All language subtitles for Secret World of Alex Mack, The - S1E01 - The Accident [BloodLogic]

[dog barking]

Are you planning to get up?

You know there is no way
Mom's going to let you sleep

through your first day
of Junior High School.

Alex.

- Yes.
- Isn't it an exciting day?

You sent for me, Miss Atron?

Vince, I just got off the phone
with our testing facility.

They'll be ready for GC-161
transport later this afternoon.

That's very good news, Miss Atron.

It has to go smoothly.

You're the only one I can
trust with this sort of thing.

- You won't have to think about it again.
- I won't.

[Man]
Attention, attention, please stand by.

[alarm sounding]

[steam hissing]

[beeping]

[steam hissing]

You know what,
I'll have reschedule that lunch.

Can you make sure that
I have that market research

on my deck when I get in this morning?

Right, let me talk to Judy.

Annie, where is your sister?

Upstairs, trying unsuccessfully
to define herself through fashion.

I should just face it.

I'm boring.
Plain and simple.

Boring.

What are you working on, Dad?

You haven't taken your
eyes off that screen for days.

This new compound I was
telling you about-- GC-161.

There's a real buzz
at the plant about it.

Are you on their mechanism
or applications end?

Strictly the mechanism. Everything
else about it is very top secret.

I have no idea what
they have in mind for it

but it has some
extraordinary properties.

- Hmm.
- [steam hissing]

- [doorbell chiming]
- Annie!

- [Annie] It's open!
- [ringing tone]

- Hi.
- Oh, yes, good morning.

This is Barbara Mack
returning you call.

- Uh-huh.
- Hold? Sure, I can hold.

- Hi, Mr Mack.
- Good morning, Raymond.

Where's Alex?

Going through
pre-traumatic stress syndrome.

[Barbara] Alex,
you've missed breakfast.

That's okay,
I'm not really hungry.

I can eat.

You must be nervous about
your first day at school.

Everything is going to be just fine.

Just don't expect me to be
the award-winning genius like Annie.

We don't expect that, sweetie.

[Annie]
That's true, Alex.

In fact, if you just pass on to
the next grade they'll be ecstatic.

Annie, enough.

Alex, I have a surprise for you.

[Annie sarcastically] Trolls!
Very cutting edge, huh, Alex?

Thanks, Mom.
I'd better get going.

George. Isn't there something
you want to say to Alex

before her first day at school?
[clears throat]

Well, Alex...
[clears throat]

um, first day... well...

Mmm... good luck.

Raymond.

There's no more monkey bars.
The stakes are bigger

the work's harder
the girls prettier.

And you sink or swim.
And me... I'm a shark.

[school bell ringing]

[music from Jaws playing]

[teacher] So we'll start
with a little review.

You have covered
most of this territory

in your sixth-grade math classes.

[all laughing]

Class, please, settle down.
Where was I?

Okay. If AX squared plus
BX plus C equals zero

then X equals minus B plus/minus
the square root of B squared

minus 4AC over what?

Okay.
How about Alexandra Mack?

[Vince]
You're the best we have?

Maybe.
[chuckles]

Mind if I grab some lunch on the way?

The testing facility is
expecting the shipment now.

You can get your lunch after
you've made the delivery.

Okay.
But I'm really pretty hungry.

Hey! This is important.
Your lunch can wait.

And take back roads.
No stopping. No nothing.

Do you understand?

Yeah... which part?

[Alex] It was worse than
I thought it would be.

I got shoved in a locker,
I ripped my class schedule

- and everyone here hates me.
- [Raymond] I like you.

No offense, Ray

but I'm going need more
than you to survive here.

I'd say I'm sinking.
Let's just go home.

- No can do. Band tryouts.
- Band tryouts?

- You're going to join the band?
- I have to try. You know my dad.

The alvarados always play
in the school band.

I can't break that tradition.

Besides, maybe
I'll meet some girls.

- Well, I'm a girl.
- Girl type girls, Alex.

Oh... girl-type girls.

I'll come over later.

See you.

[Girl]
Get out of the way!

Why don't you watch
where you are going?

Yo, check out her lunch box.

Hey, what are you guys
doing to her?

Scott, relax. We're just
messing around with her.

Chill out, Jessica,
go back to practice.

- First day, huh?
- It'll get better.

- I hope so.
- What's your name?

Alex. Um, Alexandra.

Hey, Scott, why don't you
ask her about trolls.

- She's an expert.
- You like trolls?

I, uh... I used to.

But not now.
I mean, not anymore.

I'm too old to play with troll dolls,
any dolls.

Right.
Hey, I'll see you later, okay?

[dance music playing on radio]

I'm such a geek.

[gasps]

[Alex screaming]

[coughing]

Why don't you watch
where you're going?

Hey, kid, get back here!

Annie!

[saw buzzing]

[electrical sizzling]

[screaming]

Whoa!

[man]
This is a restricted area.

Wow. Tough first day?

Hey, Annie,
I was coming home from school.

When this plant truck swerved,
almost hitting me.

Then it crashed, bam!
Right into a hydrant.

Then this barrel of gold stuff
spilled out all over me.

Hmm.

You're not clever enough
to make this up.

And just now,
without even doing anything

I think I turned on the saw
and the electric train set.

What?!

[Vince]
Some kid stepped into the road

and he had to swerved
to avoid him.

- Him?
- Or her.

He didn't get a good look.

I've kept the police away
from here so far.

This is an absolute disaster!

There's another piece of news
you won't like.

He says that when the GC-161
spilled out of the truck

- it covered the kid from head to toe.
- What?

I'm afraid so.

But we found a handprint
in the mud near the accident.

And I'm hoping to match
the kid up to it.

Vince, I know nothing about GC-161

I know nothing about this accident
and I know nothing about his kid

until you find him
and bring him to me.

I'll deal with it.

Like you dealt with this?

Your blood pressure and
body temperature are normal.

- How do you feel?
- My arms and legs are all tingly.

What do you think it is?

I don't know,
it could be nothing.

- So I shouldn't worry?
- Of course, you should worry.

for all we know you could
have been hit by something

that's seeping into your
brain cells at this very minute

and it's attacking
your central nervous system

and you're going to turn into
a quivering mass of jelly.

Whoa!
What happened to you?

- Alex was involed in a little accident.
- An accidnet?

- You mean the one near the school.
- You know about that?

I just came from there.
The place is going nuts.

Okay.
So we all just need to relax.

Because Alex is glowing a little.
No big deal.

No big deal? No big deal?!

Look at her!

Annette Wayne.

Neil Kensella.

Johnny Yelman.

Ah, come on, pal.
Give me something.

You were the only one
who was there.

I told you, Vince,
I didn't get a good look.

It all happened so fast.
Well, we know the kid was either

from the Junior High
or the High School.

and was headed home on foot.

When the boys in the lab bring
down the handprint I.D. unit

we'll get going door-to-door.

I'll find this kid.

Can we grab a bite before we start?

[sighs]

[Annie] I get the feeling this was
not just some minor accident.

Those plant security guys
were out there.

This has got to be something big.

It wasn't my fault.

They'll blame you.
Adults always do.

He's right.
We can't tell anyone

until this whole thing dies down.

I'm really hungry.
Ray, can I have some chips?

How can you think of
eating at a time like this?

Wow!

- Hi, honey.
- Hi.

How was your day?

Good, good.
At the end of the day

they announced some kind
of major security alert.

Did the kids mention anything
about a truck accident near school?

I haven't even seen the girls.

Maybe they're out back.
I'll go check.

[glass clatters]

Well, you're not glowing anymore.

You're starting to look
like yourself again.

Maybe it was just a
temporary thing, huh?

Yeah, maybe.

Where did Alex go?

[gurgling]

Ray?
Uh... I think that's her!

Yeah, right.
Stop it, Annie, really.

[Alex's voice echoing]
What's happening?

- Make her stop, Annie!
- Alex, stop chasing him.

- [knocking on door]
- [Dad] Kids, are you in there?

[Annie]
Alex? Hide!

Go find a place.
Ray... don't say a word.

Right.

Oh! Hi, Dad. What's up?

Hi, Annie, am I glad to see you.

Hey, Ray.

- Have you kids seen Alex?
- Alex? No.

She stayed late after school

to try out for the basketball team.
Right, Ray?

Right.

I didn't know she liked basketball.

Neither did I.
She's full of surprises lately.

Well, as long as you
know where she is.

Uh, what's Raymond
doing here without her?

Oh, he's helping me
with a new science project.

I'm trying to adjust
his molecular structure

to change him into a human puddle.

As long as you clean up
the mess afterwards.

Okay.

Alex, come out.

Annie!
Bring me my clothes.

[sirens blaring]

[sirens continuing]

I don't know, Annie.
Maybe I should tell Dad.

He can take me to the plant
and they can give me an antidote.

No, no way. My guess is
that whatever doused you

is illegal and majorly top secret.

And if you go public,
Dad could lose his job.

- Or worse.
- Worse?

I'd say Danielle Atron
and her security guys

never let you see
the light of day again.

They're going to cut you up
put you under a microscope

and examine you like
a frog in biology class.

I bet your brain'll end up
in a jar of formaldehyde.

Ray, go back to the accident site
and see what you can find.

Right.

We do this block and
then another three.

I want to cover this entire
neighborhood by nightfall.

Don't worry, Vince.

Even if I don't recognise the kid
he'll probably recognize me.

[Vince]
All we need is for the kid

to stick his hand in this handprint
I.D unit and we'll nail him.

[Vince chuckling]

- [knocking on door]
- What's wrong?

Plant security is going door-to-door.

They have this thing you stick
your hand in that can identify you.

- You're in big trouble.
- If they see me like this, I'm dead.

you two, calm down.
We'll make sure they don't find you.

- Let's go chance your clothes.
- Okay.

Well, you can forget that.

They're heading for
your house right now.

Alex... you're going to
have to liguify again.

This time, maybe if you
concentrate harder

you can transform
your clothes, too.

But what if I can't reform again?

And I'm destined to live
the rest of my life as a... puddle.

Would that be such a loss?
I'm just kidding.

Look, you did it once,
you can do it again.

Ray. Ray!

Go home and if they
come to your house

just try not to say
anything too stupid.

Ready? Go for it.

Give me a sec, then follow me.

Sorry, Alex.
That... won't work.

[Alex's voice eching] Oh, no,
now what am I supposed to do?

You're going to have to
go through the plumbing.

- The plumbing? No way!
- You've got no choice.

Somehow you've got to
get to the upstairs bathroom.

[doorbell ringing]

Is that all you have to say to me?

Good luck!

- [doorbell ringing]
- Oh, Mom, I'll get it.

Thanks.

Oh, Annie? This is Vince
and Dave from the plant

and they just want to
ask you a couple of questions.

Sweetheart.

Do you know where you were
at 3:00 this afternoon?

"Sweetheart?"
I don't even know you.

I, uh... apologize.

I was in my advanced
placement chemistry class

working on a gravity
waves experiment.

[gurgling, wailing]

And your other daughter?

Well, I haven't seen her.
She stayed late at school.

- She ought to be home by now.
- I saw her, Dad.

She said she was
going to go upstairs.

[gurgling, screaming]

Well, why don't we check on that?

Wait, guys,
she's my daughter.

I'll go-- if she's there
I'll bring her down.

You do that.

[gurgling]

Alex? Are you there?

[knocking]

Alex?
Well, here you are.

- I didn't see you come in.
- I said "hi," I thought you heard me.

Do you know anything about
an accident near school today?

An accident? Nope.

Good.
I need you downstairs

to tell a couple of people that.

I was upstairs doing my homework.

That should do it,
so if you don't mind...

we'd like to eat our dinner.

After the girls have their
handprints recorded, Mr. Mack.

So that we know
they've been checked out.

And now the younger one.

Go on.

- [metallic rattling]
- Oh, no! I'm sorry.

We have another one in the car.

Excuse me?
Is that your vehicle rolling away?

I'm really worried, Annie.

The plant won't stop
until they find me.

Between my brains and your
powers that won't be too easy.

Everything has changed, Alex.
You were just this average kid

headed for this life of
inconsequence and boredom.

And now, look at you.

I can tell you one thing.

My second day of Junior High
will be a lot different than my first.

I bet we make the cover
of scientific America one day.

You would have made it
by yourself, eventually.

Don't worry,
I'll take all the credit.

Goodnight, Alex.

Goodnight, Annie.

[zapping]

- Alex!
- [Alex giggling]

[burglar alarm sounding]

- [dog barking]
- [many burglar alarms sounding]

[burglar alarms continuing]

Have a good night's sleep, kid.
You won't have many more.

You've slipped through
my fingers for now.

But tomorrow is another day.
