Hey, little buddy.

Speed: Previously
on "Speed Racer"...

Speed, what you doing?

I have better things to do
than save your butt.

You won't have to.

Whoo-hoo!

Dude, did you see that?



Yeah.

Just wait until we tell her

what they're doing
with the Mach 6.

Yes!

Wait...

it looks like they
left something behind.

- Huh?
- What is it?

It looks like a space
for another part.

What's suppose
to go in there?

I don't know.
It's shaped like an hourglass.

Could that be why
they're after the car?

I don't know, we have to
find out what it does.

Then we'll know what the
shadowy organization is up to.

It's dad.

I need you to ( static )
Alpha Academy!

- Dad!
- I repeat!

I need you to stay away
from Alpha Academy!

No, I lost reception.

I can't believe this.

It's gone.

All of it.

Alpha, I'm sorry.

At least you got
to warn everyone.

It looks like they got out
before it was too late.

Thank goodness.

We've got to get
to their hidden science lab,

or what's left of it.

This was the lab,
but everything's gone.

Whoa, freaky.

Guys,
there's a disc in here.

Speed and X,
when you find this disc,

I'll be gone from here.

In case I don't make it back,

the coordinates of our
destination are on this disc.

Please be careful.

This the deadliest enemy
we've ever faced.

- Come on.
- ( elevator dings )

Leaving us so soon?

( chuckles )
I wouldn't hear of it.

You!

I'll take those
discs and papers

that you stole from our
file room, now, thank you.

I know you.

You should.
I'm your mother.

Lucy: Oh, no,
the prototype is gone!

Were too late.

That means the race
is gonna start soon.

If we can't stop
that crash from happening,

were gonna lose both our parents
and our grandfather again.

I mean, they'll already be lost
in the future... or stay lost.

Time travel?

Hey, wait a minute!
Who are you?

Now comes the real test.
Did we do it?

Did we change history
for the better?

Spritle's racing trophy.

Hmm, this never leaves
his office desk.

What's it doing in here?

Annalise, why'd you do that?!
They've got our dad!

Agh, they're getting away!

No!

It worked.
She's waking up.

Annalise, can you hear us?

Zile: Can you hear me,
Racer boys?

Yes.

I want you to pay
close attention

to what I'm about
to tell you.

I have your precious family.

As I talk to you,
they're begging for their lives.

- What?
- You'd better not hurt them.

Whoo-hoo!

Ah, now I see.

And you thought
you'd stop me.

He's going to hit us!

He's... gone.

Oh, man, we're late for
professor Aniskov's class!

Come on, Chim-Chim!

Is it safe?

( chuckles ) Please don't waste
your time trying to struggle.

Those knots
are very expensive.

I am going to count to three.
There will not be a four.

Whoo-ha! Yeah, man, that's
what we're talking about!

Looking sharp, X.

( laughs ) It's on!

( chuckles ) That the best
you got, Speed?

- Yeah, here we go.
- You challenging me?

Let's see how the Mach 6
handles tight corners.

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo!
It's cruising.

Conor, the Mach 6
is handling the best ever.

How are the readings?

Everything looks good, Speed.
Velocity's great.

The downforce is constant.
The engine's really--

( alarm beeping )

What was that?.

Speed, where are you?

Conor, something blew
in the engine.

There's white steam pouring
out of the engine bay.

I can't see!
Come on...

It's not looking good, Chim.

( chatters )

Speed, we need to
cancel the experiment.

I need to look at all the
data and see what's going on.

Bring the Mach 6 back now.

Okay, I'm on my way back.

- There!
- What?

Enhance 34 to 36.

- Oh, no, that's not good.
- What?

The engine block's been damaged.

That's where the steam
was coming from.

- How serious is it?.
- It's serious.

Ugh, but I've got a race
this afternoon.

Chim, why are you
wearing goggles?

( chatters )

I know that whenever operating
machinery, they should be worn.

But, buddy, you're a robot.
You don't need them.

( sighs ) I think
they look great on you,

and you should keep
wearing them.

Uh, Conor?
The engine.

- I want to shrink it.
- You what?

I want to shrink the engine.

I think that the problem
is the engine is too big,

and it needs to much energy
to displace in that large space.

If I can shrink the engine,
it will be more fuel-efficient

but also the energy
it will take to power it

will be significantly less.

If I can reduce these areas--

this all looks good,
but remember,

I've got a race
this afternoon.

- So?
- You don't have enough time
to build an engine.

I know.
I know!

That's why I want to try
my latest invention!

Chim-Chim!

- Voila!
- Whoa.

She's a beauty, right?

Don't worry,
the engine will be ready.

I've done lots of testing.
It'll be fine.

- ( chatters )
- Shh.

Okay, Lucy's waiting for me.
We've got to prep for the race.

But I'll come back in a little
bit to see how it's going.

Sounds good,
see you in a little bit.

Got a lot of work, buddy.
Let's go!

Is it safe?

Hmm, well, at least
it didn't explode this time.

But if it didn't explode,
where did it go?

It was supposed to shrink it,
not vaporize it into nothing.

Why is it not working?

Probably good
it was just a mannequin,

but still, Speed is not
gonna be happy when he finds out

we made his racing uniform
and helmet disappear.

I know, it's better
they're missing then in bits,

but we still need
to find out where they went.

Better hit the lights.

- Uh-oh.
- ( chatters )

No, I didn't think we made
that big a mess, either.

Did we really do
that many experiments?

And did so many of them
not work?

We totally
have to clean this up,

and then we have to find out
where Speed's clothes went.

- ( gurgles )
- Ooh.

Let's get something
to eat first.

I'm starving, and I always
think better on a full stomach.

- What...
- Happened?

I don't even want to imagine
what Conor's been doing in here.

- Think the Mach 6 is ready?
- It better be.

Or brainy boy
and his metal monkey

are gonna be
in serious trouble

Great, super geek can't even
get a remote to turn on a TV.

What is wrong
with this thing?

X, come on, let's take
the Mach 6 to the track.

Conor can meet us there.

This place is a wreck.
Conor's gonna be a while.

Uh, guys?

- You better...
- I know!

I don't think
we're going to...

I promise
to be a nicer person

I won't give the newbies
a hard time.

Well, not too hard.
I'll buy flowers for Annalise.

- Oh, a lot of them.
- ( snickers )

- X?
- Yeah?

I think we're okay.

Oh. Oh, yeah!
Cool.

So, uh, where are we?

Great.

Conor!

You have got to be kidding.

Guys?
What's happening?

Oh, it looks like Conor's
awesome contraption shrunk us.

Oh, I am going to get him,
and then I'm gonna--

- Shh!
- Hey, don't tell me to--

Get. Into. The car.

You can't tell me what to do.

Now, X!

Come on.

What are you waiting for?
Go!

Do you know there's a giant
yellow jacket chasing us?

Where is it?
You see it?

- Do you know?!
- Yes, X, I know.

No, I can't see anything.

( all shouting )

- Quick, that way!
- Where?!

Right there.

We have to hit them
at full Speed.

It's the only way
they'll fall.

You got this,
little brother?

I got it.

- Get ready to swerve.
- I've got this.

- Did we get it?
- No.

( all shout )

Under the sofa.
Under the sofa!

- What?!
- Under the sofa!

Go under now!

I can't see anything.
What was that?

- Whoa!
- Hit the lights.

Whoa!

Watch out!

Speed, you did it.

Nice driving,
little brother

( sighs ) Thanks, guys.

Oh, man, now what?

That has to be Conor.
Drive towards the light.

How can you work
in a place like this?

Oh... ( chuckles )
the maid has the week off.

More like the year off.

I forgot she was leaving.
I've hired a new one.

She's coming tomorrow,
I swear.

Whatever,
X said he'd meet me here.

The Mach 6 is gone.

They must have taken it
to the track.

If they come back,
I'll tell him you stopped by.

Unless you'd care to hang out
with me and wait for him.

This place is so gross.

Sorry, Annalise,
I'll make it better, I promise.

Ech!

Quick, follow Conor.

- Hello?!
- Yo, Conor!

- Hey! Conor!
- Conor!

Hey, Conor!

- He can't hear us.
- What is that noise?

What is he doing?

If we get out of this alive,

I'm cleaning this place
every week.

Don't worry,
I'm getting Conor a maid.

Can't you go any faster?

I'm going as fast as I can!

- I don't know what's wrong.
- I do, look!

I know I've said this before,

but I don't think
we're gonna make it!

Yes, we are.
I have a plan.

Well, whatever it is,
you better do it now.

Oh, man,
this is not good!

Why didn't I go to detention
like I was supposed to?

- What's that going to do?
- Something, I hope, anything!

Chim-Chim,
what did you do that for?

What is it, buddy?

( all ) Hi.

( screams )

( whimpers )
I'm so sorry, you guys.

I can't believe-- how long
have you been like that?

Um, a while.
Why?

Oh, no,
we have to get to work, now!

- What are you talking about?
- You guys don't know it,

but you're continuing
to shrink.

Wait, what?

Oh, that's just great!

It will only be
a matter of time, not long,

before you will disappear
into nothing.

Conor!

No, no, not now!
Come on!

- Uh, what's happening?
- There's not enough power

in the laser to bring you
back to normal size.

You have got to be kidding!

Hey, yeah, not sure if you've
been keeping score here, Conor,

but being smaller
than dirt stinks!

I have an extra battery, but I
can't remember where I put it!

I know where it is.
Under the sofa!

Come on, get in!

Here goes nothing.

Yikes!

Trouble.

Come on, take the bait.

What are you doing?

Just give me one second.

- Speed, watch out!
- Ah, man!

Bingo.

Way to go!
Good work, Chim-Chim!

Oh, yeah!

Yay, Chim-Chim!

Chim, aim it over there.

- I really hope this works.
- If it doesn't,

we're not gonna be around
long enough to notice.

Okay, guys, 10 seconds!

Hey, next time you see me
pick up a remote control,

tell me to put it down,
okay?

Both: We will.

Five seconds.
Get ready!

I don't ever want to see
a yellow jacket

- that close again.
- Me neither.

Did it work?

That was too close.

( sighs )
Way too close.

( laughing ) Oh,
I missed you so much!

We missed you too...

buddy?

I was so worried
I'd never see you again.

- Did you miss me?
- Oh, really nice.

We missed you too, Conor.

And after X pressed
that button on the remote--

It was an accident!

That's when we found out
we had been hit by the laser.

Listen, guys, it's over.
We are all back to normal.

There's no use
blaming anyone.

Oh, don't look at me
like that.

If it wasn't for your--
whatever you think it is--

If you had left
well enough alone,

none of this
would've happened.

- ( chuckles ) Yeah? Yeah?
- That's right, X.

Don't go pressing buttons on
things you have no idea about.

Didn't your parents tell you
to mind your own business,

to not go pressing things
when you don't have
any idea what they do?

I have a good mind
to tell Annalise on you.

I'm sure she'd be
very interested to know

that her superstar
racer boyfriend

- was such a nosy Parker.
- That boy can really talk.

I have a good mind
to tell Spritle about this.

Not only could you, Speed, and
Lucy have disappeared forever,

I might never have seen
the Mach 6 ever again.

Hey... guys?

I like this new Conor.
What do you guys think?

Oh, I'm kidding!
I'm kidding!

Ten seconds.

We like you just
the way you are, Conor

Aw, shucks.
Thanks, you guys.

Five seconds.
Get ready, Conor.
