The Umbrella Academy(Season1)

Chapter 8

MOTEL-NIGHT-SAME TIME
[Hazel and Cha-Cha enter motel.]
Hazel: Reservation for Hazel and Cha-Cha. [Man stands up with sigh and gives them key.]
Man: Here you go. Room 225.
"Commison really wants me. Cha-Cha and Hazel are the best in job after me." Said Five.
"Them? They look like idiots." Said Diego.
Cha-Cha: What about the other room?
Man: Uh... Only one room was booked.
Hazel: Dammit. I'm sick of this cost-cutting bullshit.
Klaus and Cora chuckle.
"I like him." Said Klaus.
Cha-Cha: Just tell me there's two beds.
Man: Yes, ma'am. Real firm. Now, how long do you think you'll be staying with us?
Cha-Cha: Just the one night. I believe there's a package waiting for us. [Man brings the box to them. Cha-cha takes it and they leave.]
Man: Okay. Have a good night.
MOTEL ROOM- LATE NIGHT
[Cha-Cha opens the box and takes riffle out.]
Cha-Cha: Go ahead. Say it.
Hazel: What?
Cha-Cha: No point keeping it bottled up, or it'll just give you heartburn, and I gotta listen to you complain about that, too.
Hazel: Smells like cat piss. First they cut our per diem, and then our dental, and... now we don't even get our own rooms. Where does it end? When we retire... or die.
"They are so... normal. I didn't expect it." Admitted Vanya.
Cha-Cha: Whatever comes first. But at least we're not stuck in some cubicle.
Hazel: Damn wrist is killing me. Couldn't have made this into a backpack or something? [Hazel hides it in the air vent.]
Cha-Cha: What are you doing?
Hazel: It's not like we're gonna use it while we're doing the job, anyway.
"It's against protocol." Said Five.
Cha-Cha: It's against protocol. We gotta have it with us at all times.
Hazel: A rule written by a bureaucrat who never had to carry one. (scoffs) They can shove their protocol up their asses. Let them try lugging around the damn thing. [Cha-Cha takes out old Five's photo.]
"You are a handome old man." Said Klaus.
"Hmm. I agree." Said amused Cora. Five rolled his eyes amused.
Cha-Cha: Never been after one of our own before. They say what happened to the first guys?
Hazel: (voice shaking) Liquidated.
"I don't like the sound of it." Said Luther and looked at Five. Five doesn't seem bothered.
Cha-Cha: Dummy local hires. You get what you pay for. Okay, now, where's our guy? [Cha-Cha activates the machine, which shows location.]
STREET- SAME TIME
[Police enters the dinner Five and Cora were later.]
Policewoman: This is a once in a blue moon type of situation, I'd say.
"Wait... Isn't she your girl?" Said Cora.
"His girl?" Asked Allison.
"She isn't my girl!" Said flushed Diego.
"Yet. For those who don't know our dear brother here (points at Diego) dated Officer Patch, then they broke up, but Diego still loves her." Said Cora.
"Aww. Love." Said Klaus.
"I do not." Protested Diego. Siblings looked at him amused.
"You so do." Said Cora.
"No!"  Said Diego.
"Yes!" Said Cora.
"No!" Said Diego.
"Yes!" Said Cora.
"No!" Said Diego.
"No!" Said Cora.
"Yes!" Said Diego.
"Ha! You admit it!" Said Cora.
"You tricked me!" Said Diego.
"Details, details." Waved it off Cora. Diego glared at her. Others watched them amused.
Policeman: (sighs) I'm inclined to agree.
Policewoman: Same gun on every vic, all M4s. All the casings are 223s. Know what I think? I think these idiots all shot each other.
"Yeaah. That's Five's side. My side is full of stabs." Said Cora.
Policeman: (chuckles softly) And stabbed. Almost all of them have stabs. Lot of them. Weapons haven't been found. And where did so many water came from?
"Ice melted." Said Cora. Luther still doesn't look okay with it, but doesn't say anything.
Policewoman: Any witnesses?
Policeman: (sighs) Yes. One. It happened during her shift. [Points at lady sitting in corner, at table.]
Policewoman: Well, that's lousy luck. [Policewoman goes to her.]
Policewoman: Ma'am, I'm Detective Patch.
Woman: Hi. Agnes. Agnes Rofa. Oh, I don't know, did you want a last name?
Patch: I'll take it if you'll give it. Did you see what happened here?
Agnes: (sighs) No, not exactly.
Patch: Let's start at the top.
Agnes: Well, it was... it was a slow night. It was quiet. My last three customers were this... older guy, his daughter and... and grandkid.
"Grandkid." Snorted Klaus. Five glared at him.
Agnes: The guy had a dough... No, that's not right. The guy had an éclair, and the kid and woman had... had coffee. I went... I went into the back room... um, to just get some more change. But then I heard his truck start up. They drove away. I heard shots. And by the time I got back in here... everyone was... ( sniffles ) ...was, you know...
Patch: Was there anyone else in the shop?
Agnes: No, I... I don't think so. I'm sorry, not to be rude, 'cause you seem super sweet, but... ( sighs ) ...do I have to go through all this again?
Patch: Again?
Agnes: Well, I already told the other detective everything.
Patch: What other detective?
BACK DOOR-SAME TIME
[Diego gets out of back door. Patch walks toward him.]
Diego: shit. Hang on, let me... [Patch shocks Diego and he falls on ground.]
Cora and Klaus laugh. Five smirks. Luther looks surprised. Allison and Vanya look worried. Diego looks emberessed.
"I knew there was reason i like her." Laughed Cora.
"Shut up!" Glared Diego. Cora laughed louder.
STREET-CONTINOUS
[Diego has handcuffs on him and Patch is bring him to car.]
Patch: You don't talk to my witnesses, understand?
Diego: Let me catch you up to speed, Eudora.
Patch: Don't call me that! [They stop and Patch starts to search him.]
"They look hot together." Said Klaus.
"Sh-shut up!" Said Diego emberassed.
Diego: Right, Detective Patch. What, are we gonna keep things professional?
Patch: I don't know if we ever agreed on much.
Diego: We agreed on some things.
"Old flames. How interesting." Said Klaus.
Patch: Did we really, though? I'm confiscating this. [Patch takes out Diego's transmitter.]
Diego: Military surplus, practically giving them away.
Patch: And this.
Diego: No skin, super cheap, bought it on eBay. [Patch takes out Diego's mask.]
Patch: That you can keep.
Diego: You used to like that.
Patch: Not anymore.
"There is definetly a tension." Said Cora. Diego denies it, but everyone ignores his protest.
[They continue walking.]
Diego: By the way, this thing might look like a botched robbery, but my gut's telling me something else is going on here. Look, the waitress, she mentioned that Ishmael's Tow Truck guy. Maybe they saw something.
"Yeah. Something's wrong." Said Diego and gave Five and Cora a look. They give him innocent looks. Diego rolled his eyes.
Patch: You're not police, Diego, remember?
Diego: Yeah. I know.
Patch: Do you? Because you show up and act like you can be a part of this, and you can't, not anymore.
Diego: I'm good at this. You know I can help you. [Patch makes Diego sit in police car.]
Patch: I know you give me agita. And I do not need... I do not want your help. Okay? [Patch walks away.]
Patch: (sighs) Lord, you test me. [We see Hazel and Cha-Cha who are watching all this.]
"What are they doing there?" Said Diego worried for Patch.
UMBRELLA ACADEMY-DAY
[Allison's room's door is open. Allison is packing. Luther looks for a second and continues walking, then stops.]
Luther: Shit. [Luther walks back and enters Allison's room.]
Luther: Hi.
Allison: Hey.
Cora makes disgusted face.
Luther: You know, it's funny. I've had the same routine for the last four years. Now that I'm back down here, I'm not quite sure what to do with myself.
People look at Luther with sadness and sympathy.
[Allison continues packing.]
Allison: I know the feeling.
Luther: (chuckles softly) Well, you must be eager to see Claire, huh?
Allison: I didn't think it was possible to miss a person this much. But I've got some things I need to do before I can see her. You know, someday I'd really... love for you to meet her.
Luther: Me?
Allison: Yeah, you. (chuckles) Why not?
Luther: Well, does Claire even know about me?
"Ehy wouldn't she?" Said Allison.
"Well... You didn't seem like you wanted to do anything with past when you left." Said Cora.
"That doesn't mean you. I didn't want to be child soldier, but it doesn't mean i didn't want my family." Said Allison. Vanya smiles.
"Aww. So sweet." Said Klaus and got up to give Allison a hug.
"Why idoesn't he have withdrawal simptoms by now?" Asked Cora.
"Probably they did it, so Klaus can watch this with clear mind." Said Diego.
"Probably." Agreed Cora.
Allison: What are you talking about? Of course she knows about you.
Luther: I don't know, it's just that, when you left, it seemed like... all you wanted to do was forget this place ever existed, so...
Allison: This place, yes. But not you. When Claire was little, I used to read her books about the moon. I'd tell her her uncle was living up there. That he was... protecting us from harm.
"Really?" Asked Luther.
Luther: (chuckles) Really?
"Stop repeating yourself, space boy." Joked Klaus.
[Allison goes toward Luther.]
Allison: I mean, you were... her own personal superhero. You know, after all this time, I know she would love to meet you.
Luther: Uh, Dad's monocle is still missing, so I can't just forget about that.
"Forget about that monocle already!" Said annoyed Diego.
"I can't just forget it. Our father..." said Luther.
"Don't start. Let's just watch." Said Cora.
Allison: Dad died because his heart gave out, Luther. Don't turn his death into a mission.
Luther: Is that what you think this is?
Allison: I think there's a reason why you never left. [Allison walks out of the room.]
UMBRELLA ACADEMY
[Klaus is sleeping on couch, he is turning and crying.]
Klaus: (slurps loudly) (crying) No, no...
woman: (O.S.) Klaus! Klaus!
woman 2: (O.S.) Klaus, you... Please... [man shouts incoherently.]
"What this voices?" Asked Vanya.
"The ghosts." Said Klaus. (He is back to his seat.)
woman 3: Klaus...
man 2: Why, Klaus?
man 3: Klaus, help me!
[Woman 4 screams. Klaus falls of couch hyperventilating. We see Ben looking up from book to Klaus.]
"B-Ben?" Asked Siblings(except Klaus) with hoarce voice.
"You.. you really see him." Said Allison.
"I wouldn't lie about him." Said Klaus. Cora pattes Klaus's hand.
"He... He looks same." Said Vanya.
"Is he here?" Asked Luther.
"No. I-- i haven't seen him since we appeared here." Said Klaus.
"Makes sense. I can't use powers here either." Said Cora. Hargreeves shared a look.
"None of us can." Said Five. He doesn't look happy about it.
Ben: You know you talk in your sleep? Klaus: Oh... ( panting ) Oh... [Klaus crawls toward table.]
Ben: There's no point, you're out of drսg.
Klaus: Shut your piehole, Ben. Said with love. [Klaus makes kissing face.]
Ben: (sighs, coughs ) I've got a crazy idea. Why not try starting your day with... a glass of orange juice or some eggs?
"You should listen to him." Said Allison.
"You really should. He has always been the smart one." Said Cora. Klaus shows them middle finger.
Klaus: Can't smoke eggs. [Klaus lighs up sigaretts. Later, Klaus is searching shelves.]
Klaus: One of these has gotta be gold-plated, right?
Luther gives Klaus disapproving look again.
[Pogo clears throat.]
Klaus: Christ on a cracker! Pogo?
Pogo: My apologies, Master Klaus. I have a query for you.
Klaus: Oh?
Pogo: Items from your father's office have gone missing. In particular, an ornate box with pearl inlay.
Klaus: Really? Really? You don't say.
Pogo: Any idea where it went?
UMBRELLA ACADEMY/STREET/PAWN SHOP-YESTERDAY
[Klaus takes out an ornate box with pearl inlay from his coat. Throws documents that were in box in trash and then we see Klaus coming out of shop with money. Clearly sold the box.]
"Klaus! You can't just sell dad's things!" Scolded Luther.
"Why? It's not like he's gonna need them." Said Klaus. Luther glared at him.
[Then he give money to someone. And lastly, we see Klaus dancing, high.]
UMBRELLA ACADEMY-PRESENT
Klaus: No, no, no. No idea. ( sighs ) Sorry.
Ben: Liar.
Klaus: Drop dead.
Siblings gave him a look.
"What? He was being annoying little shit." Said Klaus.
Ben: Low blow.
Klaus: Would you shut up?!
Pogo: Excuse me?
Klaus: Pogo, I didn't mean you, I just... I... You know, there's been a lot of stuff I've been dealing with. Just a lot of memories coming up. All those good times. Well, not so much good times as really awful, terrible, depressing times.
Pogo: The contents of that box are... priceless. Were they to find their way back to the office, whoever took it would be absolved of any blame or consequences.
Klaus: Oh, well, lucky bastard.
Pogo: Indeed.
