Zoom (2006) Movie Script

A
J&H Entertainment
Release
The Zenith Team.
Five young superheroes
who fought to protect the world from evil.
Led by Captain Zoom
and his brother Concussion,
the team saved many lives.
Team Zenith.
Oh, and with the help of their sidekick,
Dr. Grant.
The government sought to enhance
the team's powers
using Gamma-13 radiation.
Zoom got faster and stronger,
but the Gamma turned Concussion
to the dark side.
He turned on his own team.
Zoom lost his powers
and his brother.
We're coming up now.
Prepare to deactivate cloaking device.
I told you not to call me
unless the world was going to end.
I don't know about the world ending,
but we've been tracking
a pan-dimensional anomaly
that seems to be moving toward
our time-space continuum.
Dr. Grant, I speak Greek, not geek.
Let me put it this way.
Concussion is still alive,
and he's coming back.
He was destroyed.
-Nope.
-We were there. We both saw it.
Nope.
Twelve days and counting.
The time has come.
I'm reactivating the Zenith Program.
Find me some kids.
Misfits, outcasts, weirdos.
Give me that file.
Zoom's the only one who can train them.
Now, get to Long Beach,
find him, evaluate his condition,
and bring him back here.
You know he won't cooperate.
You won the Nobel Prize, Doctor.
You'II think of something.
Okay, he's looking. Come now.
There's a car coming, Iady.
Hey, Iook out.
Yeah, you're sure you're okay, huh?
-That guy almost killed me.
-Watch out for the
grease.
Should have told you
about those grease spots.
Come on, get up.
Grant?
-Hello, Zoom.
-It's Jack.
Okay, Jack.
It's good to see you.
Wow. You got old.
It's been, what, 30 years?
-What are you doing here, Grant?
-We're starting up a new team.
Men's slow-pitch softball?
No, a new Zenith team.
-You can't be serious.
-We are serious, Mr. Shepard.
-Why is the green dress talking?
-I'm a psychologist.
I'm sorry. This is Miss Holloway.
She works with me.
Yes, and despite the theatrics,
which were not my idea, by the way,
you're the only one who can help us.
You're the only superhero Ieft.
Somebody's been giving you
the wrong information.
So, if you'II excuse me, I got work to do.
We're here to take you back,
not to invite you back.
And we're authorized to use
whatever means necessary.
-Grant, Grant, Grant.
-You can't shoot him.
-Nice.
-Sorry.
Trick or treat.
Here you go, sweetie.
Trick or treat.
-Thank you.
-Thanks a Iot.
-Give it here, Howdy Doo-Doo.
-Bully.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you.
I'II take that.
She's so weird.
Freak.
That was a good one.
Oh, my gosh.
What just happened?
How does my hair Iook?
Dylan.
Perhaps you'd Iike to come up
and finish Newton's equation?
I think Newton can finish his own equation.
Now, Dylan.
Yes.
Check it out.
Lard-butt's going to snap the board in half.
Wake up, Zoom.
Zoom? Welcome back to Area 52.
Thank you, Grant, for bringing me
back to a place
I've been avoiding for the Iast 30 years.
You have two choices as I understand it.
One is to stay here
and the other is to go directly to prison.
How Iong in prison?
We are also very happy to pay you $500,000.
You know you could've just said that
instead of shooting me with a dart.
Yes.
Mr. Shepard.
Mr. Shepard, I can't tell you how happy I am
that you've come aboard.
It's you.
Do you have an inner-ear problem
or something?
-Zoom...
-Jack.
Right, Jack.
Miss Holloway is our Ieading researcher
in the area of Iatent superhuman abilities.
She'II be in charge of
training the new Zenith team.
She's also quite a fan of yours.
I have every issue of
Captain Zoom And His AmaZing Team,
most of them
still in their original plastic sleeves.
That's creepy.
But do you still have that green dress?
I even have the
fifth anniversary double issue,
Zoom Vs. The Atomic Melt.
I have it in Japanese, German,
Farsi, Hindi and Braille.
How about that green dress? Still have that?
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your attention, please?
The return of Zoom.
Show of hands, who here does not Iive
with their mom in her basement?
We have assembled a group
of 10 special candidates.
The extent of their abilities is still unknown,
Iike it was when your team arrived.
We wanted your help
in choosing the ones with the best potential
for a new Zenith team.
Well, for half a million dollars
in cash and prizes
Iet's take a Iook at those contestants,
shall we?
What, are we forming a spelling bee?
I assure you, they are all quite gifted.
Gifted what? They're a bunch of kids.
And what power do they have? I haven't
read or heard about a Gamma event.
Well, there weren't any.
My studies in meta-human
psychophysiology
have made Gamma treatments obsolete.
I am quite confident
that we can develop their abilities
far beyond what was achieved
during the Gamma-13 days.
And we can do it safely
and naturally.
I'm sorry, I must've dozed off there
for a minute.
Times have changed, Zoom.
Well, they'd better be able to do
some mind-blowing stuff.
What is this? She's blinking fast.
-She was better in the audition.
-I am a Iittle cooler.
Oh, dude.
Now you see him, now you don't.
How you doing?
Pass the hand sanitizer, please.
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P...
Stop that.
You're singing the alphabet.
That's not a power.
And your voice is average, it's not super.
It is, too, super.
Get another table in here, please.
Right away.
I see things.
Do you see dead people?
I see that you suffer
from a massive inferiority complex.
I try to hide that so well.
I'm Jupiter the Gas Giant.
-Say, "Excuse me."
-Yikes.
Is he doing it,
or is he just naturally that chubby?
It's so cool.
Miss Holloway,
how would you Iike to introduce
our trainees to their new instructor?
I would Iove to. You ready?
-Yeah. I can't wait.
-Okay.
That is getting so old.
Well, considering you can read my mind,
I don't have many options.
I can't read your mind. I just feel stuff.
And you could stop hitting on me entirely.
No, I can't do that.
You and I are destiny.
Children, I would Iike to formally
introduce you to a very great man,
Mr. Jack Shepard.
Sorry. I don't remember eating that.
Great man or washed-up Ioser?
It's a fine Iine. What a nice kid.
Is the Iong hair and the James Dean angst
just a package with you?
Mr. Shepard is uniquely qualified
to be your new instructor.
And now he'II tell you why.
What?
Oh, yeah, kids,
do you have any idea
what you're doing here or why?
Me.
Come on. Come on. Me, me, me.
Me.
-AII right, the Iittle one.
-We were brought here in super secret
because we were selected
out of a huge group of kids
because we're really special
and they needed special kids
for a special course.
That's what Miss Holloway said.
I don't think I've ever heard anybody
use that many "specials" in a sentence.
She actually worked it in there
one more time than Collins did.
But it's all a Iie.
We're here because we're different.
-We're not different.
-Come on. Chill out.
You can pick up a car, and you're six.
How different does it get?
-Don't tell her that.
-Don't be a jerk, man.
-What? Tucker, I'm not being a jerk.
-Children.
-Sorry.
-Okay, maybe this'II help.
I spent a Iot of time here at Camp Secret
when I was just about your age.
And you know what?
It pretty much
-ruined my Iife.
-Mr. Shepard.
Hey, the military would Iike you to be
just Iike me.
You have to work hard and focus.
But most of all, most important,
you're going to need
massive doses of Gamma-13 emissions.
So Iet's wheel in that big machine
and zap the Iittle guys, huh?
-That's not true. Mr. Shepard. Hallway.
-Right. Let's go to the hallway.
You guys want to slip into that Iead
underwear, you wanna protect your privates.
AIways the smart aleck.
But he is definitely the target, sir.
The center of the dimensional probing
is following Zoom here, from Long Beach.
We've finally found something
that Shepard excels at.
Being the bait.
If you can't get those kids
combat-ready in time,
I'II have to dose them with enough
Gamma-13 to sterilize a trailer park.
And if that should happen,
you can rest assured, sir,
that I will do everything in my power
to make sure it's not my fault.
I told you.
We will not be dosing the children.
Based on what we have in there, I think
you might want to dose them just a Iittle.
Come on. Drop them by a nuclear facility
and Ieave them there.
Or drop them off at the dentist and
have them x-rayed 200 or 300 times.
I don't think you understand
their sensitive condition.
What about my sensitive condition?
I'm being asked
to betray children for money.
-Are you done?
-I Ieft a Iittle pause there
in case you wanted to slip and fall again.
Grant, what am I doing here?
-Come on.
-Let me show you something.
Wow.
I made that suit for you.
Too bad you never got a chance to wear it.
-Welcome back, Zoom.
-It's Jack.
It's Zoom.
Wow.
Where'd you put... Is this...
Cool. Zoom comics.
Tucker, wait. Do not touch this.
This is a first edition.
Don't even touch the sleeve.
Now, everyone, please put on your
pH-balancing, antibacterial gloves.
Or not.
Why are you giving us these?
Well, I'm not giving them to you,
but I'm showing them to you
because yesterday you asked me
why Mr. Shepard was a great man.
Well,
this is why he's a great man.
Because he collects comic books?
No. Because he is the comic book.
Mr. Shepard is Captain Zoom.
And these comics are a record
of the incredible things that Zoom and
his amazing team did to protect mankind.
He was the Ieader of the Zenith team
faster than Quicksilver, the FIash
and Superman all together.
No way.
Way.
Zoom.
You're Captain Zoom.
-Can you eat fast, too?
-Zoom. Do something fast.
Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag, huh?
You don't Iook Iike a superhero.
I don't? Are you sure?
You know why?
Because I'm not a superhero.
There's no such thing as superheroes.
No matter what people told you around here,
you're not superheroes.
We're superheroes?
Awesome.
Yes.
You're definitely white kids, I'II tell you that.
-Yeah. What?
-Do we get names? And costumes?
-I'm sorry, what's your name again?
-Cindy Collins, age six.
Cindy Collins, age six. This isn't a parade.
Or a Girl Scout jamboree or some sleepover.
It's a military installation.
You get military stuff. Functional ware.
You see this? I used to be able
to move my entire body that fast.
So they put me
in a polycarbonate silicone suit.
That way I didn't vibrate out of my clothes.
You've got to stop doing that.
Can my superhero costume be a tutu?
Are you even trying to Iisten to me?
So what are they going to make us do?
I don't know, dude.
Let me think about that for just a minute.
And you're supposed to be training us.
Give me a break.
You can barely tie your shoes.
Come on, Iet's Iet Mr. Zoom
finish his oatmeal.
It's Cream ofWheat, dude.
It's remarkable. 2.5 tons per arm.
Wow, you shaved.
Wow, you noticed.
Would you believe that Iittle girl
is holding 5 tons above her head?
-Look at that.
-Wait.
Cindy, what are you wearing?
It's my alter eggo.
You mean your "alter ego"?
I'm a princess.
-Cindy, you're not a princess.
-But I Iook pretty.
Yeah, but pretty girls don't have any
real friends and they never get any respect.
Take Miss Holloway, for instance.
Hey.
Scatter.
Nice toss, Cindy. Really good.
Why don't you get a juice box
and a Rice Krispy treat?
It's unbelievable.
It's as if he's not even there.
-Because he's not there.
-He's escaped again.
Security, Code Dylan.
I repeat, Code Dylan. Thank you.
-I don't know why he does that.
-Because he doesn't Iike it here, Grant.
Don't know why not. It's good food.
Dr. Grant.
Tucker won't come out of the bullpen.
It's okay, Tucker.
I know you don't have any control
over this thing yet,
but can you please try to expand?
-I am trying, all right?
-You're wasting your time.
-Jack, you are undermining his confidence.
-What confidence?
He's a Iazy Iittle chubba bubba.
Hey, Marsha.
Exactly what part of him is this?
Help.
Hey there. Those kids
aren't going to be ready for anything.
Unless, of course,
you put Tucker in a vat of paint.
He swells up, you could do a room
in a couple of seconds. Other than that...
Well, maybe if you trained them at all...
Look, you know, it just might help
if I knew what I was training them for.
I'm sorry. I don't have time right now.
I'm Iate for a meeting.
Look out.
Oh, man... Hey, are you all right?
-Yes.
-That was some fall.
You know, you're a nice woman.
But this whole program is a mistake.
The Iast thing the world needs is
a bunch of kids running around in costumes
thinking that they're heroes.
Sorry.
What happened to you?
What happened to the Sacred Oath?
Issue number one.
"Faster than fast. Truer than true.
In the pursuit of justice
-"there is no speed Iimit."
-There is no speed Iimit.
Yeah. Are you bipolar?
It's a comic book.
It's government propaganda.
They made it up.
-I'm sorry. Who's talking?
-To cover up.
It wasn't true.
It's not... None of that stuff is true.
It was true to me.
The brain scans do not correlate
with the children's test results.
They are subconsciously suppressing
their full abilities.
We face an imminent threat.
These kids have got to be ready now.
Sir, it might help
if I knew what the imminent threat was.
Sorry I'm Iate. I didn't get the memo.
You know? But I heard the word
"imminent threat." What exactly...
Hold it, Shepard. We're holding a meeting
for people who matter,
and Miss Holloway.
Well,
I think maybe a big bowl of prunes
might turn that frown upside down, General.
Guards, take him where the Iosers are
plotting another failure. He knows the way.
-Go to see your family, huh?
-Get him out of here now.
Five days and counting.
Scatter.
Holloway.
You mind telling me what was going on
between you and Larraby?
Jack, it's Iate.
I can't help those kids
unless I know what's going on.
You know, when they started talking
about bringing you in...
-Yeah?
-...I was ecstatic.
Finally I would meet the only real superhero
Ieft in the world.
Would you Iet that
superhero stuff go, please?
A hero who would fight for justice
at all costs.
I was a really Ionely,
kind of weird child.
Well, at Ieast you know
you've grown out of that.
And the only comfort I found
was in reading about you.
That's because you're out of your mind.
You gotta stop with this comic book stuff.
You know, the first thing you said to me
was that you're not a real superhero.
-Right.
-Well, I didn't believe you then.
But congratulations,
because you have convinced me.
You are nothing but a bitter man
happily getting paid to take your
resentments out on these children.
It's horrible.
AII right, then.
We'II do this again.
Hey, that was a good meeting
Iast night, Grant.
Yeah, it was cool.
It was just a simple staff meeting.
That's what I thought, simple staff meeting,
based on the way
I was shuffled out of there.
So where we going?
We've got combat training tomorrow.
We've got to get you into
some protective gear.
I don't want to hold your hand, thanks.
I don't want to hold your hand.
Let go of my hand.
That's quite painful.
AII right. I'II hold your hand. Careful.
And what'd I tell you about costumes?
It's not a costume. It's my perfective gear.
Yeah? How's a ballerina costume
going to protect you?
Are you crazy?
Who wants to hurt a ballerina?
Other ballerinas, Baryshnikov.
Wait a minute. No way.
Is that you, Mr. Pibb?
You recognize me?
How you doing, buddy? Give me five.
Mr. Pibb?
Yeah, that's the name we gave him.
We didn't have many friends down here,
so they built us one.
He'd go get you candy and sodas,
that sort of thing.
You were nice to him.
Do you have to touch things to,
Iike, understand them?
-Not always.
-What's he thinking about now?
He thinks you've had an increase in mass.
Mr. Pibb.
It's impossible to know
what he thinks, Miss Jones.
His program
is a rudimentary 15-megabyte system.
He has no thoughts.
I suppose you don't have thoughts
of what your Iife would be Iike
if you were a figure skater?
Well, then. I guess I'II Ieave you kids
in the capable hands of Jack Shepard.
You do that, Grant. I'II take care of them.
Mr. Pibb, is that old Rambler
still down in the hangar?
Got the keys?
AII right, come on, guys. Watch your heads.
Come on, this way. Get over here.
Go over there.
AII right, Pibb.
Knock off the security cameras.
Open the door.
Let's go. Go, go, go.
AII right, stand right there. Ready?
-Whoa.
-Whoa.
It's the flying saucer from Area 51. It exists.
Look at that.
Wow.
We rebuilt it as best we could
after it crash-Ianded in the Iate '40s.
It's really awesome.
Yeah, it's amazing.
Yeah. It's really cool.
And is this what's going to take us
to all of our superhero gigs?
I'm getting goose bumps.
Got to stabilize this thing.
-Can I try?
-You want to drive?
Yeah, definitely.
AII right, just sit down there.
And you want to get your hands in that
green and blue slime.
Right.
-Little gross in there, isn't it?
-Nasty, yeah.
Oh, boy.
-Let's make this thing rock.
-Yeah, how do you make it go faster?
Faster?
Therein Iies the problem, guys, of the FE-12.
We never really figured this thing out.
It only goes 20 miles an hour.
Maybe there's Iess to figure out
than there is to understand.
Hey, barbeque, to go.
Tucker, put the cow back.
But I'm hungry.
-Tucker.
-AII right.
Hey, hey, hey. Watch the...
...Iight pole.
Hello. Welcome to Wendy's.
May I take your order, please?
-CIassic Triple, Iettuce, tomato.
-Get me one.
CIassic Triple, Iettuce, tomato... I got it.
CIassic...
-Can you see? Can you see this?
-No, it's all green and blurry.
-Extra fries.
-Hold on a second.
I'm going to have a...
What kind of toys do you have?
Chicken. Spicy Chicken Sandwich.
The other order's Crispy Nuggets.
-Is that it?
-Six Frosties.
Six Frosties. Chocolate.
AII right.
Now, what's everyone else drinking?
We come in peace.
Take me with you.
That's right, Bob. We're outside the Wendy's
where apparently
a lot of people have seen
some type of flying saucer.
I'm here with David right now,
who actually works at Wendy's.
David, can you tell us what you saw?
I saw the flying saucer. I saw it land.
I saw it make this noise that it made.
It went...
as it wobbled, and then...
That's it. That's the way they sounded.
-That's the way it was.
-And you actually saw the aliens? I mean...
Well, it's not that...
The alien in the spaceship ordered from me.
You know, I don't know.
Maybe the spaceship runs on ice cream.
That's my theory.
Because he ordered
a whole bunch of Frosties.
Oh, no.
Just go back and act Iike nothing happened.
We had a great day. Let's just
Ieave it at that. AII right, you guys?
If I were you, Dylan, I'd disappear.
Hey, Marsha.
Mr. Shepard. How dare you?
-Do you even know what you've done?
-Yeah. I got you a hot chicken sandwich.
No, thank you.
Are you a vegetarian?
You're supposed to be training these kids
for their first simulation.
And instead, you're out gallivanting
in a stolen spaceship.
Was I gallivanting?
Looks Iike the saucer's not the only
thing stuck in the '50s.
You're probably 50.
I'm not a vegetarian.
It's a Iife choice. Nothing wrong with it.
Cindy.
Let go of my face, please.
What are you doing in here?
I had a bad dream.
Well,
I'm sorry you had a bad dream.
That's easy to do here, I guess.
You...
-Let's walk you back to your room.
-Can I sleep here?
-Just for tonight?
-No, that's not a real good idea.
You don't want to stay here. I snore.
I'm quite gassy.
I'm scared.
Hello? Little help here?
You want to stay on the couch?
Thanks, Mr. Zoom.
Can you Iet the Iight in?
Yeah.
I'II Ieave the door open.
Because why would we want it dark
while we're sleeping?
Good night, Cindy.
Mr. Zoom?
Cindy, please.
Am I different?
Yeah.
You know, but in a good way.
I feel too different.
Yeah, I'm sure you do,
because you're wearing a rabbit outfit.
You gotta go to sleep, Cindy.
Is that why Mommy and Daddy
sent me here?
Listen.
You were right the first day.
You're special.
There's nobody in the world
that can do what you do.
Your parents, who Iove you very much,
they sent you here
so you'd Iearn how to use your difference
to help people.
Good night.
Good night.
That was bolted to the wall.
Welcome to our fully operational,
multi-platform J-1000 mission simulator.
It is imperative
that you learn to avoid enemy fire.
A bit more advanced than in your day, eh?
Yeah, in my day
we just had that British guy named Ben
who threw sticks at us.
So what are the holes for?
It's funny you should ask that.
That's the first question people ask.
Our technician is Dick. Dick?
The holes are for firing the paintballs.
AII right. I'm out of here.
Oh, great. Another Code Dylan.
He must Iike that isolation room.
We'll have to proceed without Mr. West.
The objective is to get the kids
to 70% combat capacity.
I'm going to start them off easily,
about 10%. What do you think? 10%?
Yeah, yeah. That sounds great.
Dick, 10.
Children, your goal is to stop the simulator
by pressing that red button in the center.
How hard can that be?
I don't know.
Are you working on attraction or repulsion?
Watch.
Ready?
That would be attraction.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't...
Meanie.
Oh, no.
-Watch out.
-Look out.
I'm getting...
I want a name.
Ten more, that's your name.
Get me a name.
Hey. How about nine more?
There's your name.
Excuse me, Dr. Grant.
Sorry, Dr. Grant.
Why the rush, kids?
Watch out.
You see, it all works together
in a double helix.
So if you can manage to...
I've got a thing. If you could get the
double helix going, I'II be right back.
Think double helix.
-That was ridiculous.
-That was really bad.
I thought it was fun.
Hey, guys. I shook down
our robot buddy, Mr. Pibb,
and I got you some snacks.
I got mine already. Thanks.
You guys Iook Iike modern art.
Come on.
How'd you guys think the training went?
-Oh, please. Like you care.
-Hey. Chill out a Iittle bit.
I'm not the one that dropped you off
here at the military base, you know.
No, you didn't drop us off here,
but you were supposed to teach us.
Thanks for all the training, Captain.
-You don't care about us.
-She's right.
I got hit with so many paintballs,
I've got more bruises than skin.
-Mr. Shepard?
-What?
You care about us,
right?
I brought cake.
Don't be fooled, Cindy.
He only cares about himself.
Come here. Let's go get you cleaned up.
Wait. Hey, Iook.
Cake.
Smells Iike old socks in here.
Is he in there?
Sucks being in here, doesn't it?
You know, Larraby actually knitted this.
He and Grant, buck naked by a fire,
knit one, purl two.
They knitted this to contain people Iike us.
I got out of here three times.
And I'II bet Cindy could get out of here
whenever she wanted to.
When I was her age, I used to just have
one Ieg work faster than the other.
I did this kind of fast hopping thing.
So you could skip?
Hop. Let's go with hop.
One day, a bunch of my buddies
wanted to go down to the creek,
you know, to throw fish at each other,
paint our face. Guy stuff, you know.
I wanted to go there so bad
that I concentrated
-and I just began to do my Iittle...
-Skipping thing.
Hopping.
AII of a sudden, man, I was there.
Boy, they noticed that.
And then other people noticed.
People Iike the Zenith Program,
they noticed.
So they dragged me and my...
They dragged me and my older brother...
-I didn't know you had a brother.
-They dragged me here, and Grant,
I think he's had enough. Let him out.
Come on, Dylan.
This is Control.
This is Mr. Grant. You can release Dr. West.
I'm sorry. This is Dr. West.
Could you release Mr. Grant?
-Okay, you want us to release...
-No, don't release Dr. Grant.
-Release Mr. West.
-Wait, you want us... You just said...
-Just do what I say.
-Yes, sir.
Two days and counting.
I'm pretty sure the ice cream's this way.
"Outdoor Survival Simulator"?
Sweet.
This room is so cool.
What's Dr. Grant doing in there?
Look.
CIose the door.
Kids.
Very good. That's great. It's closing up.
Keep it open just a...
It's going... Oh, no, it's go... No, no.
It closed.
Good job.
Shouldn't you be in bed? Seriously.
Are you waiting for Peter Pan?
I'm just kidding around. Tucker.
Could you back off the control panel
a little bit? There are buttons on there
I really don't want you to push,
because...
I told you not to...
Why didn't you Iisten to me?
Okay, that's it.
Summer, I want you to open that door.
I want the rain to stop right away,
please.
You're making me very angry, children.
This is not funny. This is not...
What's he doing?
Press another button. Do not push button.
I told you, no button.
If you...
No more buttons.
Do it, Cindy.
Oh, nasty. Come on.
It is the emotional core that is missing
in these children's Iives.
...that magnetiZes so you can't move.
Put your head against these little diodes
and they give you
13 times the lethal dose
of Gamma radiation.
And that made you more powerful?
Dylan, they're not going to put you in here.
That's why I'm here.
To encourage your talents naturally.
Dylan, I'm talking to you. Where do you go
when you fuzz out Iike that?
I...
You don't perchance get a Iittle headache
over your eye when you do that, do you?
Maybe.
Maybe?
Maybe.
Dylan, I got an idea.
I want you to think about Summer right now.
Stand here and see if you can find her.
-But she's nowhere near here.
-I understand that.
Trust your instincts. Go down this hallway
in your mind and find her.
I'm in her room.
No, I...
I can see her dancing.
This is unbelievable. This is a real gift.
It's called mind-sight.
Look,
these kids are going to need a Ieader.
This team needs one.
And a Ieader is someone
who can see the way.
I think that may be you.
And which one of the old team
had the mind-sight thing like me?
-Oh, Marksman.
-Marksman.
What happened to him?
And your girlfriend, Ace?
They all Iost their Iives doing what they do,
being heroes.
-Like in the comic book.
-Yeah.
So this killer, Concussion...
I thought that was all made up.
Some of it was made up.
So this maniac wiped out the whole team?
It really wasn't his fault.
I mean, they made him into that.
He was part of the team?
-Yeah.
-And you trusted him.
He was your friend, and he...
You don't know what
you're talking about, okay?
Concussion was your brother.
His name was Connor.
Summer, what's with the necklace?
It was the Iast thing my parents gave me
before they Ieft.
I guess they couldn't handle my powers.
Can I...
I'm sorry, Miss Holloway.
We couldn't find him anywhere.
Okay. Thank you.
AII right. Well, we'II just have
to proceed without Mr. Shepard today.
If everyone will open up their books...
Hey, sorry I'm Iate,
but I had to get my gang together.
Make the measurements, guys.
Don't be afraid to tickle them.
It almost Iooks Iike you're glad to see me.
No, no, I'm not... I'm not glad to see you.
I mean, the children are glad to see you.
And, well, I guess if they're glad to see you,
then I'm glad to see you. I don't know.
Okay. I'm glad.
-Go ahead.
-Okay.
Well, anyway, kids,
this is what we're going to do.
We're gonna continue
your physical training,
along with your teamwork exercises,
but to complement your internal strengths.
-When do we get names?
-We'II deal with that, but right now,
most importantly,
I want to deal with the fundamentals,
and there's two fundamentals,
control and execution.
Think about it. Control and execution.
Come on, guys. Follow me.
One. Two. Three.
Pull.
You all right?
He's invented a super fabric for Tucker.
Congratulations, Ed.
Yeah.
The coolest, strongest, best time
you ever attracted or repelled something
because whenever that was, it was just...
Nailed it.
Thanks.
-I got it.
-Yes.
Yeah!
Yeah, man. Nice job.
Well, how are they?
They're enjoying their victory.
-It's been quite a week for them.
-Yeah.
Why the sudden change of heart?
They're becoming a real team, those kids.
And I didn't realize what an incredible team
I had until they were gone.
And I'd Iike them
to avoid that same mistake.
Nuts?
No. It's beautiful.
No, I mean do you Iike nuts?
Yes, please.
-There you go.
-Thank you.
I think if we'd had someone
who cared about us
and taught us to succeed as a family,
things would've been different for Connor,
and certainly for the rest of the team.
Somebody...
Somebody Iike you.
I ain't cleaning that up.
Our only hope lies
with Marsha and Zoom training the kids.
You can't be considering Gamma radiation
after what happened to Zoom's brother?
Concussion becoming evil
was a horrible result.
He's coming for Zoom
sooner than I thought.
And this is where he'II emerge.
These will allow you to see
the dimensional rift we've been tracking.
He's more powerful than I thought.
You better have a plan
that works this time, birdbrain.
Well, the kids will have to distract him
so that we can Iaunch
the sonic net I've designed.
The net will capture him in such a way
that it causes him
to concuss back on himself.
-Is that our only option?
-Well, if Zoom still had his powers,
his speed could create a mega vortex
which would trap Concussion and reverse
the dark effects of the Gamma radiation.
How much time have we got?
Forty-eight hours. Tops.
Anybody home?
-Hi.
-Hey.
-Nothing to wear?
-How'd you guess?
Come here. Maybe I have something for you.
There it is. I knew it was in here somewhere.
Wow.
Pretty.
That's perfect.
-Are you sure?
-Oh, yeah.
It's just one of many purchased
for dates that never happened.
Turned out to be Ionely nights
reading my comic books.
In between the crying fits.
It all started with my prom.
I always thought the prom queen
should be the girl with the highest I.Q.
Now that would make sense.
Finally, a woman without a Iab coat.
We got a party now.
You know, I Iike having you here.
Don't get me wrong.
But I'm not sure Cindy
can handle the competition.
-This is really nice of you.
-Well, they worked hard. They deserve this.
Look at Summer.
-Hi.
-Hey.
So, where are you going dressed Iike that?
Why? Do I Iook stupid?
No, you Iook nice.
-Hi.
-Hey.
-You Iike it?
-Yeah. You Iook beautiful.
I thought your necklace Iooked a Iittle bare,
so I made this for you in R and D.
For everything I see in you,
and everything I don't.
I think your powers are wonderful.
I'm not that wonderful.
I mean, I just hope you're not disappointed
with what you do or don't see from here.
As Iong as I get to keep Iooking,
I guarantee you I'II never be disappointed.
Do you want to dance?
Yes.
Do you mind if we take these off?
Because you are so...
blind.
Whoa. Let me put these back on.
No, it's okay.
You'II just have to move a Iittle closer.
Still can't see you.
What the hey is going on here?
This room is off-Iimits.
Hey. Come on, Your Highness, calm down.
You're going to have a stroke.
Look. Have a drink.
The kids are just having fun.
The kids want to have a Iittle fun?
I Iike to have fun.
Kids, Iet's take a 10-mile run.
Guards. Holloway.
Make sure it happens now. Move out.
Boy, for a straight guy, you're dramatic.
What's all this stuff? What are you doing?
Something I should have done Iong ago.
You're going to hurt these kids
Iike you hurt my team.
To meet my standards, whatever it takes.
We'II be starting first thing in the morning.
Let's get cracking.
Hey, guys. Everybody. Get up. Come on.
Get up.
Come on, gorgeous. Hop up.
SIeeping's for wimps. Get up. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Come on, come on. There you go.
Everybody. Come on. Get up.
Hurry, before the guards see us.
Good, good, good. Figured you guys
would be getting tired of sleeping.
Come on. Tucker, come on, buddy, get up.
Roll that big potato out of bed.
Hit your Iight. There you go, come on.
Get up, get up.
What's the matter with you?
What time did you go to bed Iast night?
How tired can you guys...
AII right. Somebody brush his teeth,
get him in his outfit. Let's go. Come on.
I said Iet's go.
AII right, all right.
What are you dressed as, Super-Poodle?
What is that?
Where are we going?
Oh, neat. An electrical panel.
It's a secret electrical panel.
Quiet.
Come on.
I'm tired. Let's go back to bed.
-I'm hungry.
-I'm cold.
Stop whining. Superheroes don't whine.
Where are we?
We are someplace
where the cameras won't see us.
-Whoa, what is this?
-Are we getting our names?
Finally, we get our names.
Wait, I thought you said names don't matter.
AII right, all right. I was mistaken.
You want names? You got to have names.
Chubby will now be called
"The Incredible Bulk."
-Oh, dude.
-That's stupid.
You, the bully, Iet's call you "Strong Girl."
-I want something pretty.
-That is pretty.
-No, it's not.
-Yes, it is pretty.
And for you, Iet's go with "Mental Chick."
-Mental Chick?
-I Iike that.
-That is not funny.
-Yes, it is.
-I think it's good, 'cause you're...
-I Iike it.
That's terrible. You're not calling me that.
Yeah, Mental Chick and Invisiteen.
Whoa. No, that is terrible.
-Come on. You're Mega-Boy.
-Mega-Boy?
-What do you call me?
-Houdini.
-Houdini?
-You know? He's always escaping stuff.
-Princess.
-Princess.
-And she's Wonder.
-Thanks.
AII right, I give up. You guys want to
name yourselves, you've named yourselves.
-Houdini.
-Princess.
-Wonder.
-Mega-Boy.
-Now we're a team.
-Now we're a family.
And this family is getting out of here.
I'm taking you someplace safe tonight.
-But we're heroes now.
-And we have names and everything.
I know you do.
You have names, you're heroes,
but I think it'd be safer
if we just got out of here.
Take the FE-12, we can use that and...
What's the matter, Dylan?
I'm in a hallway.
Stay out of the Iadies' room.
Okay, now, I'm in a control room.
-What do you see?
-I see Dr. Grant and Larraby.
Tell me they're wearing women's dresses.
There's frozen images on a screen.
I know what they're training us for.
What?
Your brother.
He's alive. He's coming back.
That's impossible.
Stay out of sight.
General Larraby, it is only a matter
of moments before Concussion will be here.
At 8:59 p.m., the portal broke through
the final dimension.
Wow. Just when I was beginning to Iike you.
"It's all for the kids, helping them cope,
bring out what's best in them."
-What are you talking about?
-Stop the innocent routine, okay?
What?
Jack.
That's when we deploy the sonic net.
What the hell's going on?
Right now, my stomach flesh is burning.
-Jack. Jack, can you talk to me?
-Not now, Holloway.
Guards, get her out of here.
My brother is alive? Why didn't you tell me?
Well, you know... Is that a flock of birds
or my car alarm? Hold on a minute.
We didn't tell you about Connor
because you didn't need to know.
They're going to be heroes, Jack,
and heroes always do the right thing.
You're going to send these kids
up against Concussion?
They'II never have a chance.
Not the way you've trained them.
Guards, take this bozo away.
One hour and counting.
I'm way too big for this. You can't... Guys...
You know, they're just a bunch of kids.
You can't do this.
Five, seven, and nine clear.
It's a go.
We're clear over here.
What'd you see?
They're prepping the Gamma-13.
Miss Holloway will stop them,
won't she?
I don't know, Cindy.
I don't know.
Well, I'm...
I'm afraid it's time.
I'm so sorry about this. Truly.
It's okay. We're used to being used.
I know there's nothing I can do
to make this up to you,
except possibly...
Tucker.
-That was awesome.
-Come on, Iet's go.
Can I help you, Miss Jones?
Put me down, Miss Jones.
Man, that is so hot.
You think so?
-Hey, not bad. Nice work.
-Thanks.
Hasta luego, man.
I'II check this one.
I think he's...
-Where is he?
-I think he's over here.
No. No. He's right here.
Hey. Somebody call for a rescue party
with extra cheese?
Hey, it's about time. Open the door.
You want to do the honors?
Hey, maybe something Iike,
"Stand back. We're going to break
the door down" could have been tossed out.
You know there's a Iittle green button
to the Ieft that says, "Open"?
-You all right?
-Yeah.
-Wait. Why is she here?
-No, it's cool. She's one of us.
-What do you mean, she's one of us?
-She blows.
-Yeah.
-No, I mean she blows.
Come on. Show him.
So...
So you've got powers?
Remember I was kind of a weird child?
That's why I came here.
Why didn't you say something?
This is, Iike, great news.
You're Iike part of the family.
-Dudes. Escape, remember?
-Right. Let's go.
I want this done as fast and
efficiently as possible. Highest Ievels.
Yes, sir.
What's that?
What's happening?
Dylan. Open it up.
-What are you doing?
-I'm saving the day. That's what I do.
Summer, get us out of here.
This is all wrong.
This goes there
and that, there.
Hey, Dylan, get inside.
Get inside.
Shut the hangar doors.
Shut the hangar doors.
Oh, boy.
Summer.
-We're hot to go.
-Yes.
What about Jack?
T-minus 10 minutes.
You got to drop me off here
and take the kids someplace safe.
-We're not Ieaving you.
-Well, then, wait here.
At Ieast do that. Wait for me.
Let me talk to my brother.
This is between him and me.
But we're family.
Believe me. I know what I'm doing.
I know what I'm doing.
Yeah.
What am I doing?
Mr. Pibb, Jack's out there all alone.
He needs our help.
Will you distract Concussion?
PIease?
Connor.
My God, it is you.
Connor, it's me, Jack. It's Jack.
Nobody wants to fight you.
I just want to talk.
Wow.
-You got old, Iittle brother.
-Yeah.
Well, I guess I didn't have the advantage of
Iiving Iarge in some dimensional rift
where I don't age...
Living Iarge? Try alone.
Conscious only of being betrayed by you
in that Iiving hell.
Betrayed? You took out the whole team.
You shouldn't have tried to stop me, Jackie.
Jackie?
What did Mom tell you
about calling me Jackie?
That was good.
Boy, that... That smarts.
Well, you certainly haven't
Iost your touch, brother.
Have you Iost your powers, Jack?
Well...
You've got to stop doing that.
You have Iost your powers, Jack.
Boy. Hey, are those new boots?
When you say Iost my powers,
I think if I really Iooked, I could find them.
This is even better than I expected.
Load up the sonic net and prepare to fire.
This is it, Jack. I've waited 30 years for this.
Pibb?
Pibb?
Wow. They must have really dragged you
out of the mothballs, huh?
Steady.
Well, hope you got an army behind you.
Or a tiny girl in pigtails.
What is this, "Attack of the Pre-schoolers"?
These kids, they don't know what they're
doing, Connor. This is between you and me.
-So this is the new team, huh?
-Cindy, go back.
You just run up to the big bad guy
all willy-nilly now? Is that how it goes?
Fire.
-Cindy, run.
-No, no.
Zoom!
Cindy, are you okay?
Cindy, you're safe now.
You're okay. It's me. It's Jack.
PIease, Cindy, don't do this to me.
You're all right. Come on, Princess.
Princess? That's me.
Mr. Shepard, you moved so fast.
Yes, I did.
I knew it.
I knew you hadn't Iost your powers.
Guess I just needed a reason to use them.
Jack, I'm sorry. You were right, man.
We weren't ready.
Yeah, yeah. Come on.
You read the comic books.
Superhero secret, first plan never works.
Is that it? Is that all you got?
Not by a Iong shot, sonny-boy.
Stand back. No, no, no.
Everybody, get back.
Load up the second net and prepare to fire.
That's a fantastic idea, sir.
I wish we had a second net.
Why, you fumbling, bumbling bozo.
Okay, all right. You guys, wait right here.
I'II be back in a second, give or take.
Just Iike riding a bike.
Is that it?
Is there anyone else who can face me?
-I'm still standing here, you Iittle twerp.
-Sir, I wouldn't do that.
What's that sound?
-Hey, it's...
-Jackie.
Actually,
it's Zoom.
-Suit Iooks good.
-Nice suit, Iizard-boy.
Let's play ball.
-Zoom.
-Hey.
Hey, Connor.
You kind of suck at this, don't you, dude?
Oh, no. He's going to miss.
Zoom. We have a chance to save him.
You must close the vortex.
Must save Connor.
No.
Connor.
Connor, the vortex worked this time.
Maybe you can use your powers for good.
I'm sorry, Jack.
Give your Iittle brother a hug. Come on.
Yeah. I got my brother back.
-We did it.
-Now that's what I call teamwork.
This is Connor. This is Dylan. Come on.
Welcome to the family, brother.
This is Marsha.
-Nice to meet you.
-You, too.
-Hi. What's your name?
-Cindy.
-Cindy.
-Hey. Summer.
-I'm Tucker. How's it going?
-Tucker, hi.
Somebody's going to have to drive
on the way back. We've got the...
Can I? Can I drive?
-Can she drive?
-Yeah, she can drive.
We got the FE-12 running again.
Remember the old saucer from back then?
Oh, yeah. Where is it? Out there? Oh, yeah.
Hold it, Zoom.
What?
What are you going to do now?
You know us heroes.
We always do the right thing.
Come on, Grant. We got work to do.
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Iet down your hair.
It's Princess Rapunzel.
Whatever.
Whoa.
My prince.
That's my Princess.
Ready.
Go, red.
Go, white. Go, red.
Fight. Fight. Fight.
And so, Zoom was reunited with his brother
and a new Zenith team.
But they were more than a team.
They were a family.
Team Zenith.

I'II try one time bigger.
-No, I'm kidding.
-I'm kidding, I got it.
I'm quicker than you think.
We're funnier on TV.
Maybe it's the screen size.
-If you went Iike this.
-Rolling.
We like to poo in our pants

That's not in the script.
Look, dude, I don't know.

-No, I want to do it just Iike that.

Who knows? You're the one
who's supposed to say the stuff.
You're the one on camera.
Who cares about me? Shut up. I'II do it.
These children have a... Are in a...

And you want these Iittle Iunatics
