Speed: Previously
on "Speed Racer"...

I'd like to introduce
my best racers.

- Hi, I'm--
- Speed Racer.

I've been waiting
for this moment.

You're going down.

Yeah, ready to get smoked
by Alpha Leader?

Guys, where's
your hospitality?



I'm Alpha.
Great to meet you.

Hey, Lucy,
I found Annalise's car.

Those little Alpha creeps.

What is this room?

Hey, that looks like
a virtual track.

( alarm blares )

Whoa.

Dad? You're back!

I need you to protect
the Mach 6.

There's more to that car
than we know.

C-force is directly related
to the square

of the speed of the car
and the radius of the turn.

The bigger the radius,
the less force is needed.

To do a spin
without flipping...

takes practice, skill,
and a knowledge of physics.

Who are those guys?

I don't know.

They look official.

For homework,
I'd like you to write a paper

on using C-force
in stunt driving.

See you at the assembly.

Hey, you guys see me
take that turn?

I creamed the Deuceys.

Like it's hard.
I can take the Deuceys.

Yeah, right.

Guys, what is going on?

( scanner beeping )

What, Chim-Chim?

Aliens are attacking
and they sent the military

to protect us from
an intergalactic war?

He didn't say that,

But wouldn't it be cool?

Spritle: Students and teachers,

as there has been
an alarming amount

of sabotage
at the Racer Academy,

the track being compromised
and our cars

having been tampered with,
I've hired

an outside security team
to patrol the school.

Let me introduce the head
of security, Mr. Pinky Ring.

We're here to protect you.

The easier you make our job,

the faster your school
will return to normal.

- This stinks.
- I think it's kind of coo.

It's like airport security.

Dude,
put your shoes back on.

I could be hiding
a lethal weapon in these.

Ugh, trust me, you are.

( scanner beeping,
Chim-Chim chattering )

Take him away.

But he's my monkey.
He's harmless.

You'll get him back
after inspection.

Still like security?

- ( siren wailing )
- Great, what now?

Hey, isn't that Zile?

What?

( scoffs )
What's he doing here?

This is so embarrassing.

Annalise, hello,
sweetheart.

( scoffs )

Come on, we'd better
go check on the Mach 6.

Zile? I didn't expect to
see you out of jail so soon.

My sentence was reduced
to house arrest

with community service.

Yeah! And we got these
cool ankle bracelets!

As I was saying,
I've chosen to do my time

at the Racer Academy.

And what if I say no?

I'm afraid you don't
have much choice.

Under house arrest, I'm bound
to the Racer Academy grounds.

We can't go nowhere,
or else this happens.

( alarm blares intermittently )

( giggles )

I see.

Well, then, I suppose we'll
have to put you to work.

I figured I could have
my old office back,

help out with the finances.

I have a better idea.

Two of our employees
just quit,

and we have an opening.

Home sweet home, huh, boss?

Oh, shut up.

That man...

That man...

I know I've seen him before.
Who is he?

A hall monitor?

He's 40 years old.
Hall monitor.

Maybe he stayed back
a grade.

Maybe they know
I'm out of jail.

What if they're
looking for me?

Don't worry, boss.
I'll protect you.

Get off me!

( screams )

I realize this
doesn't look good.

( scanner beeping )

Hey, what are you doing?

Standard procedure.

We're scanning all cars
for signs of sabotage.

There's no sabotage.
I checked it myself.

Just doing our job.
It'll only take a second.

- Something's screwy.
- What are you talking about?

The car has some sort
of protective shield.

Ha! Your scanner can't
get past my deflector guard,

which blocks
unauthorized access.

We need to find a way
to override it.

I'm afraid it can't be done.
I'll show you out.

- Boot it.
- What?!

( laughs )
You've been booted, bro.

- You can't do that!
- We have rights.

Do you have a permit
to do this?

This vehicle
is not safe to drive.

Until we get an accurate scan,
it's not going anywhere.

Great.
Can you get it off?

There's no use.
It's computerized.

Only the scan
can release it.

Dad wouldn't like this.

We're not supposed to let
anyone near the Mach 6.

You are dad
are both paranoid/

Maybe X is right.

I mean, they are
here to protect us.

If Chim-Chim were here,
he could break the boot.

Come on, let's go to lunch.
It's fish sticks day.

Chim-Chim loved fish sticks.

The security situation is
making me lose my appetite.

I know, they're everywhere.

What? I'm hungry.

Chim-Chim loved tater tots.

Hold me.

Ugh.

Hello, sugar plum!
Fish sticks of meatballs?

I recommend the meatballs.
They're real meaty.

I'll take a meatball!

Dad, can't you work
somewhere else?

You're embarrassing me!

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

This is not how I envisioned
my career going either.

Mitch: Meatballs, please!

Now smile and listen.

I think those security guards
are after me.

I need you and your little
friends to investigate.

( scoffs ) Dad,
you're being paranoid.

Yes, pumpkin,
being a stalked by a network

of deadly underground assassins
will do that to you.

Can I just have
some meatballs?!

Hey!

My fantasy is coming true!

( students shouting )

- Let's get out of here.
- Yeah, good idea.

Does your dad really think

those security guards
are up to something?

You're gonna trust the guy
in the orange jumpsuit?

Takes a creep
to know a creep.

Can we stop talking
about my dad?!

These security guys
might be annoying meat heads,

but they're definitely
not smart enough to be spies.

I'll need to see some I.D.

- ( scoffs ) What?
- You heard me.

( chuckles ) Okay.

You think you can just
waltz into our school

and make demands?

If you don't like it,
you can take detention.

What?!

You can't send me to detention
with the rejects and freaks!

Get off me!

I'll save you, my love!

( screams )

Through nonviolent
administrative procedure.

Well, now she's their problem.

Guys!

Okay, who wants to play
video games?

You coming?

I'll catch up to you.

I swear, I don't know
anything about the car.

Maybe this'll jog
your memory.

Oh, man!
That was my homework.

You can do it over
in detention.

( laughs )

What?

What are you doing?

Well, we can't race,

so we're doing
the next best thing.

Guys, I think Zile
is right.

There is something weird
about these security guys.

You heard Annalise.
Even she thinks he's paranoid.

Don't you think they're getting
a little detention-happy?

Annalise was mouthing off,
as usual.

I know, but I just saw them
roughing up Mitch for no reason.

That's not cool.

And detention is filled
with kids.

They can't all be
breaking the rules.

Yeah! What did Chim-Chim
ever do to anyone?

Maybe we should look
into it just to be safe.

Seriously?

Fine.

I gotta start hanging out
with a new crowd.

If they really are bad,

I wonder what they've
done to Chim-Chim.

We're just being safe.
I'm sure he's fine.

( beeping )

What do you mean
it didn't work?

They have some sort
of protective shield.

We can't get a read on it.

We'll have to fix the scanner
to override the shield.

Ugh, bring me that monkey.

( chattering softly )

not that monkey,
you moron.

The robot monkey.

( chattering )

We'll fix the scanner
and use the monkey for parts.

Get the tool box.
( laughs )

Hey, he can't go in there.

( cell phone rings )

They have master keys.

They're going
into Annalise's dorm.

What have you got?

They're breaking
in the lockers.

Spritle sure
can pick security.

Whoa, check it out.

This kid is sick.

He's obsessed with Speed Racer.
Creeps me out.

It follows you
with its eyes.

That's not what
we're here for.

What are you here for?
To break into kids' lockers?

Shouldn't you be in class?

Gotcha.

Let me guess--
detention?

Let's go.

Can't we just zoom in
from here?

I think we did it.

We used the monkey's
X-ray hardware.

Good, now get me the scan.

Toss the rest of
the monkey pieces out.

( bleeps )

Look for anything suspicious.

Ooh, cookies!

It's the logo.

They're working for
the shadowy organization.

We have to stop the Mach 6
from being scanned.

They're heading towards
the garage.

Come on, I know another way.

- What's the plan?
- I didn't install the Mach 6

with special camo functions
for nothing.

Seriously?

Just working on
the parade float.

I think we're gonna win
this year.

Uh, y-yeah, totally.

It worked.

Just use
the invisibility shield.

Yeah, boss, we tried, but
there's just some parade float.

They're trying to trick you,
you moron.

Get back in there
and scan it!

Enough with the games.
We're scanning that car.

Uh, what car?

Do I look like
an idiot to you?

Uh...

Ta-da! Told ya.

I think I'm cracking up.

Hey, pull yourself
together.

- Where is it?
- We don't know.

They're lying.
Grab 'em.

Agh! Ah!

Hey!

You missed a spot.

Forget the floors!
We have to escape, you idiot!

But mom's so proud of me
now that I got an honest job.

Can't you see?
They're weeding everyone out.

Putting them in detention so
they have a clear path to me.

We have to find a way
to get out of here.

But how?
Our pretty bracelets will go--

( imitates alarm )

- ( Chim-Chim bleeping )
- Quiet! Do you hear that?

( bleeping continues )

It's coming from in there.

It's speed little monkey friend.
I've heard he's very useful.

( chatters )

- What's he saying?
- I don't know.

If they did this to him,
think of what they'll do to me.

Hey, little guy.
Don't be afraid.

( chatters )

I think we can help
each other out.

If you can remove
these little bracelets,

I'll fix you and bring you
back to your friends.

Good, I help your friends,
and you help me.

Get the leg.

Okay, boss.

That's a soda can,
you meat head.

You guys too?

Those guys
are out of control.

They're with
the shadowy organization.

They're trying to get a scan
on the Mach 6.

If they're the ones
doing the sabotage,

why do they need a scan?

The scan is like
a blueprint of the Mach 6.

They can use it
to build their own.

Whatever is on that scan is what
they've been after from day one.

We can't let them have it.

They're gonna find out about
the invisibility shield.

We have to get out of here
before they take the scan.

Good luck, they patrol
the place every few minutes.

( Chim-Chim bleeping
and clattering )

Chim-Chim!
What happened to you?

( chattering )

I fixed him.

We don't have time.
We'll fix him later, come on.

Hey, they're getting away!

I'm way too cool for this.

Come on.

That wasn't so hard,
was it?

Have a nice day.

We're too late.
They have the scan.

We can't let them
get away with this.

We have to get the disc back.

Well, we can drive now.

The boot was automatically
released when they
scanned the car.

One step ahead of you.

I'll catch up with you.

What's the plan?

How are we gonna get a disc
from a moving car?

I was gonna play it by ear.

Great.

- Back me up.
- Why do you get the fun part?

Going somewhere?

Dude, he's got darts.

I'm fine.
Get him off me.

I got this.

Nice!
Two down, one to go.

Speed: Whoo-hoo!

How many fingers
am I holding up?

Shut up.

Hey, guys.
I'll just be needing this.

This isn't the end.

Thank goodness you kids
are okay.

Yeah, and I fixed Chim-Chim.
He's good as new.

All this time, I thought
I had to keep an eye on Zile.

Zile Zazic tried to warn us.

Security was working
for the shadowy organization

Those guys are everywhere.

Yes, they are.

We'll have to be extra
careful from now on.

- And you got back the disc?
- It's right here.

We better check it to make sure
we got the right one.

Looks like the Mach 6.

- Huh?
- What is it?

Right there, it looks like
a space for another part.

You're right.

What's supposed to
go in there?

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

I don't know any car part
that's shaped like that.

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.

( theme music playing )
