X, have I got
a surprise for you,

Dad?

Just get the Mach 6
and get it soon.

This is our last chance
to strike.

Positions, people.
( chuckles )

Oh, no, what's wrong, Chim-Chim?

It's the Mach 6!
Something's happened to it!



- Hey, look at the robot monkey.
- What?

His shields
can't last forever! Fire!

( Annalise screams )

( gulps )

You're going away
for a long time, pal.

Students and teachers,
I'm headmaster Spritle.

I'd like to welcome you
all back from winter break.

You've got a tough second
semester ahead of you.

So fasten your seatbelts.

I can't wait for classes
so I can try out

my new school supplies.

My Speed Racer notebook,
Speed Racer pencil case,

and hologram planner.

Your next class is advanced
engineering techniques.

You're a winner.

( chuckles ) Okay, dork.

Hey!

I just like to learn in style.

I can't wait
to get back on the track.

You mean you can't wait
to eat my virtual dust.

Whatever,
now that we have

the Mach 6 back,
I'm unstoppable.

Actually, I'm not positive,
but I kind of got

a weird reading
off the Mach 6.

I have to do more
diagnostics on it.

Hey, X!

Ladies.
I love freshmen.

Or should I say,
freshmen love me.

Me too!
It's like a clean slate.

As far as these newbies
are concerned,

I'm the hottest racer
on campus.

Hey! Ladies...

Maybe they didn't hear me.

I better make sure they know
where they're going.

Good luck with that.

With Zile and Annalise gone,

I think it's gonna be
a good semester.

I can feel it.

- ( tires screeching )
- Ladies!

Stare much?

Dude, there she comes.

She's gonna be so mad.

Just pretend
you don't see her.

( whistling innocently. )

Hello?

Aren't you going
to welcome me back?

Oh, uh, hey, dude.

How was prison?

Y-yeah, did you have
to make license plates?

Or wear one of those
striped jumpsuits?

As if.
I get let off.

They realized
I was innocent.

- ( laughs ) That's a good one!
- Yeah, right!

Where were you guys
when the cops showed up?!

You let my father
take the fall.

Dude, we crashed out.

What were we supposed to do,
turn ourselves in?

Yeah, lucky for us
Jared can't drive.

- Very funny.
- ( cell phone rings )

- Quit it!
- Hello?

- Ha, ha, ha.
- Quiet, meat heads.

Morning, pumpkin.
I need a favor.

Dad, I'm late for class.

Oh, forgive me, sweetheart.

You lose track of time
when you're in prison!

Now, I'll need your help
to protect my estate

- while I'm here.
- Ugh, sounds boring.

Yes, well, my boring estate is
what buy your clothes and cars--

Fine, what do I have to do?

Wonderful, darling.

In my office in the right-side
bottom desk drawer

is a white sock.

Hidden in the sock is a key.

O... kay.
What's it for?

That I can't tell you yet.

Stan: Oh! Oh! Oh! I can!

It opens the safe full of jewels
and money and, uh--

Stan, what did I say
about talking?

My bad.

You must take the key and get
to the safe before they do.

Ugh, I'll do it after class.

And you bring me a cape
like in the movies?

Come on!

I did a mechanical
and diagnostic inspection

and everything
seems to check out.

I couldn't get
that strange reading again.

It could have just
been a glitch.

Maybe you shouldn't
drive it until we're sure.

You heard Conor.
Everything checks out.

I don't know,
a glitch could indicate

a variety of mechanical problems
with a high hazard probability.

Translation?

Just check out the simulation.

( sirens wailing )

I'll be fine.

I can't wait to get this baby
back on the track.

Morning, class, and welcome back
to advanced defensive driving.

Anything can happen
in the virtual track.

And you must be very alert
and focused

to avoid an accident.

Why is she here?

I thought she was locked up
with her dad.

Annalise!

There's a seat by me.

You hadn't heard?

I guess money can buy you
a get out of jail card.

I still don't trust you.

Speed?
Sorry to interrupt.

Can you repeat
what I just said?

Uh... sorry, profession Winn.
I was a little distracted.

Ooh-ooh, I know!
Pick me!

If you're a little
distracted on the track,

you're a danger
to other drivers.

X, Speed, and Annalise,

you may be the first
to demonstrate.

Getting a
little rusty, Speed?

Just giving you
a head start

until we get
to the virtual track.

( chuckles )
Bring it on.

If you guys are done chatting,
Annalise is gaining on you

at 220 miles per hour.

I think I can handle
Annalise.

Annalise: Hey, X,
ready to get dominated?

Cute, but cute
won't win the race.

Quite flirting.
It's making me carsick.

Annalise:
Get Speed off my back!

Aw yeah!

Out of our way, Speed Bump!

Looks like we got company.

Ha ha!

So you want to play dirty?

Speed? I'm getting that
strange reading again.

Maybe you should slow down.

The name's Speed Racer,
remember?

What? I-- I lost him!

Maybe he's using
the invisibility shield.

According to
the remote panel, he's not.

The shield is off.

- There he is!
- Speed, watch out!

Headmaster, you must get
down to the track.

There's been an accident.

Lucy: Speed!
Are you okay?

Yeah, but the
virtual track isn't.

Nice moves.
Drive much?

- ( laughing )
- Oh, busted!

- Dude, what was that?
- I don't know.

What do you mean
you don't know?

Speed, what happened
out there?

We lost you
on the monitor.

It was like nothing
I'd ever seen.

I tried to pick up
a diagnostic pattern,

but then, ka-blam!

- Lucy: Conor!
- Sorry.

- Is everyone okay?
- I think so.

It all happened so fast.

Well, that tends to be
the way these things happen.

What's the meaning of this?

I needed the track
for my next class.

What's important
is that everyone is okay.

Speed, did you remember
how the accident happened?

No, one minute, I was between
Jared and Jesse,

and the next,
I was in front of them.

I couldn't get
out of the way fast enough.

I was totally focused,
Professor Winn.

I mean, I thought I was.

At least no one was hurt.

Without Zile's team,
we're short on staff.

Conor, Chim-Chim, I'll need you
to go fix the virtual track.

I'm on it, sir!

Okay, nothing more to see.

Everyone back to class.

I don't understand.

I didn't do anything.

I-- I don't know
how it happened.

Dude, it was an accident.
Get over it.

No, it wasn't.
Isn't it obvious?

You think it's just
a coincidence that you crashed

in the same day
that Annalise got back?

Annalise wasn't near him
when he crashed.

No, but maybe she tampered
with the Mach 6.

Why would she do that?

Why wouldn't she?
Zile was after the car.

Maybe now that he's locked up,
she's doing his dirty work.

You're right, this has Annalise
written all over it.

So much for taking on
the Speed Sr. legacy.

You think dad is perfect.
Trust me, he's not.

X...

I'll go deal with Annalise,

See if I can get
some answers.

This is so not your fault,
and we're gonna prove it.

I'm just glad you're okay.
You really had me worried.

Okay, well,
I have to go to class.

Yeah, I have to go-- stay.

I have to stay here, uh,
and do stuff.

( laughs ) Right!
Great. Perfect.

White sock?
They're all white!

And who keeps socks
in their office? Ew!

"How to Get Rich."
"How to Get Richer."

"How to Stay Rich."

I'm Zile. ( growls )

I'm taking over the world!
( growls )

Would you two stop it
and help me look

through these socks
before my dad--

- ( cell phone rings )
- What now?

Hello, peanut.
How's freedom?

Don't you only get
one phone call in jail?

I traded my lunch
for Stan's phone privileges.

Mom?

Mom?

Did you find the key?

Here it is.
Now what?

The safe is located
in our secret hideout.

If you catch my drift.

( whispers ) It's the cave
off Route 60.

Are you kidding me?

Go stand over there.

Farther.

Farther.

Farther!

- Farther.
- Dad!

Bring me the contents of
the safe as soon as possible.

I don't want it falling
into the wrong hands.

And it's top-secret.

So don't bring
those two clowns with you.

Don't worry.
I won't.

Oh, and can you also
bring my hair gel?

Prison does horrible things
to the hair.

( growls )

Wrench!

Screwdriver!

- Stereoscopic data reanimator.
- ( girl giggles )

- I said stereoscopic data--
- Oh, are you kidding?

So cute.

Well... ( chuckles )
I guess some would say

I'm cute when I'm working.

Just fixing the track,
one of my many manly duties.

( giggles )
What a cute monkey.

Aw...

Oh, I see you're admiring
my monkey.

I made him myself.
He's very advanced.

Look!
He's using tools!

Oh1 We don't need
the hammer right now!

( chuckles )
Chim-Chim, no!

- ( cell phone rings )
- Not a good time!

Lucy: It's important!

I think someone might have
tampered with Speed's car.

- Oh, that's not good!
- ( hammering,
electricity crackling )

I know, we have
to double-check the Mach 6.

Meet me in the garage.

Be there in a second.

- ( chainsaw revving )
- Chim-Chim!

Hey, Annalise,
what about your dad?

Daddy's little mission
can wait until after lunch.

Hey, remember watching
Speed crash out?

That was so awesome.

Totally, he was all like--
( imitates tires screeching )

- Boom!
- Watch it, doofus!

You got cheese all over me!

You want fries with that?

Both of you shut up
and sit down!

Annalise.

Hey, X.
Miss me?

Hey, X.

No, not really.

What happened today
in Winn's class?

What are you talking about?

I know you had something to do
with Speed's crash.

Speed's lousy driving
caused the crash.

He scratched
the Spoiled Brat.

How do we know you're not
still working for Zile?

He's not here, is he?

( cell phone rings )

( growls )

Need to take that?

I'm not... my... father.

And I had nothing
to do with it.

Oh, yeah? Prove it.

For one, why would I
scratch my own car?

I don't know, why would you?

I wouldn't!

Are you guys gonna make out?

Oh, X!

( growls )

Hey, Conor.

What happened to you?

Ask Chim-Chim.

( laughing )

Who's she?

A member of Chim-Chim's
fan club.

( giggling )

O... kay.

Anyway, doesn't look like
the car's been tampered with.

- Well, look closer!
- Touchy!

Maybe if I knew
what happened,

I'd have more luck
analyzing the car.

- Chim-Chim, instant replay.
- ( laughs )

If you don't mind.

Dear, video diary.

Today I saw Annalise
from across the taco-salad bar.

She was a vision
as she scooped guacamole.

Fast forward!
Fast forward!

Okay, now...

- Right there.
- Pause!

The Mach 6 is gone.
How could that be?

- There!
- Oh, my precious engine.

- I can't look.
- Conor, come on.

The car disappeared two minutes
and 56 seconds into the race

and reappeared two minutes
and 56.593 seconds in.

He was gone for approximately
half a second.

What does it mean?

I'll check the car's
internal data recorder

for the exact moment
it disappeared.

Right there.
That's the reading.

It looks as if the time code
is missing.

Which is highly unusual.

There's gotta be
some sort of pattern.

Whatever it is, Annalise
wouldn't have done this.

Why not?

Because, while beautiful,
she's also very competitive,

and the glitch gives Speed
an advantage in the race.

Theoretically, if you could
control the jump,

you could shave seconds
off your race time.

Awesome!
Let's try it out.

What? You saw what
happened last time.

( beeping )

You heard Conor.

That's just because I haven't
gotten the hang of it.

What part of "theoretical"
didn't you understand?

Think of the races
I could win.

I'd be a legend.

You're already a legend.

No, my dad is.

But with this,
I could break records.

I wasn't implying
that you should--

Achieve greatness?

Speed, don't you dare.

( engine revving )

Oh, man,
I just fixed the track.

now he's gonna go
smash it up again.

X: What up?

X, Speed's about to
do something stupid.

What else is new?

I need you to get on
the track and stop him now.

Why do I bother?

There's X.

This better be good.

There's something wrong
with the car.

Your brother's gonna get himself
hurt if you don't stop him.

I'll get him.

Speed, what are you doing?

I have better things to do
than save your butt.

- You won't have to.
- You don't have
anything to prove.

Trust me.

Where are you, safe?

Jackpot.

No way.

X, do something before he
kills himself out there.

I'm trying!

Uh, oh, traffic.

- Nice try.
- I thought so.

- Going somewhere?
- Out of my way, X!

Not until you tell me
what's going on.

Why is Lucy flipping out?

There's something up
with this car,

and diagnostics
take too long.

Whatever happened
happened on the track.

What are you talking about?

Later, I'm kind of
in the middle of something.

I'm getting that strange
reading again!

Speed, stop now!

- Yes!
- Conor!

I-- I mean, no!

There he is!

Speed?

Whoa!

( laughs ) Oh!
Did you see that?

Yes!

- Dude, what was that?
- I don't know!

It happened when
you got over 250!

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah.

- Good, then let's do it again.
- Lucy: What?!

X, you're not helping!

It's fine, I'll keep him
on the track.

Let's do this!

( cell phone rings )

- Hello?
- Zile: Did you get
to the safe?

- Yes, daddy.
- And?

And there was just enough
to cover my back allowances.

- Plus interest.
- What?!

Now listen here,
young lady.

( imitates static )
You're breaking up!

I'm getting, like,
no bars in this cave!

When I get out of here,
you are in trouble, young lady.

Do you hear me?

( sighs happily )
The things I do for family.

- Come on!
- ( laughs )

X, watch out,
he can reappear anywhere!

Speed, your alignment
is all over the place.

You have to stop now.

No way, I think I'm getting
the hang of this.

Now let's see
if you can hit a target.

Name it!

- The virtual mark.
- You got it!

You guys are idiots!

I'm starting to see a pattern.

I can't quite put
my finger on it,

but certain conditions
trigger the jumps.

Come on,
stay on the track, Speed.

Whoo-hoo!

You guys see that?

Yeah, risking your life
and the Mach 6 in the process.

Lucy's right,
you're overheating!

You better stop
before it burns out.

Finally!

What is up with this car?

Never seen anything like it.

I don't know,
but it's pretty awesome.

When you jump,
what does it feel like?

- What do you see?
- Nothing.

I'm just suddenly
in a different place.

Dude, I gotta try that.

Guys, not until we can
control where it lands.

I'll get to the bottom of this
if it's the last thing I do.

It'll by my engineering
magnum opus.

My automotive
pièce de résistance.

Easy, tiger,
it's just a car.

I'm not sure about that.

Well, you can have this
little debate in detention.

You know better than to use
the track without permission.

Sorry, Professor Aniskov.

I tried to stop them,
but no!

Well, it's too bad
you didn't succeed

because you'll
have to clean up the track.

Oh, man.

Dude, did you see that?

Yeah, just wait
until we tell her

what they're doing
with the Mach 6.

( theme music playing )
