J was wanting something.
"…Colour." J said then decides to tell her what she needs "Okay. You know how, every year, the precinct does that junior police program seminar?" Lizzy perks up from her desk overhearing this.
"That thing where we try to get a bunch of loser kids to become student snitches?" Vaggie asked her.
"No, the thing where we try to get at-risk kids…" J explained.
"Losers." Vaggie points out.
"To sign up to become junior police officers." J finishes explaining.
"Snitches. What about it?" Vaggie asked her.
"Captain specifically asked me to run it this year. I signed you up to do it with me. Here's the info." J said proudly and hands her the info packet.
"Now I gotta read something?" Vaggie asked annoyed taking it.
Lizzy soon comes over and said smiling "Greetings. Fine. I guess I can help you with those at-risk kids."
Vaggie scoffs amused at that while J tells Lizzy "I don't need your help. It's nothing personal. It's just... You're not a cop, so I'm not really sure you could help."
"Okay. No hard feelings. But I hate you. Not joking. Bye." Lizzy said said with a smile and walks off.
We come to a while later in the precinct where Uzi, Vrak and N were with a family and an old man in a green jumpsuit.
"Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Graves. I'm glad you're here. May I present to you..." Uzi said and imitates a fanfare while showing the family the old man.
"Oh, my darlings. Thank god I found you. Oh, look at those beautiful cheeks." The old man said happily getting up from his chair.
"I have no idea who this man is." The black-haired woman of the family Renee Graves said, "I've never seen him before in my life."
"What? No, she recognized you. This is Mike." Uzi said surprised.
"Who's Mike?" The old man asked then looks at N and said "Oh! That's my wife Lucy." He goes and hugs N.
"I'm…I'm not really his wife." N tells everyone.
The old man pulls back and said "You're so much shorter than you used to be. What did the Gullovians do to you?"
"Different generation." Uzi said awkwardly.
"Okay, this is Ford Cruller from the Gotham Heights Senior Center. There was an I.D. card in his back pocket." N said showing said ID as the old man keeps hugging him.
"Why was your hand in his back pocket?" Moxxie asked confused about that.
"Well, he told me he didn't have any I.D., and unlike N, my first instinct was not to caress his butt." Uzi explained.
"Frisked! I frisked his butt!" N told them.
"It looks like this case remains unsolved, Doorman." Vrak points out to Uzi.
"Oh bite me robot god…" Uzi said in shock as the realization finally hit her "I'm in a slump!"
Well Uzi is realizing she is in real trouble but how will she fix it? Find out soon.
Please Read, Review and Suggest. Thank you.
