All language subtitles for Secret World of Alex Mack, The - S1E07 - False Alarms [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.

So, clearly, whoever pulled
that fire alarm last week

when there was no fire commited
a very serious offense.

That's right, Miss Hamilton.

You know, it's not only stupid
and illegal, it's dangerous.

Now will be a good time
to talk about fire prevention.

[Miss Hamilton] Please remove
those bracelets, Miss Flanders.

This is history class,
not band practice.

Now, what is your question?

I was hoping we could see
Firefighter Pruitt's helmet.

Of course.

Okay, fire prevention.

Let's talk about outlets...

extension cords, flammable liquids...

heaters, waste baskets...
axes, axes...

Axes... extension cords...

gasoline... nitro...

Fire!

[screaming]
I'll get the fire extinguisher!

[alarm ringing]

Wait! The door is stuck!

Let me try, it's my job.

[gasps]

[both screaming]

Alex?

Back away, everyone,
I'll get this under control.

Go for it, Alex!

I'm just doing what anyone else
would do if they were me.

Wow.

Miss Mack, you're... you're...

You're a hero, is what you are.

It was nothing.

I think you deserve
this more than me.

For her courage
in the face of real danger.

Ms. Mack.
Her selfless act of bravery.

Ms. Mack.
Her unrivaled...

Ms. Mack, Ms. Mack.
Ms. Mack?

Miss Mack?

Ms. Mack! Alexandra.

I think Firefighter Pruitt
might like her helmet back.

[class snickering]

Thank you.

I think we've learned a lot
about fire safety

and the dangers
of pulling false alarms

from Lieutenant Pruitt.

Let's all thank her for being here.

- [applause]
- Oh, and by the way, class

our first mid-term exam
will be held next Monday.

[groaning]

That's right, people.

- Yes, Miss Flanders?
- What's a mid-term?

Well, it's an evil plot
to make you learn everything

and I mean everything
we've covered in class so far.

Multiple choice and one
open-book essay question

requiring genuine thought.

Be prepared.

Wow, our first mid-term.

As soon as you get out of
elementary school, it gets ugly.

Well, I think this whole testing
thing is destroying our creativity.

I mean, multiple choice questions?

That's so... retro.

- Hi, Libby.
- Hey.

Um, I really glad you asked
what a mid-term was.

- I wasn't quite so sure myself.
- Actually, I was just kidding.

Jocelyn, Neil, wait up for moi!

What a jerk.

I know, I sounded like a major idiot.

Not you-- Libby.

Really, "Wait up for moi?"
Please!

You guys are just jealous.
She's the most popular girl.

So what?
Popularity is so... retro.

Yeah.

If that's retro,
I want to be retro.

[Libby]
I know it sometimes seems like

I'm not paying attention,
but I am.

I mean, I love history.
It's important to me that I do well.

Really? I had no idea.

The french revolution's so interesting--

the most fascinating
historical event ever.

I agree.

[Libby] I was wondering
is there any additional reading

that might help me prepare
for the mid-term?

Of course there is.

Here's a list of french
revolution- related material.

All of these books are
available in the library.

Great, I was just
on my way there now.

Thanks a lot, Miss Hamilton.

- See you on Monday.
- Thank you, Libby. Good luck.

Mr. Alvarado, perhaps you
should consider putting in

the same sort of effort
that Miss Flanders is.

Hey, Libby, wait up.

- What's up, Rodney?
- That's Raymond and you dropped this.

Yeah, so?

Don't you need it
to do additional reading?

I got plans tonight.
Reading will interfere with them.

But I thought you...

Could I make it any clearer to you?

[rock music playing]

Alex seems pretty worried.

Of course she's worried.
She's never had a mid-term before.

I remember my first mid-term.
Miss Boarcow, chem 101.

I committed the periodic table
of elements to memory

by giving it a Melody.

For my first mid-term
you taught it to me.

Hey... [humming]

Hydrogen, helium,
lithium, beryllium

Boring, carbon, nitrogen

[inhaling] Oxygen!

So of course you both aced it.

Uh, Miss Boarcow graded
on the curve.

The other kids never forgave me
for getting all the answers.

I know the feeling.
Genius can be lonely.

Alex is keeping up.
Don't you think?

[Annie] Mom, if she doesn't
know the material by now

it's probably hopeless.

Flashcards are
excellent learning tools.

- I'll help her prepare some.
- No, leave her alone.

You two are just going
to make her more nervous.

[Alex] 1792, the Reign of Terror,
Madame Guillotine--

Oh, why do I feel like
I'm going to be sick?

Relax, Al, it's just a mid-term.

If you're like this now,
how will you be able

to get to-- da-dum--
final exams?

I'll probably
be hospitalized by then.

Ready?

I hate this, ooh, I hate this.

Look at you, look at what
this pressure is doing to us.

It's not right.

Now, this is supposed to be
a safe environment, a community.

We should feel free to risk
to... to grow, to fail.

Do you have to use that word?

Look at Libby Flanders.

Wouldn't it be cool
to be so cool about it all?

I wouldn't be surprised
if she's in an extreme case of denial.

You sure you won't
float the answers

off Miss Hamilton's desk to us?

Right now I'd do almost anything
to get out of taking this thing.

Oh, no!

I forgot my book for the big essay
and my number two pencils.

I'm not cut out for mid-terms.
I'm a wreck!

You should calm down

but you only have 20 seconds
to get to your locker and back.

[alarm ringing]

[alarm continues ringing]

I forgot number two pencils.

And you thought you might
find them at the alarm box.

[alarm ringing]

- Where did Alex go?
- I don't know.

- [alarm stops]
- Is that all you can say for yourself?

It's not how to looks.

I forgot about the open-book essay...

- So you were ill-prepared.
- I forgot my book...

And you decided to delay
the test for everyone else.

No, that's not it.
I was just at my locker...

First, you will complete
you own personal fire drill.

After we go back in
we'll go to the principal's office

and you can explain
the whole thing there.

Miss Hamilton?!

I didn't exactly study,
if you know what I mean.

It really wasn't on
my list of priorities.

We need to talk.

Not now, Alice,
I'm kind of busy here.

That's Alex...
and we really need to talk.

- Guess you forgot something.
- Thanks.

Where did you find it?

- You want a reward?
- A confession.

I found it where you
didn't mean to leave it.

Excuse me?

I was at the wrong place
at the wrong time.

Now Hamilton thinks
I pulled the alarm.

Well, I didn't do anything,
and you can't prove I did.

Wouldn't you rather confess
than have me tell on you?

That was a pretty extreme way
of getting out of a test.

Alex, how can I expect you
to understand?

I choked, plain and simple.

I mean, our first big test,
you know?

Yeah.

Sometimes I wish
I could be more like you.

You wish you could be
more like me?

You're so real.

You don't worry about
being popular and stuff.

- I really admire your courage.
- Courage? Me?

You're the type of person

who stands up for what she
believes and fights for the Underdog.

I could never ask you
to take the fall for me.

[choking up]: That would be
just asking too much.

You're so good
and I deserve what I get.

So go ahead and tell on me, Alex.

I understand.
Go ahead.

[sighs]
I'll see what I can do.

It wasn't me,
but I can't tell you who it was.

I don't know.

I really can't say.

I can't answer that.

I'm going to have to
plead the fifth.

If I have to take the blame...

I will.

[Libby] So, from what I hear,
Alex Mack pulled the alarm.

Miss Goody Two-Shoes
couldn't handle the pressure.

You never expect it--
the quiet ones.

She going to be so busted.

Class, due to
the reprehensible actions

of one of your schoolmates,
who shall remain nameless

I'm postponing your exam
till Friday.

- [cheering]
- Same time, same place...

- twice as hard.
- [groaning]

And we will all look forward
to Miss Mack's

oral report on fires through history.

Extensive library research required.

- [class bell rings]
- Class dismissed.

[Ray]
What is Miss Hamilton talking about?

There's no way
you pulled that thing.

No, but if I have to
take the blame, I will.

- What?!
- Alex... you're the coolest.

- Oh, no, really, I...
- Take it.

- We have to hang out soon.
- Really?

Absolutement.

Libby Flanders?

You're covering up for Libby Flanders?

Why take the fall for such a snoot?

There were...
extentuating circumstances

or whatever you call them.
Libby's actually very nice.

If she had any character
she would turn herself in.

She was going to,
but I wouldn't let her.

It's complicated.
You have to trust me on this.

We trust you.

We just don't trust her.

You can't understand.

I'm just trying to have
a little courage and compassion.

Nothing like courage, compassion...
and instant popularity.

[doorbell ringing]

- Hey, Annie!
- Ray... what are you doing here?

We're going to study.

Big history mid-term coming up.

Yeah, I've heard rumors
to that effect.

Go on up.
She's already up there

- with, uh... Lily Flanders.
- Libby Flanders is up there?!

Forget about it.

[dialing]

Why do I have to call him?

Because he already knows
everyone else's voice.

- [phone ringing]
- I have to hang up.

Oh, come on, don't be a chicken.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Um... hi, uh, Greg?

- Yeah, this is Greg.
- Somebody likes you.

[laughing]

Alex, we are going to have
a lot of fun together.

[girls laughing]

All these dates
swimming through my head.

- History is way too historical.
- It's weird.

I'm not really nervous this time.

I guess my nerves
are already maxed out.

Hey, you guys know
where Alex is?

You would know
better than we would.

I can't believe Alex would makes
friends with such a phony.

See, Libby's got what they call a...
cult of personality.

Those like Alex who are
unsure of themselves

gravitate to people like... her.

I'm going to get some water.

I'll be right back.

- [Libby] It's all set up.
- [girl] Excellent.

It's amazing how you found
such a willing victim.

We just have to figure out
what to do

with all the time
we used to spend studying.

Oh!

[no dialogue]

- Alex, we got to talk to you!
- I have to get my stuff.

Alex, listen.

Want to bet the alarm
goes off during the test?

- Nobody would be that obvious.
- No? How about Libby?

- What are you talking about?
- Listen and listen fast.

I just heard them.

Libby thinks you're a sucker
with a captial "S."

- She's going to pull that alarm.
- No way.

Yes, way.

[alarm ringing]

- Libby?
- Alex!

I can't believe this.

Neither will anyone else.

Sorry, Alex, but you
just made it so easy.

- [zapping]
- Whoa...

Oh... Hey, what is this?!

Alex?!

You might want this back.

Hold it right there,
Miss Flanders!

It wasn't me, I swear.

- It isn't polite to swear.
- It was Alex Mack.

I tried to stop her.

She put that bracelet there
and she's hiding inside that locker.

Open the door, you'll see.

- This doesn't make any sense.
- No, it doesn't.

Miss Hamilton,
I don't know what's going on...

Save it for the principal.
Follow me, young lady.

You can collect your exams
on the way out.

It was almost worth the wait.

You all did quite well for yourselves.

- [class bell rings]
- Nice work.

Nice work, Miss Mack.

My tricks is studying
for the same test three times.

And never mind that oral report.

- I gave it to someone else.
- Is Libby okay?

Punishment can lead to growth.

Libby will be spending a
lot of time in the library.

And maybe you'll think twice
before taking tha fall for someone.

I think I will.

Hate to say we told you so,
Alex, but we told you so.

All right, so she's a slime ball.

[Libby]
Listen, Alex...

you may think you're smart,
but we both know

there's something weird about you.

I don't what it is yet,
but when I do

I promise you, you're dead.

What a delightful girl she is.

And what is she talking about, Alex?

I have no idea.

- [laughing]
- Wait for me.
