Matt Reeves Batman spin off is here, and 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:03.320 we will be breaking it down. And in the comics corner, 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.520 we're gonna be asking when does the Penguin actually take 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.560 place in the comic book timeline, Like if you look 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.840 at the Batman comics, what is going on? And when 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.120 is this taking place? And is it actually taking influence 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.759 from any comics at all. We'll be answering all those questions. 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.039 And next up, let's talk about the Penguin. 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:26.080 Whoop bomba bah bah blah bah bah woke up in Gossam. 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:32.520 The power in my hands, built by empire, got a 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.160 plan to rule this land. That's right, it's the story 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.520 of Ozzie copp Oswald Coppa Gulu. 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:50.680 Crazy is Aswald Copaca the Penguiny Beyes Me Penguin Season one, 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.800 episode one, episode one of the limited series that thus 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.800 far gotta say is great. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.640 It is pretty fantastic, pretty great, open, pretty stunning. 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.520 Directly in the wakes in the wake of the events 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.000 from The Batman. 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.640 It is literally a week after The Batman, and we 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:14.160 recently found out that The Batman too will take place 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.240 a week after the end of this show. Oh wow, Okay, 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:21.000 so Matt Reeves said, this is happening, so quick, quick, 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.600 quick recap of what happened at the end of The Batman. 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.919 The Griddler, as per his plans, destroyed the sea wall 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:33.520 protecting the city from the waters surrounding it. Much of 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:41.799 the city, but honestly mostly the kind of lower income districts. Yeah. Yeah, 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:47.519 And so it's like a Hurricane Katrina esque situation. And 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.600 tell us what's going on with some of the crime 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.320 figures in the wake of The Batman. 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.919 Okay, so this is a big This is going back 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:00.720 to some of the most famous Batman or our stuff. 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.320 So you have the Falconies and who we first met 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.280 in Batman Year one, which is by Frank Miller and 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.720 David Mazakelli, which makes a lot of sense because The 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.480 Batman was kind of meant to be a Batman Year 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:17.200 two era. That is who we met sal for Falcony 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.079 it John Taturo's character, who we learned in the World 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:26.120 of the Batman was also the father of Catwoman. He 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:31.360 was killed and now we're in a situation where the 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:38.480 families are in a mess. Salmrony, who we saw briefly 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.640 mentioned because he'd been put in prison in The Batman, 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:50.360 is played by Clancy Brown in The Wonderful The Yeah, 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:54.040 the Fantastic Clancy Brown and Sammaroni is a really old 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.960 school Batman villain. He was from Detective Comics sixty six. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.640 So you're talking about the originators of Batman, Bill Finger 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:07.000 and Bob Cain. It is very classical kind of representations 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.520 of what people thought mobsters were. I think, if I'm 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.320 not mistaken, I'm pretty sure Carma and Falconi was meant 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.520 to be based on don Vito Corleoni from the Godfather. 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:22.080 And then The Long Halloween, which was the Jeff Low 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:27.039 Tim Sale comic is when we met the wider Falconi family, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:32.760 who play a massive part in this story. And interestingly, 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.120 it is not The Long Halloween. Let's just preface that. 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.120 We'll talk more about the comics later, but a lot 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.159 of people though it might be The Long Halloween. But 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:45.080 basically where we are now is Maroni's in prison, his 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:49.640 family wants revenge. Falconi is dead, and his family's trying 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.159 to work out who's going to take over. And guess 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:56.080 who thinks he should take over? Oh Ozzie Cobbs, Oh 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:57.200 Ozzie korn Cobbs. 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:03.279 So you laid out Rosie. With Marconi dead, his son 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:09.000 Alberto is positioned to take the crown to become the 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.680 leader of the crime family. Only issue is Alberta is 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.200 addicted to drops. He's got a lot of addiction. He's 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.560 a drop head. He's a drop head. And so in 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.240 this landscape with like two crime families kind of jostling 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.120 for power and the city and chaos, the penguin is 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:33.200 looking to like climb up the ladder. Azzi Cabbaducco, Ozzie Cobb. 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.440 He breaks into his the Old Club to get into 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.520 the contents of a secret safe. He's got in this 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.560 safe a bunch of blackmail files so that he can 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.440 start squeezing some of the local politicians. And he's got 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:46.280 a bunch of jewels. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.520 Yeah, it's clear that this is sal Falcon's. This is 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.480 this is I mean, this is common Falcony's like, this 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.039 is his secret secrets stash. 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.960 So Alberto the Son gets to drop on the penguin, 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:07.280 but the penguin as he will do clearly throughout the Yeah, 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:13.400 a thing about watching this, It talks himself, I was 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.240 getting these jools for you. 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:20.800 Wanted to make sure no one else caught him, get 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:21.720 myself in that. 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.080 You know, Alberto, I've always been a big supporter you. 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.920 You know what I mean, I understand you and a 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:33.080 lot of pressure everybody you know looking looking at you now, 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.720 and Alberto is like, yeah, it's clear like he's feeling it. 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.799 He also hints that he's got some sort of secret deal, 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.680 secret drug deals, some new experimental drug that can revolutionize 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.440 the drug tradeing Gotham. He's working on that. Now. Oz 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.480 takes the opportunity. Here's that and he's like, oh, that's interesting, 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.240 and he immediately is like, let me get this kid 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.240 talking he brings. He's like, hey, I know you got 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.800 the drop problem, but that means you could drink, right, 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:02.160 you drink Hey, So they started drinking. One thing leads 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.480 to another use. You know, Alberto is absolutely doing drops, right, yeah. 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:09.800 Because I'm guessing cops just like Oswald gave him the drops, 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.640 you know, that's what he wanted. And I want to say, 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.480 I find it so funny that every time in these stories, 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.160 like whether it's in the comics or in the movies 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.680 or in you know, eighties movies like RoboCop two, there 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.200 is something that people find so appealing storytellers about this, 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.320 like a new drug sitting in the streets, a new 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.440 street drug. And that was definitely a big thing in 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.840 The Batman with drops, but we're getting an expansion on 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:38.400 it here, and I'm very interested to know what Alberto's 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.640 new drug is because it definitely feels like it could 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.720 be some kind of scarecrow. 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:46.600 I think situation. Yeah, I think it's scarecrow stuff. So 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.400 the kid starts talking more about this drug and he's 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.200 very very enthused about it, about the way it's going 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.720 to revolutionize the drug trade, et cetera. Meanwhile, the penguin 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.000 is playing it as he will again all series, like 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.320 he's he's just a yes man, like he's just one yeah, 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:05.560 regular thug. 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.760 Yeah you got a guy, what a great idea, boss, 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.160 And then he starts talking about, uh, the penguin does 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.800 about his like come up in organized crime, Uh you 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.440 know the hoods that like took him under his wing, 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:24.360 and how the leaders that he really respected that taught him. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:28.320 The ropes were like beloved, not just you know, they 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.679 were killers obviously in criminals, but their their gang members 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:37.160 like loved them because they would They were beloved and 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.280 people were loyal to him and the kid Alberto takes 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.960 offense to this. He's like, what do you think, you know, 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.760 like critiquing the way I'm doing things, and then he 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.720 realizes that like the penguin is talking about how he 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.480 wants to be a leader. 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.400 And I am, and how he wants to be remembered. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:57.400 Now Alberto, high on drops and drunk, is starts mocking 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:03.560 the penguin like you fucking you know, get even a cripple, Yeah, 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.640 forget it. So the penguin just shoots him dead and 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.800 then I love it immediately, just like you know, he's 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.640 he's happy for about forty five seconds. You're very satisfied 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.680 with himself. And then he realizes I just killed the boss, 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:22.320 Like I just killed the new boss. This is a problem, right, 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:26.560 So we get the title card, which is great, and 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.000 then we come back and the penguin is he's wrapped 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.120 the body up and he's trying to figure out, like 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.720 how am I gonna dispose his body? Unlocks Alberta's phone, 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.480 so you get more information about the drug deal, you know, 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.719 using his dead face and puts it up to him. 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:40.960 Love how people do that in shows. Now, it's like 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:45.160 so grimmest way of whatever. That thing is cool because 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:46.440 I don't have it where you put your face on 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.000 the thing. But yeah, it's so good. 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.280 So he goes outside. When he goes outside, he finds 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.400 these kids breaking into his his plum. 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.880 Yeah, his purple Mazarati, which first of all, Matt reads, 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:02.400 this is not grounded, but that is an Italian car. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.320 I gotta get an Italian car, you know. 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.920 I wi what the penguin would drive. And I love 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:10.760 the little not his his costume colors. Also, he is 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.520 going to regret this car so much because believe that 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.560 everybody knows that as Oswald's car throughout the show and 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.520 it is going to get him in so much trouble. 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:26.200 Well, no, he's got the fulvo too, we'll get so, 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.360 you know, the penguin immediately shooting the kids and then 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:35.360 he catches one of them, Victor Victor Aligar, and the 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:40.600 kid is obviously terrified, and the penguin is like, basically, 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.640 enlist this kid with a gun to his head, but 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.240 you know, not literally but like figuredly most of the time. 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:48.520 Most of the time, this kid is in fear of 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.640 his life. Enlists this kid in helping him get rid 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:56.600 of Alberto's body. So he makes Victor drive him around 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.679 to wherever he's going to dispose the body. Meanwhile, he's 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.040 going through Alberto's and he finds the date no information, 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.720 but just like literally a calendaring a playment that says 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:06.560 like drugs. 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:11.760 He's like drugs at the Gotham Shipyards. Drugs. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:17.319 So okay, now he's got some information. Meanwhile, Oswald is 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.719 like telling the kid he because he looked at the 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.079 kid's license, he knows they're from the same neighborhood basically, 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.000 and so he's talking about the old neighborhood when he 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.920 was growing up in this place. 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:27.360 He goes. 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.959 They go to this ice cream shopp he used to 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.520 go go to it. You ever get the slushy from 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:36.000 the ice cream ship? You ether get the slushy? Would 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.280 you ever get the different flavors? You gotta mix up 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.280 the flavors, right that, you gotta mix it. 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.440 Look, but this is very specific because he says a 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.160 slush puppy, which I feel like people don't really understand. 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.360 In England, we don't have a sluppy. We don't have 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.480 a slushy. We just have slush puppies. So I know 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.880 that someone English was writing this because that is slush 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.880 puppies in America, especially on the East Coast. But for 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:03.199 this specifically be a slush puppy, that's a really specific experience. 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.600 But I was happy to hear this slushpuppy reference. And 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.560 it is true that red and blue together does make 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.240 a nice play of us. I agree with those. 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.040 I think this episode was written by Was it written 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:14.920 by the showrunner Laura? 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:15.400 I think it was. 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:21.240 So the kid kind of like very very fractionally loosens up, 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.680 although he's obviously very very afraid. They go to the 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.000 red light district where people know Vicor I let. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.320 Me die I'll aloud you a lot, don't think, don't 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:31.080 get it twisted. 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:32.040 Ozzie's down here. 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:36.559 A lot, and Victor then notices the that the Ozzie's 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:43.600 unique gait is the result of braces and a kind 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:47.960 of malformed foot which Oz needs braces to kind of 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.120 help him walk, and so he's got that very sideways 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.040 kind of wabble wabba walk. He goes to see Eve, 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.440 who is a madam, to set up an alibi in 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:01.720 case any of the gang one's ask He's like, listen, 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.280 I was I was with you, I was with you, right, 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.240 So therefore he can't get fingered for Alberta's murdered. 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:12.920 Wonderful acting here, Oh there's you learn so much here. 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.920 And it's literally like the briefest scene, and you realize 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:24.880 that the penguin has probably legitimate feelings for Eve because 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:30.480 as you know, she's closing the door to say and 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.520 saying goodbye to him, he's kind of like peering around, 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:38.160 looking around to see if anybody's there, like he's it's 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.280 clear that he has like legitimate feelings for her. 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.199 Yeah, And it's played by she's played by Calm and 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:47.200 a Djogo and who and she's just so great, like 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:52.800 the little intimacies that they put across with this kind 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.880 of open door segment, and it's clear that she's not 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.760 agreeing to be his alibi because she's scared of him. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.600 She's doing it she cares about him, or there's some 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:07.400 kind of okay. Actually interestingly as well, her name is 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.640 Eve Carlo. So is this like a clay face notd 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.280 what do we think? I think it is a clay face. 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.760 I think there's something interesting there. Yeah, because it's ka 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.160 R l O. It's like very specific, so nice little 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.200 not that to a to a classic Batman villain. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.680 So they stop for sandwiches Penguin and Vic and then 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.760 they carry the corpse to like a very very ruined 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.480 part of the city and they put it in the 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:39.400 trunk of a Cadillac, like a nineties Cadillac, and Penguin 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.960 then takes the ring off of Alberto's finger, which is 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:44.360 like the. 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.000 It used to be Carmine's ring. It's the family ring. 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:49.320 If you're the boss, you wear it. 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.920 And he got it from the Maronis. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.560 He stole Carmin and Falcony stole it from sal as 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:59.200 a kind of fuck you before he got put in prison, right. 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.520 And so he tells and then he's like, so the 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:07.200 penguins they shut the trunk, and the peng was like, hey, Vic, 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.200 you gotta see the sunrise. Look pretty good? Turn around, 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.520 take a look at that. And it's like a you know, 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.800 Vic is uh vickas red and of mice and men. 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:22.520 He knows. So he's like, hey, hey, come on and 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:23.000 you see that. 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.120 Yeah, I can help you. 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:29.200 I can help you out. And so the Penguin's like, okay, yeah, 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:29.920 we give you a try. 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:30.880 Give you a try. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.680 Kid on a on a probationary basis, will give you 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:37.280 a try. They go to the penguin's apartment. Uh Vickxy's 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.840 a family photo, a very interesting family photo in the 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:45.920 in the penguin's apartment, it's like three young kids. And 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.720 the penguin goes into his bedroom behind like these fucking 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.160 steel pod. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:54.080 Doors, like a crazy safe door. It's so over the 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:55.800 top and I absolutely love it. 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.320 I love it. He puts the ring in the box 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.080 and then we get to see him take off the 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.520 braces on his feet. It's clear that his condition is 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:08.880 quite painful. Vic drives Penguin to his drops stash house. Now, 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.600 after the flood, a lot of the drug supply of 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.600 Drops got flooded, so Penguin's gang is busy like basically 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.560 cleaning the drops so that they don't waste all the 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.040 supply and that they could use it then to sell. 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.360 Yeah, and I like the idea that there's a great 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.040 moment where because the thing is about this show that 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.160 I think is so good and why I think the 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.000 reviews are coming out good and why I think it's 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.440 enjoyable to watch is they write Oswald as a character 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.040 that you can root for, not because he's a good person, 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.680 because he's always getting into a scrape, right, but they 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.280 give you these moments to remind you he's a terrible person, 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.120 like he literally says, like you know, they're like, well, 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.880 a lot of the drops are ruined, that they're infected. 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.080 The gang brings in an injured member while they're there, 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:58.440 and it's clear that this kind of Falcony marony rivalry 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:02.080 is beginning to heat up. Penguin gets a phone call 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:07.159 from the Falcony shot callers and he has to go 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:11.840 to a meeting outside of town. Vic wonders if it 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.879 means they know that he killed Alberto, and Penguin says, like, 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.240 listen and he's telling Vick a lot. He's like, listen, 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.280 right now, nobody really knows how ambitious I am, how 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.159 smart I am. I play it like I'm just a 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:26.320 quite like a yes man. And then when I leave, 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.520 I do my own thing. They go up to this mansion. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.879 It's up in Bristol Township and it's fucking gorgeous. Now 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.480 the penguin when he gets out again this wonderful writing 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.080 and acting where the penguin gets out and it's clear 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:42.080 he's worried that he's out of there, but he also 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.560 is covering it up with like jokes, kid, in case 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.119 I don't come out, Yeah, I'm coming out. What are 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:51.240 you talking about? YEA penguin sits with Johnny vet who's 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:56.440 kind of like the underboss with Alberto, who knows where 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.359 Alberto is. So Johnny Betty is kind of like the 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:03.880 guy vd's guy Muos tells penguin, there's so many guys 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.119 and there's so many guys. He tells a penguin that, listen, 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.679 your little drop operation that we just saw, we're moving it. 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:12.840 We're taking it from you, we're moving it out of 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.200 your territory, and we're giving it this so shut it down, 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.359 shut it down, And Penguin's like, what the fuck you know, 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:21.760 we're first of all, we're doing great work, like scavenging 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:27.240 these these distressed drops that we're going to be able 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.679 to sell, like seventy percent of this stuff is going 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.120 to be sellable. And VID says like, shut up, you're 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.920 not the boss. The last thing we need is heat 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.040 from the cops or a gang war with the with 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.359 the Maronis. Now get the fuck out. And so then 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.200 the penguin says, well, I'm going to make my pitch 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.040 with this this thing I heard from Alberty says, hey, 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:50.520 I've got a deal that you know, it's kind of 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.119 very uh, you know, under the table right now. It's 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:57.800 preliminary but promising. It's this experimental drug, the whole thing, 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.240 and you know, no risk from you guys, like, I'll 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:06.000 take all the risk, but yeah. Sophia Carmine Falcone's daughter 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:11.359 recently released from Arkham because of a murder spree. She 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:17.160 apparently went on he's listening and she asks the penguin 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.040 straight out in front of VD and Melos, like do 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:24.159 you know where Alberto is? And Vd's like, hey, Sophia, 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.399 don't worry about it. Get out of here Oz, and 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.480 he gives Oz forty eight hours to figure out if 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.480 his drug deal is anything. Sofia comes out of the 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.920 house and asks the penguin again, where's Alberto? And penguinsays, uh, 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.240 you know, Alberto's the boss. Now, he's got a lot 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.399 of meetings, he's doing stuff. You know, what are you 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:46.359 talking about. Sofia's like, well, let's get lunch right now 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.719 and just catch up. Okay. So they go to this 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:53.040 very hoity toy restaurant and Sofia is eating like she 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:53.879 hasn't seen food. 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.800 Dude. It's this is such a good character bit that 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.400 they do with that. Well, like she's been an kham 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.160 she ain't a nice food for a long time. 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:04.879 The wonderful Kristin Migliatti. 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:07.440 Oh, I love Kristin Milioti so much. They were so 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:09.600 lucky to get her for this role. She's so fucking 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:13.199 good and I love how she is just shoveling with 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:18.440 her hands. She's just shoving this food and Martini's it's 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:20.159 so good, and she's like, give me another one. You know, 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:21.480 she doesn't give a fuck. 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.399 Now. The other customers are nervous because you know they 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:30.160 are clearly in the presence of the famously psychotic killer 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:35.000 named the Hangman, who we don't quite know what her 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:38.200 backstory was and how it comports with the Hangman's backstort. 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:39.919 But the Hangman was like a cop killer. 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:44.240 Well from from the comics, which we all get into later, 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:48.280 there is some interesting crossover here that we can talk about, 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.800 and it tells us something about when this is kind 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:55.879 of set. But yeah, they are. They are definitely perceiving 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.840 her as if she is a terrifying threat and she'd 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:02.120 cavo she or she wants to knows where's her brother? 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:08.280 She says she doesn't blame the Penguin for her father's death. 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:12.120 And she says that, you know, last I heard from 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:16.639 my brother he was going to your club. Uh. And 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:22.040 she says, also, here's an interesting thing. Alberto was working 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.000 on a drug deal. It sounds very similar to the 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:28.600 one you pitched with me, So how do you know 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:33.760 about it? And then Penguin once again is slippery Penguin guy. 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:34.800 He's so good at this. 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:39.880 He's like, oh, whoa that that Alberto? He's done it again. 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.240 He didn't tell me about you either? 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:48.359 Yeah, yeah, and also as well, like I think there's 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:52.200 something really interesting here because it's clear that even though 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:57.560 Alberto is the kind of wasteman like of the family, 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:00.439 he's not doing anything. He's a drop addict, he is 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:03.480 not trustworthy. It's clear that him and Sofia have like 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:08.240 a very deep connection, and that by killing him, Penguin 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:10.800 has obviously put himself on like a collision course with her. 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:13.480 She she clearly loved her brother, and she talks about it, 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:15.200 and she basically says, listen. 0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:17.439 When I was in Arkham, who came to see me? 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:20.879 Him? That's it. Every week he came to see me. 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:24.640 And then Pengoin's like, well, you know you might not 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:28.720 know listen, your brother because you were incarcerated for vicious, 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:33.359 vicious murders. Your brother's a drug addict. He's on drops, 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:35.720 so he might be able to dropbender right now. You know, 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.800 he's on the whole thing, gambling, drops, sex, the whole thing. 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:40.800 All of it, everything bad that could be taken him 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:41.320 out of action. 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:44.880 He's there and he says, in any way, I wasn't 0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:48.480 even at my club yesterday. I was with Eve, all right, 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.960 my girlfriend. And Sophia is still suspicious, but she's a 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.200 little thrown off now and she tells Oz that listen, 0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:58.960 I'll tell you what Oz. Nobody else sees it, but 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:04.800 I see that you're You're a capable, smart, ambitious guy. 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:09.080 She's like, everyone else underestimates here, that's right me, And 0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:10.680 I like, oh, that's so scary. 0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:15.520 Yeah. So now OZ is very very concerned, and we're 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.920 concerned here as well, that they might shut us down 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:21.879 unless you get a word from our sponsors. In your ears, 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:22.600 we're gonna. 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:38.399
