01x10 - Time After Time

[bunniefuu]

[Footsteps]

I know this is a lot

To take in on your
first day here,

But the tour
ends here.

Meet the most
insidious criminal

In all of
acmetropolis--

Mallory mastermind.

Of course!

The one who--
yes.

And she would have
succeeded if not

For a quick-thinking
grad student.

Mastermind: quick-thinking,
my oversized head!

That dog just got lucky.

By the way, warden,
is it necessary

To remove every staple?

You know it is,
mastermind.

Any metal she touches
she can turn into

A dangerous,
high-tech weapon.

Aww, you're gonna
scare him away.

So make a note--
nothing metal allowed.

Huh. Where's my--

Got that?

Uh, yeah, yeah.
Uh, no metal.

Got it.

[Beeping]

Ok, love,

Be a dear and crack
mommy's cage.

Uhh!

Ok. You know
what to do.

[Beeping]

[Rumbling]

[Rattling]

[Alarm blaring]

[Beeping]

Nice work, pen pal.

Who wants a new ink cartridge?
You do, don't you?

Oh, yes, you do.

Mastermind, stop!

Mastermind:
love to stay and chat,

But I really must be...
Heading out.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

[Laughter continues]

Narrator: in the year 2772,

A meteor strikes the city
planet of acmetropolis,

Knocking it off its axis.

This cosmic event releases
supernatural forces,

Unleashing
a new kind of hero...

The loonatics.

Hah! Yeah!

Huhh! Ha ha!

In your face! Ha ha!

That's a new high score.

How many times
do I have to tell you?

What I have created here

Is a state-of-the-art
virtual trainer,

Not a video game.

Call it what you want.
I'm the master.

Mmm, ha!

I rule this game!

[Blows]

Yes, you're quite
the expert.

Try this level.

Hey! Who turned out
the lights?

Uh-oh. Hey!

Yow!

Hey, I was kicking
virtual tail over here.

Voice on p.a.:
Zodavia's on the line.

We need you guys up here.

Loonatics,
there's been an escape

From the subterranean
maximum security prison.

The file is being uploaded
to you as we speak.

She's got a big head.

You said it.

Mallory. Oh, no.

I want you all
to get down there.

Tech can fill you in
on the way.

Zodavia out.

Let's jet!

So, tech,
want to tell us

How you know
miss melon-head?

Right before zodavia
put us all together,

I was still a grad student
at acme tech.

Tech: mallory
was a young prodigy

I was tutoring.

She was working
on a device

That could
amplify brainwaves.

But I discovered
she had modified the device

To transfer knowledge
from other people's brains

Into her own.

The university staff

Were going to be
her guinea pigs.

Mastermind: with just
a flip of this switch,

I will show you
what it means

To be brilliant.

Whoa!
Oh!

Wow! Gracious!

Tech: so I stopped her
and her evil head

Before it was too late.

I had to do something before
their minds were destroyed.

Unfortunately, she was hit

By a surge of fiery
electrical neuron feedback.

[Groaning]

Aah!

Take her away,
officers.

Mallory casey,
you're under arrest.

You...

You ruined
my life's work!

How dare you!

Oh, I will
get you, tech!

Someday I will get you,

You mangy dog!

And that's the last
I heard of her...

Until now.

Come on, guys.

We picked up
some suspicious

Electrical activity
in this area.

Mallory would have
a field day

With equipment
like this.

Methinks this place
is empty.

Chill, duck.

Me thinks
I hear someone

Thinking louder
than any of us.

[Beeping]
we're not alone.

It's got to be her.

Mastermind:
give that dog a bone.

Nice to see you again, tech.

I wish I could say
the same.

Some genius. You get
an "a" for the escape,

But a "d" for
the getaway, sister.

[All gasp]

Uh!

Uh! Hiyah! Uh!

Hey, watch it with that!
You missed me. Oops,
missed again!

[Growls]

[Snarling]

[Grumbling]

Unh! Uh!

[Panting]

Hiyah!

Unh!

Aah! Uh!

Uh! Unh!

[Grunting]

Wh-wh-where the big-head?

She's skulking around
somewhere.

But I've got
something at h.q.

That will
give her a headache,

Wherever she is.

Hey, who left
all the lights on?

Well, don't look at me.

I'm in complete control of
your headquarters now, tech.

It's my turn to play with
some of your inventions,

And, boy,
is this gonna be fun!

Ha ha ha ha!

[All gasp]

Aah!

Ahh!
[Gasp]

Ohh!

I can't hold it!

[Slam babbling]

Everyone hang on!
We're going down!

We're doomed!
Doomed!

Ok, now is not
the time to panic.

What?! Now is exactly
the time to panic!

Yeah.

[Tires screeching]

Mastermind: ah, my pet.

Company has arrived.

Won't tech just love
the modifications I've made

To his little toys?

[Laughing]

[Powering on]

Ooh! Love it!

[Beeping]

Ah, that hideous head case
locked us out of h.q.

[Beeping]

Now the fun really begins.

[Beeping]

[g*ns c*ck]

Ok, enough head games.

Time to go old school.

All right, tech.

Now you'll see
payback is a dog.

Wait!

She's booby-trapped
everything!

Ah!
Ohh!

[Grumbles]

Uh-oh. Ah!

My brilliant inventions...

What has that ghastly woman
done to my babies?

[Growls]

No! No! No!

I'm not doing it!

I can't control it!

[Growls]

Nice try!

[Stammering]

[Grumbling]

[Laughing]

I'm not sure whose side
the duck is on.

[Laughing]

[Growls]

Ouch! Ow! Ow!

I should've seen
this coming.

I feel like
such a pea-brain.

You're no pea-brain, tech.

But it is time to take

Your balloon-brained
girlfriend down.

I heard that.

In here.

We can get out of sight
from the cameras.

There's an elevator shaft
behind this heat generator.

Nice going, tech.

Is it getting hot in there
or am I just crazy?

[Laughing]

[Alarm blaring]

Hey, g*ng,

Miss big-brain set us up
for a big bang.

Unh!

Ouch!

Ok, tech, time to put
your wits to work.

I'm hacking into
the security portal,

But it's gonna take
some time.

Well, could you pretend
to hurry?

One more minute

And you're looking at
crispy fried duck.

I've almost got it.

Mastermind: almost
doesn't count, dogface.

Cover your ears, penny.

Anybody for
barbecued hero?

It seems that hot dog
is well-done!

[Laughing]
[beeping]

Could you cut it
any closer, tech?

Actually...no.

Yeah, we'd better
get moving

Before she figures out
we're here.

Through the vents.
She can't monitor us in there.

We've got to somehow
get to my e.m.p.

You don't have to
spell it.

I know what
an emp is.

What's an emp?

The e.m.p.

Is an electromagnetic
pulse generator.

Now, if we can get to it
and activate it,

It would
temporarily knock out

All electric current
in the vicinity.

Without power,
she's, well, powerless.

Lexi, take slam
and rev with you

And follow this
all the way up

So you can activate
the e.m.p.

Duck, you come
with tech and me

And we'll enter from
the virtual trainer.

She won't know
what hit her.

So, where do we find
this e.m.p.

And how do we activate it?

It's hidden
right in plain sight

And comes with
simple instructions.

[Beeping]

What?!

I thought it was cats
that had 9 lives.

The coast is clear.

She hasn't tampered
with these.

[Beeping]

Oh, no!

And by "hasn't
tampered with," you mean...

All right. Time for
a new high score.

[Grunting]

Ha! Ha!

Nya!

Ha! Hiyah!

Hiyah!

Hiyah!

Try looking under
the pool table.

Chalk one up for tech.

The e.m.p. Device
is hidden here.

[Growling]

[Screaming]

Easy. This is
a no-slicing zone!

[Grumbling]

We zap one
and 2 more appear.

Oh, yeah.
Cool, isn't it?

It means we're
getting close

To the bonus level.

Hiyah!

Ok, this has gone
far enough.

It's time to go
head-to-head.

We'll cover you.
Unh! Uh!

Unh!
[Beeps]

Come back, mallory!

[Growls]

I'm all for cleaning house,
but this is ridiculous!

Rev, lead that big sucker
this way!

Oh, if you had told me
when I woke up this morning

That I was gonna bait for
a runaway vacuum cleaner,

I would've said
you were just plain nuts!

Huh!

Whoa!

Uhh! Hmm.

Aw.

Tech said they'd come with
simple instructions.

Simple, my lucky foot.

I got this.

Step one--arm primary
ignition sequence

Using standard alphanumeric
code calculations.

Step 2--insert
electron overdrive rods--

You're proving yourself
to be more wily

Than I ever expected.

And you're
just as twisted

As I ever thought
you were.

Not twisted.
Enlightened.

But then, you were
always jealous

Of my brainpower.

It's not your intellect
I have problems with.

It's your swollen head.

You taught me
everything I know.

Remember?!

But not everything
I know.
