Mighty Med (2013) s01e14 Episode Script

Atomic Blast from the Past

Check out all this cool stuff from lost and found.
Some of this stuff has been in here for decades, including that sandwich.
It's like digging through the history of Mighty Med.
Boring.
I don't care about the past.
Which explains why you failed our history test.
I failed because I followed a kid who looked like you into the wrong classroom.
But I did learn the word for umbrella in French.
- What is it? - I don't know.
It was yesterday.
I told you, I don't care about the past.
Oh, look.
Optimo's dagger of truth.
The shawl of invisibility.
This thing.
My goodness! A wormhole transporter.
I haven't seen one of these in years.
A wormhole transporter? In the 1950's, superheroes used these to reverse time by opening wormholes in space but they were banned because, every so often, a hero would get lost in time, or explode into a million tiny pieces.
I usually love confetti, but that not so festive.
Told you old things are lame.
How could you think that thing is lame? I was talking about Horace.
Yeah, that device looks lame, too.
Bet it can't even take pictures.
Jeepers, where am I? Who is that, and where did he come from? That's Captain Atomic.
I'd say he came from 1953.
That was, like, 100 years ago.
Which explains why you also failed our math test.
Every day's an adventure you never know by the looks on our face at the school when we enter leave class early, work at 3:30 hit the comic store, read up before the journey all these new issues and superpowers if we didn't have to work, we'd be here for hours everybody say that we shouldn't worry but have you ever seen superheroes on a gurney? will we save the world today? you never know will we all be safe today? you never know will we fly away or stay? you never know but you know we're mighty med, team up and let's go! saving people that save people after classes we flip the page then jump to action they call us normo, normally fantastic seeing superheroes that we only imagined this type of life, you got to have fight put up your fists and fight for what's right never can tell, what we see is out of sight do the same thing tomorrow that we did tonight will we save the world today? you never know, will we all be safe today? you never know, will we fly away or stay? you never know, but you know we Mighty Med team up and let's go! Who's Captain Atomic? You've never heard of Captain Atomic? My grandpa has all of his comic books.
He also has huge earlobes.
What? We're talking about my grandpa.
Captain Atomic was wounded in World War II by a radioactive bullet which should have penetrated his heart, but it was stopped by the lucky yo-yo given to him by his best gal.
The bullet turned him radioactive, and the army fitted him with an experimental battery that keeps him alive he and his yo-yo are atomically powered.
So are my farts.
No, they are.
Ask my brothers.
Where am I? Five minutes ago, I entered a wormhole to stop Professor Slime from sliming the planet Malmarn.
Unfortunately, you became trapped in that wormhole for decades.
Oh, and by the way, Malmarn is now called Slimemarn.
So this is the future? Wait.
Horace Diaz, is that you? You knew him in the '50s? Horace, how old are you? A gentleman never asks.
A lady never tells.
And I'm 3,006 in May.
The place looks so different.
And who are all these broads dressed as doctors? Those are doctors.
( Hearty laughter ) Girl doctors? That's the craziest thing I ever heard.
Right, lizard doctor? ( Grunts ) Boys, we need to open another wormhole to get Captain Atomic back to his own time.
Huh.
This wormhole transporter needs to be repaired.
I'll go work on it.
Don't tell him how much gasoline costs now.
It'll kill him.
Ooh, we get to hang out with Captain Atomic.
You mean, lame-o mccheesy tights? Are you kidding me, Kaz? Captain Atomic was the tecton of his time.
Look at his comic book.
"Ka-ploof"? What even makes that sound? It's solar flare.
What happened? The Black Falcon again.
This is the fourth superhero he's injured this week.
Well, that no-goodnik is cruisin' for a bruisin'.
But have no fear.
For when evil rears its ugly head, justice will always prevail.
Now, it's time for me to make like an atom And split.
Dude, seriously? Look Villains are a lot more powerful now than in the '50s.
Don't listen to him, Captain Atomic.
You can still mop the floor with any villain out there.
Justice has no expiration date.
Have no fear, young lad.
No one can defeat me, not with my trusty weapon my Atomic yo-yo of victory.
To the skies.
There used to be a skylight there.
So, how are the two loveliest ladies in school who don't pretend they're mannequins when I try to talk to them? Stand still.
Its vision is based on movement.
I'm about to make your day.
I've decided to shoot a movie, and I want you both to be in it.
Cool! What's it about? I was hoping you might have some ideas.
I'm not very creative, which is why I'm going into the movie business.
Ooh, we should do a movie about my face.
I would, like, totally go see that.
Wait! I have a not-insane idea.
We should make a movie that features a strong female lead character.
Someone like, I don't know, - Skylar Storm.
- What? No one likes Skylar Storm anymore, since her last comic book where she lost all of her powers, to the annihilator.
He isn't even that tough.
Oh, yeah? I'd like to see you battle him, punk.
Now there's never been a Skylar Storm movie, and this will prove that she's still cool and still important.
- My little brother likes her comics.
- See? My little brother also likes to dress up our cat as "kitty Perry.
" Fine.
We'll make a Skylar Storm movie.
And tell your brother he's doing the costumes.
Captain Atomic's been gone for, like, two hours.
I hate to say I told you so, but maybe we should send someone to go help him.
Uh, Captain Atomic does not need any help.
In fact, I bet, any minute now, he'll stroll in here, having defeated the black Falcon, and heroically say to the trauma ward! What?! This is horrible.
Why did I encourage Captain Atomic to go out and fight? He was obviously outmatched.
Man, don't take it so hard.
Maybe he was confused by seeing everything in color for the first time.
Kaz, the past was not in black and white.
You don't know that.
( Toneless whistling ) Thank you, Phillip.
I think you nailed the part of innocent bystander hit with grapes for no apparent reason.
Next! Before I audition for the role of Skylar Storm, I wanted you to know that I found this costume, and coincidentally, it fits me perfectly.
This looks pretty fake.
But go ahead, Connie.
Wow me.
There's a storm coming.
Skylar Storm.
Okay, people, I've seen all I need to see.
The role of Skylar Storm goes to Stephanie! What?! How can you not pick me? I was born to play this role Literally, in a pot of nutrient solution.
I mean, the maternity ward of a regular hospital.
Sorry, Connie.
You're just not the right type.
And Stephanie is? You bet.
She just has that certain je ne sais quoi.
What does that even mean? I don't know.
But she has it! Stephanie, show Connie a bit of that acting je ne sais quoi.
Uh, there's, like, a storm coming.
Like, Skylar Storm.
See? I don't know what that was.
But don't worry, Connie.
You still have a part in the movie.
I'm casting you as innocent bystander hit with grapes for no apparent reason.
If you think that's going to get you the part of angry man who kicks over a chair, you're sadly mistaken.
Kaz, I think I know what's wrong.
Help me turn him over.
- See? - Parapluie.
- What? - That's the French word for umbrella.
Boys, what's the problem? Captain Atomic's Atomic battery is corroded.
I should have examined him before I encouraged him to fight.
We've gotta replace his battery or he'll die.
Do you have any replacements? We have plenty of those.
- Oh, where? - In 1953.
That was the last year we manufactured Atomic batteries.
It turned out the main component, uradium 7, had some unpleasant side effects.
What kind of side effects? Let's just say Dr.
Glowhead wasn't born that way.
Hey, I was just talkin' about you.
This is all my fault.
Horace, can you use the wormhole transporter to send us back to so we can get an Atomic battery? No.
Are you kidding me? I don't wanna get stuck in a wormhole.
Sorry, I can't send you; It's not repaired yet.
Good.
- Now it's repaired.
- Dang it.
- But I still can't send you, it's too dangerous.
- Good.
But it's the only way to save Captain Atomic's life.
Dang it.
I don't care how dangerous it is.
- I'm going.
- Good.
- And you're coming with me.
- Dang it.
Kaz, we did it.
We're in the 1950's.
There's the original solar flare before she passed on the torch.
And there's the Scarlet Cyclone.
Okay, all right.
We need to find the Atomic batteries.
I'll map out a plan.
This pill bottle will be you.
This tongue depressor will be me.
This Atomic battery will be the door.
What are you doing? Now we don't know where the door is.
This is the battery.
Let's go.
We've gotta get back.
If Captain Atomic dies, I'll never forgive myself.
Stand down, intruders.
No, wait, I can actually explain.
I gotta admit, I kinda want a yo-yo now.
I saw you steal that Atomic battery.
But your plan is foiled, you foreign spies.
No, no, we're as American as can be.
I'll say the pledge of allegiance right now.
Let's hear it.
Okay, I don't actually know it, but if my friend said it, I could mouth along.
- I swear to you.
- I swear to you.
- We're not traitors.
- We're not traitors.
I'm not saying the pledge of allegiance.
Look, we're here to help you.
We came from the future to save your life.
Lies! You can explain yourself to the hospital's tough-talking, no-nonsense chief of staff.
Horace? Is that you? Do you never age? Flattery will get you nowhere.
But it will get you a free play on the jukebox.
Don't pick b-17.
It reminds me of her.
I caught these two stealing an Atomic battery.
I assume the brown-haired beatnik with bangs in his eyes is the mastermind.
There's no way this young man - with his perfect hair - Thanks.
- And simple brain - Hey! Could have plotted to break in here.
Excuse me a second.
It's the villain, red scare.
Well done.
Now, read him his rights, give him a fair trial I'm just joking.
Pull his arms off.
Now explain yourselves, intruders.
Or you'll meet the same fate.
Horace, look, we work for you in the future.
We're the only normos on staff.
I would never hire normos.
There's nothing I hate more than intruders.
I hate to hate things, but I love to love things.
That's right, you love bridges.
Bridges? Sturdy, functional, stylish.
Not a bad idea.
I love bridges.
I like the sound of that.
But you two will still need to be de-armed.
No, no, I love my arms.
If I didn't have them, how could I do this? Guards.
Now, let's rehearse.
This is scene 2-a.
Skylar is attacked by a band of alien assassins.
And action! Oh, no.
It's, like, four against one.
What am I gonna, like, do? Stop it! You're destroying Skylar Storm's legacy.
She would never fight in high heels.
She's not fighting.
She's waiting to be rescued by my character, the Gus Lantern.
Can I see this for a second? Sure.
If you're auditioning for the part of girl who throws tripod, you got it.
We're shooting that scene next.
And if I didn't have my arms, I couldn't do this.
Or this.
Or this.
Boys, you're back.
Did you get the battery? Now let's put it in Captain Atomic before it's too late.
I had this terrible dream where women were doctors, and men didn't wear hats.
Oh, it was real.
What's going on? Black Falcon has taken out all of the other superheroes in the city.
Captain Atomic's the only one left.
You gotta go do something.
Like what? You were right about me.
I can't fight these modern villains.
No, I was wrong.
I just saw you in the past, and you kicked butt.
And you're awesome with that yo-yo.
I can't even get one to come back up.
Captain Atomic, you can do it.
Black Falcon only defeated you because your battery was corroded.
But now you're at full strength.
Once a hero, always a hero, no matter how lame-o your mccheesy tights are.
Maybe I do still have what it takes.
So to the skies.
But first, where's the little heroes' room? Technically, I haven't gone in, like, 60 years.
Thanks.
To the restroom.
And cut.
I'm especially good at directing snack time.
Stephanie, I have a few tips on portraying Skylar Storm as the amazing hero she is.
For one thing, she doesn't use the word "like" so much.
I don't, like, say like, like, a lot.
Do you even, like, hear yourself? Great, now I'm, like, doing it.
Next on my hit list, Skylar Storm.
Eww! Someone could, like, use a manicure.
First you lose your powers, and now, you lose your life.
Hey, Black Falcon, why don't you pick on the real Skylar Storm, not some cheap knockoff.
Hey, birdbrain.
I don't mean to ruffle your feathers, but it's time to cock-a-doodle-do You in.
Dude, seriously? Oh, so that's what ka-ploof sounds like.
This isn't over, Captain Atomic, so watch your back.
See, you are still amazing.
Wait, aren't you gonna go after him? ( Screaming ) No.
I think we've heard the last from him for a while.
Nice moves, kid.
I don't know who you are, but thanks for saving me.
Well, I can spot a damsel in distress a mile away.
Seriously, I can see over a mile away.
Well, great job, but should probably get you back to your own time.
Actually, I think I'll stay here.
Things have changed so much for the better.
Yeah, like equal rights, and opportunities for all, regardless of race or gender.
Yeah, that.
But I was talking about flat screen TV's, and seedless watermelon.
The future is amazing.
What happened? Did I faint from too much hairspray again? I don't know who the extras in the costumes were, but they totally ruined my movie.
Look what you did to my masterpiece.
The lens was turned the wrong way? So you didn't record any of this horrible movie? Just your face? Don't worry.
I'll just convert it to 3D.
