Speed: Previously
on "Speed Racer"...

Moustache: Time to use
the device again, son.

But I've got him on the ropes.

I'm not asking you.
I'm telling you.

- Use it now!
- No way.

I can win this one
fair and square.

I was afraid this might happen.



All right,
I'll do it myself.

- ( beeping )
- Conor, what is that?

Agh! Speed, look out!

Not again!

All we've got to
find out now is what

or who is causing it.

And I've got a pretty
good idea.

So I sent Chim-Chim
to investigate.

He should be inside
Alpha team's garage by now.

Come on.

- What? Uh!
- That's the Hourglass part.

- ( squawks )
- What was that?

Chim-Chim,
get out of there now!

Probably just one
of the machines.

- Where were we?
- I'll tell you where.

If you ask me to cheat again,
I won't race for you.

And here, take your precious
device back.

You'll follow my orders, boy!

Or I'll find someone else
who will.

Could you hear what
they were saying?

No, Chim was making
too much noise.

Whatever it was,
it can't be good.

The whole Alpha team is clearly
out to get the Mach 6

or destroy it
with that part.

Yeah!
We got to do something.

Do something?
About what?

Alpha Leader and his cronies,

they've been
conspiring against us.

Conor, kindly tell Mr. Racer
that I wasn't addressing him.

Oh, I don't want to get
in the middle of this.

Chim-Chim, tell Speed that
Lucy wasn't talking to him.

( chattering )

( sighs ) Lucy, I'm sorry.

I-I really did forget
about the dance.

I didn't mean
to stand you up.

We were here all night
trying to figure out

- what was wrong
with the Mach 6.
- It's true!

And now it turns out
there was nothing wrong with it.

It was Alpha team
sabotaging us,

using the hourglass part
against us.

The hourglass part,
but Alpha's a good guy.

There's no way he would
have done that.

Oh, no?
Conor, show her.

Conor: See? Chim-Chim recorded
this in their garage,

like, five minutes ago.

Look how upset Alpha looks.

There's got to be something
more than meets the eye.

Why don't we just ask him?

( mockingly ) Yeah!
Let's just ask him.

Ask him?!
Are you insane?

You know how dangerous
that could be?

No, bad idea!
Really bad idea!

I'm not scared of him.
I'll do it.

No, Lucy, you can't just...

Hey, hi there.
Mind if I come in?

Oh, hi, no, sure come on.

Um, are you okay?

Alpha, I need
to ask you something.

And if you don't want
to answer,

or you can't answer,
I'll understand.

Well... okay.
Shoot.

I know this sounds
kind of crazy, but...

did you sabotage the Mach 6
in the first two races

using some kind of quantum
electronic particle device?

And are you secretly working

for a shadowy
covert organization?

Whoa! ( laughs )

Where'd you get all those
crazy ideas from, Lucy?

Please just answer me.

Okay, I don't know about
any shadowy organization,

just that our sponsors
have been pressuring coach

to win at all costs,
and I've told him

I refuse to race
if we're going to cheat again.

And what about
the hourglass part?

You mean the device that
coach installed in the Alpha 1?

All I know is somehow it's
able to mess up your Mach 6.

I don't really
understand how.

Thank you for being honest.

The truth is, it was killing me
to have to cheat.

Coach Moustache
forced me to do it.

That's not who I am, Lucy.

I know.

In fact, that's it.
I'm done with this.

I'm gonna go find coach
and tell him I quit.

And just where do you think
you're going, missy?

What? Let go of me!

Sorry, little lady,
no can do.

Y'all know too much,

but you still might
come in handy as leverage.

She should have been
back here by now.

I knew it was a bad idea.
Didn't I say it was a bad idea?

But, no!
She wouldn't listen.

I'll try calling her again.

Hi, Lucy here.

Speed, if this is you calling,
don't.

Conor, make sure the Mach 6's
gunny flap is secure.

Anyone else, you know
what to do at the tone.

Lucy, where are you?!

( chattering )

She must be in trouble.
Let's go.

Hey, guys, have you seen
coach Moustache?

- I can't seem to find--
- Forget about that.

What have you done with Lucy?

If you hurt her in any way,
our vengeance will be swift

and terrible and swift,
and it'll hurt, too!

Whoa, calm down.

I left her back at
the guest garage a while ago.

- Don't worry, Lucy's fine.
- ( cell phone rings )

Listen carefully, boy.

I'm only gonna say this once.

I see you're with your little
Racer Academy pals now.

This is for them to hear, too.

Okay, what do you want?

I've got the girl.

If you want to make sure
nothing bad happens to her,

y'all gonna race today
just as we planned it.

And you'll do
exactly what I say.

What's more, you ain't gonna
tell nobody about this.

Or your little lady's
done for!

- You copy?
- What?

Lucy! You won't get away
with this, Moustache.

I beg to differ, son.

This here's just a good
old-fashioned game

of Texas hold 'em.

And I'm holding all the cards.

( snickers )

Oh, no! Lucy!
We have to save her!

Don't worry, we'll find
a way to save Lucy.

( grunts )

What a low-down,
rotten, no-good,

dirty, rotten,
low-down skunk!

For now, let's just get
the Mach 6 ready.

I'll meet you at the track.

Speed, wait, I want to help.

Haven't you done enough?
This is all your fault.

If not for you, Lucy
wouldn't be in this mess.

I know.

Look, I still don't fully
understand what's going on,

but if you'll at least
let me explain,

I'll tell you
what I do know.

Spritle: Welcome one and all

to this afternoon's
final invitational race

between Racer Academy
and Alpha Academy.

So far, we're tied at
one victory apiece.

Now we'll find out which
of our esteemed schools

will be taking home
the big prize. I

feel like a complete moron
in this costume, Stan.

No, Mr. Z., you're a a tire,
and I'm a race car.

Hey, you two dork-osauruses
are blocking our view.

Where did you learn
to dance anyway, Dorkenstan?

We're not dork-osauruses!

I'm a race car,
and he's a tire!

So let's stay as far
as we can from each other

on the track, okay?

Give me one good reason
why I should suddenly trust you.

Obviously,
I can't force you to.

But if you do,
you'll see that I'm sincere.

Hey, hey, baby bro,
did you hear?

We're racing the snake pit
today.

You ready to roll?

Not in a great mood
right now, X.

What?
Lucy still mad at you?

Not just that, dude,
there's much more going on.

It's not good.

I hope you guys patch
things up.

She really likes you.
You know what I mean?

Announcer: Here we go!

Three... two... one...

and they're off!

X: I can't break
through 'em, Annalise.

I could really use
some help here.

I'm already on it, X.

Thanks, babe,
I owe you one.

You owe me way more than one.

Ah, every time I get some
distance from Alpha,

the road moves us back together.

What do I do?

I-I don't know,
just-- just keep going!

Lucy would know
what to do here.

( cheering )

( chuckles )
Hasta luego, racer boy.

Oh, man, we're too close
to Alpha.

I don't want
to wipe out again.

I-I'm still not picking up
any weird readings.

- ( beeping )
- Uh-oh! Wait a minute.

- ( beeping )
- Not this time you don't.

Huh?
I'll be hornswaggled!

Alpha: Yee-ha!

( muttering angrily )

Speed, I want you to know.
I disabled the device.

You did?

Well, thanks,
but what about Lucy?

Your coach said if we don't
follow orders, he'll--

Don't worry, I have a plan.

We won't let him harm
a single hair on her head.

Just follow my lead
when we're done.

You got it.

And now it's time
we found out

who's truly the better racer.

Oh, yeah?
You are on.

( tires screeching )

( cheering )

Conor: Hammer down, Speed!

Bring her home!

Announcer:
And the winner is...

Speed Racer!

Racer Academy wins
the invitational tournament,

2-1!

Congrats, Speed.

You won this one
fair and square.

That was awesome, dude,
almost too close to call.

I misjudged you, Alpha.
You're all right.

Thanks, you too.

What in tarnation happened
in there, boy?

- Why didn't the device work?
- Oh, you mean this?

Because I destroyed it.

There he is, get him!

I warned you two
not to trifle with me.

Now your Lucy's
as good as gone.

And you just signed
her death warrant.

We can't let him get away.

We won't.

Wait, Speed, wait!

Where are you going?!

I got to go save Lucy!

( muffled cries )

Alpha: There he is.

Copy that, Alpha.
Let's get him.

So y'all think you can
catch Handles, do you?

Well, this ain't my first
rodeo, partners.

Try these on for size.

Hey, did you see that?

Yeah, could be
his rocket launchers.

Don't worry, I got it.

Rockets? Please.
That's kids' stuff.

So y'all want to play rough.
Ha, fine.

I'm gonna blast your butts
to kingdom come!

- Watch it, Speed!
- Piece of cake.

We've dodged tougher obstacles
on the virtual track.

He'll have to do
better than that.

Oh, no, look out!

Buried alive!
( laughs )

Your little friends
ain't gonna be much help

to you now, missy.

♪ Goodnight, ladies

♪ Goodnight, ladies

♪ Goodnight, ladies

♪ It's time to say goodbye

( coughs )

Speed, what did you just do?

( coughs )
Conor equipped the Mach 6

with sonic blasters
for emergencies like this one.

Did someone say my name?

Conor!

Yep, I figured you'd need
help rescuing Lucy

so I brought some backup
along.

Conor filled us in
on everything, bro.

Yeah, let's go get her.

Yah, mule, yah!
Come on, giddyup.

- ( beep )
- Moustache here.

The Committee has been
waiting anxiously

for your progress report.

Yes, ma'am.
I'm sorry for the delay.

We had some unexpected
complications to deal with.

That's of no concern to us.

Moustache: Right, unfortunately,
my cover was blown.

And the device was damaged,
but the device worked fine.

Excellent.

Everything is falling
into place exactly as planned.

Your part was merely
a prototype

to be tested in close
proximity to the Mach 6

to ensure that the final
product will be viable,

and now that we have positive
results on Operation Hourglass,

we have no further need
for you or Alpha Academy.

What? But... but...

The academy
is to be liquidated.

We cannot leave
any evidence behind.

However, as a reward
for your dedication,

I'm giving you fair warning
and a head start to get away.

Right, ma'am, much obliged.

That is all.
Committee out.

You've done heard more
than you should have, girlie.

Y'all be sure and send me
a postcard now,

you hear?

Did you see that?
He kicked Lucy out of the car!

- Oh, no!
- I'll save her.

Oh, no, we're too late.

( muffled )
Help! Help!

Guys, Lucy's alive!

Her ropes got snagged
on a branch.

Help! Help!

Lucy, quit struggling.

That branch is already
starting to give way.

If we're going to do something,
we've got to act fast.

- Moustache is getting away.
- X: Let him go.

We'll deal with that
dirty creep later.

Hang on, Luce!
Everything will be fine!

We're here to save you!

OMG! How are we gonna save her?

She's too far
down to reach.

And we can't throw her a line,
her arms are tied up.

( chattering )

That's it, Chim!
You're a genius.

Yeah, I mean, of course,
you're a genius,

I programmed you.

Conor, what's he doing?

Transforming himself
into a helochipter!

Good work, Chim-Chim.

( all chattering excitedly )

Hang on, Lucy,
I'm coming.

- Yes!
- Way to go, Speed!

You're okay!
Don't ever do that again!

Thanks, guys.
I thought I was a goner.

Don't worry,
we'll get that lowlife

- for what he did to you.
- What? Forget about him!

Alpha Academy
is in terrible danger.

- What?
- I overheard him talking

with some weird-sounding
Committee woman.

Oh, no.
Everyone at the school!

We've got to save them
before it's too late.

Dad's there, too,
working undercover

in a hidden laboratory.

Come on!

I know we haven't always
seen eye to eye,

but I'm really glad
you're okay.

Wow, thanks, Annalise.

Who knows, maybe there's hope
for you yet.

Don't push it.

( tires squealing )

That's right,
spread the word to everyone.

Get out of there
as fast as you can.

Guys, Alpha Academy
is protected by a full range

of defensive weapon systems.

So if that shadowy committee
is already running things there,

I'm guessing we're gonna
have to fight our way through.

Yeah, just let 'em try
to stop us.

There's Alpha Academy again.

Look at the size
of those monsters.

- Are those plasma-beam canons?
- Yep.

Speed, can you take them out
with your Mach 6 lasers?

I can give it a shot,
but they look pretty powerful.

Dudes, we got
to get in there.

Before we try anything stupid,

are we sure we know
what we're doing here?

Not to worry,
my angel dumpling!

I'll just hack into their system
and disable those weapons

before they can use 'em.

Leave it to Conor!

Awesome,
how fast can you do it?

Uh, maybe 15 minutes, tops.

( beeps )

Yikes,
you have about 30 seconds.

They've got some crazy
firewalls.

I have never seen these before.

25 seconds.

I can't think
in these conditions.

Oh, wait! We'll go get you
a lawn chair and some iced tea.

15 seconds!

I can't decipher
the encoded algorithms

of their data compression!

I need more time!

Do you hear that?

Now what?

Look, robot bomber drones!

( yells )

We're under attack
from all sides!

We're doomed!

Speed, X, turn on
your force fields

and reverse polarity to extend
them over all of us.

Not gonna work, Luce.

Plasma beams will cut
through our shields

like they were soft cheese.

Huh? The turrets
are still turning.

They're aiming at Alpha Academy!

Those goons activated
the school's defense systems

against itself.

No!

Come on, guys!

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.

It was in that building there.

Careful!
Watch your step.

This was the lab,
but everything's gone.

Holy cow.

They really cleaned
the place out.

Bro, look at your car key.

Whoa, freaky!

It's pointing to something.

Guys, there's a disc in here.

What could be on it?

Let's feed it to Chim-Chim.

Speed and X,
when you find this disc,

- I'll be gone from here.
- It's dad.

I'm not sure
what's going on yet,

but they're grabbing all
the equipment and files

and rushing us out of here,

Alpha students,
technicians, everyone!

In case I don't make it back,

the coordinates of our
destination are on this disc.

Please be careful.

This is the deadliest enemy
we've ever faced.

( theme music playing )
