All language subtitles for Secret World of Alex Mack s04e15 Friendly Fire

I'm out now.

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.

My parents aren't taking me to work
because they need, and I quote, time to

reconnect. So while they're reconnecting
down the streets of Paris, I get to

reconnect with my grandmother who hates
me. She hates you?

Your own grandmother hates you? Well,
maybe not technically, but staying with

her is such torture. I mean, she vacuums
and mops everything daily, including

the telephones.

And to make it worse, she is insanely
paranoid.

Paranoid? In your family?

Mm -hmm.

Anyway, my life is over for the next ten
days.

What? You have to stay at your
grandmother's?

Well, I guess if I got lucky, I could
meet surgery and stay at the hospital.

I mean, now that Annie's away, I'm sure
my parents wouldn't mind if you stayed

with us.

Are you serious?

Oh, my God, Alex, I would love to stay
with you. Yeah, we don't vacuum our

telephones, and our paranoia isn't
insane. It's just kind of normal

Alex, this means so much to me.

I'm going to go rush home and tell my
parents.

Thanks a million.

You really want to do that?

My guess is that she's a little high
maintenance as a roommate.

Trust me, Ray. I know how to deal with
Robin.

Gotta wait for him. Sorry.

So, see you, Ray.

Oh, okay. See you guys later.

So, making any progress finding out what
happened to your dad?

Not yet, no.

Um, seems like the few people who worked
at the plant back when he did don't

remember very much, or don't want to.

Oh, let me know if there's anything I
can do.

Thanks, but...

Um, I don't want to get you involved
with anything that has to do with the

or Danielle.

Somehow I feel like I'm kind of involved
already.

Well, I'd better get going.

Okay, um, guess we'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah, I hope so.

Hi, Dave. Hi, Mr. Mack.

Is there something I can do for you?

No.

I just wanted to see if you had enough
test tubes and beakers and stuff.

That's what I think, too. GC -161
wouldn't just increase the body's

rate. In high doses, it could
potentially alter the entire genetic

There's no question in my mind that it's
extremely dangerous to human beings.

I know. I don't know how the FDA gave
Danielle approval for human testing.

You better get some sleep, Annie. We'll
talk again Saturday.

I will.

Bye -bye.

You're still talking to Annie?

Yeah. What were you guys talking about
for so long?

I found another one of those envelopes
filled with classified GC -161

information on my desk again. Honey, if
what that information says is true,

Danielle is breaking federal laws left
and right in her pursuit to perfect GC

-161 as a weight loss drug.

George, this is getting serious.

Wait till you hear this.

I think Dave is the one who's leaving
those envelopes for me.

Dave, the trucker slash janitor?

Honey, why?

I have no idea.

But I'm going to try to find out.

He said, I hope so.

Did he say, I hope so, like he was
kidding? Or did he say, I hope so, like

was semi -serious?

Well, actually, he said, yeah, I hope
so.

I think the emphasis was on the yeah.

It is so totally obvious that he's so
into you.

You think so?

It could have just been an offhand
comment.

Alex, when it comes to relationships
between the sexes, there are no offhand

comments. I think Boyd said that.

I just wish we had more classes
together.

You know, I really think if we spent
more time together... I know something

would happen.

I wish there was a way we could scope
out how to get you guys together.

I mean, of course, if he just asked you
out, he wouldn't even manipulate.

Vanessa.

Yeah?

Robin, do you have everything you need?

Everything. This is so incredibly nice
of you to let me stay here, Mrs. Mack.

You are saving me from indescribable
horror.

Well, we always try and save all of his
friends from indescribable horror.

I think the music might sound just as
good a few decibels lower. Do you mind?

Sorry!

Night, girls.

A party!

What? We'll have a party at my house
when my folks are away. We can invite

Hunter. I mean, you need to be alone
with him in a relaxed situation, right?

Well, what could be better than a party?

Do you understand how perfect this is? I
mean, the house is completely taken. I

have the alarm code and the key.

Are you sure he won't get busted? No
way. My parents are eating croissants

being dissed by the French.

Besides, what they don't know, we can't
get punished for.

Okay, how about like a pool party
Saturday afternoon?

Let's make the guest list.

Hunter.

really necessary.

Yes, I cannot get up without them. I
love sleeping way too much.

Oh, yeah, could you please pick up the
popcorn?

I just stepped in it.

Alex, be kind.

I have a headache.

Oh, geometry is making me sick.

I'm going to go take a shower. Could you
please clean this up?

I hate school with a passion.

You don't think there's any way your mom
would let me slide and stay home today,

do you?

No chance.

Robin, what is up with you? Last night
you were totally excited and fun to be

with. Seven hours later, you're a mess.

I know.

I'm pathetic that way.

I'm really excited about the party,
Alex.

So am I.

Are those my pants?

Uh, yeah, I didn't think you'd mind.

Here's some stuff we need for the party.

Napkins, pretzels, soda, diet soda,
bottled water, garbage bags.

What about the fork?

Oh.

And I got all this house ready, too.

Okay.

Oops.

Sorry. Robin, I just bought them.

Do you think Terry's cold?

Girls, listen, I'm going up to see
Ashley on Saturday. You want to join me?

We can't. We're going somewhere.

Oh, where?

The mall.

Which is it?

Well, we're going to the mall and then
we're going to a party.

Okay, where?

Hannah Mercury's.

So her parents are going to be there?

I don't know, probably.

Well, do you mind if I call them?

Mom, yes, I mind.

I'll find out.

Well, honey, I can just call them.

Mom, don't you trust me?

Yes, Alex. I trust you.

Doesn't seem like it.

Fine. Just make sure that someone over
the age of 16 is there, please. And

me the number in case I need you, okay?

I feel bad about lying.

No, I think there'll be a couple 17
-year -olds there.

Okay. Be there.

So, here's an invitation to the party. I
hope you can come.

Wow, you guys are really going for it
with this bash, aren't you?

Of course, this wouldn't have anything
to do with Hunter, would it?

Absolutely not. It's just not every day
they get a parentless house.

Hey, Ray, are you still on for the CDs?

Yeah. There's no way I'll leave the
music in your hands.

Be there.

You know, you're right about Robin.

Calling her high -maintenance is kind.

I just never know which Robin I'm going
to get, the upbeat, funny one or Miss

Doom. Three days into this and I'm
already hating it.

Annie was easy.

And there she is, wearing my shirt.

I can't deal with her right now. Would
you guys cover for me?

You got it. Get lost, Mac.

she go?

I believe she said she had some sort of
situation that she needed to take care

of.

Well, did she say anything about me?
Because she was supposed to meet me so

could go shopping for the party, and she
completely ditched me.

Um, she's right over there.

Oh, yeah.

That must be the situation she was
talking about.

Right.

Great. She's finally asking him.

Will you guys stop staring?

You were making it so completely
obvious.

Like it isn't obvious already?

But if it's your party, you probably
won't have too much time to hang

out.

Well, actually, it's Robin's party, so I
probably will.

Robin? She's the moody one?

Well, she can also be really funny.

Funny, but in kind of a dark way, right?

She's one of my best friends.

Then she's okay with me.

And I don't care whose party it is. If
you're going to be there, I'll be there.

I'm so nervous.

I know.

You feel sick to your stomach, your
heart is beating too fast, and you think

that anything you say to him is going to
sound completely idiotic.

You are so lucky.

You know, I think having this party
during the day was a huge mistake.

If I had it at night, I could have faded
into the shadows.

Robin, stop it.

You look great.

Not that it even matters. I mean, half
the people I invited probably won't even

show up.

You know, I'm happy. I'm having a party
for people who don't even like me when I

can be walking the left bank.

Merci, Mom and Dad.

I hope you're reconnecting while I'm
disconnecting.

I hate my life.

What is your problem?

You're up, you're down, you're totally
out of control. It's really starting to

get on my nerve.

I'm just a really sensitive person.

No, you're a way overly dramatic person.

I mean, every little problem of yours
turns into a trauma to the tenth power.

Like I haven't totally listened to you
obsess about Hunter nonstop.

I don't obsess half as much as you do.
Let alone do a fraction of the

complaining. You even complain in your
sleep.

You know what? I'm really glad that I
put my house in jeopardy so you could

in on the guy that you like.

It was totally your idea.

I didn't hear you trying to stop me.

You know what? Have a good time, Alex.
You're on your own.

I won't stay in your way anymore.

Phil hasn't shown up, but I'm totally
worried about her.

Do you think you can go out and try and
find her or something?

Come on, Alex. The party's just started.

Why don't you go out and look for her
while Ray and I stay here and mind the

fort?

I can't leave.

Yeah? I wonder why.

Look, that's not it.

I'm going to get on the phone and call
everyone she knows.

Please, I know you guys can find her.
Help me out.

Thanks.

Hi, Dave. Thanks for coming.

Oh, very nice. Thank you.

What exactly did you want, Mr. Merrick?

I just wanted to talk to you, Dave. No
big deal.

Come on in. We can make some sandwiches.

Dave, someone has been leaving me
envelopes filled with classified plant

information. Information relating to GC
-161 that I really shouldn't have access

to.

Do you have any turkey?

I'm not saying I'm not grateful for the
information.

I'm just saying I'd like to know why the
person who's leaving it for me is doing

so. Some Dijon mustard, please.

Well, it's not me.

But maybe whoever's giving you the
information thinks you should have it.

But why?

It's not me.

But maybe they think you're a good
person.

Maybe they think you should know the
truth about what really goes on in the

plant.

You have access to the entire plant,
don't you?

Someone's got to clean this.

The restricted areas are the messiest.

How about some pickles?

Dave, I'll be blunt.

I think you have been leaving me those
envelopes.

No, it's not me.

I could get in a lot of trouble if I did
that. I wouldn't tell a soul. I

promise.

Well, if Robin stops by, or if you see
her or something, could you please tell

her to come back?

Or at least call.

Okay.

Bye.

Hey, Alex, you've been on the phone all
afternoon.

I know. I'm sorry.

Hey, Sean, this is Alex.

You haven't seen Robin, have you?

Well, thanks for coming, Dave. I
understand that this is a delicate

and I understand that I may have made
you uncomfortable.

I apologize if I did.

Mr. Mack?

George.

George?

Like I said five times, I don't know
anything about those envelopes.

But there is something I do know.

A few years ago, I had an accident
driving a truckload of GC -161 to a

storage facility outside Winding Oaks. I
remember.

There was a rumor going around that you
may have hit a child.

That was no rumor.

I did hit a kid.

Not with the truck, but with a chemical.

The kid ran off, and for years, Danielle
has been looking for him.

That's what Vince's job was. And I had
been working with them for a while,

thinking they wanted to help the kid,
but they didn't.

They wanted him eliminated.

You're not serious.

I am.

The kid was totally drenched in GC -161
from head to toe.

I don't think they're looking for him
anymore.

But I do know that if they ever found
out who it was, that kid would be in

serious danger.

If a kid was hit with that much of the
chemical, he may already be in serious

danger. But you have no idea who the kid
is?

No.

I didn't get a good look.

But I thought you should know about
that.

And that's all I'm going to say.

Thanks for lunch.

Nope. We went to the mall. We went to
the park. We even walked around the

neighborhood. No one's seen it.

I see you haven't made much progress.

You guys better just hang here. I'll go
try and find her.

Don't let anyone trash the house. When
she comes back, keep her here.

I can't even believe she would say that.
If anyone's going to trash the house,

it'll be me.

Party over yet?

No, the party's packed.

I was worried about you.

You left the party to find me?

Is Hunter there?

Yeah, so what?

Look, I'm sorry about what happened,
Alex.

It's just that sometimes I feel so weird
about being me.

Like I'm the one who didn't get the
manual explaining how you're supposed to

and look and feel all the time.

Everyone feels like that once in a
while.

But why do you have to get so down on
yourself all the time?

You know, you're smart, you're funny,
you're really pretty too.

You're like the totally unique person.

You really think so?

Robin, you know you are. You don't need
me to tell you.

So there's not anyone else exactly like
you. That's a good thing.

Yeah, I wouldn't want more than one of
me around.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

What you just said, I mean, it's kind of
funny.

But in another way, it really wasn't.

It's like the more you put yourself
down, the more others think you should

put down. You know?

You're only hurting yourself, and I hate
that.

All I know is, when you want to be,
you're a really awesome friend and a

person.

See you around, Cobar.

Take it easy, man.

Finally, you guys missed a great party.
Yeah, typical me. I finally threw a good

party and I'm not even here to enjoy it.

You guys couldn't even offer to clean
up?

Well, Hunter seems to be doing okay on
his own.

You're still here?

I thought I'd help out.

Why don't you guys go ahead? We'll get
the rest.

No, we won't.

Are you sure?

It's such a mess.

I'm sure.

Go ahead. I'll see you at home.

Thanks.

Great.

So, once again, we didn't get to hang
out for too long.

Yeah, I know. Things didn't exactly work
out like... Like I'd planned.

Oh. You had planned?

You didn't?

No, I didn't.

Yeah, right.

Thank you.
