Black Scorpion Returns

Hey baby, how much?

- I can't believe this is what I do for a living.

Hey, hey,

sweetheart, come here.

Workin'?

As a matter of fact, I am.

Here's 20 bucks, all right?

Meet me at the motel down at the corner.

20 bucks?

Yeah.

Come on, business is slow.

I'm helping you out here, okay?

- I have a feeling things are about to pick up.

- All right, I didn't want to have to do this, but--

Get back in your car.

Keep your hands where I can see 'em.

Look, I'm warning you.

Drop it.

I'm a cop.

What?

Detective Walker, 21st precinct, I'm under cover here.

Rafferty.

I'm in your neighborhood acting on an anonymous tip.

The gun store?

- Yeah, the C.I. told me those skinheads over there

were going to hit it and I didn't want any streetwalkers

getting knocked off in the crossfire.

Mmhmm.

Well, I think you just blew my cover.

Not necessarily.

Hey, what about that?

Ah, it's just a hooker with a trick.

Come on, let's get this done.

Come on, let's go.

20 bucks?

Call for back up.

What is this, 20 bucks?

Love these midnight madness sales.

Everything must go.

We'll never have to buy anything ever again!

- This is unit 29063 requesting immediate backup

at Army of Angels Ammo.

Please respond.

Police!

Drop your weapons.

This is Rafferty,

I need backup at Angels of Ammo right now.

Help is on the way.

Computer, activate auto-transform.

Hey, come on, come on!

You gotta check these out, huh?!

Come on!

Black Scorpion!

What are we going to do?

Tell me a story, daddy.

All right, Darcy.

This is an old, old story.

Once upon a time, there was a scorpion

who wanted to cross a river.

The scorpion couldn't swim, so he asked a frog

for a ride on his back.

Wasn't the frog scared

the scorpion would sting him?

Yes he was.

Do you take me for a fool?

Why would I sting you?

If I did, you'd drowned and I'd drown with you.

Well, that seems logical.

I won't hurt you, I promise.

Halfway across the river,

he did sting him.

Now we'll both drown.

Why did you sting me?

Because I'm a scorpion.

I don't understand that story, daddy.

Some day you will, Darcy.

Some day you will.

Fire.

- In the light of day, Darcy Walker is a cop,

but in the dark of night, she becomes

Black Scorpion.

Doing with a mask what she can't do with a badge.

Magnetic field up.

Looks like you guys got caught with your pants down.

Eat my shorts.

That goes double for me.

Hey!

Looks like you could use a hand.

Man I hate guys with hair.

Let me help you up.

You're under arrest, Black Scorpion.

What are the charges?

- Oh, you got a long list of priors, Black Scorpion.

Leaving the scene of a crime,

reckless endangerment, destruction of public property,

possession of concealed weapons,

and speeding.

I think you forgot one.

Oh yeah, what's that?

Assaulting an officer.

Auto revert.

Rafferty.

Walker, where the hell'd you go?

What happened?

I just met black scorpion.

She didn't hurt you, did she?

No.

No, she made a hell of an impression on me.

- The masked vigilante known as the Black Scorpion

escaped the police again last night.

This just one week after Mayor Worth

called the entire department incompetent.

- Oh, I can't believe the mayor called us incompetent.

Geez.

Can you open this?

Yeah.

Hey.

Parker.

Meet your new partner.

You're kidding, right?

You two know each other?

This woman owes me 20 bucks.

All I'm saying is

the mayor has no right to call us incompetent.

Damn, they put these suckers on tight, don't they?

Give me that.

Thanks, Cap.

- You know, I mean if the mayor had any proof

we're incompetent, that'd be different.

Do you know what I'm saying?

- In a related story, Mayor Worth is expected

to introduce a task force.

Our own Benita Bradley is live outside the community center.

Benita?

- According to polls, mayor Worth's popularity

plummeted after his infamous shake down scandal

in which he was charged with,

but not convicted of, embezzling earthquake relief funds.

The mayor is expected to meet with the press

at any moment now.

Yes, and here he is now.

- Can we just get a comment real quick here?

My fellow citizens, the city of angels

can no longer live up to its angelic name.

We are not a city of angels,

but a city of muggers, carjackers, and murderers.

Don't forget embezzlers and adulterers.

- And what do the police do about the crime

that threatens our community?

They sit idly by eating their donuts

and when the police finally do make an arrest,

who do they go after, but a law abiding citizen like myself.

That's why I am introducing G.U.A.R.D..

G U A R D, let by my good friend here,

General Striker, who will now answer all the questions

that you may have.

General.

Uh, general.

I live by the gun, die by the gun.

Four!

General.

Yes, sir.

Uh, General Striker.

- General Striker. - Striker?

- General, what does G.U.A.R.D. stand for ?

Well, that information is classified.

If I told you, I'd have to shoot you

so the question is, how badly do you want to know?

Hey now, easy, easy.

Uh, general,

general.

He's joking of course.

The letters stand for the same thing

that the task force does,

Guerrillas for Urban Armed Response and Defense.

- Mr. Mayor, how do you respond to the planned

police protest of this program?

- Well let the police protest all they want.

If there's one thing I've learned after 20 years

of politics is, you can't fight city hall.

Maybe you can't, sir,

but I can.

Who the hell are you?

You can call me Firearm.
