All language subtitles for Secret World of Alex Mack, The - S1E06 - Science Fair [BloodLogic]

Would you want to grow up here?
I have to.

I'm Alex Mack.

I was just an average kid
until my first day of Junior High.

One minute I'm walking home,
the next, there's a crash

and I'm drench in some weird chemical.

And since then...
nothing's been the same.

My best friend Ray
think it's cool.

And my sister Annie
thinks I'm a science project.

I can't let anyone else find out.

Not even my parents.

I know the Chemical Plant
wants to find me

and turn me into some experiment.

But you know something?

I'm guess I'm not so average anymore.

Junior High is just like I expected.

They take a bunch of
open-minded 12-year-olds

and turn them into rigid
or wellian humanoids.

Didn't do so well
on the science test?

I got a "C".

This whole grading system
needs an overhaul.

- I got a B-minus.
- Is that cool or what?

B-minus?

That's something
to be excited about?

Alex, in our
win-at-all-costs society

- a B-minus is below average.
- No, Nicole, "C" is average.

Oh, so now I'm average?

Nicole, when your sister's
a genius it's hard to get noticed.

A B-minus will at least
get me noticed.

I know, I know.
It looks fabulous.

Mom, Dad,
wait till you hear my news.

Alex, wait, listen to this.

Annie's project was chosen
as a finalist for the Science Fair.

- Can you believe it?
- Of course I can believe it.

Congratulations, Annie.
Again.

- Thanks.
- This year, the Plant is offering

a $5,000 college scholarship
to the winner.

Some Savvy P.R.
thought up by you-know-who.

Annie's project's already
considered the front-runner.

Don't forget about
Carlton Hendy's project, Dad.

So, what scientific frontier
have you conquered now, Annie?

You know, my design
construction and operation

of a continuous-pulsed
ion beam accelerator.

Oh...
Alex, be careful!

Oh, Alex, what is it
you wanted to show us?

Oh, never mind, it was nothing.

Okay.
Um, Alex?

Listen, don't make
any plans for Saturday.

We're going to the Plant
and root Annie on.

The Plant?

- The fair's being held at the Plant?
- Uh-huh.

Um, Mom,
Alex doesn't have to come.

I'm sure she's sick
of witnessing my triumphs.

I am. I really am.

Don't be silly.
We Macks are a team.

You'll do something
great someday, Alex.

And when you do
we'll all be there to support you.

[Annie] Look, Alex, this is not
my fault that Mom and Dad

are making such
a big deal out of this.

Come on, Annie.
You're like little miss perfect.

Compared to you

I'm this insignificant...
insect or something.

Get over it, Alex.
Stop being so jealous.

I don't want to go.

[door opening]

Come on, Alex.

We're leaving for the Plant
in half an hour.

I can't, Mom,
I feel really sick.

I don't know what it is.

Look, Alex
what's going on here?

You feeling a little envious
of your sister?

- I am, but that's not it.
- Well, you feel fine to me.

Well, my throat's really sore
and I have a bad headache.

We'll take your temperature.

- Say "ah."
- Ah.

- You look lovely, Annie.
- Thanks.

Your father is so excited.

You know, there's a chance
that I might not win.

I heard that Carlton's project
is pretty amazing.

We heard that, too,
but you know what?

No matter what happens
we are so proud of you.

Alex, put that in your mouth.

I really don't see
why Alex has to go.

It's my project.
I could care less if...

That's not the point.

I'm sure, in her heart Alex wants
to be there to support you.

Alex, I saw that.

- I don't know what happened.
- You broke the thermometer.

I thought you were too old
to fake being sick

but I guess I was wrong.

Get out of bed, get dressed.

We're going to the Plant
and we'll have fun.

[whispering]:
Nice try.

[man over P.A.]
Students and parents

welcome to the Ninth Annual
Paradise Valley Science Fair.

Please sign in at the front desk.

Collect your badges
at the information desk

located in front
of the Paradise Valley...

Annie, I'm really scared.

You should be.
Don't do anything stupid in there.

- I won't.
- [boy] Annie!

[laughing]

Annie Mack!

- Another battle.
- Carlton.

You know, I heard about
your ion beam accelerator.

Of course, you realize
you have no chance

against my transmission
of holographic interferometry

refraction index changes.

Just like you, Carlton,
to pick a real crowd-pleaser.

From what I hear
your methodology is flawed

and your inconclusive results
stem from the weaknesses

in the experimental design.

But maybe the judges won't notice.

- And where did you hear that?
- It's a small town.

Oh, Carlton,
this is my little sister Alex.

Well, Alex, allow me
to apologize ahead of time

for whipping your older sister's butt.

Hello.

[Mrs Mack]
Hey, come on, kids

I want you to say
hello to Miss Atron.

No!
The place is crawling with kids.

Yes, Miss Atron.

Everything's going just
the way we wanted it to.

Hello, Bonnie.

Barbara.

Oh, of course,
how could I forget?

You remember, uh, my daughters.
This is Alex.

Oh, hello, Alex.

You know, the Plant
is looking for you.

What do you mean?

I mean that you obviously come

from a family with
a strong science background.

We always have
our eyes and ears open

- for the next Gary Mock.
- George.

Mack. Um...
This is our oldest daughter, Annie.

She has a project
in the competition.

Oh, this is Annie.

Hello, it is so good to meet you.

I have heard so much about you
and your project.

What a pleasure.

Alex Mack.

Annie Mack.

Try to calm down a bit.

- I am calm.
- You don't look it.

Will you relax, Annie?

You're the big shot
getting all the attention.

Personally, I hope your ironic
beam accelerator is a big flop.

Ladies and gentlemen
can I have your attention, please?

Miss Danielle Atron.

Ladies and gentlemen welcome.
As the head

of a corporation which prides itself

in always looking
towards the future...

the only person who has
a remote chance of beating me

- is Annie Mack.
- And I'm sick of that happening.

I'm going to make sure
it doesn't happen again.

[Miss Atron] In a few moments
we'll open up the exhibition room

and take a look
at the exceptional work

which these children
have produced.

It gives me such a sense of...

[beeping]

[door clicking open]

[beeping]

[door clicking open]

[beeping]

[zapping]

Hey, what do you
think you're doing?

That's my sister's.

[alarm blaring]

I think I just realized
you didn't wish me luck.

Are you nervous?

Whoa!

Alex, what did you do to it?

Nothing, Annie, it was Carlton.

He was trying to push it off
and I tried to save it.

I was just outside with Carlton
when the alarms were going off.

I know, 'cause...

Alex wouldn't do
something this destructive.

Have you ever seen her
so jealous before?

She's been trying
to sabotage this all along.

That's not true,
it was an accident, I swear.

- What does it mean?
- We're not sure yet.

The alarms indicate
that a level of GC-161

was released somewhere inside.

We'll have each individual perp
walk through the as-4000 detector.

As they pass through, bang!
A full-body chemical analysis

over the screen.

- I want guards at every door.
- Already done, Miss Atron.

I'm sure we can remount it.

We're not allowed to work
on them once they're here.

- Well, they can make an exception.
- [pounding]

[Vince] Visitors.
We have a problem.

The alarms that you hear
were caused

by a significant
grade "C" chemical reaction

obviously provoked by this accident.

What? My project couldn't have
caused any chemical reations.

I don't know what it can be.

But as long as no one's in danger...

...we're setting up
a testing facility

to see if anybody has
been contaminated.

If so, we'll give them a simple
antidote and everything will be fine.

Thank you.

Vince, Vince,
uh, George Mack, sector "C".

My daughter's project fell.

Can we have a few minutes
to put it back up

from one plant family
member to another?

[laughs]
Absolutely not.

Please exit quickly, Mr. Mock.

Excuse me.

If if you keep your mouth shut
about this maybe, just maybe

your daddy will keep his job.

I'm sure my aunt Danielle
would see to it.

[Annie] Whatever you have
to say, Alex, say it fast.

Right now, I'm ready
to serve you up

to Danielle Atron myself.

Annie, please believe me.
It was Carlton.

I couldn't say this
in front of Mom and Dad

but when I came in
and I saw him trying

to push your project off
the table, I used my powers

to keep it from crashing
to the ground.

In here?
After I warned you?

It was a reflex.
While I held it in the air he snuck out.

Then when the alarms went off

I lost my concentration
and it feel.

I don't buy it, Alex.

Why were you in the exhibition room
in the first place?

When Carlton started talking
about your project I got curious.

I know what it seems like, Annie
but can't you forget about it?

What's going on happen
when I walk through that?

It will probably make you
Danielle Atron's private experiment

which is no problem for me.

That project to took
two years to build.

We've come full circle, Vince.

The kid came back to us.

Obviously a desperate cry
for help, Miss Atron.

Once we're made a positive I.D.

How do we proceed?

It could be traumatic for his family

but there are two ways
to approach them

to ensure cooperation.
One: kindness...

two: money.

I find the latter
usually the most effective.

The important thing is,
is that the child is here

and no one is getting out.

Ladies and gentlemen, we ask
that you line up single file

and go through our system
one at a time.

After this is over
there will be cookies and milk

back in the exhibition room.

Hi... I heard what your sister
did to your entry.

Whew, it's nasty,
this sibling rivalry, huh?

Tough break, though.

Looks like my project,
flawed methodology and all

is going to win.
[chuckles]

[hum]

[mechanical voice]
Status: negative.

[bell rings]

[bell rings]

- This is bad.
- I know it's bad.

Do you swear it was Carlton
that tried to sabotage my project?

Annie, I swear.
If I wanted to do it

why didn't I do it at home?

My trying to save
your project started this.

Look, he's Danielle's nephew.

- Of course he'd do something like this.
- He is?

[Vince] You two girls
talking get back in line.

Get over there.

[whispering] Okay, this is
what we're going to do.

[mechanical voice]
Status: negative.

[bell rings]

- [hum]
- [bell rings]

George. Guess I passed.

[hum]

- Oh! Me too!
- [bell rings]

[hum]

[alarm ringing]

[mechanical voice]
Status: positive, statue: positive.

Grab that kid.

Hey, what are you doing?
Let me go!

I create with these hands!

Shut down the alarms.
Lock the door.

We have the kid.

[zapping]

[buzzing]

I know how you must feel

about what happened
to your ptoject.

We don't have to stay around
for the judging.

No, I'll stay.

I'm just hoping
somebody beats Carlton.

[Mrs Mack]
I kind of feel sorry for him.

You saw what happened
when he went into that detector?

- I hope he's okay.
- I'm sure he's okay.

[singing quietly]

So, seems like you're the one
we've been waiting for, Carlton.

This test will only take a minute.

Ooh, I can imagine your fear, Carlton.

But that's all over with now.

- You're in good hands.
- [humming and beeping]

Hello.
Good to see you.

Bad news, Miss Atron,
it's not him.

Hello, sir.

Very impressive,
Mr. Hendy, as usual.

Huh, do I, uh, at least
get extra points

for the abominable way
I've been treated so far?

No. Are you sure
that this limited a response

- can prove out your theory?
- [snorts] Very sure.

We'll see.

I understand your project met
with some misfortune earlier.

Yes, there was an accident.

Everything seems
to be in order now.

I guess it wasn't
as bad as it looked.

Can you tell me what's
the most important thing

You learned doing this?

Everything I learned
through the project

has given me greater understanding

of the atom and its infinite
uses for humankind.

Very well said, Miss Mack.

[softly] And that my sister
is full of surprises.

And the winner of the
Ninth Annual Science Fair is...

Annie Mack and
her ion beam accelerator.

[cheering and applause]

Go, go, go!

[camera shutters whirring]

[both giggling]

Oh, I'm sorry
about your project, Annie.

It doesn't matter.
I got the trophy!

- Now can we get out of here?
- Yeah.

[giggling]

[zapping]

[sighs and sniffles]

[Annie] Couldn't have
done it without you, Alex.

That's true.

It still wasn't the smartest thing
to do putting yourself at risk

so I could win first prize.

Nothing happened, did it?

You're not going to
hold this against me?

After all the work I did?
No way.

Good for you.
Maybe you're actually maturing.

[laughing]

You're dead.
