All language subtitles for secret_world_of_alex_mack_s04e18_24_hours

I'm Al Smith.

I was just an average kid until an
accident changed my life.

And since then, nothing's been the same.

My best friend Ray thinks it's cool.

My sister Annie thinks I'm a science
project.

I can't let anyone else know.

Not even my parents.

I know the chemical plant wants to find
me and turn me into some experiment.

But you know something?

I guess I'm not so average anymore.

And I'll wait until this week is over.
No kidding. One more pop quiz and I

I may ruin my solid C average in
chemistry.

Mr. Buchanan is definitely a fascist.

I know.

I say we just go home and binge on junk
food.

Oh, I can't. My mom's picking me up.
We're going to the mall.

Really? Right now?

Yeah, it's the only time she has free
all week.

Okay, well, I guess I'll call you later.

Okay, see you.

Are you sure about this?

Uh, yeah.

But, uh, let's discuss it later.

Hi, honey.

Hi. Whatcha doing? Oh, it's, uh, no big
deal.

You know, we better get going to the
mall before it closes.

Mom, it's 3 .30. The mall doesn't close
for another three and a half hours.

I'll, uh, see you guys at home, okay?

Hey, Dad.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I had to tell your mom something.

What?

Nothing.

Let's go.

Ray, what makes you think I would
believe something this crazy?

I'm telling you, it's true.

I'm not buying it. If something this
ridiculous and amazing happened to Alex

it was this big secret and everything...

Why would you tell me? Keep in mind, I
was voted ninth grader most likely to

betray his country. Yeah?

I told you because we're going to need
your help.

Well, what's in it for me?

Nothing now. But later, there might be
something in it.

What do I have to do?

Right after school, you're supposed to
go to Paradise Park and meet George Mack

for further instructions.

And? Because I'm going to need your full
commitment on this. Ray, when it comes

to lying and manipulating, is there
anyone better than me?

That's what I want to hear.

But that's me.

Now, Ray...

You're lying to and manipulating your
best friend here.

How can you live with yourself?

Hey, you can sleep at night.

Don't worry about it.

All right.

Hey, Ray, did you sell my science book?

Uh, yeah, it's in my locker. I'm going
to need it before fifth period.

Okay.

What's wrong with you?

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it.

Can't believe what?

Nothing, Louis.

Forget about it.

What?

What's with him?

Ah, nothing.

He's a dope. Don't worry about it.

Um, I gotta go. But I'll get you a book
right after lunch, okay?

Okay. Alright.

Just a sec, Al.

Wow.

See you later.

Sorry, Alex. I didn't want to hurt her
feelings.

Save it. I'm going to be late.

Well, guess what?

Just who I was looking for.

Hi, Mr. Carrington.

Guess I just caught you in the act,
didn't I?

Um, what do you mean?

Detention. That's what I mean.

What for? I wasn't doing anything.

How about loitering after the bell?

The bell hasn't rung yet.

There you go.

Detention. But that doesn't make any
sense. Besides, how come I get detention

and Ray doesn't?

Alex, you're right.

Ray, detention.

I can't believe what just happened.

Thanks for including me.

Thanks for meeting me here, Lewis.

No problem, Mr. Mack.

Word travels fast.

Secrecy is of the utmost importance
here, and I have an extremely big mouth.

You need to keep me off the streets.

I also need your help to take care of
this properly.

But it's going to be a little while
before we get started.

In the meantime, I thought I'd teach you
the finer points of the game I call...

chess.

Well, I hate to tell you this, Mr. Mack,
but you're talking about the game I

love. A game I also call... chess.

Fair enough.

Your move.

Searching for Louis Driscoll.

You guys...

Already know the brutal rules of
detention.

But as an added bonus, we are fortunate
enough to have this school's junior

peacekeepers to help supervise today's
detention.

So if there are no questions, pull out
your homework, because I have a kind of

meeting sort of thing to go to.

Am I dreaming?

No, this is real. Very real.

Now... Excuse me.

Ray,

what's the matter?

It's my gut.

It's a situation that's in need of
immediate attention.

Yeah, nice try, Alvarado. No, really.

It's my gastrointestinal situation.

Seems to come from time to time.

Ray, this is detention. You were caught
running in the halls.

No, we weren't. We were loitering
outside after the bell rang.

Oh! Or so you said.

Whatever.

Can I talk to you in private?

What? I can't talk here. It's not safe.

Oh. Oh.

Oh!

Move aside. This kid is very sick. Very
sick indeed. Seems to be a gastro

-interjectional situation.

Sorry, Alex.

It may be the tapioca. I'm not sure.

Wait. Ray, Mr. Carrington.

Quiet! Hog!

This isn't summer camp!

Hit the books!

People!

This student, Alex Mack, I leave her in
your custody.

She is not to leave the premises, I
repeat, not leave the premises under any

circumstances.

Does that include fire, sir?

Okay, if there's a fire, she can leave.

But that's it.

Earthquake.

There hasn't been an earthquake in
Paradise Valley in 30 years.

I mean, the odds are probably a thousand
to one.

So you're saying there's a chance.

Okay, look.

Earthquake, fire, she can leave.

But no other reason is acceptable.

Understood.

Nathan, what's going on?

Uh, I don't know, Alec. What did you do?

I don't know. That's the thing. He said
I was loitering after the bell rang, but

it hadn't even rung yet. So in other
words, I'm completely innocent.

I'd love to believe you, Alex, but I was
sworn to uphold my oath as a junior

peacekeeper, which basically means I
have to keep my personal feelings out of

job.

Please.

Something really weird is going on here.
I can't trust anyone.

Yeah, I don't blame you.

Unit 1 to base, I'd like to put out an
all -points bulletin.

I just did an investigation on the jelly
donut sale at Wayne's Wigwam, and,

uh...

See? I believe I've just witnessed a
moving violation.

Now, when I do this, it means the move
is not official until I take my finger

off the piece.

I know, Lord.

This really isn't necessary. You can
just tell me when the move is official.

No, no, we play by the rules.

You know that, and I know that.

Oh, man!

Oh, I can't believe that!

Oh, man, oh, man! Oh!

Would you like to take your turn over?

Could I?

Thanks.

Sergeant, take a platoon to investigate.

I'll also send a flank squadron to flank
your flank.

And I'll stake out your flank, that we
may have a flank stake.

Okay.

Uh -oh.

Hello, Mr. Carrington.

Something weird is definitely going on
here.

Ahoy!

Can we just let this slide? I mean, I
told you it was just a mistake. Put a

muzzle on it, sweet cheeks. Now, what I
want to know is, where are you going in

such a hurry with this?

Don't you dare touch that.

Oh, you want me to get a warrant?

Chocolate.

Nice.

Just doesn't add up.

Running stop signs?

Packing a cake?

Hey, listen, you know what?

Hey, keep your mitts off that cake.

You know, I have my rights, you know. I
demand to be released.

Tell it to the judge, babe.

How could a judge?

I can't believe this.

It was a very simple assignment.

I told you.

It wasn't safe for Alex Mack to be out
and about roaming free in the streets.

Yes. Okay.

Why?

There is something very, very big
happening here, Nathan. Something that I

reveal you at this time.

Unless we find her, the whole plan, it's
totally ruined.

Nathan! Come on!

Holt? Nathan, why are you doing this to
me?

My mom wanted me to join a club so I
could make some new friends.

And in this club, you do what you're
told.

You have to let me go.

I need to go home. I need to lie down. I
need this day to be over.

You look terrible, Alex.

I tell you, you don't have that glide in
your stride and the dip in your hip

that makes the other kids like you so
much. Nathan, please, not now.

All right, listen to me.

I'm going to leave, and you're not going
to tell Mr.

Carrington or anyone else that you saw
me go.

Okay?

I really think he's up to something.

All right.

Wait.

You like my uniform?

It's nice.

Thanks.

Hey!

Hey, Robin!

Oh, hi, Alex.

Where have you been?

Oh, detention. It's a long story. I just
want to get out of here.

You seem a little tense.

Tense would be an understatement. First
my parents act all strange and then

pretend like nothing's happened.

Then Louis keeps staring at me all day
with this stupid expression on his face.

And Ray fakes some gastro thing, I don't
know, to get out of detention, and

leaves me alone with the high school
SWAT team.

Well, maybe you're just overreacting.

Robin, are you okay? My life is freaking
out, and you're just, like, standing

there. All I'm saying is, things happen,
you know, sometimes we have good days,

and sometimes we have bad days.

Okay, um, I'm just gonna go home,
pretend like this day never happened,

maybe by then the real Robin will have
come back.

Alex, wait.

Look, I'm sorry. You were right. That is
really messed up.

I just don't want to make you feel any
worse.

I mean, I thought maybe if I was
optimistic and remained calm, things

seem so bad.

Man, for a minute there, I was really
worried.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry, Alex, but this is bigger than
the both of us.

Hurry! She's over here!

Please don't hold this against me.

You're right.

Where were you going with this glorious,
innocent piece of heaven that I've been

inspecting for the last 20 minutes? You
know, what business is it of yours?

I don't appreciate your tone.

You know, I've got feelings too.

How about I just tell you and then you
let me go?

Okay, just pat your head and rub your
stomach at the same time.

Wow, you're good.

Thanks.

You were saying?

Okay.

Stop, you're making me kind of sick.

Okay, well, you're not going to believe
this.

Cry me.

Unit 1, this is Bates.

Go ahead, Bates.

We have a missing child reported.

Her name is Alex Mack.

She was last seen at the high school.

Please jam us in the surrounding area
and report back.

I'm on it, Bates.

Mr. Mack, my back is against the wall.

Yes, it is.

But you're not going to believe this.

Checkmate.

I can't believe it.

Game's over. Let's go.

It's time.

Freeze, sister!

Let me see your identification.

I don't have any.

What? You don't have your driver's
license?

No, not yet.

I mean, I take my driver's test in two
weeks. Besides, Chester, you know who I

am. Alex Mack from Wayne's Wigwam.

You appear to be.

But without that ID, I can't be sure.

Can somebody please tell me what's going
on?

Five foot six, a hundred some odd
pounds, a hat.

Yep.

Aren't you supposed to be in detention
right now?

No, not really.

Actually, I was falsely detention.

Nathan, please.

That's her.

Well, little lady, I have no choice but
to take you downtown.

Oh, come on, is this really necessary?

Yep, standard procedure Let's go

It's dark in here.

We like it that way.

Okay. I need complete silence from both
of you.

Alex Mack, I'd say you have some
explaining to do.

Actually, why don't you wait and tell
the rest of us?

Listen. I want to talk to my mom and
dad.

Alex, every year, the Einstein Society
holds a fundraiser for the local

children's hospital, and for $20, each
member picks a number between 1 and 1

,000. I picked a number for each member
of the Mack family, and, well, this

year, you won!

Really?

What'd I win?

It sure is. I don't believe it. And all
these people knew? Yeah.

Was it a surprise?

Definitely.

See, Mac, some people can keep secrets.
