Undercover Brother

Narrator:

After a generation of struggle

changed the face of our nation,

African Americans

entered the '70s

with new found hope.

- I am...

- I am...

- somebody!

- "somebody!"

Vibrant leaders emerged

and black culture reached

its high point,

influencing all facets

of American life.

## Say it louder... ##

Audience:

## "I'm black and I'm proud" ##

Let me hear you-

## Say it louder... ##

But progress slowed

in the decades that followed.

Black culture began to lose

its distinctive flavor.

And as the millennium

drew to a close,

disaster struck.

These seemingly random events

were in fact orchestrated

by The Man,

a villain obsessed

with turning back the clock

on race relations.

Just when it seemed

the funky spirit

of the '7 Os

would be lost forever,

a new hero emerged.

His name, Undercover Brother.

## "Tear the roof off, we're gonna"

"tear the roof off the mothersucka" ##

## "Tear the roof off the sucka" ##

## "Tear the roof off, we're gonna"

"tear the roof off the mothersucka" ##

## "Tear the roof off the sucka" ##

## "Tear the roof off, we're gonna"

"tear the roof off the mothersucka" ##

## "Tear the roof off the sucka" ##

## "Tear the roof off, we're gonna"

"tear the roof off the mothersucka" ##

## "Tear the roof off this sucka" ##

## You've got a reaI type

of thang going down ##

## Getting down ##

## There's a whole lot

of rhythm going round ##

## Whoa! We want the funk ##

## Give up the funk

Ah, we need the funk... ##

Give it to me.

Need it, got to have it.

- ## We need the funk ##

- We need the funk.

- ## "Gotta have the funk" ##

- Say!

## La-la-la-ya-ya ##

## Do-do-do-do-do... ##

## "Turn this mother out... " ##

It ain't no thang.

Yeah.

A bird gonna sh*t

on my windshield?!

Not on my Cadillac!

I'm gonna chop your feathers

off and put you in Chinatown!

They gonna make

Peking Pigeon out of you!

Damn!

Unbeknownst

to Undercover Brother,

there was a secret organization

dedicated to truth,

justice,

and the Afro-American way.

They had never crossed paths

until now.

Headquarters, come in.

Good work, Sistah GirI.

Data from the mainframe

ready to commence.

- She's transmitting! Are we up and ready?

- Yes, sir.

And I've hacked into

the bank security system.

Computer:

You've got soul.

- We're in.

- "Aha!"

The computer!

Another idea stolen from the black man.

Did you all know that

George Washington Carver

made the first computer

out of a peanut?

- Hmm?

- A peanut?

- A peanut!

- Shut up and get back to work!

I've spent six months

setting up this operation

and I want

to see everything-

off-shore accounts,

dummy corporations, money laundering.

If we can cut off his funds,

we may finally be able

to stop The Man.

Waited a long time for this.

- What the hell?

- What the hell?

- What the-

- "Dissed. "

- Ah, solid.

- "Hey!"

What the hell

are you doing, old man?

Whoa!

- Headquarters...

- is there another agent on this case?

- Hell, no!

Damn it, who is that guy?

I'll cross-reference the bank's

security camera with our database.

Guard 1:

Come on, Uncle Ben!

Whoa!

Oh, sh*t!

It's Macy Gray

with pork-chop sideburns!

Who's bad?

Ohh! Right up

the pooper!

Right on, sweet sistah.

Chief:

Damn it, who is he?!

Sistah GirI, abort mission!

Damn it.

Who was that guy?

## "Hey, Undercover" ##

- ## "Undercover Brother" ##

- Solid.

## "Here's the plan-"

"he's got to fight the man" ##

## "And he's looking fine"

"when he goes head to head" ##

- ## "Dig those funky threads" ##

- ## "Wears his daddy's black" "medallion" ##

## "And it stands for pride" ##

## "Truth and justice"

"be your guide" ##

- ## "He's bad" ##

- ## "All he does is good" ##

## "He's the Robin Hood"

"of the 'hood" ##

## "Hey-hey, Undercover" ##

- "Solid. "

- ## "Undercover Brother" ##

## Dressed to kill

in the Coupe Deville ##

## "Oh, hey!" ##

- ## "Undercover" ##

- "Too funky for myself. "

- ## "Undercover Brother" ##

- ## "Undercover Brother. " ##

Yeah.

Announcer:

Mr. Feather, The Man wants to see you.

Fabulous.

Newscaster:
And now, the Channel

and Chuck Marlboro.

There's growing speculation that

former defense secretary and war hero,

GeneraI Warren Boutwell,

will run for President.

He is considered

the first African-American

with a legitimate chance

of winning.

Wendy? Yeah, he is a

strong candidate, Chuck.

He's so well-spoken.

I've noticed that.

General Boutwell seems to have

a lot of support all across the nation.

Yes, and not just

in the urban areas.

In fact, the decorated

four-star general and Vietnam vet

is regarded

as one of the country's

most well-respected

public figures.

General:

Thank you very much.

A staunch advocate

for civil rights,

Boutwell has never backed down

from controversial issues.

Indeed, if ever there was a

straighter arrow than Warren Boutwell,

we'd be hard-pressed

to find him.

Well, if he does declare

his candidacy,

this certainly will be

an exciting race.

Race? I'm not

touching that one.

First, our children hip-hop

all over the suburbs.

Now Boutwell

might be President?!

They are taking over

every aspect of our culture!

- Don't you agree, Mr. Feather?

- Word.

- For sheezy, my neezy.

- What did you say?

I said... for sure.

Yes, indeedy.

I have a cold.

I want the White House

to stay white.

Eliminate him!

But, sir,

if we kill him,

we'll only be

making him a hero.

Do you have a better idea?

Our friends

at Multinational Inc.

have been developing

a new drug

with some very interesting side effects.

I think we may have found

the perfect guinea pig.

Newscaster:
The so called Afro

Bandit struck Multinational Bank.

However, it appears

no money was stolen.

Authorities questioned

singer Macy Gray,

but she was released

for lack of evidence.

Well, would anybody

like to explain exactly

what the hell happened

at the bank?!

His name

is Undercover Brother.

Apparently, he was erasing

mortgage records

so that low-income families

wouldn't lose their homes.

Sistah Girl:

Great.

A "Soul Train" reject

with a Robin Hood complex.

- Now I've heard everything.

- Hey, hey, hey, now.

At least he got

the job done.

- That's the kind of man we need around here.

- The keyword being "man"?

Hold on.

I didn't say that, you did.

Man-man.

The General's

press conference is starting!

Newscaster:

We interrupt this broadcast to take you live

to a press conference

by General Warren Boutwell,

in which he is expected

to announce

that he is a candidate

for presidency of the United States.

I wonder if he'll run

as a Democrat or an Independent.

- Never know. Might be a Republican.

- Oh, please.

What kind of self-respecting black man

would run

as a Republican?

Name one thing

the Republican party

has done

for black people. One!

Well, they were

the party of Lincoln.

They stood against

the tyranny of oppression

by leading the call

for the Civil War,

and forced passage

of the Emancipation Proclamation,
