01x07 - Not So Fast and Furious

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat musical intro]

Max, I got your text. What's the emergency?

Chloe, I'm sending you on a super-duper secret mission.

Sounds important. What is it?

I need you to get me hot cocoa.

What? Why me?

Because you can teleport to Switzerland,

and get me the real deal!

Oh, and a bagel from New York, and a kangaroo from Australia!

I want to ride in its little pouch.

You do realize you're older than me, right?

You just lost your turn in the pouch.

Max! Chloe! I have urgent news. One of--

One of Mastermind's villains

is wreaking havoc in Secret Shores!

Uh, yes, I'll tell you about the villain.

-Her name is-- -Kitty Klaw.

A lightning fast super villain with cheetah powers.

Care to project a hologram of the villain?

Oh, wait, you can't!

Her calling card is super-speed slapping her victims. She's a--

Master thief! How's it feel, smart stuff?

[mockingly] Not good.

Lightning fast, huh?

Sounds like we might need backup

from our super-fast brother.

[chuckles] Well, I...

[both] Not you.

She's talking about...

Billy!

-[squeals] Hi! -Hey, guys!

Wow, Chloe. I can't believe how big you got.

What? It's me, Phoebe.

Ohh!

[chuckles]

Then who is that?

[Chloe]I come from a family of superheroes.

But now, my brother and sister and I

are heading to a brand-new town.

[Phoebe] We're going undercover.

[Max]To try and solve

our most important mission yet.

♪A picture-perfect family is what we try to be ♪

♪Look closer, you might see the crazy things we do ♪

♪This isn't make-believe, it's our reality ♪

♪Just your average family ♪

♪Trying to be normal and stay out of trouble ♪

♪Livin' a double life ♪

[upbeat musical transition]

Whee! [laughs]

Again, again!

I think times is enough.

Welcome to the Air Lair, Billy. This is our command center.

Wow! This place has so much cool high-tech stuff!

Oh, what is this?

That's a stapler.

We were hoping you could help us with a T-Force mission.

Hey, I'm on the T-Force!

Yes, we know. There's a villain loose in the town

and we could really use your super speed.

Do you guys see that giant floaty face?

Oh, that's Thunderford. He's kind of our butler.

You must be Billy. Your reputation precedes you.

I do have a reputation of being Billy.

Hmm. Quite.

I've yet to pinpoint Kitty Klaw's exact location.

It's difficult because she moves at the speed of light.

Yeah. Don't worry. I'll help you.

Pardon? I possess infinite information

and can access it within milliseconds.

Didn't I beat you at chess yesterday?

I'm... getting a call. You can't hear it. Bye!

Yeah, your king tried to run away too, but I still got him!

Max, this mission couldn't have come at a better time.

-Why's that? -I'm the only Thunderman

with nothing going on.

Mom and Dad are off fighting a giant kraken...

Kevin got loose again?

You guys are thundercover

and Nora just left for her super semester abroad.

Well, if you're so eager to help on the mission,

you could get me some super-duper secret items.

What is it?

I need you to get me

hot cocoa from Switzerland!

Max.

That sounds like...

the most important mission I've ever done!

[upbeat musical transition]

Chloe, it's so cool your brother gave you the keys

so we could sneak into the school after hours.

Oh, he didn't give them to me.

He taught me how to pick a lock when I was five.

Time to get to work. The Paranormal Club

won't let me in until I find a real ghost.

I wanted to join ever since I was born.

Didn't that club start two years ago?

Yes, but... baby Jinx knew!

[exhales] These are my people.

Plus, they wear these insanely cool cloaks!

Youwould look great in a cloak!

You don't have to tell me.

So, you really think our school's haunted?

Totally. By a girl who got ghosted so hard by her friends,

that she turned into a ghost!

That seems hard to believe.

Then who else keeps sneaking into my locker

and taking bites out of my sandwich?

Definitely a ghost and, pfft, not a curious vegetarian

who's never tried baloney.

Let's get ghost hunting!

Ghoul goggles.

Ghost containment unit.

And my... specter barometer.

Those are swim goggles, a butterfly net,

and a meat thermometer.

I'm ghost hunting on a budget!

Okay, Booch. You can start filming.

And... action!

Fans of the paranormal, do not attempt this on your own,

for I'm a trained professional.

Here, ghosty, ghosty, ghosty, ghosty!

Wow, he's good.

Jinxy won't hurt you! Now show me your ghostyness!

What's your meat thermometer say?

It says that there's . ghosts in here!

Oh wait, that's just my temperature.

Hey, at least you don't have a fever.

Oh, man, I stink at ghost hunting.

You dreamed too big, baby Jinx.

That's a bunch of baloney.

Not that I would know!

Activate voice modulation. Ghost mode.

[watch beeps]

[ghostly voice] Who has awakened

the school hallway ghost?

[both] Whoa!

I knew it! Please, show yourself!

[ghost voice] No!

I'm, um, having a bad ghost hair day!

It's coming from over there!

[ghost voice] Well, gotta float!

Off to haunt the teacher's lounge.

[Kombucha] She's gone!

Jinx, I can't believe it! There really was a ghost!

And I got it on camera!

I can't wait until the Paranormal Club sees this!

-Oh! -[shatters]

If my mom asks,

that meat thermometer was already broken.

[upbeat musical transition]

-You called? -Thunderford!

Can you pinpoint Billy's location?

It's been three whole minutes

since I sent him for that chili in Chile.

Processing. He appears to be crossing a mountain range.

Now there's an avalanche.

Oh, that's super-duper bad.

Now he's running away from the avalanche, screaming.

[screaming]

Now he's standing next to you.

Billy, what happened?

I was getting your chili when I took a shortcut

across the mountain and caused an avalanche.

-Did anyone get hurt? -Thermal scans reveal

no civilian injuries,

but there was a snowman

that did not survive.

I'm a monster!

Billy, don't worry about the chili.

You can make it up to me by getting me some

-buffalo wings from Buffalo! -No.

I can't. I'm never using my super speed again.

What are you saying?

I'm retiring as a superhero.

What?

[loudly] I am retiring as a superhero!

-Got that. -[quirky musical beat]

[upbeat musical transition]

-Hey! You feeling any better? -Oh, yeah.

I feel a lot better about retiring.

Plus I get cookies?

-You can't retire, Billy. -I have to!

My powers caused that avalanche that crushed that snowman.

He could've been the first snowman on the moon!

But no one real got hurt.

But they could have.

I don't want to take those chances anymore.

But you can't just quit being a superhero, man.

I mean, we need you to stop Kitty Klaw.

I'm sorry. I'm just gonna walk home very slowly.

Tell Mom and Dad I'll be back in about seven months.

Come on! You said nothing's happening at home.

Why don't you just stay here?

It'll be like a... vacation.

Hmm. Retirees do love a good vacay.

Oh, and I could finally try golf!

That's the sport with the funny pants, right?

Yeah!

And if you stay, I can fix you.

You could try, but I doubt it'll work.

As you know, I am a very complicated person.

Just don't tell Phoebe about this.

-Don't tell Phoebe about what? -That I'm retired.

Uh, he means that he's tired!

For the second time today!

You should take a power nap, Billy. Now!

But I'm not using my powers.

Smart. You're saving them up to take down Kitty Klaw later.

Right, that's what he's doing. And nothing else.

Great. 'Cause as soon as I pinpoint Kitty Klaw's location,

we are gonna need Billy at his best.

-But, Phoebe, I'm-- -Hungry? I got you, bro.

Why are you guys acting so weird?

Uh, Phoebe, I heard Thunderford was in the Air Lair

trying a new vector formula to track down Kitty Klaw.

Oh, he better not be using a varied vector.

My vector is already very varied!

Now, to start fixing Billy.

-[golf club swishes] -Ow!

Fore!

[upbeat musical transition]

I'm guessing that's the Paranormal Club?

I'm gonna show them my ghost video.

I can practically taste that cloak.

Gross? But good luck.

I'm worried. What if Jinx doesn't get in?

That's impossible!

Jinx's ghost video is as real as it gets.

I just feel bad for that ghost who's trapped in our school.

Don't worry. I bet she's long gone by now.

Guys, that could not have gone better!

-So, you're in? -Nope!

Actually, I guess it could have gone better.

-But I'm close! -What do you mean?

They said they need to witness

the ghost sighting for themselves.

Apparently anyone can fake a ghost talking to them.

Who would ever do something like that?

If I had to guess, a really, really good friend.

[quirky musical transition]

All right, this should work.

I don't know about this plan, Max.

You could get yourself crushed.

And then what would I have to live for?

This isn't for me, Colosso. It's for Billy.

Ah. You're trying to take out Turbo-Toes. Me like!

No. I'm putting myself in danger,

so Billy uses his super speed to save me

and realizes he's a great supe.

Oh, right, yeah!

I was just kidding about taking out Billy. Great kid!

[creaking]

Whoa! That's heavier than it looks!

Billy! Help!

Hey, I was just about to ask you for help.

What's a boy's name, five letters, starts with a B,

and rhymes with silly?

-Billy? -No, that's not it.

Too many Ls.

Billy, I need your help! Save me!

Oh, don't worry. I got it.

Phoebe! Max needs your help!

-Come on! Uh-oh! -[thudding]

Guys! I've narrowed down Kitty Klaw's location

to a ten-block radius.

We're so close to catching her.

[straining] Good work, Phoebe!

[upbeat musical transition]

Oh, Billy! I got the perfect thing

to help you want to be a superhero again.

I call 'em Rocket Runners.

I don't know, Max. Those don't look very safe.

Plus, I need arch support.

Come on!

Put these on, super speed around,

and remember how much you love being fast.

I'm retired.

Fast isn't who I am anymore.

You know the story about the tortoise and the hare, Max?

-Yeah, of course. -Could you tell it to me?

I've never heard it.

Guys, Thunderford and I found Kitty Klaw's location.

I mean... [shouting] It was mostly me, though!

She's hiding in the abandoned zoo.

You found her lair? That's great news, Phoebe!

Hey, now tell her the bad news.

[sighs] Fine!

Billy retired as a superhero.

Oh. I thought you were gonna say that I was out of bran flakes.

Billy retired? Why?

I was trying to get something for Max

when I caused an avalanche

which crushed an innocent snowman.

I have his snow all over my hands!

Max, I can't believe you did this.

Look, I tried to fix Billy, okay?

I even made these really cool Rocket Runners.

Anyone can use 'em to super speed around.

Anyone, huh? All right, well,

if Billy won't use his super speed to take down Kitty Klaw,

I'll just have to take matters into my own hands...

feet.

Phoebe, you'll hurt yourself.

Yeah, he's right, Phoebe. I better open the door for you.

No, I mean she doesn't know how to use them.

Come on, guys. How hard could it-- Whoa!

That young lady needs to slow down!

[slurping]

Ah! Milk just tastes better out of a stolen saucer.

[crash]

[splutters]

Brakes would have been nice. Ugh.

Well, look what the cat dragged in.

Wow. You're really all in on this cat theme, huh?

Oh, I'm living my best nine lives. [giggles, shrieks]

[cat-like screech]

[grunts] Ha!

You think this piece of junk can hold me?

-[zapping] -Ow!

Wow, strong piece of junk.

[laughs] Isn't it? It's designed to shock you

every time you use your super powers.

Oh, this is bad. Let me out of here right meow!

Oh.

Oh, so it's cool when you do it?

[quirky musical transition]

[upbeat musical transition]

Status report! Phoebe is still not picking up.

Chloe's not texting back either.

Probably thinks I want her to run another errand.

Kids and their phones, ruining the world.

Phoebe's tracker says she's still in Kitty Klaw's lair.

Oh, that's not good. Billy, super speed me there!

-Phoebe needs our help! -I want to, but I can't.

I don't wanna use my powers and risk something bad happening.

Billy, you had a close call.

It's okay. We've all had them.

-[sighs] -Well, not me. I'm awesome.

It's more than the avalanche, Max.

All of this sitting around the house alone

got me doing some...

What's the word?

Thinking?

No. Brainalyzing.

I realized why I'm the only Thunderman

with nothing going on.

Because I'm the worst hero in the family.

[sighs] Billy.

We all doubt ourselves from time to time.

Again, not me.

But you can't just give up on being a superhero, man.

Otherwise you give up on people that really need you.

Like Phoebe.

You're right.

But I can't use my super speed.

[Max sighs]

Well, guess I'm jogging to Kitty Klaw's lair.

You could at least close the door behind you!

AC isn't free!

[upbeat musical transition]

They have a lot of stuff.

Once I prove that ghost is real,

I'm getting into the Paranormal Club!

I wonder if that cloak has pockets.

Okay, we're all set up.

Jinx, if this ghost is fake, then you're not in.

Sorry, but rules before ghouls.

Ah-ah. Plus, we'll make sure you're banned

from every conspiracy group in Secret Shores.

Let's get spooky!

Jinx. Are you sure you want to be friends with them?

I'm pretty sure they just threatened you.

Yeah. I did not like their energy at all.

Well, lucky for me, the ghost is real.

And she's about to show up!

She does seem near.

You have no idea.

Ghost girl! It's me, Jinx!

I've brought some friends that want to meet you!

Hold my hand! I'm so scared.

What if the ghost doesn't show up?

I sense there's something holding her back.

Yeah, I can't imagine what's keeping her.

Come on, girl! Good ghost girl! Come to Jinxy!

Is she a ghost or a puppy?

The ghost might be jealous of our friendship.

Maybe we should not hold hands.

That is how ghosts work,

but I'm not letting go of your hand.

Please reveal yourself! Please!

This is over. Let's shame him.

[all] Shame! Shame! Shame!

-Shame! Shame! -I can't watch!

[kids] Shame! Shame! Shame!

[eerie music playing]

What's happening?

[ghost voice] Who dare disturbs my hallway?

Who... Who said that?

It's the ghost!

Wait. Ghosts are real?

[ghost voice] You're in the Paranormal Club

and you don't believe in ghosts?

We quit! The Paranormal Club is all yours, Jinx!

[whimpers]

[ghost voice] Goodbye, Jinx.

I'm retiring to a ghost community in Florida.

Is it over?

Seems like she moved to a better place,

that's very, very far away from here.

Congrats on making it into the club, Jinx.

Sorry there's no one else in it.

All I care about is this sick cloak I got.

Watch it flow in the wind as I walk away.

[inhales] Is it flowing?

Not anymore.

[upbeat musical transition]

[tense music playing]

You know, I was warned there were some new supes in town.

Are you working with the team that's been taking down

the Mastermind's villains?

Sure am. And I'm gonna take down you

as soon as I get out of this junk!

Ow! Why do I keep doing that?

[loud thud]

[panting]

Alright, Kitty Klaw! Time to take you down!

[groans] But first, can I get a glass of water?

[cat-like screeching]

[grunting]

Ah!

Yeah. It's like a shock collar.

Goes off when you try to use your powers.

You didn't think to tell me?

I thought about it.

Now, behind this door are some hungry cheetahs

waiting to be released.

[roaring and snarling]

Now, usually, I wouldn't give my sweeties

a snack this close to dinnertime,

but they're extra hungry today.

[roaring and snarling]

[Kitty Klaw giggling]

-[beep] -Once that timer goes off,

the door will open and my pets will do to you

what they did to that turkey leg. [giggles]

Why waste your time with a timer?

-Max! -Uh, you know what?

I'm okay with a timer.

Well, I hate to run,

but Mastermind needs me to hit another bank.

Apparently building a new Villain League is expensive.

He's gonna put a pool in the hideout!

[cat-like screech]

[cheetahs roaring]

We're about to be cheetah kibble,

so now would be a great time to apologize.

Go ahead. I'm listening.

I'm talking about you!

[cheetahs roaring]

[suspenseful music playing]

[heroic music playing]

Oh, good. You guys are okay.

Bro, you're super speeding again!

Thanks to you. I thought about what you said,

and you're right. I do need to be a hero.

Max actually got through to you?

It happens, Phoebe.

[heroic music playing]

[cat-like screech]

Oh, another superhero, I see.

Now the claws are really coming out.

Oh, great. I'm allergic to cats.

[cat-like screech]

Oh, you're fast. But I'm faster!

[cat-like screech]

You're a bad kitty!

I'm gonna super-slap you into next week! [grunts]

[grunts]

-[alarm blaring] -[cheetahs roaring]

Max, the door!

[grunting]

[Kitty Klaw screeches]

Is this next week?

Get back over here, cat toy.

I'm not a toy! I'm a Billy!

[cat-like screech]

It's so blurry. Who's winning?

It's Billy! No, it's Kitty Klaw. I don't know. I can't tell!

[cat-like screech]

[epic music playing]

[Kitty Klaw screeching]

[grunts] My own device doesn't work on me.

-[zapping] -Ow! Yes, it does.

You did it! Thanks, Billy.

You're welcome, Chloe.

[upbeat musical transition]

Billy, you didn't bring any bags with you.

-Whose stuff is that? -Not sure.

Just felt like the right thing to do.

Well, we wanted to thank you for helping us out with Kitty Klaw.

Yeah. We could not have done that without you.

You're an amazing supe, Billy.

Hey, we should celebrate.

Who wants to get me hot cocoa from Switzerland?

I'll get it.

Where's Max?

I left him in Switzerland. Cheers!

-To Billy! -To Billy!

I'm Billy!
