Agent Cody Banks

Synopsis: A government agent trains a typical teenager Cody Banks who loves to skateboard, hates math, and feels like a complete idiot around girls, in the ways of covert operations that require younger participants. But Cody's got a secret--he's actually part of a secret teen CIA program. Cody's living every boy's dream life--he can drive like a stunt man, has an incredible arsenal of cool gadgets, and his agency mentor, Ronica Miles, is totally hot. But Cody's training is put to the test when he's sent to pose as a prep school student and befriend fellow teen Natalie Connors in order to gain access to her father--a scientist unknowingly developing a fleet of deadly pair of twisted villains called the nanobots for the evil organization ERIS, which can destroy any carbon or silicon-based substance-to destroy the world's defense systems so he can threaten anyone who opposes him. From runaway cars and high-speed snowboard chases to a spectacular final mountaintop showdown, Cody has to use everythi

Morning.

Dad, we have to discuss my allowance -

I need a raise.

Alex, buying your girlfriend more

gummi bears won't close the deal.

Like you'd know.

But Mom, Cody's almost 16

and I've had twice as many dates as him.

Sitting in a tree house

isn't exactly a date.

- It is when you're playing doctor.

- Bye!

You smell good. Did you shave?

- Don't forget your chores.

- I'll do them later.

Cody, those guinea pigs have been

sitting in excrement for days.

Alex, you play with them more than I do -

how about we trade chores?

I'll mow the lawn three times.

No way. Just cos I'm ten doesn't mean

I don't know what excrement means.

We're eating here.

Sweetie, Mommy will be right back.

My baby! My baby's in that car!

Somebody stop that car!

Unlock the door!

Hey, kid! Get out the way!

Next time, please stick with a tricycle.

Sweetie, it's OK.

- What happened?

- Some kid stopped it.

Dr. Connors, we've given you

a great deal of money.

We expect results.

If you gentlemen would step this way,

please? Gather round.

Imagine we're somewhere in Alaska

and an oil tanker runs aground.

What do we get?

An oil spill, one of the most serious

threats to nature.

A calamity that could take generations

for sea life to recover.

But wait-what's this?

Look who's coming.

The nanobots.

Lovely.

Baby seals everywhere

will praise your name, Doctor.

So, is that real oil, Connors?

Oh, yeah.

Here's a sample.

You can test it if you want.

Can they be programmed

to eat anything other than oil?

Theoretically they could break down

any silicon- Or carbon-based compound.

- You have ten days.

- What?

- That's impossible.

- He said you have ten days.

We have our own agenda, Doctor.

- That's impossible.

- Goodbye, Dr. Connors.

He still has no idea

what we hope to achieve.

Let's keep it that way, Franois.

- I told you no ice. Here.

- I'm sorry, sir.

You never know how long

it's been in the freezer,

could be filled with all kind of crap.

This is Dr. Albert Connors.

The world's foremost expert in

nanotechnology-microscopic robots.

These robots could be programmed

to destroy our most vital communication

and military infrastructure.

I'm talking missile guidance systems,

boats, tanks,

planes, biological and...

We get the point. Before we lost contact,

Agent Bolivar confirmed that Connors

is working with E.R.I.S.

This is probably my last transmission.

I think they're onto me.

Don't send any more agents -

everyone has been compromised.

I'd better transmit images now.

This is yesterday

at the E.R.I.S. covert conference

where Dr. Connors demonstrated

his latest advancements.

And this is Dr. Brinkman, head of E.R.I.S.

And this, Franois Molay, his henchman.

As far as I understand it, they plan...

We need to know what they're planning.

The problem is,

Connors is very reclusive.

After his wife died two years ago, Connors

dropped out of public view.

His only contact with the outside world is

through his daughter Natalie.

I wanna get close to this girl.

McAllister,

brief the staff

on the Agent Development Program.

Under the guise of an elite summer camp,

we began to recruit.

Welcome to

the Agent Development Program.

Since 1987, and under strict secrecy,

the CIA has recruited juvenile agents

the nation over.

As soon as we received word that

a potential candidate had been spotted,

we brought them into our facilities

under the guise of summer camps.

Their parents had no idea

of their real activities.

They were expertly trained

in combat, defense,

navigation and, of course,

explosives defusion.

Our juvenile agents

are stationed all over the nation.

They meticulously maintain

the facades of normal childhoods

as they await their call for duty.

Wait, wait, wait.

You're telling me we're training

children to become agents?

Teenagers.

Look, let's be clear about this -

this may be our last best chance.

These kids operate alone?

No, that would be irresponsible.

One of our most impressive agents. Lives

not far from Natalie Connors.

Smart, resourceful,

and, according to my reports,

he's quite a lady-killer.

Do you...?

Hi, Cody.

Are you in special ed?

Hi, Cody!

Do you think, Amy, that...

Friday night we...

Cody, I need to study,

so why don't you go jump off a cliff

or something?

Cody Banks.

You want him?

She wants Cody.

Quiet! Or you'll all be in trouble.

- You, come with me.

- Why?

Hey, I wanna be in trouble.

Since you're on the business

of taking towels, take mine too.

Could you hold this, please? Thank you.

I really hate it...

when people talk back.

Thank you. Let's go.

Who are you? What did I do?

Mary had a little lamb,

its fleece as white as snow.

Peter Piper picked a peck

of pickled peppers.

Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish.

How many pieces do you wish?

This is what happens when you design

a code book at summer camp!

So I'm being called up?

My country needs me?

- Yep.

- Where are we going?

The Middle East? Russia? China?

Downtown Seattle.

I'm in! My first mission!

Didn't think it would happen this soon?

Plus, I didn't think my partner was...

Let's get one thing straight,

I am not your partner.

I'm your handler.

Like in the zoo.

You will speak only when spoken to,

you will follow orders without question.

If you're lucky, you might...

How did you get in here?

There's no school tour today.

I'm not on a school tour. I'm an agent.

I just came from basketball practice,

I left my ID in my other clothes.

- I'm with Ronica Miles.

- You wish!

Here he is.

Sir, I've apprehended a trespasser.

It was a bit of a struggle.

- What's your name?

- Rosychuk.

Come here, Rosychuk.

You know, you've just apprehended

the most important kid in America!

Mr. Banks, this way, this way.

What was he thinking?

You got agent written all over you.

It's in the eyes.

You got it, kid. Come on.

Welcome to the CIA.

So you like the Sonics? What about

front-row seats for the play-offs?

We've prepared a briefing

to explain nanobots to you.

Yeah, I know them.

Tiny weapons, giant potential.

Micro-devices built up of compounds

of polymer cobalt and gold,

or constructed with multiple fullerene

complexes called buckysomes,

universal assemblers

that can bond circuits,

with the most impressive tests

having been conducted

at Sweden's Lintzerpein University.

I guess we can move on.

Let's turn to Natalie Connors.

Natalie Connors, 15 years old.

Hair blonde, eyes brown.

Likes horses-preferably Arabians -

pistachio ice cream, turquoise jewelry,

and TS Eliot.

Learn everything you can about

this girl. I want you to get close to her.

That's my mission?

I have to get close to her?

Yes. Insinuate yourself into her life.

It is imperative you find out what

her father and E.R.I.S. are planning.

We'll help.

We've placed you in all of her classes.

All of them? Isn't that a little creepy?

Creepy?

We're the CIA, that's what we do. Right?

You want me to become her boyfriend?

It's simple. Natalie has a birthday soon.
