All language subtitles for Secret World of Alex Mack s04e14 The Return

I'm Alice Mack.

I was just an average kid until an
accident changed my life.

And since then, nothing's been the same.

My best friend Ray thinks it's cool.

My sister Annie thinks I'm a science
project.

I can't let anyone else know.

Not even my parents.

I know the chemical plant was to find me
and turn me into some experiment.

But you know something?

I guess I'm not so average anymore.

Hey.

Deny it, deny it, deny it. How did you
do that?

Do what?

Move the trash can.

I didn't move the trash can.

You on your way to paradise?

I never get my hopes up so high on a
Monday morning.

I meant paradise high.

I know you did. Yeah, I'm on my way.

Mind if I walk with you? I have no idea
where I'm going. I just moved here over

the weekend.

My name's Hunter.

Alex Mack.

So, starting school mid -semester, I'd
hate that.

Yeah, not exactly looking forward to it.

Well, if you want, I could show you
around a little, introduce you to people

stuff. Really? That'd be great.

If you do, I promise not to tell anybody
I saw you move that trash can without

touching it. I didn't.

Yeah.

Miss Atron, are you sure we're ready?

All I'm presenting are the animal test
results, Lars.

Nobody's going to know we've been
experimenting on a human. But even the

showed extensive and bizarre side
effects to GC -161.

The glowing, the telekinesis... Lars, I
thought we had an understanding never to

discuss those issues.

I'm sorry, but you're going in front of
the FDA.

And when they see that...

They'll never give you approval for
human testing.

Well, if I was going to show them the
actual test results, that might be a

problem, but I've decided to make a few
alterations. Miss Atron, I... It's going

to be a lot easier than you think.

Okay?

Meet Lydia.

You brought a pig to school. Are you
insane?

Not at all.

You know what today is.

Pig dissection day.

I brought Lydia in here to make a
statement.

A statement?

Yeah. That little cuties like this are
what fetal pigs grow up to be.

We can't stick our heads in the sand for
the sake of science.

I really don't think Mr. Horn's going to
be too happy.

You let me worry about Mr. Horn. I've
got issues with him.

Hey.

Hey, how's it going?

Lewis Otto Driscoll. Hunter Reeves.

And this is Lydia. Alex, can you hold
her for a minute?

Alex, I realize that you're concerned
about me, but this is something I feel

very strongly about.

I'm not going to back down.

Excuse me.

Miss Mack, perhaps you'll tell me why
you brought a pig into my class.

Yes, I will. The pig belongs to Lewis.

Sir, I've... Never seen this pig before
in my life.

What?

You, you, and the pig out of my class.

But... Don't make it worse for yourself,
Alex.

Sir, I don't mean to be rude, but I
really don't think this is fair.

Do you want to join them?

Lewis, how could you hang your own
friend out to dry like that?

Oh, come on. Like you guys aren't happy
to be out of school early?

Besides, I got to get little Lydia back.
I'm renting her by the hour. So I'll

catch you guys later.

Come on, Lydia.

Good girl. That's it. Come on. It's all
right.

Come on.

Wait. Throwing out of class on my first
day.

Oh, it's not so bad.

I mean, it was the last class of the
day, and it's really nice outside.

Yeah, that's true. You know, and I hate
bio anyway.

Great. Let's go.

So are you saying you went to H -On
Elementary?

Kindergarten and first grade.

Come on, your last name is Reeves?

I think I remember a John Reeves or
something.

That was me, Hunter John Reeves. I was
named after my dad, but I didn't like

being called Junior, so everybody called
me John back then.

Yeah, I remember you now, skinny kid
with messy hair and big glasses.

Wow, you grew up.

So, how come you call yourself Hunter
now?

Well, when I got a little bit older, I
decided I wanted to use my dad's name.

My real name.

My dad had this accent when I was a
little kid.

He, uh, went out on a fishing boat alone
one day, and he never came back.

That's awful.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It was a long time ago.

So, you, um, have a boyfriend?

No, uh, not at the moment.

Who was the last one?

Actually, I've never really had one
before.

There was this guy, Scott, that I had a
huge crush on, but nothing ever

happened.

So... What about you? You got a
girlfriend?

I did, back home.

Do you miss her?

What we're

seeing with the animals is that the GT
-161 increases the body's metabolic

It also appears to break down excess
fat, forcing it to be excreted from the

body as if magically dissolved.

Ms. Atron, I think I speak for the
entire committee when I say that these

some of the most incredible results that
have ever been put in front of us.

Uh, excuse me.

Are you saying that there are no real
side effects exhibited by the mice

long -term use of the drug?

None whatsoever?

Yes, that is correct.

That's a little hard to believe.

Well, the results speak for themselves.

Wow. It smells great in here. Thanks a
lot for helping out, guys.

So, um, I'm just going to be, you know,
gone for a little while.

Okay?

Later, Mom.

Okay.

Bye. Bye.

So, you were always hanging out with
this guy. What was his name?

Ray Alvarado?

We're still best friends.

No way. Nobody stays friends that long.

Well, we did.

Oh, hi.

Hi. Dad, this is Hunter Reeves.

Hunter Reeves?

I used to work with a Hunter Reeves.
That was my dad.

Well, I'll be a son of a gun. It's nice
to meet you. I thought you and your mom

moved after... We did.

We just moved back over the weekend.

So, do you still work at the chemical
plant? Sure do. I'm the head of research

and development.

Dad, dinner's in the oven. Hunter and I
are just going to go out back.

If you're head of R &D, you should know
about almost every project she has

going. To be honest, I used to know
more.

There are a couple of projects,
classified projects, that have been

my supervision recently.

I wonder if you could tell me what the
plant's been up to these days.

Excuse me?

Why? You want to be a scientist like
your dad?

Something like that.

Well, let me put my stuff down, and I'll
be happy to tell you what we're working

on now. Great. You know, foot odor is a
very serious problem. You're not wearing

plastic shoes, are you?

It's the petrochemicals in the plastic
that cause such an amazing stink.

The bacteria forms on top of the
plastic.

The committee voted now. We'll go four
to three against you.

Against me?

That's ludicrous. We have fantastic
results.

No side effects. What on earth could be
the problem?

The problem is your results are too
good.

The members voting against you feel that
another two years of animal testing are

needed before they can feel comfortable
moving forward.

They've at least come up with a couple
of small side effects like skin

irritation or something.

No drug having those kinds of results
could possibly be problem free.

Griffin, I pay you a whole lot of money
and this isn't cutting it.

You pay me for my vote. You have that. I
did my best to convince the others. I

can't push them too hard or they'll get
suspicious.

John's is the problem.

He's highly respected. He's against it.
He's got three disciples on the

committee who hate going against him.

We've got the official vote on Tuesday.
Let's dig up some dirt on the people

that are going to vote against me. That
won't be easy.

Most of these people that get these
appointments have squeaky clean

Nobody is so clean that they can't be
made to look otherwise.

Hi, Bob.

She's cute.

Yeah, but the weird thing is, yesterday
we got kicked out of bio together, and

he told me how glad he was that he hated
biology anyway.

Then when my dad shows up, he suddenly
acts like Mr. Science Boy.

Maybe he's just fucking up to your dad.

No, this went beyond fucking up.

He actually seemed interested in what my
dad had to say, which, as you know, is

very difficult to fake.

Then he ignored me for the next hour.
That's weird.

Oh, there he is. I'm going to go talk to
him. No, no, no, no, no. Don't make it

so obvious.

Okay, here's what you do.

He has history room 301, last class on
Thursday, right?

You can just accidentally, well, on
purpose, happen to show up outside the

class. If you casually approach him, it
will not look like you were planning

this for three days.

Hey, Hunter.

I can't talk, Alex. I'm busy.

Griffin was right.

Everybody on the committee is clean
except him.

Let's focus on John.

If we take him down, the others will
follow.

Sidney Johns, graduate of Yale, lives in
Silver Springs, Maryland.

Possible selection for the next U .S.
Surgeon General.

Up for Maryland's Father of the Year.

Sounds perfect.

Let's see what's available in the lab
for him.

So, how was that? Uh, exciting.

I think I'll drive back if you don't
mind.

Now, I just have something to drop off
and I'll be right back.

Who does he think he is?

Who, your dad?

No, Hunter.

I mean, one minute he's all flirty with
me and the next he'd hang around my dad

like a puppy dog.

And yesterday when I tried to talk to
him, he completely blew me off. Like, I

didn't even exist.

I think you're making a bigger deal out
of this than it probably is.

Maybe the guy really was busy.

You guys sure you want to be left off
here?

Yeah, Alex, you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

See you later, Dad.

We have to go through with this. Well,
the guy's another spy for Danielle.

just stay clear of him and forget about
him.

No way, Ray.

He's up to something, and I'm going to
find out what it is.

Hey, how you doing?

Ray Alvarado. Welcome to the
neighborhood.

Yeah, I know who you are. We've met like
three times.

Yeah. So, uh, you like Alex Mack or
what?

Why do you care? Would it make you
jealous or something?

Uh, nah, man. I got a girl. Just
curious.

Yeah, I like her.

Why? Well, you know, no one knows her
better than I do.

If I have any questions, you'll be the
first one to come to.

Okay.

Um...

Can I use your bathroom?

Yeah, come on.

It's right there on your right.

Hunter!

What? This is really nice of you.

Thanks.

Thanks for letting me make a complete
idiot out of myself. Now the guy seems

nuts. He can talk.

I think he's, like, in love with
Danielle Atron.

You know, and I'm not finished. I'm
going to figure out what's really going

with him.

You wanted to see me, Griffin? Yeah,
sit.

And I appreciate you coming by.

I just wanted to see if I could get you
to reconsider on this GC -161 thing

before our rejection becomes official
tomorrow. Oh, no way, Griff.

I don't buy results.

And frankly, I don't trust Daniel Atron
personally.

You know, the public hears about this
drug, the pressure on us to approve it.

It's going to be enormous. I don't care.

We have to do the right thing.

Hey, Alex. How was your weekend?

Great. And yours?

What did you do Saturday?

I was at the mall all day with my mom.

Liar.

Sid?

You okay?

Um, suddenly I'm a little dizzy.

I mean, spinning around a little bit.

Yeah, you don't look so good.

Let's find a place for you to lie down.

That's a good idea.

He's trapped. The system is here.

Don't bother going up. We're going to
send up the probe.

Once he's incapacitated, bringing him
down won't be a problem.

Congratulations. Thank you, Lars.

Congratulations to you, too.

Funny how their leader getting caught
running around the park in a dress

the committee's mind about GC -161.

The fit was a little tight.

Six, eight more months of rigged human
testing and we're going to be on the

shelves. People who see themselves as
even one pound overweight are going to

dying to get their hands on it.

A billion dollars in revenue, Lard.

And I won't forget what you've done.

Mythatron, one more thing.

There are a number of researchers who've
worked on this program in various

stages who know about the problems with
GC -161.

And I think they're going to be a little
concerned.

George Mack, Gordon Kramer, I could name
a lot more.

How do we know that they're going to
keep quiet?

Well, when we get a little closer, we'll
just have to make sure of it.

Hunter!

What is up with you?

What do you mean?

I know you were at the plant last night.

What? How?

I just do.

And what was it you were hanging around
my dad the other day, trying to get all

this information about the plant?

Look, Alex, forget it. I like you, okay?

And you're not going to like what I'm
going to say.

You don't even know me.

Give me a try.

Right here.

I told you my dad disappeared in a
fishing accident.

But that's not what really happened.

Adrian started developing a chemical
called GP161, which is supposed to help

people lose weight.

My dad was involved in the project early
on.

He saw that it was really dangerous.

He warned her, but she didn't listen.

He finally told her that if she didn't
stop work on it right away, he would

to go public about it.

Not long after that, he disappeared.

That's why he moved back.

I have to know what happened.

I even got into Adrian's office the
other day, saying I was doing a profile

her for the school paper, just so I
could look her in the eyes.

She has no clue how much I hate her.

I know I should be more careful, though.
I don't know how I got away yesterday.

Maybe somebody was looking out for you.

Maybe you should tell me some big secret
of yours so I can have something on

you, too Just in case I'll think about
it
