Original subtitles

In Los Angeles, 14 high school students are accused in a series of sex crimes.

Police say there was a combination of consensual and non -consensual sexual

encounters with at least two underage girls.

The man accused of stabbing two black men reportedly admitted to police it was

hate crime.

The stabbings happened in Covina at a mall on North Azusa Avenue.

The study finds that there are over 500 reported hate crimes in 2017.

Reports of violent crime on the rise in some cities in California, Los Angeles

and San Francisco in particular.

How safe do you feel? New numbers are out and the LAPD says violent crime is

in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is a safe city overall.

But as I always say, well, that means very little if you're the victim.

Not just the Los Angeles trend, this is a national trend.

America is struggling with...

70 % of residents feel somewhat or very safe walking alone in their neighborhood

at night.

So, uh, actually we get safer streets. Wow. A changing situation for certain.

Thank you.

Only two and a half more hours.

So I heard you're, uh, you're leaving us today.

Yes, I am.

New job?

Yes, I did.

Really? Where at?

You know, I don't really want to say.

Well, I wouldn't go against the non -compete clause because this company is

known to be a little swappy.

Nothing for you or HR to worry about.

Well, it was nice working with you.

Oh, thank you.

You know, I have to at least ask you one last time if you'll go out with me.

Last day, you won't give up.

I'm a persistent guy. I hate not closing a deal.

Jonathan, you've asked me out once a week, every week since I started here.

you shut me down every single time.

Jonathan, that's at least 40 blows to your ego.

Hey, I have a tough ego. Come on, let's go have a nice dinner.

And then we'll grab a couple birthday drinks with my brother and a few of his

friends. Your brother's birthday?

Yeah, I'm not a real big fan of him, but he really looks forward to them.

He's, uh, I don't know how to say it.

He's special.

Like, developmentally challenged?

Yeah. Oh, my mom used to work with people with special needs.

I grew up with people with special needs.

You don't say.

Yeah, birthdays are always a big deal.

Yeah, and I try to go all out with him to give him something really special for

his birthday.

Oh, Jonathan, that's so sweet.

What do you say?

I know Robbie would have a great time if you came with us.

Oh, okay.

Yes.

Okay, so where do I meet you?

How about Ricardo's?

Oh, that's a great place.

Great. I'll see you then.

Okay. See you tonight.

All right. Bye -bye.

Hi. How was your last day?

It went great.

We're still going out for drinks tonight?

We might have to meet just a little later.

What's up?

Jonathan asked me if I'd go to a birthday dinner for his brother.

Isn't this the guy that asks you out every week?

Yes, it is.

Why did you say yes?

I don't know. He told me the birthday was for his special needs brother.

Say no more.

I know, that's your soft spot.

What can I say?

So, where are they taking you?

Dinner at Ricardo's, and then the birthday celebration.

Ricardo's? Nice.

I should be done by nine.

Okay, do you want me to call you around then?

It shouldn't be necessary.

But if I need you to, I'll send you a text from the restroom.

Okay, so where do you want to meet up afterwards?

Oh, I don't know.

You choose tonight.

All right. How about Frank's?

Don't we always go there?

Has it ever disappointed us?

I know.

And the scenery is always hot.

Sounds like a plan, then.

Okay. I'll get a ride, and I'll meet you there around 9 .15.

If you don't hear from me by 9 .20, give me a call.

Will do.

See you then.

Bye.

Bye.

So that's my plan for taking over the company.

Well, I should say that's very ambitious, Jonathan.

So tell me this new career path you're taking.

Oh, I guess I'll tell you.

My good friend Carlene and I are opening up a cupcake shop.

A cupcake shop?

Yeah.

That's a great idea.

Yeah, I think so.

It's always been a dream of mine.

What's the plan?

Well, we've been saving up for a couple of years now.

We're signing the lease on Monday, and then we'll open up a month after that.

Awesome. Congratulations.

So are you going to come here today? Sure. I'll be the first in line.

Yes.

I'm sorry about this.

I've got to take this. Do you mind? Oh, okay.

Yeah, we meet at Brody's every Wednesday.

All right, look, we're going to cut through the park.

We'll be there in ten minutes, okay? Sit tight.

Are you okay?

You know, I'm really afraid of parks at night.

What's the matter?

A good friend of mine was attacked in a park at night.

I mean, she had nightmares for three months, and they never caught the guy.

I'm sorry. I didn't know that. If I knew that, I wouldn't have told him.

You know, I think it should be okay.

I need to get over these personal fears. Are you sure?

Yeah, and you'll protect me, won't you? Sure.

Let's go.

You doing okay?

God, it's really dark.

Yeah.

It sure is dark out here.

Yeah, how much further do we have to go?

Not much further.

I'm just having fun with you.

Well, don't have that much fun then.

Jonathan?

Jonathan, where are you?

You sure are pretty.

I'm here with someone.

Happy birthday, little brother.

Best one yet.

Do you like your present?

No.

Attaboy. Look at him. He's going to have fun.

Yeah, he is.

Fuck.

Fuck, calm down.

My birthday present is broken. I don't like it.

I don't know.

Get rid of it.

I love you.

That was a rough one, man. I'm going to need a cup of drink.

I'm going to need something stronger than that.

Where are you at?

What the hell are you doing in the park?

I don't know the answer.

That's my friend. She's been attacked.

No, no.

We're in the park.

She's been beaten and there's blood everywhere.

So, uh, is it bouncing?

I don't know. We're in the middle of the park.

Please hurry.

It's going to be okay.

Help is on the way.

I went to my former boss today and he said I could go back to work there.

You know, I just didn't feel you well enough to ask to open the door.

Don't worry.

I'm going to be here.

With you, every moment I can.

It's going to get better.

Oh, wow.

I'm so tired.

Well, you have been under a lot of stress lately.

I'm sorry. I think you need to start a new life.

Who are you?

My name is Dr. Michael.

This is my special assistant, Ann.

Hello. Hello, I wasn't aware of anyone new involved with Bidika.

Are you a specialist?

You could say that.

So, what kind of specialist are you?

I specialize in cybernetics.

Your friend Bidika was attacked, beaten mercilessly, and basically left for

dead.

Due to extensive damage, her arm had to be amputated.

Her eyes were burned so badly by the capsaicin.

into pepper spray that she's permanently blind.

And the damage to her brain was so severe that she now needs these machines

fill her lungs with air and beat her heart.

That's enough.

That's enough.

Why

are

you here?

I believe I can help your friend.

I believe I can help your friend see.

Give her a special set of arms that will give her full range of motion.

And?

Help her heart beat.

Her lungs breathe without the use of these crude machines.

How can you do this?

I mean, how can... I've been working on this for well over 30 years.

I've had many successful trials and transplants.

Myself and my team have been waiting for someone in your friend's type

situation. Let's see if we can bring it to the next level.

Will she be... Normal?

Yeah, there'd be some. A few differences.

Her arm will be like a normal arm.

And her eyes?

Her eyes, on the other hand, is a different matter.

How so?

She will be fitted with a special fibrinetic visor that is attached to the

receptors on the backside of her eyes.

This will make her look a bit out of place, like somebody from one of those

-night sci -fi movies.

Oh. And hopefully within the next few years we can upgrade that as well to the

point where we won't even need the visor.

I think that's something.

There's also one other thing.

The hardest part will be the brain implants.

The brain is very tricky.

Well, I know the implants can regulate the lungs and heart. My biggest concern

is emotional stability.

Well, I know. It's going to take so long for her just to get over this whole

ordeal. Not just what happened, but adjusting to her new life as well.

This will not be easy for her.

I will be here for her every day.

Good, that's good.

Vivica's going to need you.

She's also going to need to come in every week for the next year so we can

monitor her progress.

There's also one other thing we need from you.

What is that?

Since Vivica has no known immediate family, we need someone to be able to

this decision for her.

Me?

Would she trust you to make this decision?

We have known each other for a long time.

I know she wouldn't want to live like this.

But I also know she'd want to live her chance at life.

This paper recognizes you as power of attorney and gives you the authority to

sign off on this.

Is this legal?

There were a lot of interested parties in this matter that were able to make

this legal.

Who?

I can't say.

Do you not hold the future of Vivica's life in your hands?

Dr. Michaels, may I?

Yes.

She suffered a horrific accident, fell off the seat of her left leg and shut

down her kidneys.

Cybernetic Archie gave her the real thing.

Maybe even better.

As her kidneys were fully functioning without the use of any tricks.

Yes, cybernetics do need time to grow as she grows.

I do trust Dr. Michael and the will be done.

If I didn't, I wouldn't be here.

I do believe that you can see Vivica.

I hope I find the right thing.

I did the right thing.

You did what was necessary for Vivica to live.

Like I said, I did move a few things around, so that's okay.

Here.

Now you can put that in your room.

So, what do you think?

It looks great.

And how are you feeling?

It's so good to be home.

It's been so long.

It's really good to have you home.

Vivica?

Vivica?

I'm sorry.

It's just gonna take a while to get used to...

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Well, he did say it would take some time.

You know what?

What? I could really use you.

Really?

Mm -hmm.

Okay. It's so good to have you back.

It's so good to be home.

to my room for a while.

I just wanted to lay in my own bed.

The hospital bed just wasn't the same.

Hey, who just got here?

God, it smells great.

And what's your drink?

I haven't had a nice tea in so long.

Okay, I just made some up this morning.

Wow.

Yeah, do you mind if I get started?

It's perfect.

Good to hear.

Whoa.

I'm sorry for leftovers.

I was just really hungry for pizza.

Well, you may want to slow down just a little bit.

I don't know what came over me.

I don't think I've ever eaten like this.

I'll just go get the pitcher.

I really needed that.

Though it was a theme.

I'm sorry again.

I don't know what came over me.

I don't think I've ever eaten like that.

I think the first part of a healthy recovery is a healthy appetite.

I'm sorry.

So, I'm thinking.

What would you think about taking a self -defense class?

No.

No. I think it may be a good idea.

There is an instructor in town who specializes in working with women who

been severely attacked.

And he works in groups, but if you'd rather work one -on -one, he can do that

well. From what I've heard, he's really good.

Yeah, no, it may be a good idea.

You know, I've spent the last few months just learning how to function again.

It might be a good idea for me to learn how to protect myself.

No, no, I am.

I mean, maybe I shouldn't have brought it up.

I'd like to be the one -on -one.

Are you sure?

Look, honey, can you do me a favor?

Of course, anything.

Can you tell him why I want the one -on -one?

I want him to know what's up with that.

The last thing that I...

Someone looking at me like I'm some sort of science experiment.

Of course.

Of course. I'll let him know.

I'm sure he's very respectful, but I'll tell him what to expect.

Thank you.

Good evening.

Oh. Good evening.

Good evening.

You must be Vivica.

Master Ricky Luke.

Yes. I understand you wish to learn some self -defense.

Yes, I do.

Why?

What do you mean, why?

For me to train you, I need you to understand why you must be trained.

What?

Your friend has informed me of what happened to you.

Well, then that's all you need to know.

No, it's not.

I need to know that you've come to terms with this.

Come to terms with it?

I have to come to terms with it twice a week when I go to the clinic.

I have to come to terms with it every time I look in the mirror.

No!

I have to come to terms with it every time I look at any...

So what have you come to terms with?

I have come to terms with the fact That some evil fucker and his

friends tried to use me as a fun toy for his slow -handed rapist

brother.

And when I didn't just give in, they broke my body and they

left me for dead.

And what do you want?

I want to fucking kill them!

Have you said this to anyone yet?

I just want to be in control again.

Now, what you do with that control will be in your hands.

Thank you.

Very well.

Come back here tomorrow at 7 p .m.

We will train two hours for every night this week.

That will be enough to give you a sense of control.

And possibly more.

I will be here.

I believe you will.

Now, what do you wish to do with the new town control?

I will make things right.

Very well.

Good luck to you.

Thank you.

Yes, she just left.

Well, not only did she meet, but exceed the expectations you set for her.

Yeah.

Good luck with your vengeance.

There we go.

Oh, it looks great!

What do you have?

A button, or a thumb?

Yes, that would be nice. Ah,

thank you.

I really need this.

Oh, is everything okay?

I mean, I thought you said it was really well.

The training was great.

But afterwards, I went for a long walk.

And then I found myself standing next to the park.

Oh, no.

You don't know.

It's okay, really.

I mean, I didn't break down.

Good for me to have done that.

It helped me put everything into perspective.

And it helped me figure out just what I need to do in order to get past all of

that.

I am so glad to hear that.

Look, I need a gun.

Who the hell is this? You think it's okay to call me at 3 a .m.? Listen, I'm

desperate.

I need your help.

Come on, can't you wait a few more hours? Then come to the shop.

In the middle of the night.

Look, my life's in danger.

Fine.

Meet me under the 215 in 20 minutes.

Then bring cash.

Or something pretty.

I'll get you what you need, but it's gonna cost you.

Pretty? What do you mean?

Crazy bitch.

Yo bitch, you looking for some action in that?

Let's get it over here.

That's right.

Come on.

Hurry it up.

Damn time.

Damn lady, what the hell happened to you?

Why do you think I need a gun?

Kind of odd if you ask me.

What are you going to use it for?

You know, you wouldn't have met me here in the middle of the night if you really

cared. That's where you're wrong. You got the dough?

Can I see it first?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

That'll be 2G.

What the hell are you doing?

Listen, lady, you want protection, but I'm not the kind of guy that you can

protect.

I know what I need to do next.

Yeah, sorry, I'm a bit behind. There were a few homicides on the other side

town. Damn, busy night.

Jesus, what a mess.

Yeah, and nobody's heard gunshots or anything.

Yeah, but it doesn't look like a shooting, not with this much blood.

How long until Frank's to get here?

It'll be a while. Like I said, there were two other homicides.

Excuse me!

I'm Detective Myers.

Hello.

I'm investigating the double homicide in the area here.

Did either of you hear or see anything last night?

You, ma 'am?

No. Are you okay?

No. I don't like people looking at me the way that you are.

Well, I'm so very sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.

It's okay.

It's taken me a while to get used to seeing myself like this.

Well, if either of you can think of or hear of anything, please let me know.

Will do.

Boy, that mobile arm is working good for you, isn't it?

Yeah, it is.

Anything at all.

Such a beautiful Wednesday morning.

I feel like after today, I'm really going to be able to get on with life.

Oh, really?

Yes. I have a meeting later on this evening that I think will really help.

meeting is that?

It's like a self -help meeting that will help me deal with this trauma.

What about the meetings at the clinic?

It's just the same thing every time. How are you feeling?

How are you adjusting? How are people adjusting to you?

The clinic just isn't addressing what I need it to.

I feel like tonight's meeting will really help.

Do you need me to go with you?

No. This is something I have to do on my own. I'm the only one who can confront

this demon.

Well, if you're sure.

Yes, I am.

Crazy about what happened this morning.

It's probably just some trash -diving junkies.

Wow, that's kind of cold.

I guess my attitude towards this street violence has just changed.

I guess I can kind of understand.

Well, that's good, because I'm not sure that I understand.

Do you know what I think we should do?

What's that?

I think it's time for us to go on a little vacation.

I couldn't agree more.

Where to?

I was thinking somewhere with a great beach.

Don't we already have a beach like 20 minutes away?

Yeah, I was thinking of some place a little more inclusive that has hot

guys bringing us mango -flavored drinks with little umbrellas in them. That

sounds like a great idea.

Time for a minute?

Yes. Oh, you've got the duck girl going tonight.

Yes, this is for confronting personal demons.

Well, this fits you very well.

Thank you.

Good luck tonight.

Thank you.

See you later.

I don't care about that.

Who's out there?

Any spare change, mister?

What? Some kind of hooker?

I don't have any fucking money, you crazy bitch.

Get the fuck out of here.

Yeah.

Hey, where you at? Yeah, I'm running a little bit late. What's up?

We're already up here at Brody's.

I had to run some errands. I'm just going to run a little bit late. That's

Well, hurry.

Robbie's getting a bit impatient.

Give me the phone.

Hey, Jonathan.

Yeah, Robbie.

When are you going to get here?

I'm sorry, buddy. I'm running late. I'll be there soon, okay?

Well, hurry up.

I'm going to get another beer.

All right, okay. Put Tony back on the phone, okay?

Okay.

Look, just let him finish the one he's got. Don't give him any more until I get

there, please.

All right, will do.

All right, see you guys in an hour or so, okay?

Okay, see you then.

Robbie, what am I going to do with you?

So what'd you say after that?

I told my service coordinator she could kiss my ass.

It's the same fucking thing as the time.

They think that what's best for me, but I know what's best for me.

You don't need anybody telling you what to do or how to do it. Yeah.

How long have you been working at the market?

15 years.

Have you ever had a problem?

No. Has Mr. Cushman ever been unhappy with your work?

Fuck no.

Do you like the work you're doing?

Fuck yeah.

Well then, fuck the service coordinator.

Fuck the service coordinator.

I gotta go pee.

Should we wait for Jonathan to order another pitcher?

I think fuck it. Let's order another one. Okay.

Sit here.

Hey, Robin, what is it?

It's my birthday present.

It's big.

You don't think?

Shit, I hope not.

I have no idea.

All right, I'm going to fucking, I'm going to fucking go that way.

Oh, hi.

Oh, that big, that big little snap.

Oh, I'll call Jonathan as well.

Damn it, you guys are impatient. I'm ten minutes out.

You better hurry up. We got a problem.

You probably let Robbie go over his limit, right?

Will you just shut up and listen to me for a second?

What's going on?

Robbie said he saw his birthday present across the street from Brody's.

He went after her in the park.

What the fuck did you just say?

I said Robbie went after his birthday present in the park.

Is it possible she's still alive?

Robbie doesn't lie. He said he saw something. He saw something.

Oh, no.

What are we going to do?

All right, look.

Find Robbie and the girl. We've got to finish this bitch off.

All right.

Got it.

Stay at the park. Keep an eye on Robbie. I'll be right there.

Oh God.

Dare yet?

I'm so sorry

This way, Carly.

Robbie!

Robbie!

Now what?

What?

Fucking get it over with.

I would like my birthday present.

I like hide and seek.

Where are you?

Robbie!

Robbie, where are you at?

It's okay.

I got you.

I got you. There you go.

You're alright. Come on. Get up. Get up.

Come on.

You're all right.

You're okay.

The toy is still broken.

We'll get you a new one.

You'll be okay.

Come on.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're all right.

Bobby!

Around this way, Carly. Come on.

Well, Jonathan, it looks like if you want to kill me, you're actually going

have to get your hands dirty.

Kid!

You

stay

here. No, no, she needs to be in there.

Charlene, come back here.

I'm sorry, Carlene.

I didn't want it to be like this.

It's going to be okay.

I made such massive pain.

David, I will never hurt another woman.

I know they won't.

I can't.

I'm sorry, Carly.

It's all gone. It'll be okay.

What would you think about... Look,

I need a gun.

Yo bitch, you looking for some action tonight?

I do believe that you can take care of the car.

Jesus,

what a mess.

All her vitals are in check.

Breathing and heart rate are stabilized.

Very good.

Thank you, Hannah.

So, how are things going at home?

Oh, very well. Thomas is moving in this weekend.

Oh, sounds serious.

Marries your kids in the future?

I don't think so.

I think of them as more of a roommate.

I don't think I'd be a good wife and definitely not a mother.

These are the last thing I need in my life.

That'll be all for now.

Yes, sir.

Hello, Evangeline.

Hello, Doctor.

I see that there were a few issues.

Except for a few emotional setbacks.

I would say it was a huge success.

I know we lost one of our own men in the weapons transfer.

And that we did.

But from what I gather, he handled that poorly himself.

And what of her repairs?

All the reattachments were a success as well.

She's stable and fully functional.

What about her friend?

Has she decided to start asking questions and making trouble for the

organization? As long as she believes that the urn she has contains Vivica's

ashes, she'll be fine and forget about us.

She belongs to the organization now.

And what if Vivicaker holds a grudge about everything that's happened?

Not to worry.

But we'd wipe the memory clean.

She won't remember a thing.

Very good.

You've done well, Dr. Walton.

Thank you, ma 'am. I trust she'll be fine here?

Oh, yes. We'll keep her comfortable until you're ready for her first

Very good.

Thank you, ma 'am.

You're going to be one badass bitch.

We'll be in touch shortly.

Thank you, ma 'am.

Well, looks like everybody is very happy with how you turned out.

You don't have to worry about laying around too long.

I'm sure we'll have something for you to do in no time.

Thank you.

Thank you for

watching.

We'll be right back.

My voice is pure thought that reaches the mind.

Hey, how does that guy know our language?

It's us.

Our brainwaves make the telepathy become sound.

My race was great once.

The machines served men, and my people were happy.

Then the huge machines stole the command from me, and we became slaves.

All this before the great explosion.

I am talking about an atomic catastrophe.

Its survivors, as you see, have regressed to an animal state.

Strangers, Mama knows why you have come to this planet.

Number one, number one, number one, number one, number one, number one,

one.

The voice of the Pfizer.

What I heard was the computer controlled his electronic voice.
