Animorphs (1998) s01e02 Episode Script

My name is Jake.
That's all I can tell you.
I can't tell you my last name or where I live because the controllers are everywhere.
How you doing? Nice day.
They could be anyone.
They could be you.
Work faster! There can be no sign that the andalite was ever here.
Come on.
What's taking so long? Well, we didn't expect this much debris.
There's just, well there's a thousand pieces.
I told you I wanted this cleaned up by now.
Look, we only need a couple more hours.
Hello.
.
are you looking for Cassie? Uh.
Yeah.
She's around here somewhere.
I'm Cassie's mom.
I haven't seen you before.
That's Tobias.
He just moved here.
Hi Aisha.
Hi.
Hi Marco.
It must be cool, living on a preserve.
Well life is certainly never dull.
Here you go, home sweet home.
Wow, he's beautiful.
His mother was shot by a poacher.
We hatched him and raised him.
I'll bet he misses her.
He probably never even knew her.
That's right.
Hi.
- Hi Jake.
Is Cassie around? You know, she's probably up at the house.
I'll send her down.
Come here.
I just went by the You guys be careful.
Those animals are wild.
I don't want to have to sew any fingers back on.
I just went by the plant.
It's crawling with controllers, and there were cops.
But if there were cops? Duh.
The cops are controllers too.
- At least some of them.
What if they saw you? - They didn't.
If the police are controllers, what else: teachers, government, newspapers, tv? TV? Not tv! What? That disk that Elfangor tried to give you.
Do you have any idea where you might have dropped it? I didn't drop it! I never even touched it.
- We got to find it.
With all those controllers, we can't exactly sneak back into the plant.
No, but we could go back as animals.
Shouldn't we wait for Cassie? Yeah, what's taking her so long anyways? I think we all need to be here for this.
She better not flake.
Who you calling a flake? Cassie? - Yeah it's me.
It's amazing.
- Man! Really? Yo, she's lost it.
No she hasn't.
When I want you to hear me, I can direct the thought speak to you.
Oh Cass, that's disgusting.
Eew.
.
gross.
.
- Oh man! That is gross.
I'm going to throw up.
It's getting smoother.
- That's smoother? That was harsh.
We'll have to get used to that.
You guys, it was so awesome.
I mean I was a horse.
I was powerful and fast.
Weren't you scared? - I sure was.
So was I at first, but.
.
I started to run and I forgot all about being scared.
Okay.
.
who's next? I'll go.
- Surprise, surprise.
Hey kitty.
Touch it.
Whoa.
.
what's that? That's it.
Now you've acquired the cat's DNA.
Now concentrate.
Think about it.
Think about being a cat.
and you'll morph.
Is it happening? I feel weird.
Yes Yes She's ignoring you.
- Of course, she's a cat.
Rachel, are you okay? Don't bother me.
I feel very, very cool.
.
Way to go Rach.
Alright Marco, it's your turn.
Come on man.
.
- Look, I say we forget it.
We don't mention it and we don't morph.
Marco.
.
I halfway agree with you but - This isn't some dumb video game.
We could get killed.
You saw what happened to that andalite.
Don't you get it? This is for real.
You don't even know what reality is.
Nothing bad's ever happened to you.
You have this perfect family like I used to have.
Marco I I know.
Well go on, say it.
You can say it.
My mom's dead and that's reality.
You can all think whatever you want if something bad was to happen to me, my dad would lose it.
No one's asking you to risk your life right now.
I mean learning to morph might be the one thing that can save your life.
That's right.
I mean the yeerks are a reality for us now.
Your dad might freak if you weren't around.
I think he'd freak out even more if you had a yeerk in your brain.
Come on Marco.
It's okay.
Really.
Alright.
All right.
But I get to choose which animal.
Okay, as you can see we've got a wide selection from the animal kingdom.
We have our medium sized animals and we have our cuter ones.
Why don't we start off small, and work our way up? Maybe one of these.
I always wanted a rat.
Just never thought I'd be one.
Marco meet Bitsy, Bitsy meet Marco.
You know the drill right? - Touch it and think about the rat.
It's acquired.
Now concentrate.
Make it stop! What? Am I a rat? I'd say you were a rat man.
I can't do it.
I dare you.
Give me the stupid rat.
You don't need to.
It's already acquired.
Remember, touch, acquire, concentrate and change.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rachel, no! - Rachel, it's me! Control Rachel.
Control the animal mind.
Control, you can't eat Marco.
You guys, you have to control the animal brain.
Whoa.
.
okay.
.
I think I'm in control now.
Run, run, run, run.
Marco, are you in control? Rachel, Marco, change back now.
Okay, I'm coming back.
Whew.
.
that was wild.
Oh man.
.
I feel like I ate a couple pounds of coffee.
It was like having two minds: one animal and one human.
And they're fighting each other.
The human mind is stronger.
We just have to learn how to focus.
- It's not easy.
No kidding.
I just wanted to sink my teeth into your soft furry rat neck.
That's what all the girls say.
We got to be careful though guys.
That's right.
Elfangor said no more than two hours.
We have to remember why we're doing this.
It's to help us fight the yeerks.
Thanks for reminding me perrito.
- You're welcome rat man.
Alright, we've all done it.
- Hold on, Tobias hasn't.
I forgot about Tobias.
Sorry Tobias.
This is totally uncool.
What if he freaks and turns us all in.
He wouldn't do that.
- How do you know? We just met the guy last night.
For all we know he could be working for the yeerks right now.
If he was, he would have turned us in already.
Where could he have gone? Does anyone know where he lives? - He said he didn't have parents.
He's kind of a strange guy, that's for sure.
What if he went back for the disk without us? So.
.
what should we do? Yeah, what should we do, oh great leader? Since when am I the leader? You just are.
Well I guess.
.
uh.
.
I guess we'll have to get Elfangor's disk back first.
You're given this to me? - Don't you want it? I want it, but you said if I ever touched it again, you'd kill me.
How come you're giving it to me? I don't know.
I guess it's because you're my little sister.
Where are you going? Yeah.
- What's wrong with it? Come on dad.
Try it.
Oh thanks buddy, but you know what? I'm really not that hungry.
Come on dad, don't you want to grow up to be big and strong? Okay.
.
well look at this.
I didn't know you knew how to cook.
Man, I can cook.
I'll be right back.
What's up.
- Let's go.
We're suppose to meet up in five minutes.
Yeah I know.
Just let me grab my stuff.
You know what? Wait here.
I'll be right there.
Hey Jeremy.
I'll be back dad.
- Where are you going? Me and the guys are doing kind of a scavenger hunt.
That's too bad.
They're going to be showing the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Hey, I'll tape it for you if you show me how to program this vcr.
Hello? You're an engineer.
You can't program a vcr? You're so I'll be back pops.
Don't worry about it.
You're beautiful.
All right, let's get some of it down here.
Excuse me, but am I the only one here who can see this Hork-Bajir footprint? Will somebody fill it in before it makes the front page? Alright guys.
Let's get to it.
Any sign of Tobias? - Nothing.
Rachel, see if you can find that disk.
- Okay.
It's not the sight, so much as the sound that gets me.
Wait, you look too good to be a stray.
Wait.
Watch it Marco.
- Better.
Guys, leave me alone.
I'm just trying to help.
- Yeah, right.
Let's speed it up.
Visser Three wants this yard cleaned up tonight.
She's okay.
I found it.
Chapman's practically standing on it.
We've got to move fast.
Okay, I'll help Cassie with the paint.
Marco you ready? - Yeah.
When I give the signal, go.
Good luck guys.
I want everyone to look close to the ground.
Search the entire area.
What is it? What's that? Over here! Help! They're landing.
Over here! Help! Help! I don't see a thing.
Andalite! Follow them.
Hurry, hurry, come on! I hope this thing's worth it.
Dig Jake, dig.
I have to tell Visser Three.
Hurry Jake.
They're here.
Go Jake, go, go! - I got it.
Hurry Jake! - No, not that way! We're trapped.
- Over here! I've got two of them.
I smell a promotion.
Let's go Rachel, run! That was too close.
Keep running until we get to the woods.
The controllers are all over this place.
Come on guys, it's gotta be over here.
I think we lost them.
You got it? You got the disk? We got it.
We got the disk.
Yes.
The controllers are still back there waiting for the andalites.
It worked.
That was great Cass.
Hey, look.
Hi.
You saved us.
We didn't know what happened to you.
Thanks.
And you'd do the same for me right? We thought you were a controller.
Why did you disappear? Why didn't you tell us you acquired the hawk? I don't know.
- We were all scared.
Yeah, but, I guess I was a bit scared that maybe I'd like it too much.
I know what you mean.
Well thanks.
We would have been dead meat without you.
Where's the disk? Wow.
- Weird.
You think it works in a computer? Maybe it's a weapon.
Maybe we could try it out on Jake's computer.
We gotta make sure nobody see it.
OK.
I'll keep it overnight and we'll try it tomorrow.
All right? Yeah, sure.
Cool.
Well I gotta go believe it or not, I got an algebra test tomorrow.
Yeah, I've got some homework as well.
And I've got a meet tomorrow.
Hey do the cat on the balance beam and you'll be sure to get a 10.
Cool.
My name is Jake, but I guess that doesn't matter anymore.
Hey guys wait up! Five normal kids against and army of ruthless alien slugs those yeerks don't know what they're in for.
