Capture the Flag Page #4

Synopsis: Mike Goldwing, a plucky, determined 12-year old boy, is the son and grandson of NASA astronauts. His grandfather Frank, a once revered, but now forgotten retired astronaut, lives his days isolated from his family after missing out on his big chance to fly to the moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin as a part of the Apollo XI mission. When an eccentric billionaire sets an evil plan to fly to the moon, steal the moon's vast mineral resources, and destroy the American flag planted by the Apollo XI team, Mike embarks on a magnificent adventure as a stowaway on the space shuttle. Accompanied by his grandfather, best friends Amy and Marty, and a clever chameleon, Mike blasts off to the moon to capture the flag and reunite his family.

The rocket will take off without

its crew and get lost in the void.

"Perfect. 'Sayonara', Ms President".

Don't move!

What the...?

Engines 1 and 2, activated!

What?!

Eh...

All engines are on?

What have you done?

Uh?

Can you help us open this?

Impossible,

it's blocked!

Mission control, do you copy?

"Frank Goldwing speaking."

"We're trapped in

the Apolo Module".

What a night...

Another one like this

and I quit.

- Calm down.

There won't be more surprises

before take off.

Wait a minute...

Have you seen that, Jack?

- Doesn't make any sense.

The spacecraft was

to take off in 10 hours!

Call Goldwing!

Hey, you there!

Don't move!

This place is off-limits!

What happened?

- Don't get anxious, but...

The system has been sabotaged.

We can't stop it.

It's your...

Cool, isn't it?

Wait, Scott!

Hello, Mr. Gold...

Silence!

...wing.

Mission Control here.

What are you doing in there, Captain?

I was taking care of

a couple of stowaways...

"when the hatch got locked."

- Stowaways?

Captain, what are you doing?

Ah!

Frank, who's over there?

I found your son and his girlfriend

inside the capsule.

Huh?

What...?

Girlfriend?

Excuse me?

She's not my girlfriend!

I don't want a girlfriend!

How could he believe that?

"Don't care about girls."

That's what I was trying to say.

- We're just friends.

Enough is enough!

Mike! What are you doing there?!

I just wanted to break

the curse of our family!

Curse? Which curse?

What are you talking about?

We don't have time for arguing.

We have two options:

going to the Moon or ejecting!

That would be the end of the mission!

Yes?

- "Sir,"

we've been sabotaged.

They won't believe

who's behind this...

Stop Carson,

don't let him take off.

"To all units,

stop Richard Carson."

"Stop Carson."

Done. Let's go, Gigs.

One minute left until launching.

Captain,

activate the eject mechanism.

Please!

We must get rid of the curse!

Captain, activate it now!

"Captain? Captain?

Captain, what's going on?"

I'm afraid the mechanism

has been sabotaged as well.

In that case,

we only have one option left...

We're going to the Moon.

That's the first thing

we've agreed on in 40 years.

Let the launch start.

Confirm if you're ready.

Eecom! Fido!

- Ready.

GNC! Retro!

- Ready.

So we're setting off, Captain?

Call me "Commander".

Ready for launching.

CAP COM!

- Ready.

Doctor!

- Ready.

Guidance!

- More than ready.

Green light!

No, no, no, no!

I can't stay here!

I have to get out of here!

My parents will kill me!

This is a one in a lifetime chance!

You'll be the first woman

to be on the Moon!

Stop chitchatting, kids,

and put your suits on.

Everything's ready

for take-off, sir.

We're setting off, Daddy!

One rule!

I break one single rule in my life...

and I end up in a rocket

heading to the Moon. Cool!

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have a mission to accomplish.

"Commander, let's take that flag

before Carson destroys it."

And remember,

failure is not an option.

Excuse me...

Mmm, sir...

Oh, has anyone seen my lizard?

Igor!

Ignition sequence.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six...

Engines running."

Let's put out a great show.

Three,

"two, one..."

"Launching!"

"We've taken off at 10 hours,"

23 minutes and 17 seconds!

Yay!

Ah!

Yeeha!

An old man and two kids?

The crew of Saturn Five are...

an old man and two kids?

Yes, Ms. President...

But that's not all...

Go on.

Carson has developed a system

to extract Helium 3 from the Moon.

Helium 3 is

the most powerful source of energy

known to date.

- Now it all makes sense.

He's deceived the world

and sabotaged our rocket

with the only goal of becoming

the most powerful man on Earth.

Ms. President, we can fire

some missiles to get rid of him.

Calm down, Admiral.

If we arrive before he does,

we'll prove he's a liar.

We need that flag,

and this old man and these kids

are our only hope.

Oh...

It's amazing...

Impressive.

Mind-blowing!

Hey!

"Marty, are you there?"

Wah!

Hello. Mission Control here.

Is Igor with you?

Affirmative. He's perfectly fine.

Got it. The engineers

have fixed the system.

Now we have

control over the flight.

Scott, tell me it's a joke.

Sam, I don't know how it could...

- Tell me our son...

isn't inside that rocket!

-Calm down, calm down.

Everything's going to be fine.

"I'm sorry, Mom!"

"This is all my fault."

Oh, goodness!

Mike! Are you okay?

Yes...

I'm very sorry about this fuss.

Honey, that doesn't matter now.

Come back safely, understood?

I promise.

Mom, do I get his room?

Tess!

Oh, hello Mrs. Goldwing.

Tell my parents I won't break

the rules ever again!

I will, Amy.

Frank, for God's sake,

look after them.

Trust me.

I won't let anything happen to them.

Are you my grandpa?

Here I go, riding my spaceship...

Sir, an alert.

NASA's rocket is approaching.

What?! How's that even possible?

There's just one possible answer:

it's manned.

The sabotage failed.

Ah... I'm surrounded

by a bunch of loafers.

Alright, I'll have to take care

of this myself.

You can't do that, sir.

There's an old man and two kids in there.

So what?!

As my father said:

"Go like a rocket

and always fill your pocket"

Oh, I can't believe it.

What?

The Marty-Survival Kit.

And he was supposed to survive

just on this for three days?

What's wrong, dude?

That's the base of my diet.

Let's open one!

No, wait!

What do you bet?

I bet I'll catch more than you!

Don't even dream about it.

Oh!

Hey, that's cheating. That one was mine.

Hey!

The last one is for me.

No way!

Oh...

So just friends...

- Ah...

Hey, what was that?

Commander, what's that noise?

Something hit us.

It's trying to break through the casing.

Stay here. Don't go outside,

no matter what, understood?

I'm getting out of the capsule.

I repeat.

I'll proceed to get out of the capsule.

"What? Frank, no!"

Frank! Frank!

I don't know if he's deaf

or just the most stubborn guy in the world!

It's the latter.

Grandpa!

I must help him.

Put your helmet on, I'm going outside.

Hold on!

What are we doing about Igor?

Ready!

There I go, Grandpa!

Ah...

Darn electric spider!

Go away!

Ah! Oh!

Oh!

Yeah!

We did it, Grandpa!

You disobeyed me

and almost got killed!

I... I'm sorry. I just wanted to...

Don't ever disobey my orders.

Roger, Commander...

Ah...

Okay, we'll do it your way.

Give me an order.

Mike, help me with the bandage.

It's an order.

You saved my life.

You've been really brave.

Scott?

No, I'm Sam. Scott's sleeping.

"How are the kids doing?"

They're fine.

They're fast asleep.

They'll be back home soon.

"I promise."

- Thanks, Frank.

Samantha...

Thanks for never giving up.

I'm more grateful than you think.

Thank your grandson.

"For better or worse,

this is his doing."

Frank, enjoy the moment.

Fate owed you this journey.

Now rest.

Good night.

I just wanted our family

to be back together.

Commander,

why did you leave home?

Go back to sleep...
