Stretch Armstrong & the Flex Fighters (2017) s02e03 Episode Script

1
All right, Riya.
You think you can catch this?
Sorry, honey.
I'll go a little easier next time.
[Jake] Hey, what's under here?
Guess this is yours, huh?
I could have found it myself,
but, uh thanks.
My mom says you should always try
to help people,
even people you don't know.
Come on, little lady,
it's time to catch the train!
Let's go, Jake.
We're gonna lose our place on
the roundabout to my brothers.
-Great day, wasn't it, kiddo?
-Except we almost lost the ball.
But we found it.
That's all that matters.

What's with Gabe?
Obviously he hates us
'cause he hates Nathan,
'cause Nathan kinda stole Erika
from him.
But isn't that what he fought Nathan for?
The whole dueling glove thing?
Huh.
Guess not.
Theater kids are best at stink-eye.
I can literally feel his eyeballs on me.
[Nathan] Guys!
Whoa!
Watch it there, Mr. Park.
Running at school can really flora you.
"Flora," because I'm your botany teacher.
Get it? [laughs]
Oh. [forced laugh]
I Thanks.
Did you see that?
Mr. Savic must be doing
old-man-powerlifting or something.
Guys, forget that.
I'm freaking out!
What is it this time?
Tomorrow is dodgeball day?
No, much more--Wait, tomorrow
isn't really dodgeball day, is it?
[they sigh]
Okay. So earlier today,
I kinda, sorta, decided to
Well, after all that Dreamscape business,
I I told Erika
about my secret identity.
Dude! What the What?
Why would you do that?
That puts us at risk too.
Yeah, I thought she'd be supportive,
like in my dream. But instead she Um
-What? Dude, what?
-Called me a criminal and ran away?
-Dude.
-Dude.
No way she'd turn us all in, right?
Nah, she wouldn't do that, I think?
[ringtone]
-Dr. C's calling.
-Whatever she wants, you deal with it.
I gotta stay here
and figure out if Erika
Okay, guys, wait for me!
[Jake] I don't get it. The message from
Dr. C coded this as a top priority.
-There's nothing here.
-And where's Blindstrike?
She's usually the first to arrive.
Let's find the crime first.
Then we can decide how much
we can tease Blindstrike for being late.
Dr. C, we're seeing nothing
suspicious.
It's designed to not look suspicious.
It's one of my old safe houses.
A motion alarm was tripped.
A safe house?
If I lived here for the rest of my life,
Erika could never find me.
Does this place have Wi-Fi?
Dr. C, I'd say your safe house
is still safe
because we're not seeing
or hearing a peep.
-Except for that.
-My vault. It contains Flexarium.
Whoever's breaking into it could end up
with one of the most volatile
substances in the world.
What, no answer on the Wi-Fi?
[scraping]
Back up. I can crack it now.
[lock clicks]
What is it? Jewelry, cash?
Chemicals? Let's take them.
These things must be worth something.
It's not gonna be worth the beat down
you're about to get.
[blade whoosh]
[gasps]
Maybe this is good.
I've got some stress to take out today.
[grunts]
This is really not my day!
[grunts]
[weapon swishes]
[yells]
[grunting]
[yells]
These guys are hardcore.
It'd be nice to fight ninja with ninja.
Dr. C, can we get
a little Blindstrike going on?
If Blindstrike is able, she will be there.
If she's able? Come on.
We brought stretch powers
to a ninja fight.
They're getting real stabby up in here.
[groans]
[both grunt]
Guys, it's not time for a break!
Get your heads in the game.
-Should've seen that coming.
-It's cool.
If Erika tells my parents the truth,
I'm probably better off in here anyway.
Stand back.
[thudding]
[Ricardo grunts]
[Daggers groan]
Yay, we're free, to face the
consequences of our decisions.
[Jake] So no Blindstrike here either?
Hmm.
[computer beeping]
I've known her much longer than you.
She goes off the grid sometimes.
You'll get used to it.
That's not how a team's supposed to work.
Where could Blindstrike be?
Just chill, dude. She's probably
just off meditating somewhere.
[thudding]
[sword resonates]
[blows land]
[mechanical whirring]
[weapon charges]
[electronic whirring]
[electricity crackles]
[crackling]
[water drips]
[electrical whirring]
[static crackles]
Interesting.
[bell rings]
[indistinct chatter]
What's wrong?
You look as paranoid as Nathan.
Oh, can you blame me for being paranoid?
I haven't seen Erika for, like, two days.
Maybe she's just avoiding us.
Yeah, avoiding us so she won't
be around when the cops arrive.
Jake, it's Riya. She's missing.
I know. I said we should go look for her.
But now it's serious.
-But when I said it, it wasn't?
-Correct.
I sent her a link for the trailer
to the re-release
of Zombies Walk Among Us, the
European cut with five restored scenes,
and she did not respond.
-Something must be mega wrong.
-Erika probably went straight to Rook.
Let's get our stories straight
for when they question us.
We're all part of the chess team.
We didn't fight monsters,
we played chess with them.
Quick question.
Do monsters play chess?
Nathan, stop. I'm as terrified
of this Erika thing as you are,
but until there are actual consequences,
we can't drive ourselves insane wondering.
Huh.
You're right, you're right.
Nothing's happening yet,
and I probably shouldn't totally freak out
until it does, which it will, any second.
Whatever happens,
we're all in this together.
Well, not all of us. Riya is
conveniently missing from all of this.
I've been thinking. The other day,
I saw her looking at an online map
of an old beach house,
which is strange because
she's not really the vacation type.
But it's pretty far outside the city.
[seagulls cry]
This is it, from the picture.
Let's see what Blindstrike's up to.
If she's even here.
Yeah, I'd say she was here.
Looks like she was doing
some major redecorating.
[kettle whistles]
[mechanical whirring]
I say, dear chaps, a spot of tea?
No? Then I hope you won't mind
if I partake.
I'm so parched,
I'm absolutely spitting feathers.
[slurps]
Ah.
Good show.
Now then, give me the ninja,
and this can all proceed
in a civilized manner.
You give us the ninja.
[laughs] There appears to be some
confusion. I do not have him.
I've been hired to acquire this fellow,
and I do not plan on leaving empty-handed.
-Then I'd advise a change of plans, sir.
-"Sir"? Proper manners.
Sadly, it will not prevent
our impending fracas.
Wait. Fracas? What's a--?
[groans]
Hey, what happened to proper manners?
Ah!
To quote the poet,
"All's fair in love and war"!
Poetry isn't my thing,
Mr. Fancy-Fancy-Bad-Man.
"He who knows not poetry,
knows not the language of his own soul."
Who is this dude? Why is he so charming?
And how do we beat him?
[whirring]
[explosion]
[mechanical clanking]
Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
Are you for real?
[yells]
Ha! Gotcha, you tea-swilling,
opera-going bag of etiquette.
That'll keep the sun out of your eyes
while you wait for the police to
Hey, what what?
[mechanical whirring]
[grunts]
Fly me to the chimney!
[creaking]
Omni-Mass, you're up!
[grunts]
[mechanical whirring]
[Ricardo] Running away?
That's not classy.
You know that's load bearing?
[scraping]
[metal clangs]
Your mom and dad
Their plane
Honey, there was an accident.
Well, you're not that little girl anymore.
How did you find me?
How did you know I was still alive?
Your life could depend on this.
Flexarium reinforced,
your parents' design.
Good, it fits well.
[computer beeps]
Terribly sorry to interrupt,
but I've been hired to bring you in,
and I discovered this in the rubble
of that charming ex-beach house.
I regret demolishing that quaint home,
but it was put to good use
as the grand finale
for those three gadfly friends of yours.
Now that they've expired,
it's just you and I.
Noble effort, young man.
[grunts]
Your moves could use a little more
of the finesse that comes with experience.
Like so.
[weapons beep]
I believe the jade monstrosity
that hired me
wanted me to stop you
before you found this place. Hmm.
I wonder what he was afraid
you might discover.
Don't do it, Jonathan.
Please, don't do it.
Human testing is years away.
The risk is too high.
Never underestimate
my tolerance for risk.
[device hisses]
[gasps]
[yells in agony]
[creaking]
[roars]
Jonathan Rook is that creature?
Fascinating.
Turning you in was going to be
worth a lot to me.
This is going to be worth
so much more.
[Jake] Blindstrike,
this is the ghost of Stretch.
[wails]
[laughs]
-Just kidding. Totally alive here.
-What are you doing out here?
When you disappeared on us,
we were worried.
It's what a team does.
And good thing we did.
-This guy's nuts.
-He dropped a house on us.
Hold tight while we work on a rescue plan.
-Illegal access. Self-destruct initiated.
-Denied?
You won't keep me out of this system.
[gasps]
Hi.
[grunts]
I saw you three get flattened.
My name's Stretch. I can do flattened.
I dare say,
four against one isn't sporting.
Yet I'll see if I can manage.
[suit powers up]
[clicking]
You get bigger? I invented get bigger.
[Computer] Sixty seconds to self-destruct.
[grunts]
Whoa!
[they grunt]
-Thirty seconds to self-destruct.
-This is super fun and all, not really,
but we need to quit fighting and run!
A capital idea.
I look forward to a rematch,
assuming you survive. Cheerio.
-Blindstrike, come on!
-Fifteen seconds to self-destruct.
No. This lab has the proof we need.
Footage that shows
Rook is Stretch Monster.
[computer beeps]
We don't have time.
-I'm not leaving without it.
-Ten, nine, eight
-Blindstrike, you're not in this alone.
-seven, six
We all wanna stop Rook,
but we need to be alive to do it.
three, two, one.
[explosion]
So this wasn't just about visiting
an old vacation home, was it?
My parents created Flexarium
with Dr. C and Rook.
They were the other scientists
on the plane with Dr. C.
I was just a kid,
but I still managed to figure out
Rook was responsible
for their plane going down.
But everyone assumed Dr. C died too.
Even Rook.
Yeah. But I found enough clues
to figure out she was still alive.
I tracked her down
and insisted she train me.
So, someday, I could get my revenge,
expose what Rook did to my parents
and take him down.
Back when we were still working
for Rook,
you tried to steal the flight recorder
of the plane.
You were searching for proof
that Rook sabotaged it.
While fighting Dr. Dreamscape,
my dream was a forgotten memory.
My parents' beach house
from when I was a kid.
I'm just glad you're okay.
We should get back to HQ
and report all of this to Dr. C.
We need to take your friend too.
Now that she knows all about this,
Dr. C will wanna talk to her.
Friend?
Wait, wait. You were obviously followed
here all the way from the city
by an untrained high schooler,
and didn't even notice?
Wow. We really need to work
on your security training.
Um
Hey, guys. Cool outfits.
-Erika! What the absolute What?
-How much did you see?
Nothing, nothing at all.
Why, why? Did something happen?
-She saw everything.
-Wait, including the footage of Rook?
Yeah, that explained a lot actually.
When you first told me,
I was pretty shocked.
But I found it hard to believe
you could really be bad.
So I followed you guys
from the train station
after overhearing
your conversation at school.
Wow, you're right.
We really need to work on that training.
I had to see for myself
what the truth was, and I did.
Trust me,
I understand why you had reservations.
No one mistrusted the Flex Fighters
more than me.
But now, I'm glad to call them teammates.
I can see why.
And since I failed to retrieve the target,
I'll be returning the retainer fee.
I'd rather have the target.
And yet you do not.
So a refund is the proper thing to do,
but I'm sure I'll be seeing you again.
In fact, I guarantee it.
[growls gently]
