(after Fillmore and he saw Ingrid 'wrap' Jamie)Ingrid might be in over her head.
FillmoreI think she's playing the part.
You see what she did to that kid? She was smiling.
Fillmore
Yeah, she was. To make it look good.
You wanna know the truth? I didn't want to put Ingrid on that case. Not because she's new, but because she's
Fillmore
Hey, Vallejo, neither are you.
She doesn't run with a crowd. Now she's got one! You're her friend, you're close, and I thought that was enough! But the thing is, I made that mistake before...
Back in the seventh grade I was partnered with a safety patroller who was sent undercover as a Red Robin. She was a lot like Ingrid; very smart, her own person. But being around that kinda group, she turned, Fillmore. I tried to talk her out of it, (wistfully) but... no dice. She's now the head of the Red Robins.
Fillmore
Malika... snap!
Fillmore
Why didn't you tell me.
I'm telling you now. I don't want to lose Ingrid the way I lost Malika. I thought things would be different, maybe Ingrid was stronger-
Fillmore
She is stronger.
Thing is, I don't know if it's about strong, Fillmore. Malika was smart. Like Ingrid. Quirky, out of the mainstream. But unlike Ingrid, she was in a couple clubs. Head of the unicycle squad, president of the A/V club, (hesitantly) and... of course... she was a-
Fillmore
safety patroller.
Even then, the Robins took it all away from her. She sold her unicycle, disbanded the A/V club, and now only has one passion; the Red Robins. I don't want that to happen to Ingrid!
Fillmore
(Determined) Oh it won't happen to Ingrid. I'll make sure.
(Challenging) I don't know if it's your decision, Fillmore.
Fillmore
I'm gonna go talk to Ingrid.
Fillmore
Some room! I practically spent my first two months of school here... 'Til that is, my former partner Wayne drafted me out of delinquency and into the safety patrol. You're lying, Ingrid. You didn't do it, and I can prove it.
So what? Listen. They're gonna expell me, and I want out. Why would I wanna stay here?
Fillmore
I have an ATM tape that proves you weren't anywhere near the school when the stink bomb went off!
And I have an eggplant that looks like Fred Durst! Did you hear me? I don't care. I just wanna forget you people!
Fillmore
Don't say "you people"! Because THIS person's been out there, busting his tail trying to clear YOUR name. And what do I get in return? a messed up eggplant. (Ingrid smiles) Well, what's that?! Joan of Arc cracked a smile! Ingrid, you didn't do it. Don't take the fall because of a hundred fools who want easy answers! You got a friend at X, me.
...You know. I was thinking, if one person other than the Welcome Wagon Girl is the least bit nice to me by two o' clock? I wouldn't confess to doing something I didn't do.
Fillmore
I would've been here earlier, but... I was busy trying to clear a friend's name. Cornelius Fillmore.
Fillmore
Are you reading those files?
Yeah, photographic memory... This school, you got kids with slingshots, baseball card sharks, test paper peddlers... But you don't have any rebels.
Fillmore
That's why you've gotta stick around.
Fillmore
Locked!... Where did you learn how to pick-
You know how my records list that I spent a year in Nepal? They didn't say that I was at a reform school. What? I didn't think it was pertinent to your investigation.
Fillmore
What were you in for?
A number of things... Including an incident with a stink bomb and a piñata.
Fillmore
You're right. It wasn't pertinent.
Fillmore
It doesn't work that way, Minna. There aren't enough brief yet effective hunger strikes in the world to justify what you've done. You're a criminal.
DMDerek Minna
Yeah? So are you. (Jumps from the branch to the rooftop and has his escape routes cut off by Ingrid, then O'Farrell and Tehama)
Fillmore
(Lands on the roof) No. I'm a safety patroller, and I'm bringing you down.
Fillmore
I'm on entry. (Hands over the binoculars) Sonny, you take lookout.
(Skeptical) Fillmore, you're not going in there alone, are you?
No disrespect domino, but you'd just be in his way.
Fillmore
Ingrid, it's cool. Give Sonny your walkie. (Sonny gloatingly reaches for the walkie) Look, trust me on this (Leaps down).
Relax, sunshine. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Beautiful. I knew you could do it man (villainously revs his watercraft as he moves away from Fillmore).
Fillmore
Sonny!
Fillmore
The evidence.
There is no evidence. Never was (opens book to reveal many CDs)
Fillmore
The term papers.
Thousands of them. I knew Rudy had 'em. I also knew you were the only person good enough to steal them from him. Bottom line, I needed you, C. (Bragging) Hey, check the getaway I jacked from the personal watercraft team.
Fillmore
It was you all along. The stuff that happened to my bike...
(Nonchalantly) What can I say? I knew you'd come to me for help, and when you did, I just pointed you towards Rudy.
Fillmore
And the helicopter?
I staged the whole thing to gain your trust. Beautiful, huh? The rest was easy. Once we got the location of the ledger, I made that little call to Peabody, and then, I planted the hall passes (Clips of Sonny being a snake playing all the while).
Fillmore
So you played me for a sucker?
Not really. I just know you, and I knew when push came to shove, you'd take that ledger. (Smugly) You're a thief, Fillmore, and you always will be. (Arrogantly) And do you wanna know the best part? You can't even go to the Safety Patrol now. Not unless you want to do some serious detention time. You took that ledger without a warrant.
Fillmore
(Jovially) Guess again, Sonny. This is a warrant to seize the ledger signed by Representative Peabody this afternoon.
Fillmore
(Hard) You made one mistake. You didn't erase the memory on your cellphone. Remember that anonymous call made to Peabody? Guess what phone it came from?
Fillmore
(Lifts shirt to reveal wire) And now that we got your confession on tape, I'd say it's over. (Into the wire) You reading this, Danny?
(Loudly and deliberately) Loud and clear.
(Looks at Peabody as if to say 'I told you so' and then to the walkie) Move in.
(On a loudspeaker from an oddly large boat) This is the Safety Patrol. We have you surrounded. Shut off your engine
Fillmore
Sorry, man. It's over.
Uh-uh. Not yet! (Awesome chase ensues)
SLSonny Lombard
(Booked, being taken to HQ) Hey, Fillmore. It didn't have to end like this.
Fillmore
You're right, Sonny, it didn't. When I went straight, man you should have come along with me. Because I got a better life now—and a better partner too. And I'm never going back to the way I was before. Never. Now that's beautiful (Fillmore jerks his head, prompting Anza and Tehama to get Sonny out of his sight).
Fillmore
(Looks to Ingrid) You ready to get out of here? (She smiles earnestly. The fist-bump and walk off together).
TTehama
Okay. What the heck is that?
Fillmore
Uh, no offence, Danny, but that kinda looks like Tiger Woods on a very bad morning.
(squinting) Oh yeah, and that's his elbow...at least, I hope that's his elbow...
