01x04 - Time Out

[bunniefuu]

[Detonation]

- Boom!

Nice!

There it is,
the liquid plasma metal.

You destroyed the door.

Let's see what
you can do to this.

Beautiful.

Daddy's right:
strongest metal in the world.

And now let's find out
what you're made of.

Upload liquid plasma
metal formula.

[Bones cracking]

- Stealing computer files?

There are rules against that,
you know.

- I'm not good with rules.

Who are you?

- Your conscience.

- Ha-ha!
[Bones cracking]

I don't have one.

- Well, now you do.

- Say hello
to my little friend.

Tick talk, tick talk,
tick talk, tick...

Time to go. Don't want
to leave you hanging, so...

♪

- Charlie?
- Yeah?

- We're waiting.
- Can you repeat the question?

- What is Newton's third law?

- A robot cannot
harm another human.

- That would be Asmer's law.
- I'm sorry.

You know, I didn't read
the chapter.

- Harrison?

- Hum, hum, hum...

"To every action, there is an
equal and opposite reaction."

[School bell]
- Study hard, midterm tomorrow.

- Hey, what a coincidence:

the number on your shirt and
your IQ, they're both the same.

- What is with him?
- You know, he is a nerd,

do the math.
If you can.

- Charlie?

You've missed your last three
homework assignments in a row.

You got a D on last week's quiz.
- I know.

Okay, it's just recently my life
has been kind of complicated.

- Yes, well, I'm sorry, but if
you don't get at least a B

on tomorrow's midterm, you'll
be on academic probation.

And you'll be off
the basketball team.

- We got a game against women
on Friday. The team needs me!

- So hit the books.
- All right.

[Typing on the keyboard]

- I'm back.
- I don't want to be disturbed.

Didn't they tell you...?

You've got it.

You see, Dax? Fifty times
stronger than Titanium.

Exactly what I need to shield
the quantum energy converter.

- Are you pleased?

- Yes, son. Well done.

[Video game noises]

- Out J, I got to study.
- Our deal was one hour

of game time a day alright?
I'm almost done.

I just got to infiltrate
this space. See this?

- It's easy, it's easy.
- Hey, no!

Dude! Dude!
For three days

I've been trying to infiltrate
their cyborg base.

I was trying to steal the
obligatory weapons pack and now

I've got to start from
the Save spot. This bites!

- I'll make it
up to you.

- I know how you can do that.
- How?

- This Saturday I'm mowing the
lawn, pulling the weeds. You
cover for me we'll call it even.

- Get out now, alright, or I'm
going to call an ambulance.

- So we have a deal right?
Charlie?

- Alright, where's that old
replay file?

- Yeah! Alright!
[Laughter]

- Nice moves, Lotus. A little
sloppy there, Vesuvius.

- I'm sorry, I'm distracted,
my brother gave me a wedgy.

- Heads up!

- I am Cronus. Brute force,
how boring!

Physical violence is so
unnecessary if you use science!

- Will somebody please silence
this windbag?

- Allow me.

- Aaron, we need to talk.
- Mr. Hall, I figured out how

that thief got away last night.
The Hypercron. Look, I thought

it just was made up for the
game, but it really exists.

- Oh, it exists alright. The
thief you met last night is
Cronus's son, Dax.

- His son? Well the freak
doesn't fall far from
the freak tree.

- The Hypercron is Cronus's
first step in his plan to build
a time machine.

If he could travel through time,
he could get rid of people
like me. And you.

- But if Dax can freeze time,
how am I supposed to fight him?

- You'll have to figure that out
when you see him.

- Where is he this time?

Russia? What's Dax
doing in Russia?

- For the past few months, Dax
has been stealing equipment

for his father. Our reports
tell us that tonight

he plans to steal an
experimental cold fusion reactor

from the Grushka Research Centre
near Moscow.

- Jackpot! One very-hard-to-find
cold fusion reactor.

Daddy will be pleased.

- I'm guessing "disappointed"
might be a better word.

- I see you didn't learn your
lesson from the first time

we met,
but then again

you probably don't remember
most of it.

- I remember the important
things: I'm the good guy,
and you're not.

- Well that depends
on how you look at it.

You see,
I get the reactor,

daddy takes over the world,
he's so happy,

he gives me New York.

Then I'm the good guy,
and you're...

- A good shot!

[Fighting sounds]

- What's Russian for "ouch!"?

[Alarm]

Ah!

The Russians are coming.
You better go.

[Alarm]

And tell your dad that Aaron
Stone says hello.

Dude, thanks man. I got
to study, I got to study.

What are you doing up so late?
- Dude, it's morning.

- Oh no man! My science midterm!
- What's this, huh?

Somebody's morning grumpy again.
Remember you're doing the yard
work on Saturday, got it?

- Jason, I'm not pulling weeds
for you. OK?

[Laughter]

- Oh boy...

- Pencils down, please.

[Students murmuring]

- Charlie, your test?

Charlie your...

- What do I got now, Monroe?

Thank you.

- ...test.
- There you go.

- Thank you.

[School bell]

- See you tomorrow.

Man, that was a k*ller!
How did you do?

- Almost ran out of time.
- Yeah, I hear you.

[Laughter]

- What's up bro?

- You know, eating a pie is
probably not the best choice

for a man with
your weight issues.

- Weight issues? See, I don't
have weight issues.

- Denial. That always starts.

Kind of porking
up there, bro.

You know what
I'm thinking?

A little Saturday
weed pulling exercise,

you know what I mean?
- Oh, you know what?

Saturday, it's not good for me.
You know my schedule was filled

with things that
I'm NOT doing for you.

[Car door shutting]
- Oh good, mom's home.

You know, you'd be grounded
for a month if she just happened

to find out that you were out
all night last night.

- Jason! Don't go there.

- Oh, I don't want to.
Well, maybe I do.

Oh Mom!
Charlie has something to--

- Jason, Jason, Jason.

See, what you don't understand
is you're not just dealing

with Charlie Landers, no.

You're dealing
with Aaron Stone.

- Oh my! I didn't see,
I promise.

It was an accident, I swear.
I didn't see you.

I didn't mean
to do this.

You look fine in pie.
It was an accident, right?

- Aaah....

You're awesome.

What's up man? Remind me
to teach you the human custom
of knocking.

- Excellent. I'm afraid I have
some bad news.

Mr. Hall has just learned that
Dax escaped from the Russian
police and that he's going

after the reactor again.
- Well that's okay,

because he's lost his advantage:
I got the Hypercron.

- Yes, unfortunately, it seems
that Cronus built two Hypercrons

and that Dax has
the other one now.

- So I'm right back
where I started.

- Not quite. Hall industries
just completed this upgrade chip

for your gauntlet. It allows you
to move in frozen time

the same way Dax does.
And it activates automatically.

We need to go now.
- Wait. Now?

You know this is great.
This is another night
without doing my homework.

- My sensors detect that your
metabolic rate is depressed.

- Yes. I'm most stressed out.

It's just, I got a lot of things
I got to figure out.

- Homework, stress...
Being human is complicated.

It's one of the reasons
I prefer to be an android.

Well, that and no body odor.

Not that I'm
pointing fingers.

I just received a message
from Mr. Hall.

Apparently, the reactor
is being moved

from the Grushka Research Centre
to another location.
- Where is it now?

- It's being delivered
to a nearby airport.

- [Aaron]: There's the reactor.

[Engines starting]

I need to find out where Dax is
before he uses the Hypercron.

- Too late. Now I'm sensing
an energy pulse that--

- Hey Dax! You got the time?

Gotcha!

- Surprise!

Weapons don't work
in frozen time.

[Fighting sounds]

How weird is that?

[Fighting sounds]

Goodbye, Aaron Stone.

[Engines roaring]

- Newton's third law:

for every action there is an
equal and opposite reaction.

- Aaaah!

- Did I hit you? You hit
the floor. Nice work.

[Engines roaring]

Looks like it's time's up.

Let's get out of here.

- Good work, Charlie. You got
the best grade in class.

Looks like the basketball team
gets to keep their guard.

- Morning, Sir.

[Sighing]

There's something
I need to tell you.

n
and I'm off the basketball team.

- And you have Lander's yard
clean up, this weekend.

I am very disappointed
in you Charlie.

As if I don't have enough
to worry about with Jason.

Now he thinks the house
is haunted

and a ghost was responsible
for the pie.

- A ghost?

- A ghost.

- Kids. Ha-ha-ha!

Jason, you're supposed
to be pulling weeds.

- It's time you realized,
Charles,

that there are two kinds
of people in this world.

Those who work
and those who supervise.

I function best
in a supervisory role.

- Oh!

Oh!

Mom! The ghost is back!

- You better
keep this.

- Mm-mm...
