Max Steel (2013–2015): Season 1, Episode 5 - Secret Identity Crisis - full transcript

[birds chirping]

Yeah!

Huh?

[siren wailing]

Come on let's go!

Let's go!

Where we going?

Can I drive?

What is that?

I don't know,

But we gotta get outta here!



Floor it!

I am!

Something's holding us back.

Sorry guys,

But you've parked in a
"no armed robbery" zone.

Ooh, I love that.

What is it, cashmere?

Aaaaah!!!!!!!!!

Uh, steel?

A little help?

That's what I'm here for.

Some superhero...

Need a lift?

Whoa!



All yours, boys.

Whoa!

Oops, guess I don't know
my own turbo strength.

I'd say that's our cue
to leave.

Go turbo flight!

Gotta fly,

See you next time citizens!

Once again, the mysterious
max steel has saved the day

And while we may not know who
the man behind the mask is,

We sure are glad he's here.

Ahh yes, here.

And here... And here...

And here... And here.

Max steel certainly
has been busy...

But so have we.

Charting all the recent
max steel sightings,

We reveal one recurring
point of origin.

Copper canyon high school.

This is where we'll find
max steel.

This is where we finish
what we started.

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.

Yeah, it's weird...

I haven't seen kirby either.

I saw him this morning
in french,

But never since then.

What's up guys?

Kirby?

[laughing]

Butch is at it again.

It's not all bad...

Your mom makes
an awesome pb & j.

[alarm wailing]

Whoa, what's that?

I said your mom makes
a great sandwich!

That would be ferrus' ringtone,

I thought it appropriate.

It seems he wants to see us.

Now!

Really?

Wonder why...

I think it's the way
she trims the crust

All the way around.

It's awesome!

Crustless.

Wait, what?

What?

I... I gotta run,
my cat needs some

Uh... Emergency uh...
Dental work.

I'll see ya!

He can be so peculiar
at times.

For reals.

Sorry mister.

Don't mention it,
accidents happen.

Uncle ferrus,
you wanted to see...

Wipe that goofball
grin off your face!

What took you so long?

Uh... We left as soon as steel
got your message.

Oh, so it's your fault,
is it?

I've known toasters
more reliable than you.

I beg your pardon?

Name one!

I've had it with you two.

You need discipline!

I order you to clean
berto's lab and do his laundry.

And while you're at it, make
him a roast beef sandwich,

With extra mayo!

Hold the pickles.

What?

What is going on here?

I don't know, but if I have to
start answering to two of you

I'm outta here.

Berto!

[laughing]

I'm sorry but I had to
test it out.

It's a holo-bot,

I thought it could come in handy
for cloak and dagger stuff.

Pretty cool, no?

Extraordinary!

So lifelike...

A bit too much hair
in the ears though.

Uh... That's the real ferrus.

[chuckles]

Wait, so did you want to see me
or did he want to see me?

Me.

I thought I told you
to keep a low profile.

I know but there was a robbery,

I knew I could help.

Why must they always
get my bad side?

This is serious.

Max, unwanted attention
attracts unwanted trouble.

I had the mask on I just...

I wanted to help, I don't
see what the problem is.

Listen, there's people out
there who are gonna wonder

About max steel, and
even come looking for him.

What happens if they track you
to your house?

What if they find the people
you care about?

Commander?

We've got trouble.

This isn't an n-tek problem,

Alert the copper canyon
fire department.

Sir, it's max's high school.

Syd... Kirby... Uncle ferrus,
I gotta go.

I gotta go!

Max!

Wait...

It'll be faster if
we take the hopper.

Uh, max... Do whatever
you have to.

But, no max steel.

You've been in the public eye
too much already and this...

It's way too close to home.

Okay, understood.

Kirby, where's syd?

I don't know, I
can't find her.

Whoa!

We gonna be okay in there?

The steel suit is fully
operative even in cammo mode,

We're fine.

Syd!

Anyone?

[coughing]

Too much smoke,
we need to get them outside.

Great plan,
except for one thing...

What's that?

Heads up!

[coughing]

Okay, we should
get outta here.

Like ferrus said,
keep a low profile.

Ferrus said no max steel.

I'm in my civilian mode,
I blend.

Blend?

You just kicked a hole
through a concrete wall.

That's a good point.

[coughing]

Need a hand?

Ahh!

Ugh!!

Look!

That young man pulled
that girl from the fire!

Son, you're a hero.

Did I?

I did!

[cheers]
alright butch!

You're a hero!

Once a hero, always a hero.

I found him, I found
max steel.

[cheers]

This is the great max steel.

Who knew someone so young could
wield such power.

But sheer power is of
no consequence if say...

A dose of knockout gas
renders you unconscious.

Why then, you're all mine.

[crash sounds]

[growl]

I mean... Ours.

Now then...

Go fetch.

Man, I can't believe everyone
thinks that mouth breather

Is some kind of hero.

You're overreacting max,
no one thinks he's a...

Can I have your autograph
mr. Butch?

Hey, my dad's mr. Butch.

You can call me mr. Hero.

[giddy]

Regardless, we have
a bigger problem.

My analysis of the fire
indicates it was no accident.

Someone set it.

What?

Who?

Someone with access to high-tech
military grade incendiaries.

Oh no...

Oh yes!

No, no... I mean look.

I can't look,
I'm in a backpack.

Hello!

Oh hey mcgrath!

What'll it be?

Autograph, lock of my hair?

Uh, sydney?

What are you doing?

Having lunch with butch,
why?

Um... But don't we usually
have lunch?

Uh, max?

Yeah, but I just thought
I'd sit with butch today.

Max, really... This
is a wee bit urgent!

I can't believe this.

You also can't take a hint.

Beat it, mcgrath!

Maxwell, there is a bomb
under the table!

What?

I said beat it!

We need to go turbo.

But ferrus said to keep
a low profile.

Now!

Fair enough.

It's turbo time!

What's going on here?

Perhaps I know...

These bots are after butch?

Yeah... And as tempting as
it is to let them have him,

Let's take 'em down!

[fighting grunts]

Oh!

What happened?

Oh... My head.

It was butch, he saved us!

Again!

Yeah... Yeah that's right!

It was all me.

I took down these...
Robot things.

[chanting]
butch! Butch! Butch!

That's max steel!

He must've transformed right
as the bomb went off.

Those dread-bots
didn't stand a chance.

Of course they didn't.

I'm sorry, sir.

Yes you are.

Sorry, pathetic man!

Aaahhhh!!!!!

And now that I have
been reconstituted...

Uh, thanks to...

I will see to taking max steel

And all the turbo energy
he possesses, personally.

This is so awesome!

I love half-days.

Yeah, if only killer
robots would attack

Our cafeteria more often.

[nerdy laugh]

What do you think?

The fire, the gas bomb,

And as butch so
elegantly put it,

The "robot things"...

I think something's up.

But what?

Whatever it is, butch seems
to be at the very center.

Yeah, and he's the center
of attention too.

Ah, ah, ah!!

Gotta get him
somewhere isolated,

Somewhere where there aren't
so many people.

Hmm... You mean like not on
a school bus full of students?

Hey, butch.

You again, mcgrath?

What are you,
my biggest fan?

Look, this might sound weird

But you gotta get
off this bus, man.

Something's not right.

Everything seems right
to me?

No, no I mean it.

You're in danger.

In danger for stealing
your girl cry-baby?

Listen, butch.

You need to get off
this bus, okay?

Now.

Do you understand?

Hey max, hey butch.

Yeah, I understand perfectly.

Man, the dumb galute
won't listen.

I've run a complete
diagnostic on the bus

And there's nothing
out of the ordinary.

Yeah... Maybe as long as
we keep moving

We'll be okay.

[explosion]

Whoa!

Dread?

Ugh!

Hello kiddies!

[gasps]

No way, dread?

But... But dread's dead.

If so, he looks
remarkably well.

It's over.

Come quietly and I'll allow
your classmates to live.

You've lost, butch.

Huh?

You do remember these,
don't you?

Ahh!

What is this?

You said you've found him!

I did, that is him.

That's max!

Did you say max?

That's max!

Right over there.

Max mcgrath.

Mcgrath?

As in jim and marley mcgrath,

Former n-tek agents,
pioneers of turbo energy?

How could you have been
so blind, nort?

It's obvious!

Yes... You do look like
your father.

Oh... Little max mcgrath.

Or should I say max steel?

Aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

[screams]

Max!

Or not.

Dread!

[gasps]

Would you care to step
outside?

By all means.

Ralgh!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought we settled this.

Remember when I overloaded
you with turbo energy

And you exploded
into a zillion pieces?

Ulgh!

But hey, if you want a
repeat performance...

No prob!

[fighting grunts]

There'll be no repeating
what happened last time.

Aaargh!!!!

Ugh!

I've made some modifications
to my battle suit...

Now there's no such thing
as too much turbo energy.

[laughing]

Yes!

[fighting grunts]

I can handle all that
you have and more!

[fighting grunts]

Let him go!

Hmm... This kitten's
got claws.

[screams]

Ugh!

No!

Wait a minute!

He'll only get stronger.

We need a new strategy.

Your mine now max steel!

[fighting grunts]

I'm open to suggestions.

Aaargh!

If you can't get him close
he can't power up.

What do you say steel,
up for some heavy lifting?

Oh, absolutely.

Go turbo strength!

[fighting grunts]

[laughing]

[fighting grunts]

Whoa!

[fighting grunts]

He's too powerful!

Turbo fight!

Wait, I thought the point
was not to use

Turbo energy on him.

Who said we're using
it on him?

Okay.

You missed, max!

No, no he didn't.

[fighting grunts]

No!

Ahh!

Whoa!!!

If max can be a hero,
so can I.

I'm getting us out of here.

Raaargh!!!!!

Out of ammo?

What a shame.

Fortunately I have tons.

Oh no!

Hold on!

Oops!

[chanting]
kirby! Kirby! Kirby!

It's over, dread.

It's not over!

Don't you realize,

Now I know who you are.

Max mcgrath.

Is it true?

Is that really you
in there max?

Whoo!

Now, that was
one long schlep.

How?

Who am I supposed
to be again?

Don't move!

[evil laughter]

Ah crud.

Max, I'm so glad
you're okay.

I was so worried about you.

Oh, really?

But uh, what about butch?

What about him?

Well, I thought
you liked him now.

I mean, he did save
your life.

That's what he says...

Which is why I agreed
to tutor him in french.

I didn't tell you because
he was embarrassed about it.

But it's not like
he's some superhero,

Cuz trust me he's really not.

Ahh!

You can have your autograph
back, butch.

I'm a kirby fan now.

Ahh!

I like hanging out with you,
max.

And I like hanging out
with you.

Like, really, really, really
like it!

Whoa, whoa, whoa dude!

One 'really' was
totally enough.

Hey, you called me.

Now, is there anything else
you want me to say?

[chanting]
kirby! Kirby! Kirby!

Nah... I think that says
it all.

All right berto, I'll give
credit where credit is due.

Maybe this bot does have
some practical applications.

Whoa chief,
watch that button!

[laughing]

So peculiar.

[sighs]

I can't believe
dread is back.

Don't worry, we'll find him.

He won't get away with this.

I get what you were
saying now.

Someone came looking
for max steel,

Only they found
my best friends.

I guess being a real hero means

Staying out of the headlines
sometimes, huh?

You're learning, kid.

Wait, so no more front-page
photos?

What about my good side?

Both your sides
are the same, steel.

Oh, you're just being kind.

No, seriously!

You're perfectly symmetrical.

Bless your heart but
you don't have to say that.

I know I don't.

It's true.

Now we know
who's not max steel!

After all, when you
think about it

There really are quite a few
mcgraths in the phone book.

Never mind who the man
behind the mask is.

To take steel it's going
to take strength...

Not subterfuge.

This isn't over.

It's just the beginning.
