The Demolitionist

That Marlin, man, he is one bad fish.

Boys,

the hour is drawing near.

Don't you think we could be making

a little bit better use of this time?

Well, fill me in on the protocol, padre.

How exactly do we do that?

Well, you might contemplate

the nature of your crimes.

Repent of your sins.

- You hear that, L.H.? - Yeah.

We're supposed to be thinking about all the bad, bad things we've done.

Oh.

You know what, father?

You're right.

This was a good idea.

Hey, hey, hey, look! It's us!

The executioner's song is playing tonight

for the bloodthirsty Burne brothers.

The eyes of the nation are on Metro city as these sadistic siblings

await side-by-side seats in the electric chair.

"Mad dog" and "little Henry" Burne

were the first criminals to be convicted

under the city's controversial anti-firearms amendment

for their part in the Metro city mall robbery two years ago,

which ended in the massacre of six bystanders

and three Metro police officers.

Ironically, the brothers' fates

now rest in the hands of the very person who led the crusade

to abolish all weapons within the Metro city limits,

mayor Eleanor Grimbaum.

Early today, by order of the governor,

Grimbaum was given penal jurisdiction in the matter.

Only a phone call from her

can save the condemned men now.

Mr. Lee, it's mayor Grimbaum.

It's not too late, is it?

Oh, thank god.

Mm, good. Good.

Uh, add a sesame chicken

and a pork rice to that, would you?

Mm. Fried.

One question...

How shall I serve you?

Come again, warden?

After you're cooked.

Shall I serve you with potatoes or stuffing?

Well, don't go preheatin' your oven just yet.

There's been a change of dinner plans.

David Copperfield doesn't have shit on me.

Some last-minute substitutions in the cast tonight, folks.

Roll it, Henry.

Sorry, no refunds.

- Move it! - I wanna see those fuckers dance around again.

Come on, drop it, we're out of here.

- One more time. - No!

Mad dog!

Hey! Mad dog!

Whoo!

It's showtime.

What a sorry bunch

of drug addicts,

- degenerates, and whores. - Yeah.

Damn, it's great to be back!

I want to thank skin here for...

Well, for running things for me while I've been on vacation.

He's done a damn good job.

Now, skin assures me that... Well, now that I'm back,

the transition of power,

well, will be a smooth one.

Later, skins.

Now, if you want to Rob me

and steal from me,

god bless you.

Just, uh, well,

just don't get caught.

All right.

This is no time for celebration.

My brother is dead.

And his blood is on the hands

of that fucking woman

who put us in that hole

and tried to shut us down.

Well,

tonight...

We're going to rip the tits off that fucking bitch

at city hall!

Get rid of her.

You're new.

You know what?

I'm gonna enjoy breaking you in.

That son of a bitch landed right in our laps!

You know, you better warn the mayor

because they're coming after her tonight.

I'm telling you

if I can isolate mad dog, I'm taking him out.

No, don't do anything stupid.

So, what do you think? You like the leather for the wedding

or you into the traditional white?

Alyssa, now don't do anything crazy.

- Just wait, wait for backup. - I got to go.

Alyssa, wait for back... She never waits.

It's about freakin' time.

What was you doin'? Checkin' for worms?

Don't make me hurt you, boxer.

Oh, yeah. All right. When ballerinas grow balls, right?

When ballerinas grow balls.

All right, let's cut to the chase.

Press is trying to crucify me.

How did they get someone on the inside?

How did they get firearms past the scanners?

Answer me that, Higgins.

Uh, we don't know yet, your honor.

Well, I've got scanners everywhere.

I've even got one at my gynecologist's office,

for Christ's sakes.

How did they get past the ones in Metro pen?

We believe it was a plastic weapon, ma'am.

Or a resin compound.

From the remaining traces we've been able to...

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

What are we doing to find mad dog?

Well, we've got a G6 Mo-Tech unit on the scene at the prison.

Uh, they're seeing what they can dig up

and, uh, we've alerted the U.C.S in the field.

What the hell are "U.C.S"?

Undercover operatives.

Would you cut the Matt helm shit, chief?

You... honey,

I am doing a press conference, not "Othello."

Would you blend this?!

Now look, boys, Mark my words,

if I go down on this,

I shall do so with my nails

firmly implanted into your balls.

Have you got that?!

This is an election year.

My approval rating's at 33%. Ow!

And that was before mad dog escaped.

31%.

I have no time for kiss-asses, professor.

How can I help you?

Perhaps we should discuss how I can help you.

And what are you talking about?

Lazarus.

Oh, the prom is over, Jack.

Stop asking me to dance.

Even if I totally approve the Lazarus project, which I don't,

there's no money in the budget to support it.

- She's right. - I suggest you find it.

Or else?

Or else the voters will look at you as the woman

who gave Metro city back to the criminals.

That's hardly fair.

At the time, we all reacted favorably

to the civil unrest amendment.

If other measures were taken

in conjunction with the abolishment of guns.

Lazarus was one of those measures.

You have to move forward on this, it's a matter of self-preservation.

Yes?

Yes. The mayor?

Is this a reliable source?

Strange time to be washing windows.

Professor Crowley, please put your gun on the table

and put your hands behind your back.

You're in violation of the civil unrest amendment.

Blow it out your ass, Higgins!

I'm green-lighting Lazarus as of now.

Other than a check, what do you need?

A candidate.

Hello?

It's our friend.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'm listening.

Bad news from city hall?

She's alive.

What happened?

- There's a rat on board. - A rat?

Flush it out.

- It's not me. - Are you a rat?

What?

You were inside a long time and I was just thinking...

Yeah, well, I got a lot on my mind.

Go down on me. Make it quick.

Well, can't we go somewhere a little more private?

Don't. Jeez!

Argh!

She never waits, she never waits.

This is U.C. 159 to dispatch.

We got trouble.

You know what?

You got nice eyes.

- Surveillance camera. - No.

Audio?

Hm-mm?

What do you think the range is on something this small, huh?

Can't be too far.

Check it out.

- Wake her up. - Here we go.
