I NEED TO SEE YOU...PLEASE.
[ CLICK ]
[ RUMBLE ]
[ DOORS CREAK ]
>> SO, UM, I'LL MEET YOU GUYS AT
THE LIBRARY AFTER DINNER.
ABOUT 7:30?
>> YOU BETTER.
IF I DON'T GET A "B" ON MY
NEXT --
[ GASPS ]
>> AAH!
>> [ MOANING ]
>> Max: YOU CAN'T GO IT ALONE.
BY NOW YOU'RE PROBABLY MEETING
SOME OF THE OTHER PLUMBERS'
KIDS, BUT YOU HAVE TO FIND
MORE.
YOU NEED TO PUT TOGETHER A
TEAM.
[ BEEP ]
IF YOU FOUND THIS MESSAGE, YOU
MUST BE IN PRETTY DEEP.
THERE'S A LOT I CAN'T REVEAL
YET, BUT HERE'S ONE THING I
CAN -- YOU CAN'T GO IT ALONE.
BY NOW YOU'RE PROBABLY MEETING
SOME OF THE OTHER PLUMBERS'
KIDS, BUT YOU HAVE TO FIND
MORE.
>> Kevin: [ SLURPS ]
THINK WE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT
HIM?
HE'S BEEN WATCHING THAT THING
FOR HOURS.
[ SLURPS ]
PROBLEM?
>> Gwen: WHY HAVEN'T YOU ASKED
ME OUT?
>> Kevin: WHAT?!
>> Gwen: YOU HEARD ME.
WE SPEND ALL OF OUR TIME
TOGETHER, AND YOU OBVIOUSLY LIKE
ME.
>> Kevin: [ SCOFFS ]
>> Gwen: YOU DO.
I SEE YOU MOONING AT ME WHEN YOU
THINK I'M NOT LOOKING.
>> Kevin: MOONING?
>> Gwen: AND I LIKE YOU --
MOST OF THE TIME.
SO I'M ASKING YOU AGAIN.
>> Kevin: SEE?
THAT'S THE PROBLEM -- YOU'RE
ASKING ME.
A GUY DOES THE ASKING.
>> Gwen: YEAH? WHEN?
>> Kevin: DON'T PUSH ME.
>> Gwen: [ Mockingly ] DON'T
PUSH ME.
>> Kevin: BEN.
>> Max: THERE'S A LOT I CAN'T
REVEAL YET.
YOU CAN'T GO IT ALONE.
>> Kevin: YOU KNOW, MY DOG USED
TO GNAW AT A SPOT ON HIS BUTT
OVER AND OVER.
THE VET MADE US PUT A CONE
AROUND HIS NECK.
>> Max: YOU NEED TO PUT TOGETHER
A TEAM.
[ BEEP ]
>> Ben: EASY DOES IT.
I'M NOT THE ONE YOU'RE MAD IT.
>> Kevin: CUT ME A BREAK HERE.
YOU WANT TO GO FIGHT SOME ALIENS
OR SOMETHING?
>> Ben: OR SOMETHING.
LET ME SEE YOUR PLUMBER'S BADGE.
[ BEEPING ]
EACH OF THESE BLIPS SHOWS THE
LOCATION OF ANOTHER BADGE.
>> Kevin: YEP.
>> Ben: AND WHERE THERE'S A
PLUMBER'S BADGE, WE'LL FIND A
PLUMBER -- OR, AT LEAST, A
PLUMBER'S KID.
COME ON. YOU'RE DRIVING.
>> Kevin: YOU COMING?
>> Gwen: PLUMBER.
PLUMBER, PLUMBER, PLUMBER.
YOU EVER NOTICE THAT IF YOU SAY
A WORD ENOUGH TIMES, IT LOSES
ITS MEANING?
LIKE A CHANCE TO ASK SOMEONE
OUT.
EVERY TIME THAT CHANCE COMES
ALONG, IT HAS LESS AND LESS
MEANING, UNTIL YOU DON'T HAVE
THE CHANCE ANYMORE AT ALL.
>> Kevin: OH, FOR CRYING OUT
LOUD.
>> Ben: ARE YOU GUYS HAVING A
FIGHT?
[ HORN BLARES ]
>> [ GASPS ]
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
[ GROANS ]
>> Ben: GWEN!
>> Both: AAAAH!
>> Gwen: [ GRUNTS ]
>> Both: AAAAAAAH!
[ BEEP ]
>> Humongousaur: HUMONGOUSAUR!
[ GRUNTS ]
GET EVERYONE DOWN.
I CAN'T HOLD THIS TOGETHER MUCH
LONGER.
>> Gwen: THE GIRL!
>> Kevin: BEN!
>> Humongousaur: HANDS...FULL!
>> [ GASPS ]
[ HORN BLARES ]
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
>> [ GROANS ]
>> Gwen: EVERYONE'S OKAY.
>> I-I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE.
I WAS RUNNING, AND I --
[ SHUDDERS ]
>> IT'S OKAY, TRINA.
YOU'RE SAFE NOW.
THESE GUYS SAVED YOU.
>> Ben: YOUR FRIEND'S THE ONE
WHO SAVED YOU.
HE'S JUST BEING MODEST.
>> WHOEVER YOU GUYS ARE,
WHATEVER YOU ARE, THANKS.
SOMETHING STRANGE HAS BEEN
HAPPENING TO THE GIRLS AT OUR
SCHOOL LATELY.
>> Ben: GLAD TO HELP.
WE MADE A GOOD TEAM OUT THERE.
YOU'VE GOT A PLUMBER'S BADGE.
>> YEAH, MY DAD GAVE IT TO ME.
YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT THE
PLUMBERS?
>> Kevin: AT THIS POINT, WE MAY
AS WELL BE THEM.
>> Ben: I'M BEN.
THIS IS KEVIN AND MY COUSIN
GWEN.
>> WAIT.
BEN AS IN BEN TENNYSON?
I AM A HUGE FAN OF YOURS.
BUT I HEARD YOU DISAPPEARED.
I'M MIKE MORNINGSTAR.
>> Gwen: OH!
>> WOW.
THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
>> Gwen: MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE WE
BOTH HAVE POWERS?
>> THAT'S A THEORY.
>> Kevin: ANYWAY, NOW THAT WE
ALL MET...
>> I SHOULD MAKE SURE TRINA GETS
HOME OKAY.
BUT AFTER THAT, WHY DON'T WE
MEET UP AT MY PLACE AND TALK?
>> Ben: SURE.
>> Gwen: SOUNDS GOOD.
>> Kevin: CAN'T WAIT.
>> MOM AND HER NEW HUSBAND LIVE
IN THE MAIN HOUSE.
THEY LEAVE ME ALONE, LET ME DO
WHAT I WANT.
>> Ben: COOL.
>> AFTER YOU.
>> Kevin: UGH!
NICE.
>> Ben: WHAT IS ALL THIS STUFF?
>> SOME OF MY DAD'S PLUMBER'S
GEAR.
I BROUGHT IT OVER FROM HIS
HEADQUARTERS.
I COULD TAKE YOU THERE LATER IF
YOU WANT.
>> Ben: WE'D ALL LIKE TO SEE IT.
>> Kevin: IT'D MAKE MY DAY.
>> HERE -- LET ME SHOW YOU
SOMETHING.
I'M PATCHED INTO THE CENTRAL
PLUMBERS MONITORING NETWORK.
IT'S CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING --
GLOBAL AND INTERPLANETARY
INTERNET, EARTHBOUND
LAW-ENFORCEMENT FREQUENCIES --
OH, AND, OF COURSE, THE BADGE
COMMUNICATOR CHANNEL.
>> Kevin: COMMUNICATOR CHANNEL?
>> YEAH.
YOU...DID KNOW THE BADGES ARE
COMMUNICATORS, DIDN'T YOU?
>> Gwen: SO, YOU KEEP AN EYE ON
THINGS WITH THIS STUFF AND USE
YOUR POWERS TO HELP PEOPLE.
YOU'RE LIKE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD'S
VERY OWN SUPERHERO.
>> NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY,
BUT...I GUESS SO.
>> Ben: YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
THINKING?
>> Kevin: I KNOW WHAT I'M
THINKING.
>> Ben: YOU SHOULD JOIN OUR
TEAM.
>> Kevin: DON'T YOU THINK WE
SHOULD -- I DON'T KNOW -- GET TO
KNOW THIS GUY A LITTLE MORE?
>> Ben: WHAT'S TO KNOW?
HE'S GOT THE POWERS.
HE'S GOT THE GEAR.
>> Kevin: HE'S GOT A SPARKLY
TRAIL WHEN HE FLIES.
>> Ben: AND IT'S WHAT GRANDPA
TOLD US TO DO.
MY GRANDPA MAX WAS A PLUMBER,
AND HE DISAPPEARED LOOKING INTO
THIS BIG ALIEN CONSPIRACY THAT'S
GOING ON AGAINST EARTH.
WE'RE TRYING TO FIND HIM SO WE
CAN STOP IT.
WANT TO HELP?
>> I'D LOVE TO.
[ ELECTRICITY POWERS DOWN ]
[ ELECTRICITY SURGES ]
>> Kevin: FORGOT TO PAY YOUR
ELECTRIC BILL?
>> THE ELECTRICITY'S BEEN A
LITTLE UNDEPENDABLE LATELY.
NO WORRIES.
MY BACKUP GENERATOR KICKED IN.
>> Ben: THIS ISN'T A BROWNOUT.
LOOK AT THIS SPIKE IN POWER
USAGE AT THE LOCAL POWER
SUBSTATION.
THE ENERGY DRAIN IS ENORMOUS.
>> REALLY?
>> Ben: YOU SAID SOMETHING
STRANGE WAS HAPPENING IN TOWN.
THIS DEFINITELY QUALIFIES.
>> Gwen: IF YOU NEED TO CHECK IT
OUT, WE'LL HELP.
>> THANKS. WE SHOULD.
>> Gwen: [ GASPS ]
[ ELECTRICITY HUMMING ]
>> Ben: STAY SHARP.
WE'VE GOT COMPANY.
[ ELECTRICITY BUZZING ]
>> SOUNDS LIKE THAT BUZZING
SOUND YOU ALWAYS HEAR IN OLD
MONSTER MOVIES.
>> Kevin: ANY TIME YOU HEAR A
SOUND AND YOUR ONLY REFERENCE IS
MONSTER MOVIES, IT'S A GOOD IDEA
TO WALK THE OTHER WAY.
>> Ben: GOOD RULE OF THUMB.
[ BUZZING INTENSIFIES ]
>> [ GROWLS ]
>> [ MOANING ]
[ BOTH MOANING ]
>> Ben: THE GIRLS HERE -- KIND
OF WEIRD.
>> THEY'RE WEARING UNIFORMS FROM
MY SCHOOL, BUT I DON'T RECOGNIZE
THEM.
>> Ben: ENERGY BOLTS -- NICE!
>> TRY NOT TO HURT THEM!
MAYBE WE CAN REVERSE THIS...
WHATEVER IT IS.
[ ALL GROWL ]
>> Kevin: TRY NOT TO HURT THEM?
>> [ HOWLS ]
[ BEEP ]
>> Chromastone: CHROMASTONE!
THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
I'M A CONDUCTOR.
>> [ GASPS ]
[ WHEEZING ]
>> Gwen: UNH...
>> ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
>> Gwen: I DON'T KNOW.
I-I FELT WEAK FOR A SECOND.
I FEEL BETTER NOW.
>> HERE -- HOLD MY HAND.
USE MY ENERGY.
[ BOTH HISS ]
>> Kevin: AW, NICE GOING.
THEY'RE GETTING AWAY.
>> SORRY.
>> Ben: IT'S OKAY.
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.
THE IMPORTANT THING IS, WE
STOPPED THEM FROM...
DOING WHATEVER IT IS THEY WERE
DOING.
WE'LL GET BETTER AS WE WORK
TOGETHER MORE.
>> WE DO MAKE A GOOD TEAM.
>> Gwen: UH-HUH.
>> Kevin: WHAT HAPPENED JUST
NOW?
YOU LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE GONNA
FAINT.
>> Gwen: I CAN'T THANK YOU
ENOUGH FOR HELPING ME.
>> YOU COULD IF YOU HAD DINNER
WITH ME.
>> Gwen: RIGHT NOW?
>> I'M HUNGRY NOW.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
>> Gwen: I WAS JUST GONNA
SUGGEST THE SAME THING.
>> Kevin: OKAY.
WHAT IS UP WITH YOU?
YOU'VE BEEN IGNORING ME EVER
SINCE WE GOT HERE, YOU WERE
LOUSY IN THE FIGHT, AND
NOW YOU'RE JUST ACTING GOOFY.
>> Gwen: WHY ARE YOU PRETENDING
TO CARE?
LATER.
>> Kevin: YOU JUST GONNA STAND
THERE?
>> Ben: NO, I WAS GOING TO GO
SIT IN THE CAR.
>> Kevin: I DON'T TRUST THIS
GUY, AND I DON'T THINK YOU
SHOULD HAVE BEEN SO QUICK TO
MAKE HIM ONE OF THE TEAM.
>> Ben: ADMIT IT -- YOU'RE JUST
JEALOUS BECAUSE GWEN LIKES HIM.
>> Kevin: YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT'S FINE.
>> Ben: THIS IS WHY YOU CHANGED
YOUR MIND ABOUT MIKE GOING OFF
WITH GWEN -- SO WE COULD SPY ON
HIM?
>> Kevin: YEP.
>> Ben: WELL...JUST STOP!
>> Kevin: HE AIN'T RIGHT, BEN.
IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA CHECK HIM
OUT, I AM.
>> Ben: YOU'RE DOING THE WRONG
THING, KEVIN -- THE OLD-KEVIN
THING.
STEP AWAY FROM THE DOOR.
>> Kevin: YOU REALLY WANT TO
FIGHT ME OVER SOME NEW GUY?
THAT'S HOW YOU'RE GONNA BUILD A
TEAM?
[ DOOR CREAKS ]
AND THEY SAID I DIDN'T LEARN
ANYTHING IN THE NULL VOID.
>> Ben: KEVIN!
>> IS MIKE HOME?
HE HASN'T CALLED ME BACK SINCE
YOU AND THAT NEW GIRL SHOWED UP.
>> Kevin: UH, TRINA, RIGHT?
YEAH, MORNINGSTAR AIN'T HERE
RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE JUST...PICKING UP SOME
STUFF FOR HIM.
>> THEN YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS.
CAN YOU TAKE ME?
>> Ben: NO!
I MEAN...HE'S BUSY.
>> I NEED TO SEE HIM.
WHY WON'T HE SEE ME?
>> Kevin: WHERE DID YOU GET
THOSE MARKS ON YOUR ARM?
I saw those same marks on that
zombie girl that tried to
tenderize me.
>> I JUST WANT TO SEEK MIKE.
>> Kevin: YEAH, I'M GETTING
THAT.
CALL ME CRAZY, BUT IS IT
POSSIBLE MORNINGSTAR'S THE ONE
MAKING THESE GIRLS THIS WAY?
>> Ben: YOU'RE CRAZY.
>> Kevin: 'SCUSE US.
LOOK, IT DIDN'T REALLY HIT ME
TILL JUST NOW, BUT GWEN'S BEEN
WEARING HER SLEEVES LOWER THAN
USUAL.
SHE WAS HIDING SOMETHING.
>> Ben: YOU'RE SAYING GWEN HAS
MARKS LIKE THAT ON HER ARMS?
>> Kevin: I DIDN'T SEE THEM FOR
SURE, BUT IT MAKES SENSE.
>> Ben: COME TO THINK OF IT,
TRINA WAS ALL WEAK AND WOBBLY
WHEN WE FIRST SAW HER ON THE
HIGHWAY.
GWEN WAS THE SAME WAY AT THE
POWER PLANT.
GWEN MIGHT HAVE CAUGHT WHATEVER
BUG IS DOING THIS.
>> Kevin: YEAH.
AND THE BUG'S NAME IS
MIKE MORNINGSTAR.
>> I'M REALLY GLAD WE MET, GWEN.
>> Gwen: ME TOO.
>> I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING
SPECIAL ABOUT YOU THE FIRST TIME
WE MET.
>> Gwen: I FELT IT, TOO.
>> AND NOW...ALL THOSE OTHER
GIRLS MEAN NOTHING.
>> Gwen: [ GASPS ]
>> YOUR ENERGY IS LIKE NOTHING
I'VE EVER FELT BEFORE.
WHEN IT FLOWS INTO ME, I FEEL
INVINCIBLE.
FROM THE MOMENT I TOUCHED YOU,
GWEN, I KNEW I'D FOUND THE ONLY
GIRL I'D EVER NEED.
>> Ben: FACT IS, YOU'VE BEEN
AGAINST MORNINGSTAR SINCE THE
MINUTE WE MET HIM.
>> Kevin: YEAH, BUT AT FIRST, IT
WAS JUST 'CAUSE HE'S AN
ARROGANT, BRAGGING RICH KID.
>> Ben: WHO GWEN LIKES MORE THAN
SHE LIKES YOU.
>> Kevin: YEAH, SOME OF THAT,
BUT NOW GWEN'S IN TROUBLE, AND
YOU'RE TOO STUCK ON FOLLOWING
YOUR GRANDPA'S INSTRUCTIONS TO
SEE IT.
>> Ben: IF MIKE'S TURNING THOSE
GIRLS INTO CREATURES, WHY ISN'T
TRINA ONE?
>> Kevin: I DON'T KNOW!
M-MAYBE IT'S LIKE A VAMPIRE
THING.
MAYBE IT TAKES A WHILE BEFORE
THEY GO ALL-ZOMBIE.
>> Ben: ARE YOU LISTENING TO
YOURSELF?
MIKE'S BEEN HELPING US EVER
SINCE WE GOT HERE.
WHY DID HE FIGHT THEM WITH US?
>> Kevin: AH, BUT HE DIDN'T,
REMEMBER?
HE TOLD US NOT TO HURT THEM.
THEN HE ACCIDENTALLY BLASTED
INTO THE PIPES AND LET THEM GET
AWAY.
>> Ben: EVEN IF YOU'RE RIGHT, WE
DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY WENT FOR
DINNER.
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FIND HER?
>> Kevin: EASY -- WE FIND HIM.
[ BEEPING ]
THE HIGHWAY WE FOUND TRINA ON IS
THAT WAY.
SHE DIDN'T JUST WANDER OUT THERE
BY COINCIDENCE.
SHE WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM
MORNINGSTAR.
>> Ben: LET'S TAKE A BREAK FROM
THE CRAZY THEORIES AND JUST
CHECK ON GWEN, OKAY?
>> Kevin: GWEN!
>> Gwen: [ EXHALES HEAVILY ]
>> Kevin: GET AWAY FROM HER!
[ BEEP ]
>> Jetray: JETRAY!
>> GO AWAY!
GWEN'S MINE NOW.
>> Kevin: HEY!
HA!
[ GROANS ]
>> YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE.
WHY USE YOUR POWERS TO HELP
PEOPLE WHEN YOU CAN USE THEM TO
GET WHATEVER YOU WANT?
[ GIRLS MOANING ]
ALL I EVER WANTED WAS POWER.
AND THEN YOU BROUGHT ME GWEN.
>> Gwen: [ GROANS ]
>> GUESS I SHOULD THANK YOU.
I KNOW THE PERFECT THING.
>> Gwen: [ GRUNTS ]
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> Gwen: COMING TO MY SENSES.
>> STOP THIS!
AAAAAAAAAH!
UNH!
>> Gwen: KEVIN!
>> GIRLS...
COME HERE TO ME.
GIVE ME YOUR POWER.
HELP ME.
FEED ME.
[ ALL HISSING ]
>> WHAT?
WAIT! NO!
AAH! AAH!
AAAAAAH!
[ GROANS ]
>> Kevin: YOU DON'T DESERVE
THIS.
>> Ben: LISTEN, GUYS.
I'M SORRY I TOOK MORNINGSTAR'S
SIDE OVER YOURS...
AND, MORE IMPORTANT, THAT I
WASN'T WATCHING YOUR BACK.
>> Gwen: IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.
I GUESS MORNINGSTAR HAD SOME
KIND OF...CONTROL OVER ME.
>> Ben: IT WAS MY FAULT.
I WAS IN SUCH A HURRY TO BUILD
OUR TEAM, I IGNORED THE DANGER.
IF I'M GOING TO BE A GOOD
LEADER, I'M GOING TO NEED TO
SHOW BETTER JUDGMENT.
>> Kevin: IF YOU'RE GONNA BE A
GOOD LEADER, YOU NEED TO STOP
SOUNDING LIKE SUCH A JERK.
>> Gwen: KEVIN!
>> Ben: NO, THAT'S OKAY.
HE'S RIGHT -- I'M A JERK.
SO, KEVIN, WHEN YOU GONNA ASK
GWEN OUT?
