Villains of Valley View (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Trouble Is Coming To Town - full transcript

Hey, who's ready for
family movie night?

Seriously? This is
how we're gonna spend

our weekends from now on? Yep,

this is what
ordinary families do,

and now that we're
"The Mayhems,"

we are an ordinary family.

I found the remote.

Think I also found
a rat problem.

Everyone just act normal.

Oh, look, everybody.
It's our landlady Celia

and her granddaughter Hartley.



Hello, landlady Celia
and her granddaughter Hartley.

Your first months rent
is ten bucks short.

Oh, sorry about that.
Can you break a twenty?

Nope.

You look really familiar. Do
I know you from somewhere?

No, I don't think so.

- Well, we were just about to start family movie night.
- Great.

What are we watching? I
love a good war movie.

Uh, on second thought, we
really should get some rest.

We're still adjusting to the
time difference here in Texas.

Remind me where
you're from again.

Tallahassee.
Delaware. Taiwan. Boston.

We never... stay in the
same place too long.

Well, that's a red flag.



I'll take next month'srent, too.

You are gonna love Texas.

- Everyone's super friendly.
- I can tell.

What brought you here anyway?

Oh, you know, we
just needed a change.

- It's straight!
- Yeah,

for someone who put it up
with their eyes closed.

It's as straight
as it's gonna get.

All right!

Mom should be here soon

and this promotion is a big deal

for our entire
supervillain family.

What I'm trying to say is

Ka-ching!

Daddy's gonna buy
a getaway boat.

Hey, what's wrong with you?

I've been 13 for a month now

and I still don't have my power.

I mean, I don't even
have a villain name.

My whole life, you guys have
called me "Number Three."

Well, if it makes
you feel any better,

we also call you other things.

Don't worry, you'll
get your power

unless you're some
freak of nature.

In which case, we'll still
tell you we love you.

We'll just be laughing
behind your back.

What's wrong, honey?
Don't like the banner?

I busted my butt

to be Chief Commander of
the League of Villains

and instead, Onyx promotes
that half-lizard freak Slither!

Oh, I like her! She's...

Not nearly as good at
her job as you are!

Don't worry, Mom, you'll
get 'em next time!

Oh, there won't be a next time.

Because I'm gonna tell
Onyx that this family

is done being villains!

What?!

- Well, we have to get together another night.
- Bye!

- Thank you for coming.
- Bye!

Ugh, being nice is exhausting!

Don't worry, Mom.

Okay, I'm gonna fix this.

I'm gonna find a way
to get our lives back.

It's too late.

All that's left now is to
settle into our mediocre lives

here in the middle of nowhere

and hope Onyx and the other
villains don't find us.

Don't forget about
the authorities.

Or the superheroes. They'd
love to take us down.

Yeah, what's their
problem with us anyway?

I mean, aside from wanting
to take over the world

and annihilate
anyone in our path...

we're just like everybody else!

That's weird. The bell rang

but there's still
twenty minutes of class.

Yeah, weird.

Amy. Did you use
your sonic power

- to mimic the bell so you could get out of class early?
- No.

Jake Mayhem,
please report to the principal's office...

Amy!

Relax. I'm just having fun.

Plus, I had to get out of class.

My Math teacher is trying
to make me look bad.

This is the fourth "F"
he's given me in two weeks!

Uh, well, maybe it's because

your answer to
every question is:

"Can't read girl's
test next to me.'

You know what? That
teacher is gonna pay.

There's about to be a
"mysterious" sonic boom

in the faculty parking lot.

Amy!

You do know that every
time you use your powers

you're putting us
all in danger, right?

Jake, I've been a
villain my entire life.

I've always done whatever
I want, whenever I want.

You can't just expect
me to stop now.

I'm doing it.

You're not
helping your case.

Look, I know it's an adjustment,

but you can change.

Maybe this'll help.

"How To Become A Better Person"?

Yeah, I've been
working on becoming

a better version of myself.

All my life I've been Chaos,

the "bad guy" with
super-strength,

but according to this book,

my true strength
lies right here.

Amy, I'm trying
to help you here.

To become a better person,

you have to step out
of your comfort zone

and do things you've never done.

Like make a friend.

Jake, I don't make friends

and even if I did, who would
I be friends with here?

Hey, neighbors.

No, no way. Not Hartley.

She's happy, polite, and
sees the good in everyone.

She's everything I despise.

Exactly.

My book says you should
challenge yourself

to suppress your bad instincts,

which is why you should

hang out with her after school.

Yeah, that's
never going to happen.

Too late!

Hi... Hi, Hartley.

Um...

I was wondering if maybe
you would want to...

What I mean is,
maybe we could...

Get you a bucket?

She wants to hang
out after school.

Oh, you mean like be friends?

Mm-hmm.

That would be amazing!

I mean, we live so close,

we could hang out all the time.

I'll see you at your
house after school...

and every day after that.

Yay, you did it!

Eva, your evil genius
husband, just created a device

that can trap anyone
in another dimension.

I thought you were
fixing the microwave.

This was the microwave.

Check it out.

Whoa!

Excuse me, you almost
trapped your wife

in another dimension.

Well, you're always saying
I never take you anywhere.

Fine, I'll put it in the
secret lair in the basement.

We don't have a basement.

We do now.

Oh, can we just move down
here and not tell the kids?

I was gonna move down
there and not tell you.

Hey, how about I lock you
down there and I tell no one?

Ooh.

Did you buy a water cooler?

No, I just assumed
you bought it.

Surprise! I finally
got my power.

I'm a shapeshifter.

Oh, I was more excited
about the water cooler.

Wow, a shapeshifter
just like his grandpa,

may he rest in peace.

I mean, if he is dead.

I'm pretty sure he
just shape-shifted

into a coffin to avoid
grandma's nagging.

And congrats, Colb.

But remember, no using your
power outside the house ever.

Well, I was hoping
we could use it

to scare the pants
off the locals

If we did that, we'd be
terrible role models.

I'm in.

Okay, Hartley should
be here any minute.

Oh, Jake, this is
a waste of time.

I don't want friends.

I want to be back home
living my old life

and plotting revenge against

everyone's favorite
superhero, Starling.

Still mad because
you kicked your butt?

She did not kick my butt.

Come on, the
whole world saw it.

There's even a meme.

What?!

Who would even make
something like that?

I did.

Now you know why I'm trying
to be a better person.

Okay, she's here.

Remember, control your
villain instincts.

Will you chill? I've got this.

Hey, Amy.

Wow, held out longer than
I thought.

Sorry about that, Hartley.
This place is drafty.

Sorry I'm late,

I had a meeting with
the Sunshine Club.

For students who find ways
to help the community,

You know, spread
a little sunshine.

Since we're friends,
you're an honorary member.

Oh, this is too good to pass up.

Oh, it's four o'clock.

Catching Up With
the Supers is on.

The superhero reality show?

How can you watch that junk?

"Junk"?

Superheroes are inspiring.

They represent the best
parts of all of us.

- Starling.
- There's Starling,

she's my favorite.

Uh-oh.

Even though I'm a
superhero with incredible powers,

I just want what every
other girl wants.

Good friends,
social media likes,

and for all of you

to buy my new Starling light-up
high tops, in stores now.

Isn't she amazing?

Not even Havoc's Sonic
Scream could take her down.

Starling totally
kicked her butt.

Yeah, I'm pretty
sure she didn't.

- I'm pretty sure she did.
- I'm pretty sure she didn't.

I'm pretty sure...

I'm pretty sure you should
quit now before this gets ugly.

Okay, Amy, why don't we
go make some popcorn?

Oh, I'm gonna make
something pop.

Amy, breathe, Hartley
is challenging you

not to use your
villain instincts,

and you're doing great.

Ah! No. Give...

me... the fork.

Give me the fork!

Uh, wait, didn't there used
to be a microwave over there?

Oh yeah, Dad turned
it into that device

that can zap people
into another dimension.

Like really annoying
perky people.

Amy, Amy! Come
back, Get back here.

You've gotta see
this view of Havoc

after Starling kicked her butt.

I saw the meme!

Not this one. I just made it.

- That's it!
- Amy, no!

Wow, Jake, for a good person,

you just did a really
bad thing.

I just sent our neighbor
to another dimension.

What are we gonna do?

I say we rifle
through her closet.

Hey! Say hello to our new dog.

We figured he'd
help us to blend in.

- Go ahead, pet him.
- I'm good.

Oh, come on, pet him.

- I don't wanna pet him.
- Will you just pet the dog?!

Fine.

Aw, he's gonna cute.
Who's a good boy?

Who's a good boy...? Ahhh!

I love scaring children.

I got my power.

Oh, we've been using it to
mess with people all day.

Oh, oh, and if you
see a news story

about a bull
driving a golf cart,

that was me!

What is wrong with you people?

We're supposed to
be blending in.

He is right.

Shame on you for doing something

that could expose our secret.

Hey, Jake, what do you do today?

Uh... Dad,

we may have used your device

to send Hartley to
another dimension.

Oh, "we"? No, no.
That was all you.

And it was delightful.

Hartley, you in there?

It's Celia. What
are we gonna do?

Really?! Way to have our backs.

Shh. If we're quiet,
she'll go away.

Oh, look. She has a key.

Uh, hey, Celia. We were
just playing a game

Uh, "Who could go the longest
without answering the door."

That's a stupid game.

Where's Hartley?

She said she was coming here,

but she's not
answering her phone.

Hartley... I... I
haven't seen Hartley,

Amy, have you seen Hartley?

Oh, come on!

Okay.

Wow, now this is what
I call a secret lair.

- Were you ever tell us about this place?
- Nope.

But at least now we can all
use it as an escape from Jake.

- There you are.

- Did you get rid of Celia?
- No.

And if she finds out
Hartley's missing,

she's gonna call the police

and they're gonna
start asking questions

and we'll be on the run again

and I have a really big
Spanish test tomorrow

that I wanna do muy bueno on

And that, kids, is
why we call Jake

the dented can of the family.

All right, look, this
device can only send people

to another dimension,
but it's possible

I could make a similar
device to send Hartley

from the other
dimension to here.

I would just need some time.

Well, how do we stall Celia?

Ooh. I have an idea.

Stop sulking, Colby.

At least you get to use
your shapeshifting power.

I will never forgive
you for this.

Yeah, yeah, add it
to the list. Come on.

What's up, Celia?

Excuse me?

Where have you been?

We're late for your
dentist appointment.

Dentist appointment?

She hates the dentist.

Always trying to get
out of it. Let's go.

Hartley, come on.

Don't leave. No, stay.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Hartley, get in the car.

Wait!

You can't go yet

because there's a
problem in the house.

The lights keep flickering.

Not since I've been here.

Aye, that's dangerous.

Ooh. You should
probably fix that now.

Hartley, go get my tool belt.

Okay, the new
device is finished.

Now we just have to figure out

which one of us is
going in to get her.

Me? Why me?

Come on! It'll be
like our villain days.

I always pushed you first.

You remember the volcano?

You screamed all the way down.

Yeah it was a volcano.

-That was the dumbest
idea for -Oh, come on...

a Christmas card we've ever had.

Ahh! I'll go!

Even another dimension has
to be better than this place.

Uh, Dad, these
devices are identical.

Yup, I'm that good.

So which is the new one?

- You don't know?
- Of course, I know.

That one.

Are you sure?

Yes, here. I'll approve it.

Hop through the portal.

Once you're in
there, count to two,

hit the button, you'll
pop right back out.

Okay, if you say so.

One Mississippi,
two Mississippi...

I really thought that
was the right one.

Unbelievable.

Oh, who am I kidding?

It's my dad. Totally believable.

Amy!

What's going on?

What is this place and
how did I get here?

Funny story.

My dad's a scientist and
he created this device.

It can send people
to another dimension,

but it sent you here,
so I came to save you.

But my dad gave me
the wrong device

so now we're both stuck here
until he comes and saves us.

Whew! Is that an
inter-dimensional sunrise?

Pretty, let's watch it.

Amy, I don't want to be here.

This place is creepy.

Oh, it's not that bad.

Aside from those giant
rocks flying towards us.

Get down!

Okay, now I really
want out of here.

Don't worry, I'm sure my
dad will be here any minute.

One of us has to go in
there and save them.

I know, I know.

You hungry?

What is up with these rocks?

Look out!

- That was close.

Uh-oh.

- Hartley, I can explain!
- That was a Sonic Blast.

I knew you looked familiar.

You're Havoc!

Yeah, well, that
pretty much sums it up.

That means your dad isn't
just some scientist,

he's Craniac!

You and your entire
villain family

have been hiding out
of my grandma's house.

What was that?

I think I just figured out why
these rocks are flying around

When we got zapped
here, it created a rift

in the dimensional continuum

and it's sucking everything in.

What does that mean?

Let's just say it
looks like you've

attended your last
Sunshine Club meeting.

Great, so not only
did you lie to me

and sent me to
another dimension,

now you're gonna get me
sucked into a black hole.

- Oh, Hartley, so dramatic.

I have every right to be.

How could you not tell
me you're a villain?

Well, aside from the fact
that we're on the run,

it's not really the kind of
thing to share with people.

You could have told me.

I thought you wanted
to be my friend.

Why would you betray me?

Because I'm a villain.

Maybe Amy on the outside,
but on the inside,

I'm still Havoc.

And the only person I have
ever cared about is me.

Well, and my family. That's
why we're on the run.

What do you mean?

I guess since we're about to be

sucked into the
sky, I can tell you.

Well, there won't be a next time

because I am going to tell Onyx

that this family is
done being villains.

What?

No way, we can't
stop being villains.

It's who we are.

I'll talk to Onyx.

- No.
- But my mom worked really hard.

Your mother isn't worthy
of leading my evil legions.

She can't even lead
her own family.

That's why you were
defeated by Starling.

You're all weak.

I don't care who you are.

No one calls my family weak.

How dare you?

Destroy her and her family.

- How did it go?
- Not good.

Run!

- Wow.
- Yeah.

I should have just
kept my mouth shut

and none of this
would have happened.

No! Standing up for your family

is always the right thing to do.

You know, you may be
Amy on the outside,

but after hearing that,

I actually gotta respect
the Havoc on the inside.

Thanks.

This is bad. I wish
Starling was here.

- To save us?
- No, so she gets sucked in, too.

Look, it's Jake!

Finally. You didn't
want to come, did you?

Of course, not.
Dad pushed me in.

Behind you!

Well, way to go, Jake.

Now she knows our secret.

Found your tool belt, Grandma.

I also found your crossbow?

What's a woman your age
doing with a crossbow?

You keep talking about my
age and you'll find out.

I'll go check the fuse box.

- No, no!
- Hartley, wait!

Grandma!

Hartley?

Hartley?

No, um...

Flickering lights must
have messed with your eyes.

That's...

Colby.

Sup, Celia?

Grandma! You will never
believe what just...

You know what? Never
mind. I missed you.

Miss me? You've been
here the whole time.

I have?

Here she goes again,
pretending she bumped her head

so she doesn't have
to go to the dentist.

Well, speaking of which,

you should go.

Well, what about the
flickering lights?

I've grown used to it.

Kind of like a disco.

Hey! Wait.

You didn't tell
her what happened.

And risk her knowing the truth?

I couldn't do that to my friend.

Look, you may be villains,

but everyone deserves
a chance to be better.

Your secret's safe with me.

By the way, Jake,
you're in the clear.

Amy's the one who
told me your secret.

Gotta stay honest. See ya.

You told her our secret?!

Who's the dented can now?

Still you.

- What a day, huh?
- It certainly was.

Are your parents still freaked
out that I know the secret?

A little.

It's crazy to think that if we
didn't go to another dimension,

I might never know the truth.

But now that I do,

I guess we're
officially friends.

Yeah. I guess we are.
Just don't tell Jake.

I can't give him that victory.

Okay.

I know your life is
upside down right now,

now, but maybe I can
help you just a little.

You know, teach you not
to always be so bad.

I couldn't be called that
as long as I can teach you

not to always be so nice.

I mean, you're a total doormat.

And you're a sociopath.

Then this should work out well.
