[ Indistinct whispering ]
[ Meows ]
[ Hisses ]
Heatblast: people are trying
To sleep, guy.
[ Yawns ]
Couldn't you have waited until
Tomorrow to go on a rampage?
Uh, this is the part where you
Tell me your name, what your
Evil intentions are, yada yada.
You know, you fight me, I fight
You, one of us goes home happy.
You have done this before,
Right?
Okay, I'll start.
I'm heatblast!
And you were just leaving.
[ Grunts ]
[ Grunting ] what...is...this?
Oops.
[ Siren wailing ]
All right, nobody move.
Heatblast: I got this under
Control, officers.
[ Roaring ]
Heatblast: oh, you got to be
Kidding me.
There's too many of them!
Heatblast: okay, maybe I
Don't have it under control.
Come on, now.
Don't be shy.
That was awesome.
Okay, light-bulb head, let's
Rumble.
Uh, that was too easy.
What happened?
Where'd they go?
[ Indistinct chatter over police
Radio ]
[ Electricity crackles ]
[ Grunts ]
Man, that was weird.
[ Beeping ]
Gwen: way to go, ben.
You just torched the whole town.
Ben: um, oops.
Max: are you okay?
Ben: I'm fine.
The guy I was fighting isn't,
Though.
Gwen: you were supposed to
Wait for grandpa and me before
You went alien, remember?
Ben: well, considering how
Long it takes you to get
Ready.
Max: now, that's enough.
We got to clear out of here
Before the sheriff shows up.
Besides, gwen was right, ben.
You should have waited.
Ben: you guys, there were
Some other uglies with him.
Maybe I should go hero again so
I can search for them.
Max: no, you and the omnitrix
Are done for tonight.
I got to get you back into bed
Before your parents wake up.
Besides, you got school
Tomorrow.
Ben: oh, man!

[ Indistinct conversations ]
Hey, tennyson, slow it down.
Ben: uh...
[ Bell rings ]
Oh, yeah, it's true.
I mean, that's what I heard.
No, you're wrong.
My mom said it was heatblast
That, like, totally fried the
Town.
Heatblast? The superhero?
In bellwood?
No way.
Ben: actually, I heard it was
Heatblast, too.
He's pretty cool, isn't he?
[ Scoffs ]
[ Scoffs ]
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
Ben: aah!
Gwen: ben, come on.
These are for the yearbook.
Ben: which one of these poses
Will go best on a poster when
I'm famous?
Gwen: famous?
For what exactly?
Ben: what do you mean?
I spent the entire summer
Fighting aliens.
Gwen: correction -- we spent
An entire summer fighting
Aliens -- you, me, and grandpa.
Ben: all right, I'll make
Room on the poster.
Oh, hey, coz, can I borrow your
Notes for that lincoln quiz in
Harrison's class?
Gwen: we're not on a mission,
Ben.
I don't have to take care of you
At school.
Ben: take care of me?
Uh, question -- who saved the
Entire town from the big, bad
Dude last night?
Answer?
Gwen: heatblast.
Sorry, coz, but back at home,
You're not a hero.
You're just plain, old
Ben tennyson.
And those aliens you turn into
Can't help you here.
Tootles.
Ben: yeah, well, I don't need
Your stupid notes.
I got this school wired.
Whoo-hoo!
Got a "d."
Ben: "d."
Oh, man!
Bring it on!
You're not getting one over on
Ben tennyson.
Go!
Ben: [ grunting ]
Ow!
Oh, man!
Oh, man!
Cash: you know, I think
You're supposed to chew the gum,
Tennyson, not wear it.
Just consider it a little...
Welcome-back present from us,
Loser.
Ben: clean it up.
Cash: make us!
J.t.: [ Chuckles ]
Good one, cash.
Yeah, what he said.
Cash: can it, j.t.
J.t.: Right, cool.
Cash: so, what are you gonna
Do about it, tennyson?
Ed: [ sighs ]
Cash: no way.
You didn't just -- [ laughs ]
Ed: tennyson.
Ben: oh, man!
It was an accident.
I was having a really bad day.
Sandra: and we understand
That, benny.
No one here wants you to bottle
Your feelings.
Carl: no, no, way too many
Emotional volcanoes in this
World already.
Sandra: but you could have
Blinded principal white.
Ben: mom, dad, it was just
Gum.
Sandra: okay, ben, it's
Sandra and carl, okay?
We're all equals in this house.
Ben: I'd rather call you mom.
Carl: what sandra is trying
To say is that you need to find
A better outlet than v*olence.
It's choices, ben.
Did you put sage in this hummus?
Sandra: found it growing wild
In the backyard.
Carl: yeah.
Sandra: [ laughs ]
Ben: can I go now?
I want to go see grandpa.
Carl: oh.
Ben: what?
Carl: well, we were kind of
Hoping that you'd be finding
Friends your own age to play
With.
Ben: kids my own age are
Boring.
Grandpa's fun.
Sandra: well, sweetie, you
Know, when we let you go on that
Road trip with carl's father
This summer, it was because it's
Important to us that you feel
Independent.
Carl: right, life
Experiences -- they define us.
And I know that grandpa max's
Stories are very exciting, but
They're not real life.
Sandra: why would you want to
Hang out in that smelly, old
Trailer of his anyway?
Ben: it's called the
Rust bucket, and it's a motor
Home.
Sandra: you do realize the
Pollution that thing puts out.
Where are you going?
Ben: to see grandpa.
Sandra: but --
Carl: no!
He made a choice, sandra.
We have to respect that.
Sandra: oh.
Max: there we go.
Thing of beauty.
Oh.
Think this thing needs a little
More work.
Ben: where are your keys?
Max: ben...
Why do you need my keys?
Ben: because we're leaving.
I gave school a try.
It didn't work.
Time to hunt down some aliens.
Come on, grandpa.
If we go now, we can miss all
The traffic.
Max: you want some squirrel
Jerky?
Calms the nerves.
Ben: I just ate.
Max: so...
You gonna tell me what happened
Before we leave?
Ben: the kids at school, mom,
Dad, heck, the whole town has no
Clue who I am ever since I found
This on the road trip.
Max: well, that's good.
They're not supposed to.
Ben: what's the point in
Having the omnitrix if I can't
Use it?
Max: so, you think they'll
Like you better if they know
You're a hero?
Ben: well, yeah.
Max: eh, you might be right.
Ben: so, I can tell them?
Max: nope.
No, that was summer, and it's
Over.
We're home now.
Ben tennyson's got to be
Ben tennyson again.
It's your responsibility as a
Kid and as a hero with a secret.
So, make an effort at school.
Jump in there with both feet,
Huh?
Just be a kid again, benjamin.
That's an order.
[ Snarling ]
Eon: did you find it?
No, of course you did not.
This place is already dying for
Me.
Remember, it's fading, stolen
Away.
Don't! Please!
Eon: let him die!
You are here to serve me, not
Each other.
Or would you rather I put you
Back in your cold cages?
[ Snarling ]
My journey here is nearly
Complete.
At last, my great race will rise
From its dark sleep.
And this time, nothing shall
Thwart me...
Once benjamin tennyson's dead.
No, no, it's like this.
All: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
Ben: "jump on in with both
Feet.
Just be a kid."
Can't be any harder than taking
Down aliens.
[ Sighs ]
I hope.
Hi.
You have to st--
Ben: I'd like to be in the
Talent show.
Hmm, what's your thing?
Hello? What do you do?
Ben: oh, w-well, I'm pretty
Awesome at...
Couldn't you just give me
Something?
This is a talent show, not a
Talent sale.
[ Both laugh ]
Ben: all right, I'll show you
What I can do.
What kind of lame watch is
That?
Gwen: ben, put that away.
You know that trick isn't ready
Yet.
Ben: trick?
Gwen: sure, for our magic
Act.
You know, the one that we
Performed all over the country
This summer?
[ Chuckles ]
What would he do without me to
Remind him?
You two are magicians?
Gwen: oh, yeah, we're famous.
When people hear that the, uh,
Amazing gwendini and her
Assistant are performing,
They're gonna pack this place.
Ben: assistant?
Gwen: work with me.
Well, we don't have a magic
Act.
Gwen: you do now.
Better keep practicing.
[ Sighs ]
Back to the line.
Ben: since when do we have an
Act?
Gwen: since about 10 seconds
Ago.
Ben: great.
Boy, I love just being a kid.

Doris: haven't seen you in a
While, ben.
Ben: I was gone over the
Summer, mrs. Dalton.
Doris: do anything fun?
Ben: nah, just rode around
With my cousin and grandpa.
Doris: you tell max I said
Hello.
And tell him my toilets haven't
Worked the same since he stopped
Fixing them.
What can I get for you?
Ben: something that isn't
Vegetarian or have squirrel in
It.
Doris: [ laughs ]
Coming right up.
Ben: bellwood.
Blah.
Might as well be in the null
Void.
At least it would be more
Interesting.
Doris: this ought to start
You off nicely.
See you in a bit, hon.
Ben: um, can I see that?
I don't know.
Can you?
[ Laughs ]
Ben: "are there aliens among
Us?"
Yeah, but I'm not allowed to
Tell anyone.
Cash: talking to yourself
Again, tennyson?
Whoa, who's that -- your new
Girlfriend?
Ben: I dare you to say that
To wildmutt's face.
Cash: yeah, and you're gonna
Pull wildmutt out of your butt
Or something, right?
J.t.: "Butt" -- that was
Good, cash.
Cash: can it, j.t.
J.t.: Sorry, man.
Ben: no, not out of my butt.
Cash: [ laughs ]
Lame-son.
J.t.: Lame-son.
That was so good, dude.
Hey, it's the little
Magician's assistant.
Thinking up some fresh, new
Tricks?
[ Both laugh ]
[ Whispering indistinctly ]
Ben: forget what grandpa
Says.
It's payback time.
[ Beeping ]
Fourarms should settle this up.
[ Beeping ]
Fourarms should settle this up.
Grey matter: oh, man!
Hmm.
Maybe I can work with this.
Hyah!
[ Indistinct conversations ]
[ Grunting ]
Cash: hey, watch this, okay?
Grey matter: hey!
That is so immature!
Grey matter: j.t. And cash
Are gonna get theirs.
Pastry projectiles, meat-filled
Torpedoes -- stain the clothes,
Dirty face.
Hmm, awesome!
[ Laughs ]
Yah!
Yah!
[ Chattering ]
[ Grunting ]
J.t.: What happened, cash?
Cash: I don't know.
All the lights just went out.
Grey matter: let's see what
We have here.
Red to blue, blue to red.
Food goes flying on your head.
Oh, there we go.
Liquid attack mode.
[ Chattering ]
[ Laughs ]
There we go.
And all systems are...
Hyah!
Cash: power outage?
Grey matter: here we go.
Yah!
[ Laughs maniacally ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Doris: what in the...
Oh!
Doris, more coffee, please.
Grey matter: [ laughs ]
That was awesome.
J.t.: I don't feel good,
Dude.
Cash: can it, j.t.!
Cash: all right.
J.t.: Come on, dude.
Ben: boo!
Gwen: [ gasps ]
Ben: you totally just
Screamed like a girl.
Gwen: 'cause I am a girl.
Ben: aah! Unh!
Gwen: you totally just
Screamed like a boy.
Ben: ugh!
Ben: what are you doing?
Gwen: just downloading some
Yearbook photos.
Ben: photos?
Did you take any of me?
Gwen: ben, move!
Ben: this picture's terrible.
It's all blurry.
Gwen: it's not blurry.
Let me see.
[ Beeping ]
[ Sighs ]
Whoa.
What is that?
Ben: can you focus it?
Gwen: not on this software.
Hold on.
Ben: sweet.
You actually look like you know
What you're doing.
Gwen: I do know what I'm
Doing.
Oh, who is that?
Ben: no way.
That's the alien dude I turned
Into a fireworks display.
At least, I thought I did.
Gwen: ben, if he's in this
Picture, he's not only not dead,
He knows who you are.
Why would he fight you and then
Pretend to die?
Ben: maybe he wanted to know
How good I was.
Gwen: what do you mean, like
Research?
Ben: is that so crazy?
I'm pretty amazing.
Gwen: "amazing" isn't exactly
The word I'd use.
Max: what are you two doing
In here?
Ben: grandpa, uh, what's in
Your hand?
Max: that's octopus.
It's good for your teeth.
Gwen: do you know this
Creepoid?
Max: there isn't a plumber
Alive who doesn't.
His name is eon of kronia.
Ben: you mean, you fixed this
Guy's toilet?
Gwen: not those plumbers.
The plumbers.
The secret ones who won aliens.
Grandpa used to work for them.
Ben: oh, those plumbers.
I knew that.
Max: eon was the beginning.
He was the first alien captured
Nearly two centuries ago by the
Original plumbers.
According to the archival
Material, he was half dead and
Was carrying with him a device
Called the hands of armageddon.
Gwen: what was it?
Max: it took us many years to
Find out.
The hands of armageddon is a
Doomsday machine, capable of
Opening a gateway into our
Dimension, signaling the start
Of an alien invasion that would
Mark the end of humankind.
Eon was the beginning.
He's brought with him our end.
You two pack your things.
We're going on a road trip.
Ben: yeah! Yes!
Gwen: where are we?
This is like no place.
Ben: yeah, well, it's better
Than our place.
Ben tennyson, hero, is back.
Gwen: ben tennyson, hero,
Stinks.
You wore that shirt all summer.
Didn't you ever wash it?
Ben: are you kidding?
This is my lucky shirt.
Why would I do that?
Max: I still can't raise
Anybody.
[ Ringing ]
We'll be there soon enough.
[ Ringing ]
We'll be there soon enough.
[ Beeps ]
[ Beeps ]
Dad burn it.
Got to be one of these.
[ Beeps ]
I knew that.
[ Off-hook signal sounds ]
The chem lab was built to
Conduct tests on alien
Life-forms and technologies.
We kept eon here, locked down in
Deep freeze, a highly guarded
Secret, even from the plumbers
Themselves.
Ben: it sure is quiet.
Is anything even here anymore?
Gwen: this eon guy's supposed
To be.
Max: "supposed to be" is
Right, gwen.
Ben: oh, cool!
Gwen: yeah, like freezing
Cool.
Max: we've got to find
Constantine jacobs.
Come on.
Ben: who?
Max: he's the plumber in
Charge of eon.
[ Electricity sparking ]
Ben: grandpa?
Max: jacobs?
Gwen: gross.
Max: I'm sorry, constantine.
I wish we could have got here
Sooner.
Aah! I'm not dead!
Both: [ screaming ]
Max: constantine, can you
Hear me?
Eon.
Max: I know.
Just hang on.
We're gonna get help for you.
Too late.
Eon did this -- made me old in
The blink of an eye.
[ Coughing ]
He's after the hands.
Can't let him find the hardware
Store or the rest of the
Plumbers.
Ben: grandpa, you said the
Plumbers disbanded.
Max: we kept a handful active
To watch over our things --
Dangerous things, none more so
Than the hands.
We never planned for this.
You're the one...
The boy who found the omnitrix.
Eon knows about you.
Ben: how could he know about
Me?
I've never seen him before the
Other night.
He knows.
He knows.
Good luck, my son.
You'll need it.
[ Groaning ]
Max: he was a good friend and
A true plumber.
Ben: what did he mean, "he
Knows"?
Max: I couldn't say.
That's why I keep telling you,
Ben, to be careful.
This is not a game.
Ben: well, I guess this
Means we won't be going back to
School.
Gwen: here we go.
Ben: come on.
Am I wrong?
We got to find this eon dude and
The hands of...whatever.
Gwen: armageddon?
It means "the end of the world."
Ben: I know that...now.
I think we should start with
This supersecret hideout code
Named "the hardware store."
I bet it's in some awesome
Location, totally surrounded and
Hidden by traps.
Am I right?
Max: yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now get in.
Gwen: this doesn't look like
A supersecret location.
Ben: miller's hardware in
Bellwood?
A regular hardware store?
Is this a joke?
This is a joke.
Ha ha.
Not funny.
Max: all right, come on.
Ben: grandpa, I've been in
This store a hundred times.
Max: good.
Then you should know where
Everything is.
Counterclockwise -- 1, 2, 3.
It's impolite not to flush.
[ Toilet flushes ]
Ben: what -- where did that
Come from?
Max: thought you said you'd
Been here before.
Come on.
[ Beeps ]
[ Growling ]
[ Elevator music plays ]
Ben: [ yawns ]
Gwen: how far down does this
Thing go?
Max: how about some cricket
Antenna?
Helps to pass the time.
[ Bell dings ]
Ben: I know that.
I've seen that sign all over
Bellwood.
Max: that's not surprising,
Since that's been the icon of
The plumbers for centuries.
Gwen: nice security.
Geometric scanners, delta-4
Emotion trackers -- sweet.
Max: what'd you think -- we
Were just gonna ring a doorbell?
[ Doorbell rings ]
Ben, gwen, I'd like you to meet
The last of the legendary
Plumbers.
Undoubtedly, you'll recognize
Some of them.
Ben: no way.
Gwen: mrs. Dalton?
Doris: that was sure some
Ice-cream party grey matter
Threw those kids.
Gwen: mr. Hawkins, the
Postman?
Good to see you, kids.
Ben: fire chief whittington?
You've been keeping me very
Busy, young man.
Ben: and principal white?
Ed: sorry about that
Detention the other day, ben.
Didn't want to blow my cover.
Ben: I'm officially confused.
Gwen: ditto.
Ed: let's move, people.
[ Beeping ]
Ben: so, why didn't you tell
Us?
Max: take us to the hands.
Ben: the hands?
You mean, it's here?
This has been under bellwood the
Whole time?
Gwen: no, they just put it in
Last week.
Gwen: no, they just put it in
Last week.
[ Beeping ]
Ben: so, bellwood -- all this
Was created to protect the hands
Of whatever?
Wow, guess bellwood isn't as
Boring as I thought it was.
[ Electricity crackling ]
Gwen: is that...
Max: the hands of armageddon.
Ben: why didn't you just
Destroy it?
Doris: we've tried, honey.
Over the years, we plumbers have
Thrown everything we got at it.
But the hands have a way of
Deflecting us.
Ed: first time we tried, the
Force of energy accidentally
Created the grand canyon.
Or so they say.
One of the next times started
The chicago fire.
Mrs. O'leary's cow?
That was a cover story.
And I personally kicked off the
Great quake of '89.
That was a rocky afternoon, let
Me tell you.
Max: we devoted our lives to
Making sure the hands never were
Used for their original purpose.
Ed: but it's been some years
Since we last had to fight eon
Off the darn thing.
Doris: we're too old and too
Few now.
Ben: sounds like you need
Someone to save the world -- a
Hero...like me.
A hero like me.
It is me you're talking about,
Right?
'Cause if it is, you got no
Problems.
I'm ready.
I won't let you guys down.
Of course, I probably should be
Excused from doing any homework.
Gwen: ben, this is serious.
[ Beeps ]
Security breach, sector five.
They're inside.
[ Alarm blares ]
3-4.
Max: weapons.
Doris: hurry up, ed.
Hurry up, ed!
Ed: my memory is not what it
Used to be.
Doris: get out of the way,
Ed!
Ed: this is it.
I kept the little ring on it so
I'd recognize it.
It's this one.
Let's do this!
Ben: come on!
[ Growling ]
Are you all right?
Ben: fine.
Ed: I'll have to buy another
Lock tomorrow, you know.
Doris: are you kidding me?
Keep firing, ed.
Ed: if I get a combination
One, I won't have to remember
What key it is.
Look out!
Eon: after so long...
[ Inhales, exhales deeply ]
As I feared...
Nothing.
Gwen: don't just stand there.
Go hero.
Ben: sure, now you want me
To.
Eon: [ gasps ]
Ben: ah! Let me go!
[ Grunting ]
What are you doing?
Eon: rescuing you.
Ben: aah!
[ Electricity crackling ]
Come on!
Eon: there is nowhere you can
Run.
Benjamin?
Ben: help!
[ Engine turns over ]
Oh, great.
[ Tires screech ]
[ Tires screech ]
[ Horn honks ]
[ Tires screech ]
[ Horn honks ]
Help! Somebody!
Help! Somebody, help!
This thing!
[ Beeps ]
Eon: no one can help you,
Benjamin.
What is about to happen here is
Inevitable.
Ben: y-you died.
I saw you burn up.
Eon: in the world where I
Came from, my people have the
Ability to manipulate time at
Its base level.
By distorting the molecules
Around my form, it was a simple
Matter to create the illusion
That I wanted you to see.
A cheap parlor trick, really,
But sufficient to assess your
Powers.
Ben: why don't you go back to
Your own world, where someone
Cares what you think?
Eon: sadly, I can't do
That -- not without your help.
You see, I am a prisoner of
Time, as is my race.
But not for long.
Ben: I won't let you have the
Omnitrix.
Eon: you don't have a choice.
Neither of us do.
Go on, get, you ugly june
Bug.
Ben: you?
You're a plumber, too?
Of course I am.
Don't you know a disguise when
You see one?
Ben: that's a disguise?
No.
Ha, gotcha!
Now, hustle yourself home before
He gets back.
I'll clean up this mess here.
Tell you the truth, this is the
Most fun I've had in years.
Ha ha!
[ Chuckles ]
[ Ticking ]
[ Door opens ]
[ Clock chimes ]
Carl: ben?
Did we do something to hurt your
Feelings?
Ben: what?
Sandra: we want you to feel
Free to have a dialogue with us,
Ben.
Ben: m-mom --
Sandra: sandra.
Ben: what are you guys
Talking about?
Carl: you didn't come home
For dinner, and you didn't call.
Sandra: no, no.
Not that we want to constrict
You.
Carl: no, no.
Freedom is precious.
I've always said that.
Ben: n-no, it wasn't you
Guys.
I was with gwen.
We were practicing for the
School talent show.
Sandra: talent show?!
Carl: [ laughs ]
Why didn't you tell us that?
That's great!
Now you can show all those kids
How talented the tennysons are,
Huh?
Sandra: oh, carl, honey, we
Should get him some tape from
Our experimental theater days --
Carl: oh, no, we shouldn't.
Sandra: your father was so --
I mean, we did mime.
We did mask work.
Ben: I'm gonna get to bed.
Sandra: okay, honey.
Carl: don't show those tapes.
Good night, ben.
Ben: grandpa.
Max: I saw you come in.
Edward radioed the plumbers
About what happened with eon.
I'm just glad you're all right.
Ben: is gwen okay?
Max: she's fine.
The plumbers took a hit, but at
Least we now know what we're
Dealing with.
Ben: grandpa, right before
Eon grabbed me, the omnitrix --
It started to glow and burn.
Then when he ungrabbed it, it
Stopped working.
Max: it did?
It looks fine now.
Ben: it's not the first time
It's glowed like that.
Eon said that what was happening
Was inevitable and that I was a
Part of it.
Max: ben, the plumbers are
Afraid that eon might need the
Omnitrix to power the hands of
Armageddon.
That might explain why he went
After you and left the hands
Behind.
We want to get you away from the
Town.
I-it's for your own safety.
Ben: what?
N-no, I'm not running away.
Max: now, you can't look at
It that way.
Ben: if eon wants the
Omnitrix, he's gonna find me.
It doesn't matter where I go.
Max: ben?
Ben: you and the plumbers
Said that it's up to me now to
Protect the town.
So, let me.
Let eon come and find me here in
Bellwood, and when he does,
We'll get him together.
I can do this, grandpa.
I know I can.
Max: okay, but there's gonna
Be a plumber watching you around
The clock.
Ben: I don't need a
Babysitter.
Max: then we don't have a
Deal.
Ben: fine.
Fine, I'll have a babysitter.
Max: good.
Now it's bedtime for you.
Ben: [ sighs ]
Max: you know, ben, I didn't
Want this life for you.
I shielded your father from it
And your grandma before she
Passed.
Most people never see what goes
On behind the curtain.
You never had that choice.
But I won't let anything hurt
You, ben.
Ben: good, 'cause I'll never
Let anything hurt you, grandpa.
Max: [ chuckles ]
Hey, kelly, come on!
Cash: what's crackin',
Lame-son?
[ Laughs ]
Hurry up!
We're gonna be late!
Gwen: boo!
Gotcha!
Any sign of eon?
Ben: are you kidding?
Grandpa's got half the plumbers
In town watching.
Look at this.
There's mr. Ingalls, the
Facility guy, mr. Jennings from
The phone company.
Heck, we even got
Old lady carlysle and her
Plants.
Eon's not stupid.
There's no way he's gonna show.
Gwen: well, that'll give us
Some time to practice.
Ben: what's this stuff?
Gwen: magic tricks for the
Talent show.
I bought a kit at the toy
Emporium.
Don't worry, I'll handle the
Actual magic.
You can just stand there and
Give me stuff.
Ben: gee, that sounds like
Something an assistant does.
Girls are assistants.
Gwen: times have changed,
Coz.
Don't worry, you'll look great
In a leotard.
Ben: what's the point,
Anyways?
If I don't stop eon, fitting in
At school really isn't gonna
Matter anymore, is it?
[ Sighs ]
Ed: hello, ben.
Ben: [ gasps ]
Ed: sorry.
Didn't mean to scare you.
I saw you came in, wanted to
Make sure you, uh, were okay.
Ben: yeah, I'm fine.
Ed: must be strange for you,
Talking to me now that you know
I'm a plumber, isn't it?
Ben: well, yeah, it really
Is.
I mean, you're principal white,
The weird, creepy guy no one
Likes.
I didn't mean the weird creep--
Ed: oh, no need to explain.
Well...
You coming back out?
Ben: no, I just -- I'm just
Gonna stay alone for a little
Bit.
Ed: right, I understand.
If you ever need me or any of
The other plumbers --
Ben: you'll be watching.
Got it.
[ Sighs ]
Ed: [ slow motion ] just one
More thing...
[ Talking backwards ]
Aah!
Ben: aah!
[ Electricity crackling ]
Eon: with all those plumbers
Around, I was beginning to think
We would never have a moment
Alone.
Now, benjamin, I want to show
You your future.
[ Alarm ringing ]
Diamondhead: [ grunts ]
Gym class is in session.
Today, we play pummel the creepy
Alien dude.
Today, we play pummel the creepy
Alien dude.
Here, catch.
Right back at you.
Eon: [ chuckles evilly ]
[ Growls ]
Diamondhead: come on, let's
Settle this thing once and for
All.
Eon: when an alarm sounds,
The entire school gathers in the
Courtyard through which room,
Benjamin?
Diamondhead: oh, man.
Give me a break.
Huh?
Great, just where I wanted to
Spend fifth period.
Gwen: ben, wait up.
What happened?
Ben: he found me, that's what
Happened.
If eon says he wants me alone,
That's what he'll get.
Gwen: ben!
[ Thunder rumbling ]
Gwen: on a scale of 1 to 10,
10 Being the stupidest thing
You've ever done, this is a 15.
Ben: no one's making you
Stay.
Gwen: if eon knows you're
Being watched by plumbers, don't
You think he's gonna know you're
Setting a trap for him?
Ben: I don't care.
When he shows up this time, I'm
Going to be ready.
Bellwood is my town, mom, dad,
And grandpa's town.
Gwen: I live here, too.
Ben: I'm not gonna let him
thr*aten our home.
It's up to me, gwen.
Don't you get that?
Gwen: yeah, I get it, but I
Don't like it.
Ben: [ sighs ]
What was that?
Gwen: is it him?
Ben: I can't tell.
Ben: this is it.
Max: ben?
Ben: [ gasps ]
Grandpa!
How did you know we were here?
Max: it's the only place in
Bellwood I hadn't checked.
Gwen: it was his idea.
He was trying to set a trap for
Eon.
Ben: traitor.
Max: do you know how
Dangerous -- how foolish this
Is?
Ben: grandpa, I can do this.
I'm ready.
Max: ben, did you ever stop
To think that getting you alone
Is precisely what eon wants?
Now, come on.
Both: [ gasp ]
All: [ growling ]
Ben: [ grunting ]
What have I done?
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Grandpa?
Grandpa?
Max: we're here, ben.
We're all right.
Eon: I hope you don't mind
That I brought them along to
Watch.
Max: eon, let the children
Go.
You can have the omnitrix.
Max: ow.
Oh, think you knocked that loose
Crown back into place.
Saved me a dentist's bill.
Ben: stop it!
Leave him alone!
Eon: have you ever wondered
Why the omnitrix only allows you
To change for 10 minutes at a
Time?
Ben: sure.
Unfortunately, I lost the
Instruction manual.
Eon: it's a fail-safe so that
The dna of the alien life-forms
Trapped within the omnitrix
Don't overwhelm you when they
Take you over...
A fail-safe that can be easily
Overridden if one knows the
Omnitrix as intimately as I do.
I came here on a desperate
Mission to rescue my people.
Ben: yeah, rescue them by
Taking over our world.
Eon: we were a gilded race
Of warriors.
We'd mastered the elements --
Gods who grew too strong and
Destroyed ourselves.
With the hands of armageddon, we
Could be reborn on earth, but in
Order to do that, I needed to
Find you.
Ben: what are you talking
About?
Eon: you kept this secret
Even from your own blood.
You are the reason I came back
Two centuries ago and again
Countless times.
My body grew weaker and weaker
With each leap through time.
I was looking for you, benjamin,
The boy with the omnitrix.
Ben: you knew?
Max: we hoped you'd never
Find out, that this day would
Never come.
Ben: why me?
Eon: ah.
It's my dna that will be
Released from the omnitrix.
I am the alien life-form that
Will soon overwhelm you.
You are me, benjamin.
Ben: no, you're lying!
Eon: my time is almost over.
But I will be reborn in you and
Have great strength and power at
The hands of armageddon and open
A time rift to my dying world,
Bringing an end to yours.
You will no longer be a simple,
Helpless child, but a god -- not
For mere moments, but for an
Eternity.
Gwen: don't you touch him,
You freak!
Ben, don't worry, we're gonna
Get you free.
[ Beeps ]
Ben: please, don't.
Gwen: no!
Max: ben!
Eon: thank you, benjamin.
Your sacrifice will not be
Forgotten.
Two cannot exist in one world.
Gwen: ben, are you in there?
Ben!
Eon: sorry to disappoint you.
Such power...
Trapped...
Held sl*ve by a child.
No longer.
I am free!
At last, time for my people to
Wake and meet their new world.
At last, time for my people to
Wake and meet their new world.
At last, time for my people to
Wake and meet their new world.
At last, time for my people to
Wake and meet their new world.
[ Electricity crackling ]
Sandra: excuse me.
Don't get up.
Carl: I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Sandra: I'm very limber.
Carl: she's very excited.
It's okay.
It's good to be excited.
Sandra: excuse me.
I'm sorry.
[ Squeals ]
Carl: our son's -- probably
Yours, too.
Sandra: here, sit -- ooh,
Gosh.
Oh, gosh, okay.
I didn't see ben before we left.
I made him a lucky hemp
Bracelet.
Carl: I'm sure they're just
Working out some last-minute bit
Of prestidigitation, okay?
And remember not to bathe him
Too much with affection in front
Of his friends.
We want him to know that we
Respect him as a peer.
Sandra: yes.
Max: gwen...
If you step up on that block
Behind you, you think you can
Put your foot on my back pocket,
Push out my wrench?
Gwen: I don't know. Maybe.
Max: well, give it a try.
Thatagirl.
Good. Good.
Okay.
Now, see if you can kick open
The top of the wrench.
One more time.
Good.
Okay, I want you to hide.
I have to shut down the hands
Before the time rift becomes
Unstoppable.
Gwen: what about ben?
Max: don't worry, we'll get
Him back, okay?
Sorry about this, ben.
Please don't tell your parents.
[ Electricity crackling ]
Doris: [ groaning ]
It's so hot.
Ed: miss me?
Doris: oh, yes!
Open the door.
Doris: open the door.
Hurry up and open the door.
Ed: you guys are lost without
Me.
Doris: hurry up, open the
Door.
Hot.
No, ed.
Doris: over there.
Ed: okay, okay, I remember
It's -- it's --
Doris: over there!
Over there!
On the wall.
Doris: yeah.
Ed: ah.
[ Buzzer ]
That was easy.
Doris: good lord, really, ed.
Could you have taken any longer
To get here?
Ed: sorry, doris.
Woke up in the school infirmary.
Darn nurse wouldn't let me out
Of there.
Least I brought these.
Doris: oh.
Now, that's what I'm talking
About.
[ Chuckles ]
All right.
Got that one?
Doris: let's get plumbing.
[ Electricity crackling ]
Max: okay, one is negative,
And one's positive.
But which one?
Darn it, max, don't blow up your
Own hometown.
Darn it, max, don't blow up your
Own hometown.
Gwen: grandpa!
Ben!
Ben tennyson, you stupid idiot,
Grandpa's in trouble!
Guess I got your attention, huh?
I'm not afraid of you, you hear
Me?
I'm not afraid, 'cause inside I
Know you're still my cousin...
Aah!
...the same cousin that's lame
At sports and cried when I
Pinned him when we were 5...
And who won't wear colored socks
'Cause he thinks they're gonna
Color his feet.
And even though most of the
Time, I'm afraid that if people
Find out we're related, they'll
Think I inherited your stupid
Gene, but you're still my
Ferret-faced, hammer-headed
Cousin.
And I love you, ben tennyson,
'Cause you're a hero.
And you've never given up on
Anything in your life.
Eon: lovely speech.
Shame it will be your last.
This is the end for you,
Gwen tennyson.
Ed: no, but it's a permanent
Detention for you.
Eon: one against many.
It hardly seems fair.
All: [ growling ]
Gwen: ben, please, don't.
I know you're in there.
I need you!
Grandpa max needs you!
The world needs you!
Eon: [ grunting ]
Gwen: oh, my gosh, it's
Working.
I don't believe it.
Eon: aah! Aah!
Gwen: keep fighting, ben!
Aah!
Is it really you?
Eon: for the record, I never
Cried when you pinned me.
I had something in my eye.
Gwen: fine.
Well, I'm just glad you're you
Again.
If you ever tell anyone I said
The, you know, "l" word --
Eon: don't worry, your
Secret's safe.
Step back.
[ Groaning ]
Ben: I'm okay.
Did grandpa take care of the
Hands?
Gwen: ben...
Grandpa...
Ben: grandpa?
No!
Grandpa!
Max: I'm sorry, ben.
It was the only way.
You're free now.
Eon's gone.
Just know that everything I did
Was to protect you.
Ben: please, don't leave me.
I can't lose you now.
Max: you won't, ben.
Of all the things I've done in
My life, I'm the most proud of
You, my grandson.
I'll always be with you, ben.
Now get!
Ben: not without you!
I know who I am now, grandpa,
And I know it because of you.
You taught me!
But I'm not finished learning
Yet.
Max: I said "get," ben!
Ben: I need help!
Max: [ grunting ]
Hey.
[ Chuckles ]
Good job.
[ Chuckles ]
Good job.
Max: well, that wasn't too
Smart.
I didn't teach you that.
Ben: I know.
But since when have I ever
Listened to you?
Gwen: oh, my gosh, ben, we
Completely forgot about the
Talent show.
We're supposed to go on in less
Than 10 minutes.
Ben: grandpa, mom and dad --
I mean, sandra and carl are
Gonna freak if we don't show.
Ed: no problem.
We can take my car.
Don't worry, I'll drop you
Around back.
Nobody will see you with the
Principal.
Okay, car keys.
Ben: you know, even though
I'd never want to be eon again,
Think I could ever access those
Cool powers -- minus the
Body-snatching part?
Ed: [ slow motion ] found the
Key.
Eon: the answer to your
Question, benjamin, is no.
Those powers still belong to me!
Ben: the hands are gone, eon.
Your world is gone.
Eon: you could have been a
God!
Ben: aah!
Wildmutt: [ snarling ]
Eon: well done.
So, we'll play sh**ting ducks
Until your time runs out.
So, we'll play sh**ting ducks
Until your time runs out.
Wildmutt: [ screeches ]
Eon: [ groaning ]
No! It's not my time!
[ Glass shatters ]
Max: I hope nobody noticed
That.
Gwen: I don't feel so good.

[ Cheers and applause ]
For our final act tonight, we
Have -- ooh! -- Magicians.
Oh, I love magic.
Isn't it exciting?
[ Chuckles ]
So, let's put our hands together
For the great gwendini and her
Assistant!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Okay.
What's going on?
[ Laughing ] let me deal with
It.
Where are they?!
I don't know!
Do not yell at me!
It's not my fault!
No, it's your job!
Find them!
No, no, no, no.
I am supposed to be here, read
My lines, and then, if they show
Up, they show up.
Do not send me into a shame
Spiral!
What's going on?
They're gonna be here in a
Second.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Rumbling ]
What's that noise?
I'm sorry.
Wildmutt: [ snarling ]
Aah!
[ Audience gasps ]
Gwen: boy, I wish we'd gotten
Around to practicing.
Uh, hey.
How's everybody doing tonight?
Right on.
Well, I'm gwendini, and this is
Wildmutt.
He's an alien, not a big dog.
Common mistake.
Anyways, yeah, we're, uh -- what
Are we gonna do?
[ Beeping ]
We're gonna do something right
Now.
Ladies and gentlemen, the
Incredible transformation!
Wildmutt: [ roaring ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Carl: you rock!
Amazing!
Wow!
Sandra: bravo, ben!
Bravo!
Cash: so, I guess he really
Does know wildmutt.
J.t.: Maybe you shouldn't
Have made fun of him.
Better hope tennyson doesn't
Tell wildmutt you called him his
Girlfriend or you're toast.
Cash: can it, j.t.
Tennyson's cool.
He wouldn't do something like
That.
I'm so out of here, man.
J.t.: Wait for me, dude.
What a finish!
Well, it looks like the judges'
Decision is unanimous.
I don't think anyone is gonna be
Surprised by this.
The winner of tonight's talent
Show, first place, is...
The bellwood sassies!
All: [ screaming ]
Oh, great job, girls.
Great. Thank you.
Good for you. All right.
And in second place, no slouch,
The winner is the great gwendini
And her assistant!
Yeah! Gwen!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Congratulations.
Gwen: guess they did practice
More than us.
Ben: yeah, well, I'd like to
See the bellwood sassies stop an
Invading alien army from coming
Through a rift in space by
Detaining a time-traveling
Psycho.
Gwen: don't be a sore loser.
Sandra: oh, ben, what a
Divinely mystical experience --
You turning into you from that
Giant dog!
Cash: that's wildmutt,
Darling.
He's one of the heroes you read
About in the papers.
Ben: dad -- I mean, carl, you
Know about wildmutt?
Cash: you'd be surprised what
I know about, ben.
Max: how'd you do?
Ben: second place.
Max: oh, that's not bad.
That calls for a celebration on
Me.
It's not every day you get
Second place.
Ben: and save the world.
Max: come on.
Don't y'all wait up.
We got some pizza to devour.
Sandra: watch how much cheese
You eat, ben!
You know all that lactose makes
You gassy!
Carl: let the kid live a
Little bit, honey.
Eat all the cheese you want,
Ben!
[ Clock chimes ]
Max: well, what do you feel
Like -- cricket tongue on
Crackers or some spicy bug
Larva?
Both: ew!
Gwen: you said we were having
Pizza.
Max: I'm only kidding with
You.
I'll only put the larva on my
Half.
Both: ew!
Ben: I guess bellwood's
Getting back to normal.
Max: that it is.
Might be time to put the
Omnitrix away for a while, ben.
Gwen: at least wash that
Shirt.
It reeks.
Ben: I'm gonna miss it,
Though, having no aliens around.
Max: oh, I wouldn't worry
About that.
Aliens are a tenacious breed.
[ Meows ]
[ Hisses ]
Heatblast: people are trying
To sleep, guy.
[ Yawns ]
Couldn't you have waited until
Tomorrow to go on a rampage?
Uh, this is the part where you
Tell me your name, what your
Evil intentions are, yada yada.
You know, you fight me, I fight
You, one of us goes home happy.
You have done this before,
Right?
Okay, I'll start.
I'm heatblast!
And you were just leaving.
[ Grunts ]
[ Grunting ] what...is...this?
Oops.
[ Siren wailing ]
All right, nobody move.
Heatblast: I got this under
Control, officers.
[ Roaring ]
Heatblast: oh, you got to be
Kidding me.
There's too many of them!
Heatblast: okay, maybe I
Don't have it under control.
Come on, now.
Don't be shy.
That was awesome.
Okay, light-bulb head, let's
Rumble.
Uh, that was too easy.
What happened?
Where'd they go?
[ Indistinct chatter over police
Radio ]
[ Electricity crackles ]
[ Grunts ]
Man, that was weird.
[ Beeping ]
Gwen: way to go, ben.
You just torched the whole town.
Ben: um, oops.
Max: are you okay?
Ben: I'm fine.
The guy I was fighting isn't,
Though.
Gwen: you were supposed to
Wait for grandpa and me before
You went alien, remember?
Ben: well, considering how
Long it takes you to get
Ready.
Max: now, that's enough.
We got to clear out of here
Before the sheriff shows up.
Besides, gwen was right, ben.
You should have waited.
Ben: you guys, there were
Some other uglies with him.
Maybe I should go hero again so
I can search for them.
Max: no, you and the omnitrix
Are done for tonight.
I got to get you back into bed
Before your parents wake up.
Besides, you got school
Tomorrow.

[ Indistinct conversations ]
Hey, tennyson, slow it down.
Ben: uh...
[ Bell rings ]
Oh, yeah, it's true.
I mean, that's what I heard.
No, you're wrong.
My mom said it was heatblast
That, like, totally fried the
Town.
Heatblast? The superhero?
In bellwood?
No way.
Ben: actually, I heard it was
Heatblast, too.
He's pretty cool, isn't he?

[ Camera shutter clicking ]
Ben: aah!
Gwen: ben, come on.
These are for the yearbook.
Ben: which one of these poses
Will go best on a poster when
I'm famous?
Gwen: famous?
For what exactly?
Ben: what do you mean?
I spent the entire summer
Fighting aliens.
Gwen: correction -- we spent
An entire summer fighting
Aliens -- you, me, and grandpa.
Ben: all right, I'll make
Room on the poster.
Oh, hey, coz, can I borrow your
Notes for that lincoln quiz in
Harrison's class?
Gwen: we're not on a mission,
Ben.
I don't have to take care of you
At school.
Ben: take care of me?
Uh, question -- who saved the
Entire town from the big, bad
Dude last night?
Answer?
Gwen: heatblast.
Sorry, coz, but back at home,
You're not a hero.
You're just plain, old
Ben tennyson.
And those aliens you turn into
Can't help you here.
Tootles.
Ben: yeah, well, I don't need
Your stupid notes.
I got this school wired.
Whoo-hoo!
Got a "d."
Ben: "d."
Oh, man!
Bring it on!
You're not getting one over on
Ben tennyson.
Go!
Ben: [ grunting ]
Ow!
Oh, man!
Oh, man!
Cash: you know, I think
You're supposed to chew the gum,
Tennyson, not wear it.
Just consider it a little...
Welcome-back present from us,
Loser.
Ben: clean it up.
Cash: make us!
J.t.: [ Chuckles ]
Good one, cash.
Yeah, what he said.
Cash: can it, j.t.
J.t.: Right, cool.
Cash: so, what are you gonna
Do about it, tennyson?
Ed: [ sighs ]
Cash: no way.
You didn't just -- [ laughs ]
Ed: tennyson.
Ben: oh, man!
It was an accident.
I was having a really bad day.
Sandra: and we understand
That, benny.
No one here wants you to bottle
Your feelings.
Carl: no, no, way too many
Emotional volcanoes in this
World already.
Sandra: but you could have
Blinded principal white.
Ben: mom, dad, it was just
Gum.
Sandra: okay, ben, it's
Sandra and carl, okay?
We're all equals in this house.
Ben: I'd rather call you mom.
Carl: what sandra is trying
To say is that you need to find
A better outlet than v*olence.
It's choices, ben.
Did you put sage in this hummus?
Sandra: found it growing wild
In the backyard.
Carl: yeah.
Sandra: [ laughs ]
Ben: can I go now?
I want to go see grandpa.
Carl: oh.
Ben: what?
Carl: well, we were kind of
Hoping that you'd be finding
Friends your own age to play
With.
Ben: kids my own age are
Boring.
Grandpa's fun.
Sandra: well, sweetie, you
Know, when we let you go on that
Road trip with carl's father
This summer, it was because it's
Important to us that you feel
Independent.
Carl: right, life
Experiences -- they define us.
And I know that grandpa max's
Stories are very exciting, but
They're not real life.
Sandra: why would you want to
Hang out in that smelly, old
Trailer of his anyway?
Ben: it's called the
Rust bucket, and it's a motor
Home.
Sandra: you do realize the
Pollution that thing puts out.
Where are you going?
Ben: to see grandpa.
Sandra: but --
Carl: no!
He made a choice, sandra.
We have to respect that.
Sandra: oh.
Max: there we go.
Thing of beauty.
Oh.
Think this thing needs a little
More work.
Ben: where are your keys?
Max: ben...
Why do you need my keys?
Ben: because we're leaving.
I gave school a try.
It didn't work.
Time to hunt down some aliens.
Come on, grandpa.
If we go now, we can miss all
The traffic.
Max: you want some squirrel
Jerky?
Calms the nerves.
Ben: I just ate.
Max: so...
You gonna tell me what happened
Before we leave?
Ben: the kids at school, mom,
Dad, heck, the whole town has no
Clue who I am ever since I found
This on the road trip.
Max: well, that's good.
They're not supposed to.
Ben: what's the point in
Having the omnitrix if I can't
Use it?
Max: so, you think they'll
Like you better if they know
You're a hero?
Ben: well, yeah.
Max: eh, you might be right.
Ben: so, I can tell them?
Max: nope.
No, that was summer, and it's
Over.
We're home now.
Ben tennyson's got to be
Ben tennyson again.
It's your responsibility as a
Kid and as a hero with a secret.
So, make an effort at school.
Jump in there with both feet,
Huh?
Just be a kid again, benjamin.
That's an order.
[ Snarling ]
Eon: did you find it?
No, of course you did not.
This place is already dying for
Me.
Remember, it's fading, stolen
Away.
Don't! Please!
Eon: let him die!
You are here to serve me, not
Each other.
Or would you rather I put you
Back in your cold cages?
[ Snarling ]
My journey here is nearly
Complete.
At last, my great race will rise
From its dark sleep.
And this time, nothing shall
Thwart me...
Once benjamin tennyson's dead.
No, no, it's like this.
All: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
Ben: "jump on in with both
Feet.
Just be a kid."
Can't be any harder than taking
Down aliens.
[ Sighs ]
I hope.
Hi.
You have to st--
Ben: I'd like to be in the
Talent show.
Hmm, what's your thing?
Hello? What do you do?
Ben: oh, w-well, I'm pretty
Awesome at...
Couldn't you just give me
Something?
This is a talent show, not a
Talent sale.
[ Both laugh ]
Ben: all right, I'll show you
What I can do.
What kind of lame watch is
That?
Gwen: ben, put that away.
You know that trick isn't ready
Yet.
Ben: trick?
Gwen: sure, for our magic
Act.
You know, the one that we
Performed all over the country
This summer?
[ Chuckles ]
What would he do without me to
Remind him?
You two are magicians?
Gwen: oh, yeah, we're famous.
When people hear that the, uh,
Amazing gwendini and her
Assistant are performing,
They're gonna pack this place.
Ben: assistant?
Gwen: work with me.
Well, we don't have a magic
Act.
Gwen: you do now.
Better keep practicing.
[ Sighs ]
Back to the line.
Ben: since when do we have an
Act?
Gwen: since about 10 seconds
Ago.
Ben: great.
Boy, I love just being a kid.

Doris: haven't seen you in a
While, ben.
Ben: I was gone over the
Summer, mrs. Dalton.
Doris: do anything fun?
Ben: nah, just rode around
With my cousin and grandpa.
Doris: you tell max I said
Hello.
And tell him my toilets haven't
Worked the same since he stopped
Fixing them.
What can I get for you?
Ben: something that isn't
Vegetarian or have squirrel in
It.
Doris: [ laughs ]
Coming right up.
Ben: bellwood.
Blah.
Might as well be in the null
Void.
At least it would be more
Interesting.
Doris: this ought to start
You off nicely.
See you in a bit, hon.
Ben: um, can I see that?
I don't know.
Can you?
[ Laughs ]
Ben: "are there aliens among
Us?"
Yeah, but I'm not allowed to
Tell anyone.
Cash: talking to yourself
Again, tennyson?
Whoa, who's that -- your new
Girlfriend?
Ben: I dare you to say that
To wildmutt's face.
Cash: yeah, and you're gonna
Pull wildmutt out of your butt
Or something, right?
J.t.: "Butt" -- that was
Good, cash.
Cash: can it, j.t.
J.t.: Sorry, man.
Ben: no, not out of my butt.
Cash: [ laughs ]
Lame-son.
J.t.: Lame-son.
That was so good, dude.
Hey, it's the little
Magician's assistant.
Thinking up some fresh, new
Tricks?
[ Both laugh ]
[ Whispering indistinctly ]
Ben: forget what grandpa
Says.
It's payback time.
[ Beeping ]
Fourarms should settle this up.
[ Beeping ]
Fourarms should settle this up.
Grey matter: oh, man!
Hmm.
Maybe I can work with this.
Hyah!
[ Indistinct conversations ]
[ Grunting ]
Cash: hey, watch this, okay?
Grey matter: hey!
That is so immature!
Grey matter: j.t. And cash
Are gonna get theirs.
Pastry projectiles, meat-filled
Torpedoes -- stain the clothes,
Dirty face.
Hmm, awesome!
[ Laughs ]
Yah!
Yah!
[ Chattering ]
[ Grunting ]
J.t.: What happened, cash?
Cash: I don't know.
All the lights just went out.
Grey matter: let's see what
We have here.
Red to blue, blue to red.
Food goes flying on your head.
Oh, there we go.
Liquid attack mode.
[ Chattering ]
[ Laughs ]
There we go.
And all systems are...
Hyah!
Cash: power outage?
Grey matter: here we go.
Yah!
[ Laughs maniacally ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Doris: what in the...
Oh!
Doris, more coffee, please.
Grey matter: [ laughs ]
That was awesome.
J.t.: I don't feel good,
Dude.
Cash: can it, j.t.!
Cash: all right.
J.t.: Come on, dude.
Ben: boo!
Gwen: [ gasps ]
Ben: you totally just
Screamed like a girl.
Gwen: 'cause I am a girl.
Ben: aah! Unh!
Gwen: you totally just
Screamed like a boy.
Ben: ugh!
Ben: what are you doing?
Gwen: just downloading some
Yearbook photos.
Ben: photos?
Did you take any of me?
Gwen: ben, move!
Ben: this picture's terrible.
It's all blurry.
Gwen: it's not blurry.
Let me see.
[ Beeping ]
[ Sighs ]
Whoa.
What is that?
Ben: can you focus it?
Gwen: not on this software.
Hold on.
Ben: sweet.
You actually look like you know
What you're doing.
Gwen: I do know what I'm
Doing.
Oh, who is that?
Ben: no way.
That's the alien dude I turned
Into a fireworks display.
At least, I thought I did.
Gwen: ben, if he's in this
Picture, he's not only not dead,
He knows who you are.
Why would he fight you and then
Pretend to die?
Ben: maybe he wanted to know
How good I was.
Gwen: what do you mean, like
Research?
Ben: is that so crazy?
I'm pretty amazing.
Gwen: "amazing" isn't exactly
The word I'd use.
Max: what are you two doing
In here?
Ben: grandpa, uh, what's in
Your hand?
Max: that's octopus.
It's good for your teeth.
Gwen: do you know this
Creepoid?
Max: there isn't a plumber
Alive who doesn't.
His name is eon of kronia.
Ben: you mean, you fixed this
Guy's toilet?
Gwen: not those plumbers.
The plumbers.
The secret ones who won aliens.
Grandpa used to work for them.
Ben: oh, those plumbers.
I knew that.
Max: eon was the beginning.
He was the first alien captured
Nearly two centuries ago by the
Original plumbers.
According to the archival
Material, he was half dead and
Was carrying with him a device
Called the hands of armageddon.
Gwen: what was it?
Max: it took us many years to
Find out.
The hands of armageddon is a
Doomsday machine, capable of
Opening a gateway into our
Dimension, signaling the start
Of an alien invasion that would
Mark the end of humankind.
Eon was the beginning.
He's brought with him our end.
You two pack your things.
We're going on a road trip.
Ben: yeah! Yes!
Gwen: where are we?
This is like no place.
Ben: yeah, well, it's better
Than our place.
Ben tennyson, hero, is back.
Gwen: ben tennyson, hero,
Stinks.
You wore that shirt all summer.
Didn't you ever wash it?
Ben: are you kidding?
This is my lucky shirt.
Why would I do that?
Max: I still can't raise
Anybody.
[ Ringing ]
We'll be there soon enough.
[ Ringing ]
We'll be there soon enough.
[ Beeps ]
[ Beeps ]
Dad burn it.
Got to be one of these.
[ Beeps ]
I knew that.
[ Off-hook signal sounds ]
The chem lab was built to
Conduct tests on alien
Life-forms and technologies.
We kept eon here, locked down in
Deep freeze, a highly guarded
Secret, even from the plumbers
Themselves.
Ben: it sure is quiet.
Is anything even here anymore?
Gwen: this eon guy's supposed
To be.
Max: "supposed to be" is
Right, gwen.
Ben: oh, cool!
Gwen: yeah, like freezing
Cool.
Max: we've got to find
Constantine jacobs.
Come on.
Ben: who?
Max: he's the plumber in
Charge of eon.
[ Electricity sparking ]
Ben: grandpa?
Max: jacobs?
Gwen: gross.
Max: I'm sorry, constantine.
I wish we could have got here
Sooner.
Aah! I'm not dead!
Both: [ screaming ]
Max: constantine, can you
Hear me?
Eon.
Max: I know.
Just hang on.
We're gonna get help for you.
Too late.
Eon did this -- made me old in
The blink of an eye.
[ Coughing ]
He's after the hands.
Can't let him find the hardware
Store or the rest of the
Plumbers.
Ben: grandpa, you said the
Plumbers disbanded.
Max: we kept a handful active
To watch over our things --
Dangerous things, none more so
Than the hands.
We never planned for this.
You're the one...
The boy who found the omnitrix.
Eon knows about you.
Ben: how could he know about
Me?
I've never seen him before the
Other night.
He knows.
He knows.
Good luck, my son.
You'll need it.
[ Groaning ]
Max: he was a good friend and
A true plumber.
Ben: what did he mean, "he
Knows"?
Max: I couldn't say.
That's why I keep telling you,
Ben, to be careful.
This is not a game.
Ben: well, I guess this
Means we won't be going back to
School.
Gwen: here we go.
Ben: come on.
Am I wrong?
We got to find this eon dude and
The hands of...whatever.
Gwen: armageddon?
It means "the end of the world."
Ben: I know that...now.
I think we should start with
This supersecret hideout code
Named "the hardware store."
I bet it's in some awesome
Location, totally surrounded and
Hidden by traps.
Am I right?
Max: yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now get in.
Gwen: this doesn't look like
A supersecret location.
Ben: miller's hardware in
Bellwood?
A regular hardware store?
Is this a joke?
This is a joke.
Ha ha.
Not funny.
Max: all right, come on.
Ben: grandpa, I've been in
This store a hundred times.
Max: good.
Then you should know where
Everything is.
Counterclockwise -- 1, 2, 3.
It's impolite not to flush.
[ Toilet flushes ]
Ben: what -- where did that
Come from?
Max: thought you said you'd
Been here before.
Come on.
[ Beeps ]
[ Growling ]
[ Elevator music plays ]
Ben: [ yawns ]
Gwen: how far down does this
Thing go?
Max: how about some cricket
Antenna?
Helps to pass the time.
[ Bell dings ]
Ben: I know that.
I've seen that sign all over
Bellwood.
Max: that's not surprising,
Since that's been the icon of
The plumbers for centuries.
Gwen: nice security.
Geometric scanners, delta-4
Emotion trackers -- sweet.
Max: what'd you think -- we
Were just gonna ring a doorbell?
[ Doorbell rings ]
Ben, gwen, I'd like you to meet
The last of the legendary
Plumbers.
Undoubtedly, you'll recognize
Some of them.
Ben: no way.
Gwen: mrs. Dalton?
Doris: that was sure some
Ice-cream party grey matter
Threw those kids.
Gwen: mr. Hawkins, the
Postman?
Good to see you, kids.
Ben: fire chief whittington?
You've been keeping me very
Busy, young man.
Ben: and principal white?
Ed: sorry about that
Detention the other day, ben.
Didn't want to blow my cover.
Ben: I'm officially confused.
Gwen: ditto.
Ed: let's move, people.
[ Beeping ]
Ben: so, why didn't you tell
Us?
Max: take us to the hands.
Ben: the hands?
You mean, it's here?
This has been under bellwood the
Whole time?
Gwen: no, they just put it in
Last week.
Gwen: no, they just put it in
Last week.
[ Beeping ]
Ben: so, bellwood -- all this
Was created to protect the hands
Of whatever?
Wow, guess bellwood isn't as
Boring as I thought it was.
[ Electricity crackling ]
Gwen: is that...
Max: the hands of armageddon.
Ben: why didn't you just
Destroy it?
Doris: we've tried, honey.
Over the years, we plumbers have
Thrown everything we got at it.
But the hands have a way of
Deflecting us.
Ed: first time we tried, the
Force of energy accidentally
Created the grand canyon.
Or so they say.
One of the next times started
The chicago fire.
Mrs. O'leary's cow?
That was a cover story.
And I personally kicked off the
Great quake of '89.
That was a rocky afternoon, let
Me tell you.
Max: we devoted our lives to
Making sure the hands never were
Used for their original purpose.
Ed: but it's been some years
Since we last had to fight eon
Off the darn thing.
Doris: we're too old and too
Few now.
Ben: sounds like you need
Someone to save the world -- a
Hero...like me.
A hero like me.
It is me you're talking about,
Right?
'Cause if it is, you got no
Problems.
I'm ready.
I won't let you guys down.
Of course, I probably should be
Excused from doing any homework.
Gwen: ben, this is serious.
[ Beeps ]
Security breach, sector five.
They're inside.
[ Alarm blares ]
3-4.
Max: weapons.
Doris: hurry up, ed.
Hurry up, ed!
Ed: my memory is not what it
Used to be.
Doris: get out of the way,
Ed!
Ed: this is it.
I kept the little ring on it so
I'd recognize it.
It's this one.
Let's do this!
Ben: come on!
[ Growling ]
Are you all right?
Ben: fine.
Ed: I'll have to buy another
Lock tomorrow, you know.
Doris: are you kidding me?
Keep firing, ed.
Ed: if I get a combination
One, I won't have to remember
What key it is.
Look out!
Eon: after so long...
[ Inhales, exhales deeply ]
As I feared...
Nothing.
Gwen: don't just stand there.
Go hero.
Ben: sure, now you want me
To.
Eon: [ gasps ]
Ben: ah! Let me go!
[ Grunting ]
What are you doing?
Eon: rescuing you.
Ben: aah!
[ Electricity crackling ]
Come on!
Eon: there is nowhere you can
Run.
Benjamin?
Ben: help!
[ Engine turns over ]
Oh, great.
[ Tires screech ]
[ Tires screech ]
[ Horn honks ]
[ Tires screech ]
[ Horn honks ]
Help! Somebody!
Help! Somebody, help!
This thing!
[ Beeps ]
Eon: no one can help you,
Benjamin.
What is about to happen here is
Inevitable.
Ben: y-you died.
I saw you burn up.
Eon: in the world where I
Came from, my people have the
Ability to manipulate time at
Its base level.
By distorting the molecules
Around my form, it was a simple
Matter to create the illusion
That I wanted you to see.
A cheap parlor trick, really,
But sufficient to assess your
Powers.
Ben: why don't you go back to
Your own world, where someone
Cares what you think?
Eon: sadly, I can't do
That -- not without your help.
You see, I am a prisoner of
Time, as is my race.
But not for long.
Ben: I won't let you have the
Omnitrix.
Eon: you don't have a choice.
Neither of us do.
Go on, get, you ugly june
Bug.
Ben: you?
You're a plumber, too?
Of course I am.
Don't you know a disguise when
You see one?
Ben: that's a disguise?
No.
Ha, gotcha!
Now, hustle yourself home before
He gets back.
I'll clean up this mess here.
Tell you the truth, this is the
Most fun I've had in years.
Ha ha!
[ Chuckles ]
[ Ticking ]
[ Door opens ]
[ Clock chimes ]
Carl: ben?
Did we do something to hurt your
Feelings?
Ben: what?
Sandra: we want you to feel
Free to have a dialogue with us,
Ben.
Ben: m-mom --
Sandra: sandra.
Ben: what are you guys
Talking about?
Carl: you didn't come home
For dinner, and you didn't call.
Sandra: no, no.
Not that we want to constrict
You.
Carl: no, no.
Freedom is precious.
I've always said that.
Ben: n-no, it wasn't you
Guys.
I was with gwen.
We were practicing for the
School talent show.
Sandra: talent show?!
Carl: [ laughs ]
Why didn't you tell us that?
That's great!
Now you can show all those kids
How talented the tennysons are,
Huh?
Sandra: oh, carl, honey, we
Should get him some tape from
Our experimental theater days --
Carl: oh, no, we shouldn't.
Sandra: your father was so --
I mean, we did mime.
We did mask work.
Ben: I'm gonna get to bed.
Sandra: okay, honey.
Carl: don't show those tapes.
Good night, ben.
Ben: grandpa.
Max: I saw you come in.
Edward radioed the plumbers
About what happened with eon.
I'm just glad you're all right.
Ben: is gwen okay?
Max: she's fine.
The plumbers took a hit, but at
Least we now know what we're
Dealing with.
Ben: grandpa, right before
Eon grabbed me, the omnitrix --
It started to glow and burn.
Then when he ungrabbed it, it
Stopped working.
Max: it did?
It looks fine now.
Ben: it's not the first time
It's glowed like that.
Eon said that what was happening
Was inevitable and that I was a
Part of it.
Max: ben, the plumbers are
Afraid that eon might need the
Omnitrix to power the hands of
Armageddon.
That might explain why he went
After you and left the hands
Behind.
We want to get you away from the
Town.
I-it's for your own safety.
Ben: what?
N-no, I'm not running away.
Max: now, you can't look at
It that way.
Ben: if eon wants the
Omnitrix, he's gonna find me.
It doesn't matter where I go.
Max: ben?
Ben: you and the plumbers
Said that it's up to me now to
Protect the town.
So, let me.
Let eon come and find me here in
Bellwood, and when he does,
We'll get him together.
I can do this, grandpa.
I know I can.
Max: okay, but there's gonna
Be a plumber watching you around
The clock.
Ben: I don't need a
Babysitter.
Max: then we don't have a
Deal.
Ben: fine.
Fine, I'll have a babysitter.
Max: good.
Now it's bedtime for you.
Ben: [ sighs ]
Max: you know, ben, I didn't
Want this life for you.
I shielded your father from it
And your grandma before she
Passed.
Most people never see what goes
On behind the curtain.
You never had that choice.
But I won't let anything hurt
You, ben.
Ben: good, 'cause I'll never
Let anything hurt you, grandpa.
Max: [ chuckles ]
Hey, kelly, come on!
Cash: what's crackin',
Lame-son?
[ Laughs ]
Hurry up!
We're gonna be late!
Gwen: boo!
Gotcha!
Any sign of eon?
Ben: are you kidding?
Grandpa's got half the plumbers
In town watching.
Look at this.
There's mr. Ingalls, the
Facility guy, mr. Jennings from
The phone company.
Heck, we even got
Old lady carlysle and her
Plants.
Eon's not stupid.
There's no way he's gonna show.
Gwen: well, that'll give us
Some time to practice.
Ben: what's this stuff?
Gwen: magic tricks for the
Talent show.
I bought a kit at the toy
Emporium.
Don't worry, I'll handle the
Actual magic.
You can just stand there and
Give me stuff.
Ben: gee, that sounds like
Something an assistant does.
Girls are assistants.
Gwen: times have changed,
Coz.
Don't worry, you'll look great
In a leotard.
Ben: what's the point,
Anyways?
If I don't stop eon, fitting in
At school really isn't gonna
Matter anymore, is it?
[ Sighs ]
Ed: hello, ben.
Ben: [ gasps ]
Ed: sorry.
Didn't mean to scare you.
I saw you came in, wanted to
Make sure you, uh, were okay.
Ben: yeah, I'm fine.
Ed: must be strange for you,
Talking to me now that you know
I'm a plumber, isn't it?
Ben: well, yeah, it really
Is.
I mean, you're principal white,
The weird, creepy guy no one
Likes.
I didn't mean the weird creep--
Ed: oh, no need to explain.
Well...
You coming back out?
Ben: no, I just -- I'm just
Gonna stay alone for a little
Bit.
Ed: right, I understand.
If you ever need me or any of
The other plumbers --
Ben: you'll be watching.
Got it.
[ Sighs ]
Ed: [ slow motion ] just one
More thing...
[ Talking backwards ]
Aah!
Ben: aah!
[ Electricity crackling ]
Eon: with all those plumbers
Around, I was beginning to think
We would never have a moment
Alone.
Now, benjamin, I want to show
You your future.
[ Alarm ringing ]
Diamondhead: [ grunts ]
Gym class is in session.
Today, we play pummel the creepy
Alien dude.
Today, we play pummel the creepy
Alien dude.
Here, catch.
Right back at you.
Eon: [ chuckles evilly ]
[ Growls ]
Diamondhead: come on, let's
Settle this thing once and for
All.
Eon: when an alarm sounds,
The entire school gathers in the
Courtyard through which room,
Benjamin?
Diamondhead: oh, man.
Give me a break.
Huh?
Great, just where I wanted to
Spend fifth period.
Gwen: ben, wait up.
What happened?
Ben: he found me, that's what
Happened.
If eon says he wants me alone,
That's what he'll get.
Gwen: ben!
[ Thunder rumbling ]
Gwen: on a scale of 1 to 10,
10 Being the stupidest thing
You've ever done, this is a 15.
Ben: no one's making you
Stay.
Gwen: if eon knows you're
Being watched by plumbers, don't
You think he's gonna know you're
Setting a trap for him?
Ben: I don't care.
When he shows up this time, I'm
Going to be ready.
Bellwood is my town, mom, dad,
And grandpa's town.
Gwen: I live here, too.
Ben: I'm not gonna let him
thr*aten our home.
It's up to me, gwen.
Don't you get that?
Gwen: yeah, I get it, but I
Don't like it.
Ben: [ sighs ]
What was that?
Gwen: is it him?
Ben: I can't tell.
Ben: this is it.
Max: ben?
Ben: [ gasps ]
Grandpa!
How did you know we were here?
Max: it's the only place in
Bellwood I hadn't checked.
Gwen: it was his idea.
He was trying to set a trap for
Eon.
Ben: traitor.
Max: do you know how
Dangerous -- how foolish this
Is?
Ben: grandpa, I can do this.
I'm ready.
Max: ben, did you ever stop
To think that getting you alone
Is precisely what eon wants?
Now, come on.
Both: [ gasp ]
All: [ growling ]
Ben: [ grunting ]
What have I done?
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Grandpa?
Grandpa?
Max: we're here, ben.
We're all right.
Eon: I hope you don't mind
That I brought them along to
Watch.
Max: eon, let the children
Go.
You can have the omnitrix.
Max: ow.
Oh, think you knocked that loose
Crown back into place.
Saved me a dentist's bill.
Ben: stop it!
Leave him alone!
Eon: have you ever wondered
Why the omnitrix only allows you
To change for 10 minutes at a
Time?
Ben: sure.
Unfortunately, I lost the
Instruction manual.
Eon: it's a fail-safe so that
The dna of the alien life-forms
Trapped within the omnitrix
Don't overwhelm you when they
Take you over...
A fail-safe that can be easily
Overridden if one knows the
Omnitrix as intimately as I do.
I came here on a desperate
Mission to rescue my people.
Ben: yeah, rescue them by
Taking over our world.
Eon: we were a gilded race
Of warriors.
We'd mastered the elements --
Gods who grew too strong and
Destroyed ourselves.
With the hands of armageddon, we
Could be reborn on earth, but in
Order to do that, I needed to
Find you.
Ben: what are you talking
About?
Eon: you kept this secret
Even from your own blood.
You are the reason I came back
Two centuries ago and again
Countless times.
My body grew weaker and weaker
With each leap through time.
I was looking for you, benjamin,
The boy with the omnitrix.
Ben: you knew?
Max: we hoped you'd never
Find out, that this day would
Never come.
Ben: why me?
Eon: ah.
It's my dna that will be
Released from the omnitrix.
I am the alien life-form that
Will soon overwhelm you.
You are me, benjamin.
Ben: no, you're lying!
Eon: my time is almost over.
But I will be reborn in you and
Have great strength and power at
The hands of armageddon and open
A time rift to my dying world,
Bringing an end to yours.
You will no longer be a simple,
Helpless child, but a god -- not
For mere moments, but for an
Eternity.
Gwen: don't you touch him,
You freak!
Ben, don't worry, we're gonna
Get you free.
[ Beeps ]
Ben: please, don't.
Gwen: no!
Max: ben!
Eon: thank you, benjamin.
Your sacrifice will not be
Forgotten.
Two cannot exist in one world.
Gwen: ben, are you in there?
Ben!
Eon: sorry to disappoint you.
Such power...
Trapped...
Held sl*ve by a child.
No longer.
I am free!
At last, time for my people to
Wake and meet their new world.
At last, time for my people to
Wake and meet their new world.

[ Electricity crackling ]
Sandra: excuse me.
Don't get up.
Carl: I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Sandra: I'm very limber.
Carl: she's very excited.
It's okay.
It's good to be excited.
Sandra: excuse me.
I'm sorry.
[ Squeals ]
Carl: our son's -- probably
Yours, too.
Sandra: here, sit -- ooh,
Gosh.
Oh, gosh, okay.
I didn't see ben before we left.
I made him a lucky hemp
Bracelet.
Carl: I'm sure they're just
Working out some last-minute bit
Of prestidigitation, okay?
And remember not to bathe him
Too much with affection in front
Of his friends.
We want him to know that we
Respect him as a peer.
Sandra: yes.
Max: gwen...
If you step up on that block
Behind you, you think you can
Put your foot on my back pocket,
Push out my wrench?
Gwen: I don't know. Maybe.
Max: well, give it a try.
Thatagirl.
Good. Good.
Okay.
Now, see if you can kick open
The top of the wrench.
One more time.
Good.
Okay, I want you to hide.
I have to shut down the hands
Before the time rift becomes
Unstoppable.
Gwen: what about ben?
Max: don't worry, we'll get
Him back, okay?
Sorry about this, ben.
Please don't tell your parents.
[ Electricity crackling ]
Doris: [ groaning ]
It's so hot.
Ed: miss me?
Doris: oh, yes!
Open the door.
Doris: open the door.
Hurry up and open the door.
Ed: you guys are lost without
Me.
Doris: hurry up, open the
Door.
Hot.
No, ed.
Doris: over there.
Ed: okay, okay, I remember
It's -- it's --
Doris: over there!
Over there!
On the wall.
Doris: yeah.
Ed: ah.
[ Buzzer ]
That was easy.
Doris: good lord, really, ed.
Could you have taken any longer
To get here?
Ed: sorry, doris.
Woke up in the school infirmary.
Darn nurse wouldn't let me out
Of there.
Least I brought these.
Doris: oh.
Now, that's what I'm talking
About.
[ Chuckles ]
All right.
Got that one?
Doris: let's get plumbing.
[ Electricity crackling ]
Max: okay, one is negative,
And one's positive.
But which one?
Darn it, max, don't blow up your
Own hometown.
Darn it, max, don't blow up your
Own hometown.
Gwen: grandpa!
Ben!
Ben tennyson, you stupid idiot,
Grandpa's in trouble!
Guess I got your attention, huh?
I'm not afraid of you, you hear
Me?
I'm not afraid, 'cause inside I
Know you're still my cousin...
Aah!
...the same cousin that's lame
At sports and cried when I
Pinned him when we were 5...
And who won't wear colored socks
'Cause he thinks they're gonna
Color his feet.
And even though most of the
Time, I'm afraid that if people
Find out we're related, they'll
Think I inherited your stupid
Gene, but you're still my
Ferret-faced, hammer-headed
Cousin.
And I love you, ben tennyson,
'Cause you're a hero.
And you've never given up on
Anything in your life.
Eon: lovely speech.
Shame it will be your last.
This is the end for you,
Gwen tennyson.
Ed: no, but it's a permanent
Detention for you.
Eon: one against many.
It hardly seems fair.
All: [ growling ]
Gwen: ben, please, don't.
I know you're in there.
I need you!
Grandpa max needs you!
The world needs you!
Eon: [ grunting ]
Gwen: oh, my gosh, it's
Working.
I don't believe it.
Eon: aah! Aah!
Gwen: keep fighting, ben!
Aah!
Is it really you?
Eon: for the record, I never
Cried when you pinned me.
I had something in my eye.
Gwen: fine.
Well, I'm just glad you're you
Again.
If you ever tell anyone I said
The, you know, "l" word --
Eon: don't worry, your
Secret's safe.
Step back.
[ Groaning ]
Ben: I'm okay.
Did grandpa take care of the
Hands?
Gwen: ben...
Grandpa...
Ben: grandpa?
No!
Grandpa!
Max: I'm sorry, ben.
It was the only way.
You're free now.
Eon's gone.
Just know that everything I did
Was to protect you.
Ben: please, don't leave me.
I can't lose you now.
Max: you won't, ben.
Of all the things I've done in
My life, I'm the most proud of
You, my grandson.
I'll always be with you, ben.
Now get!
Ben: not without you!
I know who I am now, grandpa,
And I know it because of you.
You taught me!
But I'm not finished learning
Yet.
Max: I said "get," ben!
Ben: I need help!
Max: [ grunting ]
Hey.
[ Chuckles ]
Good job.
[ Chuckles ]
Good job.
Max: well, that wasn't too
Smart.
I didn't teach you that.
Ben: I know.
But since when have I ever
Listened to you?
Gwen: oh, my gosh, ben, we
Completely forgot about the
Talent show.
We're supposed to go on in less
Than 10 minutes.
Ben: grandpa, mom and dad --
I mean, sandra and carl are
Gonna freak if we don't show.
Ed: no problem.
We can take my car.
Don't worry, I'll drop you
Around back.
Nobody will see you with the
Principal.
Okay, car keys.
Ben: you know, even though
I'd never want to be eon again,
Think I could ever access those
Cool powers -- minus the
Body-snatching part?
Ed: [ slow motion ] found the
Key.
Eon: the answer to your
Question, benjamin, is no.
Those powers still belong to me!
Ben: the hands are gone, eon.
Your world is gone.
Eon: you could have been a
God!
Ben: aah!
Wildmutt: [ snarling ]
Eon: well done.
So, we'll play sh**ting ducks
Until your time runs out.
So, we'll play sh**ting ducks
Until your time runs out.
Wildmutt: [ screeches ]
Eon: [ groaning ]
No! It's not my time!
[ Glass shatters ]
Max: I hope nobody noticed
That.
Gwen: I don't feel so good.
[ Scoffs ]

[ Cheers and applause ]
Weren't they great?
All: [ screaming ]
Let's have another big round of
Applause for the bellwood
Sassies!
[ Cheers and applause ]
For our final act tonight, we
Have -- ooh! -- Magicians.
Oh, I love magic.
Isn't it exciting?
[ Chuckles ]
So, let's put our hands together
For the great gwendini and her
Assistant!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Okay.
What's going on?
[ Laughing ] let me deal with
It.
Where are they?!
I don't know!
Do not yell at me!
It's not my fault!
No, it's your job!
Find them!
No, no, no, no.
I am supposed to be here, read
My lines, and then, if they show
Up, they show up.
Do not send me into a shame
Spiral!
What's going on?
They're gonna be here in a
Second.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Rumbling ]
What's that noise?
I'm sorry.
Wildmutt: [ snarling ]
Aah!
[ Audience gasps ]
Gwen: boy, I wish we'd gotten
Around to practicing.
Uh, hey.
How's everybody doing tonight?
Right on.
Well, I'm gwendini, and this is
Wildmutt.
He's an alien, not a big dog.
Common mistake.
Anyways, yeah, we're, uh -- what
Are we gonna do?
[ Beeping ]
We're gonna do something right
Now.
Ladies and gentlemen, the
Incredible transformation!
Wildmutt: [ roaring ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Carl: you rock!
Amazing!
Wow!
Sandra: bravo, ben!
Bravo!
Cash: so, I guess he really
Does know wildmutt.
J.t.: Maybe you shouldn't
Have made fun of him.
Better hope tennyson doesn't
Tell wildmutt you called him his
Girlfriend or you're toast.
Cash: can it, j.t.
Tennyson's cool.
He wouldn't do something like
That.
I'm so out of here, man.
J.t.: Wait for me, dude.
What a finish!
Well, it looks like the judges'
Decision is unanimous.
I don't think anyone is gonna be
Surprised by this.
The winner of tonight's talent
Show, first place, is...
The bellwood sassies!
All: [ screaming ]
Oh, great job, girls.
Great. Thank you.
Good for you. All right.
And in second place, no slouch,
The winner is the great gwendini
And her assistant!
Yeah! Gwen!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Congratulations.
Gwen: guess they did practice
More than us.
Ben: yeah, well, I'd like to
See the bellwood sassies stop an
Invading alien army from coming
Through a rift in space by
Detaining a time-traveling
Psycho.
Gwen: don't be a sore loser.
Sandra: oh, ben, what a
Divinely mystical experience --
You turning into you from that
Giant dog!
Cash: that's wildmutt,
Darling.
He's one of the heroes you read
About in the papers.
Ben: dad -- I mean, carl, you
Know about wildmutt?
Cash: you'd be surprised what
I know about, ben.
Max: how'd you do?
Ben: second place.
Max: oh, that's not bad.
That calls for a celebration on
Me.
It's not every day you get
Second place.
Ben: and save the world.
Max: come on.
Don't y'all wait up.
We got some pizza to devour.
Sandra: watch how much cheese
You eat, ben!
You know all that lactose makes
You gassy!
Carl: let the kid live a
Little bit, honey.
Eat all the cheese you want,
Ben!
[ Clock chimes ]
Max: well, what do you feel
Like -- cricket tongue on
Crackers or some spicy bug
Larva?
Both: ew!
Gwen: you said we were having
Pizza.
Max: I'm only kidding with
You.
I'll only put the larva on my
Half.
Both: ew!
Ben: I guess bellwood's
Getting back to normal.
Max: that it is.
Might be time to put the
Omnitrix away for a while, ben.
Gwen: at least wash that
Shirt.
It reeks.
Ben: I'm gonna miss it,
Though, having no aliens around.
Max: oh, I wouldn't worry
About that.
Aliens are a tenacious breed.
