02x10 - What Lies Below

[bunniefuu]

Dani: Fried chicken, salad, lemonade And our very own private shady spot.

Thanks, Cody! No problem, sis! Blades ( Whispers ): I don't get it.

If Dani likes Taylor, why does she make him eat her potato salad? I think that's her meatloaf.

( Buzzing ) What was that? Oh, sorry, Taylor picnic's over.

Robot, copter mode! ( Action theme playing ) I'll call the team.

Heatwave: Rescue bots, roll to the rescue! ( Sirens blaring ) ( Whistling ) Not so close! Do you see what that thing does to metal? Dad, it's headed toward the docks! ( Buzzing ) Boulder, follow me.

We'll cut it off.

( Helicopter blades churning ) ( Both gasp ) Routine patrol with four bots in stasis years later awoke in the strangest of places Earth was their home now and in addition Optimus Prime gave them this mission learn from the humans serve and protect live in their world earn their respect a family of heroes will be your allies to others remain robots in disguise rescue bots roll to the rescue humans in need heroes indeed rescue bots roll to the rescue rescue bots back off and I'll smash it! Man: Stop! ( Beeps ) ( Buzzing slows and stops ) That device is irreplaceable.

Uncle Woodrow? ( Sighs ) Woodrow.

Uncle Woodrow? Why didn't you tell us you were coming? I can't believe it's you! Uncle? Human term for sibling of a parent.

In this case chief's brother.

Chief didn't tell us he was coming to visit.

Or that he existed.

Wonderful.

( Laughing ) I'll answer your questions, just let me look at you a second.

Cody, you've grown a foot.

Now you'll need three socks.

( Laughs ) Did you kids get my postcards from Dwarma? Or the scorpions I sent from Ecuador? Um never got those.

Oh.

I thought I sent 'em May have forgotten.

Gee, imagine that.

Woodrow, this, uh, floating menace belongs to you? Good to see you too, big brother.

Come here, give me a decent hello.

( Grunting and groaning ) Okay, Woody, okay High-grade titanium Laser drill self-propulsion and sonar tracking That's quite a device, Uncle Woodrow.

Yeah.

It's my deep Earth scout.

Designed to drill underground and collect data.

And you won't believe what it found.

This is it, Charlie.

What I've been looking for my whole life.

Evidence that aliens may have visited the Earth centuries ago.

Well, don't everybody get all excited at once.

We're happy for you, Uncle Woodrow.

It's-it's only that I just wish your homecoming had been a little less Destructive.

Hm sorry, Charlie.

The DES must have accidentally activated, when I was getting off the ferry.

( Sighs ) Speaking of machines ( Chuckles ) Looks like you still have the best toys.

Where on Earth did you get these guys, Charlie? Uh, they're our rescue robots.

Uh, state-of-the-art emergency stuff.

Watch what they can do, Uncle Woodrow! Robots, vehicle mode.

Whoa.

Impressive.

Hey, what's the mileage like? ( Laughs ) Now Woodrow, you c Hey, what's for dinner? ( Groans ) All right, go easy, Woodrow.

This is not dad's old Jalopy.

( Siren blares ) ( Engine roars ) Well that's Uncle Woodrow.

Uncle Woodrow is an archeologist.

Sort of.

And an inventor.

Sometimes.

He's been around the world a lot I think.

He doesn't seem anything like the chief.

Look at me and Graham.

Would you ever think a guy like me.

Could have a brother like him? Come here you.

Wha? Kade! Ha, ha! I'm sure he meant it in a nice way.

All my research has convinced me.

Pictographs, pyramids, Stonehenge They're alien artifacts, every one of them.

But, uh, you kids probably don't believe in aliens, do you? It could happen I'd consider the evidence Nope.

No way.

I wouldn't say that we don't Sit down and eat, Charlie.

Dinner doesn't serve itself.

Somebody has to cook and clean up.

Well, uh, that's good, old Charlie Nose to the grindstone.

Say, pass the potatoes, will you? Then I'll show you what my DES found Heatwave: Ugh, I don't get it.

Why is chief's brother so eager to find an alien, anyway? I know.

With all the amazing things humans have on their own planet, why bother searching for us? Because we're awesome.

But who sends scorpions as gifts? No thank you.

Who knows? Maybe he brought some scorpions along with him ( Yelps ) Very funny.

All I know is, Woodrow burns forced me to drive over the speed limit.

And I was helpless to stop him.

Woodrow: Now most people look for aliens in outer space But my research made me realize We should be looking in inner space.

Underneath the Earth.

So I built and dispatched six DES spheres to gather data.

From all across the planet.

Five of the devices are still out there somewhere, gathering data But this baby uncovered all the evidence I need.

Right in my old hometown.

Well, under it.

A cavern containing proof of a lost alien civilization.

Housing structures Looks like rock formations to me.

Communication signals ( Echoes ) Or water dripping Even aliens themselves Shadows on the wall.

That's the difference between us, Charlie.

I'm curious to know for sure.

So I'm going to borrow the town's old forger, you remember? We found it when were kids, down where the tunnels end.

That giant driller? It hasn't been used in years.

I think I can get it running.

Then I follow the coordinates the DES brought back And I'll finally have my proof.

That is awesome! Hey, you can come with me, Cody.

All of you.

A once-in-a-lifetime journey to the center of the Earth.

Oh, wow sign me up! Sounds great! Woodrow My family can't just drop everything and go off.

On some spur-of-the moment expedition.

Especially Especially with me, right? Give us a minute, will you, kids? You've always been the dreamer of the family, I get that.

But you never see one dream through.

Before you're off, chasing another.

Charlie, that's not Like when we were kids, I'd have to put out the fires you started.

With your bottle rockets, and you'd already be off.

Building a flying bicycle.

Well not all of my expeditions have gone well, I'll give you that.

But this time, with you and the kids along to keep me focused We're not going, Woodrow.

And you can't borrow the tunnel forger.

That's the end of it.

Sorry, kids.

( Button beeps ) ( Buzzing ) The human sibling relationship appears to be a complex one.

Don't bots have brothers or sisters? Nope.

We're all on our own.

Lucky.

But it must get kind of lonely.

Heatwave: There.

I wasn't sure at first, but Optimus: You were right to contact me, Heatwave.

So that blue crystal is Energon.

A new supply that could benefit.

All Autobots for years to come.

Heatwave, prepare your team.

I will be arriving in the morning And then, we go underground.

( Grease sizzling ) Dad, where's Uncle Woodrow? Must've gone out early.

Who knows where.

I might have an idea.

Looks like you were right, Cody.

Wait here, okay, Boulder? ( Action theme plays ) Uncle Woodrow! Uncle Woodrow, what are you doing? Well, I recharged the power cells Now I just have to enter the coordinates for the cavern, and the forger can start digging.

But my dad Your dad thinks my expeditions.

Are hare-brained.

That I don't think things through.

No offense, Uncle Woodrow, but I'm not sure.

That stealing the forger is the best way to prove him wrong.

( Laughs ) You're probably right, Cody.

But you have big brothers.

You know how a nod from them is the nicest feeling in the world.

I just want to show your dad that I'm capable of doing something he can be proud of.

( Beeping ) ( Engine powers up ) ( Electricity flares ) What's happening? The cells must have surged.

We're on auto-pilot! What? Cody: Robot, get us out! ( Grunts ) ( Exclaiming ) No way I'll catch them.

( Into com-link ): Graham? Come in, Graham! ( Dramatic theme plays ) Wha? Ah! ( Screaming ) ( Yells ) ( Yells ) ( Sighs of relief ) ( Solemn theme plays ) Since when does Optimus have a Caboose? Greetings, rescue bots.

Nice rig.

The transport is for carrying Energon to the surface, once the rescue bots and I harvest it from underground.

We'd like to help you if we can.

I do not wish to endanger your family, chief.

Great.

Yet another trip to the center of the Earth.

We won't be making.

But we will require the coordinates your brother found.

Yeah a bit of a problem.

Woodrow's kind of disappeared.

Boulder: Heatwave! Chief! Optimus, thank goodness.

Chief, Cody and your brother The forger took off tunneling, with them inside! Then let's roll to the We'd never reach it, Heatwave.

It has too much of a head start.

It appears our mining expedition is now.

A rescue mission.

For the entire team.

Rescue bots vehicle mode, then on to my transport.

No offense, Optimus, but how can you pulling us.

On a trailer be any faster than going ourselves? Let's just say there is more to this transport.

Than meets the eye.

( Heroic theme plays ) We're nearing the coordinates.

We should be leveling off.

Oh, the controls aren't working! ( Beeping ) My brothers are always telling me not to press Strange buttons, but I think that might be The k*ll button.

Go for it! ( Both yelp ) Cody: Get out, Uncle Woodrow, before we're buried.

( Struggling ) ( Mysterious theme plays ) ( Triumphant theme plays ) Whoa! Noble! ( Laughs ) Whatever that means, I agree.

This looks like the place your DES photographed.

Yup.

We're smack dab where we're supposed to be.

But No way back.

My dad will launch a rescue mission.

He probably already has.

Cody, no one even knows we're down here.

Who's gonna tell them? Your bulldozer? Optimus: Chief burns, I suggest you and your family hold onto something.

What? ( All scream ) Is he crazy? He's Optimus Prime.

Relax.

Statistically speaking, that maneuver should not have worked.

Uncle Woodrow, over here.

Huh Must be the tunnel the DES dug on its exploratory mission.

So it should lead to the surface, right? Even if we could reach it, it's too small to fit through.

Wait I've seen that before.

( Beeps ) The alien housing structure.

Oh, your dad was right.

It's just a rock formation.

( Echoes ) And there's my alien communication signal.

Uncle Woodrow, that doesn't mean we won't find other proof.

You never know, there just might be aliens after all.

( Scoffs ) Yeah.

( Distant chittering ) They found us! I told you they would.

( Triumphant theme plays ) ( Chittering continues ) I'm not so sure.

( Chittering grows louder ) ( Theme turns threatening ) ( Loud chittering ) ( Growling ) ( Rumbling ) ( Heroic theme plays ) ( Whispers ) Scorpions! No.

Much worse.

( Dramatic theme plays ) ( Grunting and yelping ) That new robot Impressive! ( Yelps ) Dad! ( Woodrow and Cody struggle ) ( Tense theme plays ) ( Triumphant theme plays ) Herd 'em this way! ( Grunting ) ( Heroic theme plays ) Oh, Cody What on Earth were you thinking? Didn't I tell you? It wasn't his fault, dad.

The forger just took off and No, Cody.

Your dad's right.

It's my fault for sneaking off on this goose chase.

I put you in danger, and I'm sorry for that.

Thank you, Woodrow.

Apology accepted.

The worst part is The entire trip was pointless.

No lost civilization, no signs of alien life.

You're right, Charlie.

I've wasted my whole life just chasing shadows.

As soon as we get to the surface, I'll head home.

And get out of your family's hair.

( Whispering ): Why is he talking about hair? ( Whispering ) A metaphor.

I'll explain later.

But Uncle Woodrow What are you going to do? I'm not sure.

But I have to face it.

Atlantis, Shangri La No such things.

And aliens have never visited because they don't exist.

What? He is family, dad.

You can't let him go on thinking he's failed.

I mean if it were Kade, I'd try to cheer him up.

Maybe.

Tell him, dad! Tell me what? Woodrow little brother.

I don't know about shangri-la, or Atlantis, but I can tell you as a point of fact aliens do exist.

( Sighs ) You don't have to do this, Charlie.

It doesn't make me feel any better.

Well maybe this will.

Team, introduce yourselves.

Heatwave.

Pleased to meet you.

My name is chase.

And I am proud to be your brother's policing partner.

Boulder.

Blades.

And now that I can speak freely, can I just say how terrifying those spiders were? Not gonna fall for it.

I am Optimus Prime.

And chief burns is correct.

To the people of Earth, we are aliens.

Our home planet of Cybertron is most likely unknown to you.

We'd tell you what galaxy it's in, but you haven't heard of that, either.

I was right.

I was right! ( Laughs ) I just I just My DES worked, Charlie It found aliens! I just never figured you'd be the one hiding them.

So You guys Cybernites! Cybertronians.

Right.

You've been leaving artifacts on Earth? For what, like centuries? That is a long story, for another day.

Oh, I knew it! Wow, thanks, Charlie.

For trusting me with your secret.

Like Graham said, we're all family.

And that's what family does.

They also do this Ha-ha-ha! Hey! Stop it, Charlie! This gesture appears to be universal in sibling relations.

Let's get to work team.

We have some Energon to harvest.

( Rumbling ) ( Tense theme plays ) ( All exclaim ) Chief: Everybody, watch it! ( Yells ) ( Grunting ) Chief: This way! ( Both yell ) Cody: Heatwave! Chief: Cody, come on! ( Both grunting )
