09x12 - Worlds Apart

[bunniefuu]

Was embarrassing, you guys.
We had this mutant outnumbered.

Look, right here you can
see he was getting tired.

And at this point,
the mutant was vulnerable.

A stronger attack from us
could have taken him down faster

and with less injury to us.

Wes, Katie,
you both are fighting

like you had your mind
on something else.

And, Lucas, you-- you
performed below your potential.

Right here. You see?

[ sniffs ] what is that?

Who is eating popcorn
while I'm trying to work?

- [ Wes and Katie mumbling ]
- I can't believe this.

Hey, there's a guy downstairs
who wants to hire us.

- To do what?
- To pick up garbage.

This is far too important.

Besides, I'm sure that nobody
wants to pick up trash.

- Trash is good.
- I'm in.

Sounds great.

All right.

I went through all of that
Time Force training for this?

Hey, these odd jobs
pay the bills.

I don't care how you do it.

I want those contracts
signed by Tom--

Wes? Driver, pull over.

Hi, Dad.

This is what you left home for,
to clean up other people's trash?

- He does more than that.
- Trip, it's okay.

I couldn't be more disappointed.

Drive on.

Halt! You are under arrest.

Fire!

Over here.

Who do you think you are?

We are the Silver Guardians,
hired to protect this property.

You must be joking.

- Nadira.
- No, wait.

How dare you spoil
my shopping spree!

- Halt!
- No one tells me to stop.

Fire!

- Now you'll pay.
- Her Cyclobots are destroyed.

You'll all pay.

Oh, great job.

You Silver Guardians
are worth every penny.

Well, thank you, sir.
Let's move out.

- Long time, no see, Wes.
- Eric, what are you doing here?

We're with the Silver Guardians.
We protect the city now.

- And you?
- Well, I'm just...

hanging out with my friends.

Life's one big
vacation for you.

Let's go.

I've got work to do.
See you around.

That guy's got even more
attitude than you.

- Who was that guy?
- That's Eric.

We went to prep school together.

Silver Guardians?
Where did they come from?

I don't like it.
We've been doing just fine

protecting the city
without their help.

Rangers, there's something
on television

I think might interest you.

Our Silver Guardians have
averted another robbery today.

I'm sure the entire
city sleeps better

knowing they're
looking out for us.

Is it true that your Guardians

only protect clients
who pay for their services?

MAN: What about the
Time Force Rangers?

The Rangers can't be
everywhere, now, can they?

So the Silver Guardians
are another one of

- your father's business ventures?
- Wait, wait, wait.

First the ramei tank, and now this?

Believe me, I am just
as surprised as you are.

He's never shown any interest
in the defense industry before.

Your dad's helping
to protect the city.

That's a good thing, isn't it?

No, he doesn't care
about the city.

He's in it for the money.

I know you and your father
have had your differences,

but do you really think
he's that greedy?

You heard the report.
The Silver Guardians

only protect people
who can pay for it.

I used to look up to that man,
want to be just like him.

But now I realize all he
really cares about is money.

All his big plans for me--
even I became just another...

business venture.

Your old friend Eric is
working for your dad now.

Well, we're not exactly friends.

In prep school, we
trainind in karate together,

and he was a great fighter,

but he always had
something to prove.

And then one day
I heard he quit.

Eric. Hey, wait up.

- Are you quitting?
- This place stinks.

Bunch of lazy rich kids
wasting their time.

I got bigger plans.

Eric!

- But then what happened?
- Nothing.

I never saw him again till today.

We need all the help
we can get against Ransik.

Maybe the Silver Guardians
will do us some good. Right?

I don't think they know
what they're getting into.

Our clients deserve the
best protection possible.

They're counting on each and
every one of you to give %.

Forget fear. Nothing can stop you.

You are the Silver Guardians.

- Mr. Collins.
- Yes, what is it?

I'm Eric Myers. I went to
prep school with your son.

I understand that Wes
moved out of your house.

I saw him today, and
I can help you find him.

Yes, he moved out of the house...
but I'm not looking for him.

[ thinking ] So Wes gave it all up.
That's just like him.

- Eric, I got you this.
- Thanks.

Hey, Wes. My dad's throwing
a party on the yacht.

- You're invited.
- h* h* h*! Thanks.

- Hey, you want to come?
- Yeah, sure.

Oh, actually, it's
kind of a small party.

- Only you're invited.
- That's all right.

- I wouldn't go anyway.
- Eric, wait. Hold up.

Eric! Eric, wait. Hold up.

You know, I'm not going wither,

so how about we find
something else to do?

[ thinking ] You had the money,
all the right friends,

but you didn't know how to
use them to your advantage.

Well, you might have been
given all the breaks,

but we'll see who
ends up on top.

It's time for me to take
matters into my own hands.

I will show that windbag
Ransik once and for all

how truly superior
the robot race can be.

He still hasn't figured
out that it is I

who holds the key
to the x-vault,

holding the most dangerous
mutants of all.

- Ha ha!
- [ mutant laughing ]

Mutant alert! Mutant alert!

There's a mutant attacking
in the city plaza!

JEN: Let's go!

All right, listen up.

This is our chance to
really prove what we can do.

Let's move out.

K- !

LUCAS: Time Flier!

- Rangers!
- What do you want?

Not much, only to destroy you.
Now which one do I want first?

Careful, Rangers.
He's from the x-vault.

The x-vault?

Well, you're going right
back to where you came from.

Cyclobots, let's show
these rude Rangers

- just who they're dealing with.
- [ all scream ]

Wow! I don't think this
guy's messing around.

Everybody, brace yourselves.

[ sirens blaring ]

All right, listen up.

I want this creature removed
without any damage

to the client's property.
Understood?

BOTH: Yes, sir.

Attention, mutant.

You are trespassing
on private property.

I order you to leave immediately.

- Give it your best shot, soldier.
- Fire!

Oh, no, look.

My father sent the
Silver Guardians again.

They don't even know
what they're up against.

This guy's even too tough for us.

- BOTH: Aah!
- Now for your pests.

Time Force Rangers-- I should
have known they'd be here.

Who's next?

Aah!

Ha ha ha! This is much too easy.

I haven't even
broken a sweat yet.

Ha ha ha!

Weapons ready!

- This is your last warning.
- Should I be scared?

Wait! You can't beat him
with those weapons!

- He's too powerful!
- Move!

Fire!

- See ya, soldier.
- No, wait!

Look out!

- Oh, no!
- Whoa!

Ha ha ha!

Wes?

Wes?

Now to finish the job.

Wes! Wait!

Wesley, what's
the meaning of this?

You're a Time Force Ranger.

I wanted to tell you,
Dad, but I couldn't.

Look, you don't know what
you're up against here.

People are getting hurt...
all because you want more money.

- How much is enough for you, Dad?
- No, that's not it at all.

You don't understand anything
about my business.

I had the perfect future
planned out for you.

Your future, not mine.
For the first time in my life,

I feel like I'm really
making a difference.

Wes, wait, stop. Listen,
if you'd just let me explain,

you'd understand you're
taking a bunch of nonsense.

No. All my life I've done
what you've wanted me to do,

but now I'm in control
of my own future.

Wes, son... hey, don't walk
away from me when I'm--

Wesley, you walk away,
you'll regret it.

- Wesley!
- Don't be stupid, Wes.

You should listen to your father.

[ all scream ]

I really thought you Rangers
would have put up more of a fight.

Oh, well. Huh?

- We're not done yet.
- Wes, be careful!

[ thinking ] I'm never going
to regret what I'm doing.

You may not see it now, Dad,

but someday I'm going
to make you proud of me.

You're going back to the freezer.

Time Strike.

Vortex Blaster.

Aim.

Locked on. Fire!

Put him in containment
with the other mutants.

Right, Wes.

- Are you all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

- That was awesome, Wes.
- Yeah.

- Yeah, all right, Wes.
- Let's go.

The powerful mutants
of the x-vault

are under my control alone.
No one must know my little secret.

Daddy, where did
that mutant come from?

I've never seen him before.

I don't know, my dear,
but I intend to find out.

[ laughs nervously ]
I've got to hide the key

before he finds it on me.

Making yourself useless
as usual, Frax?

Yes, that's me, doing the
usual nothing I usually do.

- Oh, oh, yeah, that's me.
- Hmm.

If I didn't know better,
I'd say you were up to something.

Oh, don't make me laugh, Nadira.
You know that robots

aren't programmed to
think for themselves.

- You know that.
- Oh, that's right.

Whatever was I thinking? Ha ha ha!

Step aside.

The day will come when I
will squish them like insects.

- Hey, hey, watch it.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Wesley... I'd like to talk to you.

- Alone, please.
- Sure.

You listen to me, son.

If defending the city
is what you want to do,

then you need to join
the Silver Guardians.

My commander was injured.
I want you to be the new leader.

With your ranger technology,
it could bring my company

- to a whole new level.
- You just don't get it, Dad.

It's not about the money.
Time Force Rangers

help everyone, not just
those who can afford it.

I won't have any part
of your team.

Wesley, I try, but I just
don't understand you.

I hope someday you will.
