Yes!

Wait, it looks like they left
something behind.

Annalise: Whoever uses
that logo,

Daddy sure seems to get a lot
of mysterious mail from them.

Then it sounds like we need
to question Zile ASAP.

Good afternoon, boys,
and today's your lucky day.

You got visitors.



Don't you recognize us?

What are you doing here?

We got questions, Zile.

I'm telling you,
I know nothing.

Speed: Maybe you can
explain this.

And don't tell us
it's the logo for

Granny Annie's Cookie Barn.

These people attacked you?

Yeah.
You know 'em?

No one knows for sure.

Aniskov: Good morning, class.

For the next few weeks

we'll be focusing
on team racing.

Learning to work together
is an invaluable skill.

You've been obsessed with
that logo since we found it.

I have to find a way
to get this to Dad.

He might know something.

Guys, we already missed
the qualifier.

( clears throat )
In team racing

it doesn't matter how good
each individual racer is,

you must have a common goal,
mutual respect

and cooperation to win.

Yes, team Deucey.

Hey, Annalise,
want to be on my team?

Do monkeys fly?

Robot monkeys do.

Your teams will be determined
by yesterday's qualifier.

Great.

Those with the highest rank

have been teamed up
in first place,

followed by second rank
and so on.

You'll find your team and rank
on the leader board.

Good luck,
and see you at the races.

Who's our third?

Ah, man,
we're stuck with Mitch?

I'm standing right here.

I don't see us.

Uh, that's 'cause we missed
the race and came in last.

Thanks to that logo.

Here we go.
Speed, X.

At least we're on the same team.
We'll totally win.

Conor: And Annalise.

- What?
- What?

That can't be right.

Yeah, I'm not racing with you
and speed bump.

Don't worry,
the feeling's mutual.

There must be some sort
of mistake.

I'm sure if we talk to Spritle
he'll sort this out.

I'm afraid there's no mistake.

All three of you missed
the qualifier,

therefore you came in last
and were paired together.

That's nuts!

I mean, that's nuts, sir.

Look, without getting
too personal,

Annalise and I have
a little conflict.

What he's trying to say
is I dumped him.

Oh, oh, let's not
rewrite history.

It's just that we don't really
work well together.

That's why it's a challenge.

It's the perfect opportunity
to overcome your differences

which is the whole point
of teamwork.

Remember, when you get on
that track, you're racers.

Leave your personal issues
back at the dorm.

Yes, sir.

- Dude, this stinks.
- Maybe Spritle's right.

It's not like
we have to hang out.

We just have to race.

Welcome to team racing.

From this point on,

you are a team
on and off the track.

- What?
- You will race as a team,

attend classes as a team,

eat lunch as a team.

Go crazy as a team.

Together you will function
as one.

You complete me.

The winner of the team race
will represent the Racer Academy

in the upcoming races against
the Alpha Academy.

Awesome!

Take this time
to choose a captain

and begin practice as a team.

We'll reconvene here
this afternoon.

Good luck.

We're gonna rock this.

We may have come in last,

but we're the two
best racers at school.

Totally, dude,
piece of cake.

So, obviously,
I'm team leader.

Actually, I was kind of thinking
I'd be team leader.

- Maybe next time, bro.
- Who says you're in charge?

Actually, you both lose.
I'm team captain.

- ( both laughing )
- What?

- Yeah, that'll be the day.
- You owe me.

What's she talking about?

I got you guys in
to see my dad

and you promised me
a favor in return.

I'd like to cash it in now.

You did what?

Come on, it's an expression.
"I owe you one."

No one actually means it.

You can fight this out
on your own time.

For now we have to start
practicing the elements

- of teamwork.
- ( both groan )

Okay, team, first up--
conditioning.

( panting )

Speed:
Why do we have to jog?

X: Yeah, we have wheels,
remember?

Exercise boosts
your energy level,

decreases stress,
and makes you look hot.

So... hot.

Next up, group dynamics.

No way. I can't believe--
missed a spot.

Go team!

Problem solving.

Red or black?

You got to be kidding me.

You're right,
maybe jeans.

Green is not the new black.

Okay, that's it.
I'm done.

Hello? Team captain.

Uh, actually, I think it's time
to get down to the track anyway.

Every racer has
his or her strengths.

By combining these strengths,
we create the perfect driver.

Listen to your team captains
and cooperate.

And remember,
every team member

must cross the finish line
in order to win.

( engine revs )

( tires screeching )

Hey, Speed, you'll be racing
the eliminator virtual track.

You'll have to get
a good leeway

before you reach the gate.

- Hello? I'm in charge now,
Lucy.
- But I always--

- ( beep )
- Bye now.

What did you do that for?

Sorry, only room
for one team leader.

How'd she hack my video?

She promised to make
eye contact with me

if I hacked her in.

- I was powerless.
- Well, fix it!

Jared and Jessie
are gaining on you.

X, get rid of these guys.
X!

( chuckles )
You're on your own.

Ugh! Speed, stay in your lanes.
We'll block them out.

I don't do defense.

What are you doing?
Get back there!

Quit sandbagging
and catch up.

Nice job, speed bump.

Relax, I can take Jared.

Guys, focus!

Annalise: X, you
take the outer lane.

You take the outer lane.
I've got the fast lane.

Just do it!

No way.
That doesn't make sense.

I'm team leader!

You may be in your
little fantasy world.

Lucy: Guys!
there's no time to argue!

- Just do what she says!
- I'll go first.

You guys clear a path
while I go in.

Speed, you follow me
and X follows Speed.

- Correction, I'll go first.
- No way. I got it.

- Uh, guys?
- Uh, guys?

- X: Step aside, bro.
- Speed: No way.

The tunnel's coming up.
You have to get in formation.

Nice going.
You cost us the race.

Me? Maybe if you'd spend
less time barking orders

and more time driving.

( chuckles ) Yeah,
that'll be the day.

- Learn to follow orders!
- I'm not taking orders
from you.

- Yeah, some team leader.
- Oh, like that's my fault?

You three obviously need more
practice working together.

Well, it's not Annalise's fault.

There must have been poor
communication signal

between the cars.

I wouldn't be surprised if
she threw the race on purpose.

She's Zile's daughter.
She can't be trusted.

- I can hear you.
- You're supposed to.

Nice teamwork, guys.

Yeah, for crash dummies.

( both laughing )

Great, we're taking jabs
from the doofus twins.

Can you move your tray over?

I don't want my hair to smell
like cheese steak.

Oh, now you're gonna tell me
what to eat? What's next?

Maybe you'd like to tell me
what to drink or where to sit.

What about this shirt?
Does this shirt work for you?

Actually,
it's a little tight.

- Guys--
- I don't know what
you're complaining about.

- It's your guy's fault
she's the team leader.
- Guys--

For the last time.
You needed to see Zile.

- Well, don't do us any favors.
- Guys, that's enough!

I don't like this either

but we have to get
through team racing

and we can't afford to look like
a bunch of morons out there.

We're the best racers
at this school.

Annalise may be mean,
she may be sketchy,

she may be shallow--
sorry.

But she's not her father,
and she is our captain.

So from now on
I say we listen to her

for the sake of the team.

Speed's right.
Sorry, Annalise.

It's cool.

Yeah, okay.
It's only one semester.

Well, we better get started.

Thanks for that.

Yeah, well,
I did it for the team.

Come on, guys,
pull it together.

Guys, fan out for defense.

X, when I say move,
you move.

Whatever you say, boss.

It's for the team.
It's for the team.

Ah! Chim-Chim!

Speed, cover me.

Line up.

Uh, guys, I think I need some
help getting out of this.

I can't feel my feet.

( yelling )

No offense, but what's
the point of this?

He's not racing.

Oh, it's just fun to watch.

( yelling )

Conor: They're going into
figure eight formation.

Ah, what form,
what grace.

They've come a long way
since their last race.

Guys, that's real pretty,
but the tunnel's coming up.

Speed, you you go first.
Then X.

- I'll follow you guys.
- You got it.

Yahoo!

Good job, guys.

- You beat your old time.
- Annalise, you were great.

- I know.
- Yeah, good job.

Thanks, BFF.

We're not there yet.

Anyway, drive like that
in the final race

and you'll definitely win.

Announcer: Welcome to
the final team race.

The winning team will go on
to race against

the Alpha Academy.

Currently in first place,
team Deucey.

In second, Jen,
Alex, and Tyler.

And in ( clears throat )
third place,

Annalise, Speed, and X.

You might be good at football,
You might be good at track.

But when it comes to racing,
you might as well step back.

Say what?
You might as well step back.

U-G-L-Y
They ain't got no alibi.

- You--
- Conor!

Good luck.

Try not to destroy
the track this time.

- What did you say?
- Uh, nothing.

- Good luck, guys.
- We don't need luck.

About to heat up.

- ( cell phone rings )
- Hello?

Woman: Annalise Zazic
team captain?

- How did you...
- I have my ways.

People on the inside.

Annalise: What do you want?

I need you
to do me a favor.

I think it'll be in your
best interest to help me.

( engines revving )

Dude, where's Annalise?
The race is about to start.

( cell phone rings )

Woman: I've sent a car
to sabotage the Mach 6.

Great,
what do you need me for?

It's your job
to make sure that

Speed goes through
the tunnel first.

My man will be waiting
on the other side to strike.

You may have had my dad
wrapped around your finger,

but not me.

What if I don't do it?

I wouldn't take that risk
if I were you.

The choice is yours.

( engines revving )

Everything okay?

Fine.
Let's do this.

( engines revving )

Good head start, guys,

remember everything
we worked on.

You guys are
a well-oiled machine.

Got it Lucy.

Guys, pylon trap on the right.

Thanks, Luce.

- Getting narrow up ahead.
- Got it.

- Annalise?
- What?

I just wanted to say "hi."

( grunts )

Move!

Guys,
there's a split coming up.

Let's box the twins.

Where do you think
you're going?

- Yeah!
- Yes!

Guys, the tunnel's
coming up in .4 miles.

Get in formation, guys.

Oh, man.

What is she doing?

Hey, that's not the plan.

There's been a slight
change of plans.

- Annalise is coming up
on your right.
- What?

Get back in line.

Trust me, Speed.
I'm team captain, remember?

Yeah, right, You're just
looking out for yourself.

Annalise, you're going
over the ragged edge.

Your car is smoking.

- If that's how she wants
to play.
- Let her go, Speed.

Only one of you can make it
through the tunnel.

You're gonna crash out.

Am I speaking to myself?

What's that?

There's something
behind the tunnel.

That's not one of our cars.

Guys, there's an unidentified
object on the track.

- Got it.
- What? But--

- ( beeping )
- That's weird.

Annalise, get out!

Speed: Get in.

Thanks.

What were you thinking?
You tricked us.

- Actually, I saved your butt.
- What?

She's telling the truth.
We saw the whole thing.

Whoever was hiding
in that tunnel

was out to get us.

See? Way to jump
to conclusions.

I'm sorry.
But who was it?

Could we talk about this later?
We're in last place.

There's only one way to make
up for lost time.

We've got to jump.

Speed, Annalise,
where are you guys?

Speed: Be right there.

You're ready for the jump.

- Would you like
to do the honors?
- Totally.

Annalise: Come on.

Nice!
One down, three to go.

Heads up, fellas.
Things are about to heat up.

Announcer: Close race,

but team Annalise
takes the lead.

Speed, X, and Annalise

will be competing against
Alpha Academy!

Awesome comeback!

Yeah, sweet jump, guys.

You might be good
at football.

You might be good
at track.

But when it comes
to racing,

you might as well step back,
Say what?

- You might as well step--
- Lucy: Conor!

Sorry.
Got carried away.

But what happened out there?

Do you have any idea
who hit your car?

Yeah, how did you know
they were there?

I don't understand how
an unregistered car

could have gotten
into the virtual track.

That's weird.

Annalise's car
never came out.

- Where did it go?
- What?

Great, now what am I gonna
drive in the race against Alpha?

- They were after the Mach 6.
- What?

You didn't have
to take the hit for me.

Actually, I did.

They must have taken Annalise's
car instead, but how?

We have to find out
how they got in.

That might give us
some answers.

Guys, can we cool it
on the paranoia

and enjoy our victory
for a sec?

Lucy's right.
This could be serious.

Someone could have
gotten hurt.

We'll have to check it out.

And don't worry, Annalise.
You stepped up for me.

-I'll make sure
we find your car.
-Thanks.

Well, ain't that a shame,

looks like somebody went
and got the wrong car.

I did what she said,
but the girl messed up the plan.

If ifs and buts
were candy and nuts...

Boy, that plan was easier
than sliding off

a greasy log backward.

The girl is useless,
like her father.

We'll have to use the twins.

At least we know
how to get in now.

We'll attack from
inside and out,

get that Mach 6 faster
than greased lighting.

( theme music playing )
