Max Steel (2013–2015): Season 1, Episode 4 - Cleaning House - full transcript

Max's mother, using her maiden name, became CEO of the high tech company and plans to stop all devilish research programs, leading to the evil genius's dismissal and eviction from his lab. But he still manages to release a neuro-gas which turns inhaling staff into aggressive zombies. Only Max's Steel suit protects him, unlike mother and visiting buddy. He almost turns the tables on the mad scientist.

What do ya think?

I think it's quiet...
Too quiet.

How can something
be too quiet?

Quiet is good,
quiet is peaceful.

Quiet is bad!

Bad! Bad!

[fighting noises]

We wouldn't happen to have
a turbo ninja defense mode,

Would we?

No.

In that case...
Go turbo strength!



[fighting noises]

Ha ha!

Piece of cake.

I hope you're in the mood
for seconds.

Actually, I just lost
my appetite.

[loud roar]

[fighting grunts]

Any last words?

Yeah, this is a really
disgusting way to go.

[fighting grunts]

Clear the chatter, focus
on the enemy.

Whoa!

I...

Nice job.



You're both dead.

[chuckles]

Killed by a sewer monster...

Embarrassing!

Not as embarrassing as your
hairdo, berto.

Hey!

Max, steel... You have
to do better.

You need to use your heads
not just your powers.

Think on your feet,
be resourceful,

Use the environment
to your advantage.

I hear you uncle ferrus, and
thinking on my feet now,

I gotta go!

I'm late for lunch with
kirby and syd... And mom.

You know how she can get.

I do indeed.

Get outta here.

Thanks uncle ferrus,
and good luck.

Good luck?

With what?

With this...

Ahh!

Ha! Ahhhh!!!

[laughing]

Let's go turbo!

I'm max mcgrath.
Here's my buddy steel.

Yeah, he's an alien.
I generate the power,

Steel has the alien tech
to control it.

Together we combine
into awesome turbo modes.

We take on the bad guys
and save the world.

You know, hero stuff.

We are max steel.

Clean, clean, clean...

Must be bright,
shiny and clean.

The new ceo of thi wants
to meet with me today.

The previous regime never
acknowledged my genius!

But at last, I'm getting
the recognition

I so richly deserve.

Titus octavius xander,

Things are certainly
looking up!

Doctor xander,

While your work in environmental
science has been intriguing,

Your methods have been
reckless, ill advised

And downright dangerous.

Dangerous?

Ill-advised?

How dare you accuse me of...

Doctor xander, shouldn't we do
this with a mechanical arm?

Nonsense!

From a safe distance?

You're perfectly safe.

Now go on, pour the uranium
into the vat.

Uh oh... Doctor!

Help!

Oh, the horror!

Oh god!

[screams]
ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

What?

That?

She was just an intern and I
learned so much from that...

We do not sacrifice interns
here at thi doctor xander.

Thank goodness she's okay.

Your own colleagues
describe you

As increasingly
unstable, obsessed.

They say you talk
to a goldfish.

What?

Why, that's madness.

Yes... Madness.

Doctor xander, I'm sorry but...

You can't fire me!

I gave this place my genius

And this is how you repay me?

I'll be back!

Oh wow, and I thought this
trip was gonna be boring.

Oh!

Uh, kids... Welcome to thi.

Thanks again for inviting us
here ms. Mcgrath.

My pleasure sydney.

This place is awesome,

You have the coolest
job in the world!

Oh, I don't know
about that kirby.

Since I took over and
started cleaning house,

I've been discovering all
kinds of unsavory experiments

And initiatives.

Oh no, not again!

Like I said, awesome!

I must admit, it's
rather nice to be here

Without fear of
being incorporated

Into some kind of genocidal
doomsday device.

I'll say!

Huh?

You'll say what?

Uh, I'll say that you...

Sure do look nice
today, sydney!

Oh, thanks max.

So uh, who was that guy

They were dragging out
of your office, mom?

Doctor xander?

A research scientist
gone bad.

He was supposed to develop a
formula that could eradicate

Every type of pollutant
known to man.

But instead, he created
potions more dangerous

Than any pollutant
could ever be.

Anyway, he's gone now.

Perfectly clean...

Hah!

They dare throw me
out of my own lab.

They dare call me mad!

They're the mad ones.

Absolutely!

Our work's never been
reckless or dangerous.

Never!

Well... Not much.

And our work, our work is
to defeat the pollutants, yes?

To neutralize the toxic,
to clean...

Exactly so!

To clean the filth,
to purify the putrid...

The fools!

They can't stop our work.

Together we will cleanse
the world!

And let's begin by scouring thi

Off the face of the planet.

Yes, yes!

I quite like that idea.

And over here

Is our new research
and development wing.

Thi used to be all
about making money,

But now thi is all
about using technology

To make the world
a better place.

Wow, that is great ms. M.

So great in fact, that
I'd like to volunteer

My time and services to
your video game division!

The technology in my little
finger is more advanced

Than this entire facility.

You don't have fingers!

My point exactly.

You feel free to continue
on this snooze-o-rama,

I'm going to explore.

Have you blown a fuse?

We can't split here,
kirby and syd see.

I'm bored to tears!

Either I go investigate

Or I practice my
bombilating vocalizations.

Your bomba-what?

My humming.

Please stop.

[humming]

Steel... Steel, stop it!

[alarm wailing]

What's going on?

Perhaps I should go find
out, hmm?

Hmm?

Hmm?

That's our chemical
hazard alarm.

There must've been a breach.

Breach?

Containment failure, toxic
venting, chemical seepage...

Nothing good.

Uh... I suddenly feel itchy?

Communications are offline.

Come on, I need to get you
kids outta here.

Come on itchy,
let's get outta here!

Whoa, wait up!

All right sir hum-a-lot.

Go find out what's going on.

Finally, some action!

Oh!

Pardon me miss, do
you happen to know

Where I might find the "off"
switch for this infernal alarm?

Hello?

Come on kids, let's go.

Everybody out!

Yaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Okay, get back everyone!

It smells awful!

Try not to breathe
any of it in.

Uh... Is anyone else
feeling itchy?

What is going on here?

Excuse me, are you okay?

[screaming]

Mutants!

Not mutants, more like...
Zombies!

But seriously candy,

It's amazing you keep this
figure with all that junk food

You ingest.

Candy!

Ahh!

[groaning]

Ahh!

[groaning]

[fighting grunts]

[groaning]

Phew.

[fighting grunts]

Don't worry, nothing else is
going to go wrong.

You've got to be kidding me!

Uh, auxiliary power
will kick in any minute.

Mom...

I can see if steel can
open the exit door,

Or if worse comes to worst, I
can just punch our way out.

No, the doors are down
for a reason.

Whatever the breach,
it can't be allowed

To get out into the city.

The toxins must be contained
inside thi.

We'll have to do what we can
from this side.

Syd, you okay?

I'm okay.

Auxiliary power is up!

Still no network access,

But I think I can at least
cycle the upper vent shut.

Whoo!

Nice work, mom.

That should buy us
some time.

Now to figure out
what's causing this mess.

Where's itchy?

Itchy?

Oh, hey itchy!

Over here.

Kirby?

[growls]

Look out!

Ulgh!

Okay, everyone stay calm.

Mom!

[groaning]

Max, here!

Everybody all right?

I mean, except for kirby.

Ahh!

[groaning]

Those doors won't
hold forever.

We need to figure out
why this is happening.

See if steel can get to the
mainframe on the lower level

And get the computers
back online.

We'll have to head up to
the monitoring station.

Through the hallways
with the walkers?

Ugh...

You hear that steel?

We are linked, are we not?

[groaning]

Oh no!

[groaning]

Sorry about this, kirb.

Hey bucket-head, any luck?

I'm stuck in traffic
at the moment.

Why didn't somebody tell me
it was zombie rush hour?

[groaning]

Steel to monkey-boy.

Mainframe sighted, over.

Well hello dolly.

Maxwell?

Abra cadabra!

Yes!

It looks like the gas
is dissipating

In the upper levels,

But it's still thick as pea
soup in the lower ones.

And that's not all...

Remember the doctor xander
fellow we met earlier today?

According to thi's rather
grumpy mainframe...

[in unison] xander's lab is
the only one in the building

That still has full power!

Is there an echo in here?

Testing, testing, 1 -- 2.

Oh no, the computer analysis
of the purple gas...

It corresponds exactly
with what doctor xander

Had been working on.

Wait, are you saying he did
this on purpose?

Uh huh.

But how does something like
that do something like this?

[groans]

Xander's formula was designed
to break down toxins

At the cellular level.

It dissolves chemical bonds,
feeds on particulate matter,

Re-sequences gasses
and toxins.

If the potion had been stable,

If xander had been stable,

It could've been used
to combat just about

Any form of pollution.

But unleashed on human beings...

Breaks down neural inhibitors,

Feeds on the parasites within
us that keep us alive.

I gotta get down
to xander's lab,

Find some sort of antidote.

You guys will be safe here,

Just make sure to keep the
door locked once I'm out.

Okay?

[groans]

Mom? Sydney?

No!

[fighting grunts]

Hey machine-man,

Sydney and mom are zombies!

Where are ya?

The lower level, it's
apparently the place to be!

On my way.

I advise you to take
the express route...

Maintenance chute coming
up on your left.

Got it!

Thanks for dropping in.

Thanks for having me.

[groaning]

Shall we?

Let's!

Go turbo!

[moaning and groaning]

That's better.

[groaning]

You know, for a bunch
of innocent people

That don't know what
they're doing...

They sure are good at doing it!

Oh, oomph! Oomph!!

If only we could
just blast them...

That's not such a bad idea.

Come on! Off!!!!

On, off... Make up your mind
already!

Now, nice and easy.

We don't wanna hurt them.

Turbo pulse!

[groaning]

Nicely done partner.

Now, let's go plug
that leak.

Is that enough do you think?

Maybe a touch more,
for good measure.

Doctor xander, what do you
think you're doing here?

This is my lab,
where else would I be?

What are you doing here?

Whoever you are...

You've toxically poisoned
everyone in this building.

Everyone!

Excellent!

Hand over the antidote,
xander.

I... Don't think I will.

Oh!

No, fishy!

No! No!

Fishy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look what you've done!

I'm coming fishy,
I'll save you!

[fighting noises]

Whoa!

Whoa!

I'm coming fishy!

Wait xander, stop!

[struggling grunts]

Uh... What just happened?

I don't know.

But if I ever start
acting like that,

Promise you'll deactivate me.

He's gotta have his antidote
formula here somewhere.

Oh no, not another sewer
monster!

That ain't your uncle forge's
sewer monster.

Doctor xander?

You... Hurt... Fishy!

What happened to him?

What have you done to me?

I'm soiled!

You are a stain on
the fabric of my life!

A stain that I shall
now remove!

Man, all this over a fish?

I think he's overreacting.

My job, my work...
My fishy!

You will pay!

Since when could he do that?

Since he went for a swim
in that toxic soup.

[grunts]

Does he look bigger to you?

Nothing escapes your
keen eye.

Do I even wanna know
what this gunk is?

No.

Whoa!!!!!!!!

You did this to me!

I am dirty, filthy, toxic!

And I'm max steel,
nice to meet you toxon.

[fighting grunts]

And here I thought we were
gonna be friends.

[fighting noises]

[laughs]

[fighting grunts]

You're just full of surprises.

Perhaps it's time we show him
a surprise of our own.

Sounds like a plan.

Go turbo strength!

He's as strong as he smells!

And believe it or not,
he's even stronger.

I'm going to make you
what you made me!

No thanks.

If I can't be clean,
no one will be clean!

I promise not to
shower tonight!

This is a really disgusting
way to go.

Ferrus was right,

We should've trained more,
learned to think on our feet.

That's it!

Our feet, look at your feet!

Everybody into the pool.

How about a shower instead?

Ugh,

Blah, that was even grosser
than I thought it would be.

Now for that antidote.

No luck, all the files
are encrypted.

I know, I can make one!

It's simply a matter of finding
the toxins'

Neutralizing agent.

I just hope all the
ingredients are here.

That should just
about do it.

All right, here goes...

Is it working?

Something's missing...

Toxon's catalyst, the chemical
key to his concoction.

But where would stinky-face
keep it?

Fishy?

Fishy!

Houston, we have antidote.

Yes!

[groans]

All toxins have been
neutralized.

Then open sesame!

What happened?

Ahh!

[screams]

Awesome job buddy,
let's cart that creep away.

Uh... Oh.

Max?

What?

Uh oh.

Is everyone okay?

Yeah.

Uh huh.

I'm feeling kinda... Hungry!

Weren't we supposed
to get lunch?

[laughing]

And once again
steel saves the day,

And the crowd goes wild!

Haaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

I give them my genius and
this is how they repay me?

Unconscionable!

They haven't heard the last
of titus octavius xander!

They haven't heard
the last of toxon!

No... They haven't.

[evil laughter]
