Spy Kids: Mission Critical (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Episode #2.4 - full transcript

[Murna] Spy Academy,
put your hands together

for the winner of this year's

Face of Espionage & Intrigue Magazine
competition,

-our very own, Ace!
-[upbeat music playing]

-[cheering]
-Oh!

[cheering continues]

Oh! He's gonna do it! He's gonna do it!

WA-DAP!

[sighs]

[clicks tongue]

[cheering]



-[squeals, groans]
-Ugh. I think I'm gonna be sick.

-[sighs]
-Yep. Definitely gonna be sick.

His runway work is not half bad.
For amateur.

-Totes!
-[groans]

[cadets whooping]

-[Juni] Humph.
-[sighing]

What I wouldn't give
for a SWAMP attack right now.

[watch beeping]
Alert! Alert! Juni Cortez, danger!

Thank you, Golden Brain.

[goons grunting]

[goon] Huh?

[grunts]

[goon 2] Huh?

Hmm.



-[goon grunts]
-[yelps]

Hey... [grunts]

[beeping]

Who was that, Headmaster?

Unfortunately, we have no idea.

And this wasn't the only one.

The mystery agent knocked out

several different SWAMP locations
we weren't aware of until now.

Wow. Information like that
could really help us

stay two steps ahead of Golden Brain.

Yeah. With someone like this on our side,

we could really score a major victory
against old Gold Dome.

Did someone say "major victory"?
[clicks tongue]

-Ooh...!
-Hmm?

-[chuckles, snorts]
-[sighs]

Not sure if you all heard,

but you are looking at

the new face
of Espionage & Intrigue Magazine.

[chuckles]

Not sure if we heard?
There was a whole parade about it!

Good thing it was before lunch
or Clemp would have had mopping to do.

-[both growl]
-Ah, yes.

I remember when I was
the face of Espionage & Intrigue.

Seems like only yesterday.

Mission Critical,

we must find out
who this mystery agent is.

The information they have
may be very valuable to us,

but we also cannot have a rogue agent

making their own rules.

Arrivederci, bambini.

"Face of Espionage & Intrigue, 1972."

1972? How is that even possible?

She doesn't look a day over 30.

-A good moisturizer can do wonders.
-Hmm.

So, are you going to check out
the locations for clues?

Not yet. Golden Brain's tricky.

Never can tell if this could be
one of his traps.

-Right. Good point.
-[Ace] I've got it.

-You know who the mystery agent is?
-Mystery agent?

No. Even better.

I got everyone a complimentary copy
of my magazine cover.

-One for you, one for you,
-Huh?

-and one for you.
-Ugh! [moans]

Why don't you take two, Tango?

-[clicks tongue]
-[laughs]

Thanks, Ace-mate.
I was thinking about getting a puppy.

This will come in handy
with house training.

Humph! Whatever, Junior.
No spy has ever been

the face of Espionage & Intrigue
for back-to-back years.

But I'm gonna be the first.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I have facial training to do.

-[sighing]
-All right, now that the Ace show is over,

-let's get back to work.
-[sighing]

Even you, Tango.

[sighs]

Hey!

[Ace chuckling]

Hmm? Oh, if it isn't

the face of not bothering to show up
for mission briefings on time.

I had important work to do.
It takes a lot to look this good.

Plus, I only have 363 days
to train for next year's cover.

You're fine with that, right, Tango?

[sighing] Ah-hh!

PSI, you had something to share?

Yes. I color-enhanced the satellite image

to see if we could pick up
any additional clues to our rogue agent.

-And... boom!
-Eh?

Improv.

Hmm?

I'm pretty sure that's a rock.

No. It's him, Juni. I know it!

PSI, magnify that satellite image.
Glitch, bring up a picture of Improv.

Mm-hmm. Gablet, access dossier
photo number six-one, please.

[beeping]

Ooh! Super cute. Who's that?

No one special. [chuckles]

[Carmen] Now if you look very carefully,
you can see the same high cheekbones,

the strong jaw line.

[chuckles] The eyes.

Hey, Tango, did I mention that my eyes

won both the Piercing
and Steely Gaze competitions?

Ugh!

[Carmen sighs] Ah-hh!

Yeah, but he's no
face of Espionage & Intrigue, right?

[Gablet] Probably because
he didn't compete.

-Huh?
-According to my algorithms,

Agent Improv is actually 1.5 percent
more symmetrical than you.

He's what?

Gablet! IDK. Hashtag, sorry.

I still haven't worked out
all the bugs with her yet.

And no one's perfectly symmetrical,
BT-dubs.

-[Gablet] Yeah-uh. Check it.
-[gasps]

[Gablet] Your vermilion border
is .03 millimeters thicker on the left,

your earlobes have a full quarter
centimeter differential.

Nice job hiding it with your hair.

And don't even get me started
on your philtral ridge.

OMG, Gablet!
What has gotten into you today?

Yeah? Well, symmetry isn't everything!

Improv may have the numbers,
but can he do this?

-Juni, you know I'm right.
-Tango?

-It's Improv. I just told you.
-[Juni sighs]

-Can you just stop! You know I'm right.
-Awkward!

Don't worry. That was just phase one.

Here comes the wink and hearty chuckle.

-You didn't solve the problem.
-For once, it's not right.

-It's just not right. It's not possible.
-Listen to your sister.

Okay. I didn't want to have to do this,

but this calls for the W-A-D-P.

The "Wink and Double Point."
The ol' "WA-DAP."

[slurps, spits]

No, not the "WA-DAP."
No one can resist that.

Why won't you listen?
You never listen.

-WA-DAP!
-Listen to your sister, Juni!

Ace, what are you doing?

-Why won't you just listen to me?
-[Gablet] It's all about the symmetry.

Gablet, what has gotten into you?

Quarter-centimeter differential?

And what's a "philtral ridge"?

Calm down, Ace,
anger lines will ruin your face.

But what if Improv
gets nominated next year? I'm sunk.

Maybe some soothing didgeridoo will help.

[man] Hey there, need a new face?

-Let me help!
-Huh?

I'm Dr. Chad Jericho.

And superspies from around the globe

have been making Chad Jericho
their one-stop shop

for all of their face-related spy needs.

Why isn't my music working?

New identity? Special missions?

Deep cover! I do it all!

So when you're ready for your new look,

let me make your next face
your best face.

[sighs]

[didgeridoo music playing]

[screams]

Run!

[cadet gasps]

[yelps]

[screams]

[gasps]

[screaming]

WA-DAP!

-[screaming]
-[gasps]

[all laughing]

Oh, look, if it isn't
the face of "Not As Good As Improv."

I take back compliments.

You are not even good for amateur.

Totes.

You'll never be as good as Improv.

Never, I say. Never!

[group] Never. Never. Never!

[gasps, panting]

Just a dream... but it felt so real.

Too real.

[groans]

Ugh!

[gasps] Huh?

-Huh?
-Ugh!

Hey!

Take it easy, Ace. It was only a dream.

-Only a dream. Your face is fine.
-[laughing]

What are you laughing at?

I am not a monster!
I'm almost perfectly symmetrical.

[gasps]

Get it together, Ace.

You're still
the face of Espionage & Intrigue Magazine.

You're still the face.

[sighs] Time to do your facial exercises.

[yelps] Symmetry!
How did I never see this before?

Hmm?

Dr. Jericho?

"To be the best,
you've got to look your best.

Don't face your problems,
solve your problems with a new face."

Okay, Dr. Jericho,
let's see what you got.

Are you ready...

for your new face?

Are you excited?

[laughing] I'm excited.

[Golden Brain] Hard to tell.
You only have the one expression.

All right! This nose, with his eyes,
that mouth, and... whoa!

The other one's ears on that cranium!

[Golden Brain] Excellent. I am very close
to obtaining the Pinnoquinox serum

and thus, getting into my new
superhuman android body.

But it will all be for nothing without
the perfect face to go along with it.

-[Jericho] Voilà!
-Huh?

-Ew, that's--
-Perfection! I know. It's what I do.

-[Golden Brain] "Terrifying."
-Oh. Is it the nose?

-We could go Roman.
-No, no! Hold on!

Don't go rushing to the Roman!

I don't want options. I want perfection.

A singular vision
to match my powerful new body.

A golden Adonis.

Oh. [chuckles]

Well, I'm very sad you didn't like
what I picked out for you.

[Golden Brain] You are?

But I assure you
that I will have your perfect face.

Chad Jericho never lets a client down.

You can trust this face, Golden Brain.

[Golden Brain shudders]
Ugh! That is unnerving.

Time is of the essence, Chad.

I don't care what you have to do
or how you do it.

Get me my face or I will be forced
to take drastic action.

Mm-hmm, a negative review.

No, please, anything but that.
My reviews are my life.

[Golden Brain] It appears
I have your attention now.

At least I think I do. Hard to tell.
I do, right?

No matter. Get me my face!

[Juni] It's impossible, Carm.

Those two Swampies are too far
from each other to be one person.

Not for Improv!

-[Juni] It's not right.
-I have really good eyesight.

Still not sure what got
into Gablet earlier.

She was acting totes weird.

You know, I've been thinking,

maybe I should enter the Face of Espionage
& Intrigue competition next year.

[laughing] You?

What?
I do have a certain urbane charm. Don't I?

[slurps]

Okay, let us see runway walk.

[grunts]

[chuckles]

[gasps, yelps]

[Glitch gasps]

[yelping]

How was that?

If I could feel pity,
I would feel that for you.

Instead, I must laugh. Ha.

[moans]

[Jericho on recording]
A new identity. A new beginning.

A new life.

We have thousands of looks to choose from,

with new ones coming in all the time.

And if you buy a new face today,
you'll receive a punch card

good for one free face after every five.

Every five faces?

[mumbling]

-Uh, maybe this was a mistake.
-[receptionist] Patient 24601.

The doctor will see you now.

[mumbles]

[sighs]

[Jericho] No. No. Wrong.
Terrible. Ugh. Hate it.

Nope. Wrong. Ugh. Nope.

[receptionist] Dr. Jericho.

Patient 24601 to see you.

[angelic music playing]

The Golden Adonis.

What, mate?

Oh, nothing, nothing.

Dr. Chad Jericho,
facial reconfigurement artist.

So, you're here
about your face, I take it.

Yes, I thought that--

You could be a little more
"traditionally" handsome.

Well, no, actually,
I just wanted to be more symmetrical.

You know, just little changes.

[chuckling] Nonsense. Nonsense.
Let's just have a look-see.

Okay, first we'll start
with a full eye bleaching for shine,

then lip plumping, and then...

yep, you guessed it, brow implants.

Uh, what's-- what's that mean?

-Oh, lucky day.
-Whoa!

[Dr. Jericho] It means
you are a perfect candidate

for a full face transplant.

Wait. You want to take my face off?

I thought maybe something small.

Well, sure, it starts small,

but, move an ear here, and a lip there,

suddenly, those small things
start to add up.

And you-- [laughs]
you've got a lot of small things.

But... I'm almost symmetrical.

[laughing]

Do you think that I became
the man I am today

by accepting "almost" symmetrical?

[laughing]

Well, okay, maybe I'm wrong about you.

Maybe "almost" is good enough for you,
and that's fine, yeah.

Maybe you're content to sit there,
with that face,

watching life's real winners pass you by.

No, I'm not,
but this all just seems really extreme.

Sometimes you've got to do the extreme
to stay the best.

And you do want to stay the best,
don't you?

-[gulps] Uh-huh.
-Wonderful!

Step outside for just a moment

-and I will get everything ready.
-[Ace grunts]

Whoa! Oof!

[beeping]

[Golden Brain] Oh, Chad,
this is unexpected.

-You look excited? Yes?
-I am.

Oh! You have my face?

Yes. But there's just one tiny problem.

It happens to be in use
at the moment.

But I am about to take care of that.

[cackling]

Wait. What am I doing?

A full-face transplant? Am I bonkers?

[mumbling]

[receptionist]
But you'll finally be perfect.

Look at yourself. Look deep.

No. My whole life,
I have been trying to be perfect,

and it's never enough.

Nothing is perfect.

After all,

I am still the youngest
face of Espionage & Intrigue ever.

Who cares if I don't win next year?

-But you'll finally be perfect--
-No. I've made up my mind.

Dr. Jericho, I've changed my mind.

I'm keeping my face right where it is.

What? Ace, I...

I thought we discussed this.
You were going to be perfect!

This angers me greatly.

-It does? Huh?
-[slams]

[whirring]

[laughs] You might not want a new face,

but I'm still going to need your old one.

Uh, I'm feeling kind of attached to it
at the moment.

[scanner whirrs]

[laughs] Don't worry.

I'm a doctor. I can fix that for you.

-[grunts]
-[snaps]

Get off me!

Now, hold still.
This won't hurt... forever.

[cackling]

I'm telling you, Carm,
the rogue agent isn't one person.

It's two.

Hi, honey. Is everything okay?

Everything but Juni's brain.

Mom, would you please tell Carmen

that you're the ones that have been
taking out the secret SWAMP bases?

Secret SWAMP bases?
What are you talking about, Junito?

-So, it wasn't you?
-[Ingrid] What wasn't us?

Just Agent Improv taking down
some secret SWAMP bases by himself.

Agent Improv?

I thought you hadn't seen him
since your last encounter.

Carmen has.
Every time she closes her eyes.

-Huh? Juni!
-Oh, Carmen, honey, how adorable.

You have a crush.

-[growls]
-Ay, no, no, no. I do not like this.

Are you telling me my only daughter
is falling in love with a... a superspy?

It's okay, honey, it's okay.
It turned out fine for us.

Sorry, Mom, Dad, gotta go.
Spy stuff calling!

[Awesome laughing]

I hope you had fun,
because now I'm gonna prove

that the mystery man is Improv,

right after I give you a taste
of my new Shock Globs!

Remember, we're family!

-[Ace] Crikey! Crikey!
-Um, guys, it's an SOS from Ace.

Hmm. Probably to alert us
he's lost in his own eyes, again.

OMG, I don't think so.

The signal isn't coming
from inside the Academy.

It's coming from somewhere in the city.

-Scared emoji.
-The city?

He's not just trying to get our attention.
He must really need help.

Luckily, every SOS signal
has embedded GPS coordinates.

So with just a few clicks... Yeah!
Hashtag, got 'em.

All right, Mission Critical, suit up.
The mystery can wait.

We've got a teammate to save.

[grunting]

Golden Brain is going to be so pleased.

[cackling]

The perfect face to go with his new body.

Golden Brain?

Whoa!

Leave that face alone!

[receptionist] I'm sorry, sir.
I told them they needed an appointment.

Yes. And they'll need more than a few

to correct what I'm about to do to them.

[Scorpion] Hup!

Huh! [gasps]

[Scorpion yells]

I need that face!

Agh! We can't get close to Ace
with that laser firing everywhere,

and we can't stop Dr. Frankenweird
when he keeps blocking all our attacks!

[grunts] I believe
I can assist with some of that.

Time to dance!

Oh, dear. [yelps]

Juni! You get Ace. I'll handle the doc.

-[cackling]
-[Awesome yelping]

Ever play Got Your Nose, for real?

Globinator, go! Shock Blobs, away!

[shuddering]

[groans]

-[Awesome yelling]
-[crashing]

Let's get out of here, Ace!

-This won't hurt...
-[whirrs]

...forever.

[screams]

[monitor beeping]

[Golden Brain] Chad, you're looking...
different.

[Jericho] Unfortunately,
your face got away.

But don't worry, I'll get it.
I never disappoint a client.

You can trust this face, Golden Brain.

You say it seemed like the universe
wanted you to go to Jericho?

I know. It sounds silly, but it's true.

First, my music player told me about it.

Then my face looked strange
in the mirror,

then I saw his ad.

There were just so many signs
pointing me there.

That is a lot of coincidences.

Too many.

[panting, yelps]

-I think there's something you should see.
-Eh?

[Awesome] I found it in our room.

-[gasps]
-[Glitch, Scorpion] Whoa!

That's what I was talking about.

It looks like it has a sophisticated

real-time image editor

built in to warp the reflection.

Like a funhouse mirror.

-There is nothing fun about this.
-Huh?

[Juni] "Jericho Products."

This is one of Jericho's trick mirrors.

So someone tricked me
into visiting that crackpot? Junior!

Hey, it wasn't me!

The magazine was open to his ad
on your bed!

No, we were all working
on the rogue agent problem.

Well, it's totes good, then,
that Ace sent us that SOS.

SOS? I didn't send any SOS.

So someone lured Ace to Jericho
and sent an SOS.

Why let us know where he was?

All that did was get us out
of the Academy.

Wait. Jericho said that Golden Brain
needed a new face to go with his new body.

Huh. But to get his new body,
Golden Brain would need...

[both] The Pinnoquinox serum!

Golden Brain is still after it,
and he knows we have it.

But what good does getting us away
from the Academy do?

Unless... it was all a distraction.

A distraction from the inside.

Oh, no, you guys.

Golden Brain has a mole in Spy Academy.
