01x08 - Ultra Violet Unmasked

[bunniefuu]

Qué pasa, Ultra Maniacs?

It's your girl, Ultra Violet,

and I just wanted to give
a shoutout to @UltraStan.

Thanks to your tip, we finally caught
the Pawn Shop Prowler.

No! [grunting] No, no!

Black Scorpion,
it's time to say hi to my fans!

[yelling]

BLACK SCORPION:
Stay.

What are you doing?
Turn that off!

Gotta run. Remember, my crime
hotline is always open.

- Be sure to like--
- Livestreaming again?

What is it going to take
for you to realize

that this is going
to get you into trouble?

Actually getting into trouble?

Relax!
My livestream is good for us.

Yeah, I started doing
it for attention,

but now its evolved
into an online,

- crime-fighting community!
- And you're compromising

our location by livestreaming
to these fans.

Besides...

you know what's better than
getting things done quickly?

Getting things done safely.

Without safety...
there is chaos.

And in chaos, lies corruption.

Are you monologuing again?

Yes.

Listen... you have
nothing to worry about.

My fans give us tips,

and I give them
what they really want...

shoutouts from Ultra Violet.

I thought this was
about the "community."

Yeah, that too.

But you can't spell
"community" without an "I."

Think about it.

Anyway, gotta go meet
Evita at the movies. Bye!

Gah, she's right.

- [zaps]
- ULTRA VIOLET: Oops.

I... am... awesome.

- [camera clicks]
- [gasps]

[zaps]

I think I'm in
ultra big trouble.

[theme song plays]

[grunting]

[camera clicks]

[bell rings]

So, you have no idea
who took the photo?

No! Black Scorpion's gonna flip
if he finds out someone has

a photo of me
taking off my mask.

I need to find out whoever took
the photo and destroy it, stat!

- That may be impossible.
- Attention, everyone! Attention!

Tomorrow morning,
on the front page

of the "Dolores Daily"

will be a photo
of Ultra Violet...

unmasked!

[excited chatter]

Hey!

We found the guy...
That was easy!

I used my exemplary
journalistic skills

to dissect Ultra Violet's
livestream,

track down her precise location,

and snap a photo
of her face as it was unveiled!

This masked threat
won't take justice

into her own hands any longer.

I love Ultra Violet!
Tell us, Luis, who is she?

The image is still going through
some final photo editing,

so Ultra Violet's face
is absolutely clear.

By tomorrow, the whole world will know
the mystery behind that mask.

Ah.

[bell rings]

[sighs]
Luis Leon is the worst!

[gasps]
He must know I'm Ultra Violet!

Ah! Why did I put my real name
in my superhero name?

I guess
Black Scorpion was right.

Your livestream did
get you into trouble.

Oh, and we can
assign blame later.

First, we need
to destroy Luis's photo

before it gets published
and anyone else finds out.

Let's do it!

How are we going to do it?

♪ ♪

- CRUZ: How's that?
- Catalina's gonna love 'em.

Just roll the dough
a bit thicker.

And use less filling.

And go gentle with the fork.

No, don't mangle it
with your gigantic beefy hands.

You know what?
I'll do it, I'll do it.

- Gentle.
- Ohh, empanadas!

- The dough looks a little thin.
- I know.

Okay, stop being so critical.

He's got a big date tonight
and I'm helping him make dinner.

Oh! Big date, huh?
Must be a special lady.

I remember my first date
with your sister like it was yesterday.

- Dad, stop.
- Please, don't.

It was so romantic.
A night under the stars.

Just two kids,
falling in love...

- At the Observatory.
- ...at the Pier.

Our first date was at the Pier.

No, that was our second date.

Our first date was March 23rd

at the Observatory.

- Yes, it was March 23rd...
- Uh-huh.

- ...at the Pier.
- Qué?

[Nina speaks Spanish]

Claro que no!
But it was at the Pier!

You're getting old.
I don't remember that.

- JUAN CARLOS: We're the same age!
- NINA: What?!

Good luck on your date.
I hope one day you end up just like 'em.

[nervous chuckle]

♪ ♪

Looks like no one's home.

I'll super speed in,
delete the photo,

and be out before
anyone notices.

I don't know. Seems risky.
What if we get caught?

Am I psychic?

Maya... Violet...
Why are you at my house?

Wow! This is your house?

We had no idea!

We were just takin'
a nature hike down this...

- ...suburban block--
- When I had to use the bathroom!

And we figured this place
must have a great bathroom.

With... maybe a heated seat?

You figured correctly.
Come in.

I know why you're really here.

You wanna use my VR headset.

- You have a VR headset?
- Yep!

You caught us.
We wanted to use your VR headset

that we definitely,
definitely knew about.

I do wanna try out
the multiplayer mode.

My photo is still rendering,

so I suppose
I can spare the time.

The... Ultra Violet photo?
How unmasked is she, exactly?

Completely unmasked.

But the photo's blurry,
so I don't know who she is yet.

[both exhale]

But I've installed an AI program
that is reconstructing her face,

pixel by pixel.

When it's finished, the face
behind Ultra Violet will be ultra visible.

Wow... You really took
us on a journey there.

Thank you.
Now, take off your shoes.

I just had the floors mopped, and I don't
wanna ruin the scent of lavender.

Be right there!

I need you to distract Luis

while I use my mask
to delete the photo.

I love you, Violet,
but that's a terrible idea.

Your mask makes you fast,
not invisible.

But, maybe I'm so fast
I'm almost invisible?

No, you're right.

It's fine. I'll disrupt Luis's AI program
while you go distract him.

Luis! Where's your bathroom?

Uh, use my room.

It's the en suite attached
to the primary bedroom upstairs.

He gets the biggest
room in his house?

And a VR headset?

- His parents must be so cool.
- Focus!

You need to get to that photo
before it finishes rendering.

Uh, do you two
like charcuterie?

Wait, have you even
heard of charcuterie?

- And before Luis drives me insane.
- Uh-huh.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

- Luis, that is some TV.
- Ugh.

I told my dad
the 75-inch was too small,

but he never listens.

Were you about to have dinner?

Yes, I've just about perfected

my melted gruyère
on toasted brioche.

You made a grilled cheese?

[scoffs]
Sure, if you wanna sound like a pleb.

Do you have all
your meals alone?

What's with all the questions?

I-I'm the journalist here

and you don't see me asking
you a bunch of questions.

I bet there's something
Violet Rodriguez is hiding.

Violet Rodriguez
isn't hiding anything!

Violet Rodriguez
is an open book.

Violet Rodriguez
is gonna shut up now.

[loud bonk]

What was that?

Woo!

It is hot in here!
Can I get a glass of water?

My digital thermostat keeps it
at a consistent 74 in here,

so it's not hot...
but would you like still or sparkling?

Uh... still?

[scoffs]
You would.

Hey! Is that an El Gigante
limited-edition glass?

I-I met him at
Lucha Royale this year.

You met El Gigante?
I love him!

I was supposed to go
to Lucha Royale,

but then my parents had another
"important work emergency"

and we couldn't go.

Uh, that's why they
got me this glass.

I wish you told me.
You could've come with my family.

Really?! People don't usually
invite me anywhere.

It's on account of my
prodigious intelligence.

The average person
can't handle it.

Right. Anyway...
Any El Gigante fan is a friend of mine.

Técnicos for life!

I don't touch hands.
Too many germs.

But do you wanna watch
a video compilation

of El Gigante's best moves
in virtual reality?

We can do that?!

[turns TV off]

Hey, I wanna see how
the remodel came out!

They had wainscoting!

I found it! Proof I was right.

[imitating trumpet]

Look at the inscription!

March 23rd, Santa Monica Pier.

You were right.

The Pier was our first date!

Wow, Dad. Sideburns much?

I was in an Elvis cover band.

It was five guys,
singing his greatest hits,

all at different
stages of his life.

I was obviously the heartthrob.

- [impersonating Elvis]
- [laughing]

They drew my eyes so huge.

No wonder I blocked it out.

My eyes are not
this large, right?

Now that you mention it.

There's nothing
wrong with big eyes.

I'm sorry I doubted
you, mi amor.

Wait, if Dad was right,

who did Mom go
to the Observatory with?

♪ ♪

[gasps]
Juan Cristo! The other Juan!

Wait. Mom, you went out
with two guys named Juan?

Baller!

I was young.
It was a confusing time.

And apparently, you're still confusing me
with the other Juan!

- Mm-mm.
- I wanna be the one Juan!

The one-and-only Juan.
The Juan who won.

- I need a moment alone.
- No!

[sighs]

You are no help.

- I-- Ah-- C-- Ma-Mamita--
- Zip it!

- Juanito? [speaks Spanish]
- [TV plays]

Ooh, it's so nice up here.

I expected more pigeon poop.

- Oh, I power-washed it.
- Oh.

Power-washing and empanadas?

How romantic.

Well, Nina actually
helped with the food part,

but the power-washing...
that was all me.

Speaking of Nina,

she mentioned you used
to be a bit of a flake.

I kinda wasn't sure if
that would happen tonight.

Trust me. Catalina,
there's no place I'd rather be

than with you...
right here, right now.

So, uh, tell me about your day.

Did Coach Park send another
kid to your office in tears?

Not one, but two kids.

- I think this might be a new record.
- [phone buzzing]

And then I spent
my lunch break with Luis Leon

hearing all about
his big exposé,

and whether he'd win a Pulitzer,

- or have to settle for a Peabody.
- [phone buzzing]

And then I went
on a date with a guy

who wouldn't stop
lookin' at his phone.

Sorry. It's, uh, Nina.

Apparently, I forgot the dessert,
so, be, be right back.

- But--
- One sec!

[tense music playing]

- VIOLET/
- LUIS [chanting]:
El Gigante! El Gigante!

El Gigante! Woo!

That was so cool!

I for real thought El Gigante
was gonna leg drop me.

It was almost like being
at a lucha match in person.

Yeah, but going
in person is even better.

Next time you go
with your family,

I'll consider gracing you
with my presence.

[chuckles]
Ya know, Luis you're actually pretty cool.

I am?

I mean, of course I am.

And you're tolerable...
in your own way.

In fact, you're the first person

from school who's
ever come to my house.

Really?

But this place is so cool.

You should invite people over.

Honestly, until I started
covering Ultra Violet for the paper...

I've never felt like
I was a part of something.

Is that why you wanna
unmask Ultra Violet so bad?

So, people will
hang out with you?

Well, she shut down my blog.

What can I say? I'm a petty boy.

And, hey, where's Maya?

She just needs a moment.
Let's watch another match.

Mm-hm.

Come on, come on!

- [laughing]
- Yes! Look at us,

cleaning out another bank!

- We're unstoppable, bro!
- I know!

You were saying... bro?

- Black Scorpion!
- Mm.

[grunting]

[intense music playing]

I-I surrender! I surrender!

About time.
You're ruining my date!

Yes! Crush him!
Have you heard of Payaso?

Maybe we can watch
one of his matches next.

Semicolon, bracket, comma.
There... that should do it.

There you are.

Right outside your door!

Why are you talking so loud?

[toilet flushes]

Oh, hi guys!

- You were in there a long time.

Yeah, that's me. Ask Violet.

Half of our friendship,
I'm in the bathroom.

And on that disgusting note...
we better go.

You might want
to light a candle.

No Ultra Violet?

I don't see anything.

STUDENT 3:
Are you serious?

STUDENT 4:
I don't see anything.

Hey, Gracie,
how's the paper today?

A total letdown.

There's nothing on Ultra Violet.
Nothing!

Oh no.

That's too bad.

Luis, where's your big story?

You promised
to unmask Ultra Violet!

My software glitched
and ruined the picture.

Did you even have
a photo of her?

- Or were you just making it up?
- I-I swear I had it!

If you say so.

Don't worry.
Your next article will k*ll.

Luis Leon just posted

that he's got an exclusive interview
tonight with Ultra Violet.

- Please tell me it's not true.
- I had to do something.

You shouldn't get
so close to him.

It's too risky!
What if he recognizes you?

He won't. It'll be dark
and I'll keep my distance.

Besides... it was our fault
that he quit the paper,

and you saw how
heartbroken he was.

Yeah, but... he's the worst.

Not until you promise to stop
trying to reveal my identity.

If people know who I am,
it could put my family at risk.

Ultra Violet has a family.
Now, is that one sibling? Two?

Luis!

Do we have a deal?

Or do you wanna eat
my dust in super speed?

I'll consider your deal.

Depends on how good
this interview is.

So, you're still salty
about the chisme blog?

Yeah, I shut it down, but it's not like
I told people you were behind it.
