Return From Witch Mountain Page #2

All right.

It's just that

I've got to find my brother.

What gang does he belong to?

- He doesn't belong to any gang.

- [boys snicker]

I never heard of a Guy

that never belonged to a gang.

I'm sure something's happened.

I've got to find him.

If anybody could find him,

we could.

I mean, we know

this town inside out.

Oh, would you?

Hey, yeah, sure.

Listen, you done us a big favor,

now we'll do it for you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Hey, come on, let's go.

That Tony sure

made himself scarce.

- We better walk you home.

- Where do you live?

I... I was supposed to

stay at a hotel.

But I don't know

which one.

You could stay

in our hideout.

- [boys] yeah!

- Thank you.

We'll look

for Tony tomorrow.

If we aren't busy

beating up goons.

- Yeah.

- Hey, it's yo-yo.

- Get down.

- Come on, hide.

- Did he see us?

- I don't know.

- But he's coming this way.

- [Tia] who is he?

- [muscles] our worst enemy.

- He's worse than the goons.

[Rocky] he's Mr. Yokomoto,

the truant officer.

He's trying to make us

go back to school.

[dazzler] let's go.

[all] yeah!

That's our hideout.

[stairs creaking]

[Tia] when do

the ghosts get here?

[Rocky] don't say things

like that.

This place could

really scare ya.

[gasps]

Come on.

This is where we're gonna live

when we run away from home.

Yeah, you can't be tough

If you take orders from

your mom or older sister.

That's why

we quit school.

You can't be tough

and educated, too.

[crusher] yeah.

- Tony!

- [boys] where?

I had a contact with him.

You...

You calling on the spirits?

Shh.

- She's weird.

- She's creepy.

I... I ain't too sure

I wanna meet this Tony.

Shh!

Tony, where are you?

He's coming in again.

I can only see a light.

That's all.

Now it's... Going black.

Now it's... Completely gone.

[machines beeping]

He's doing that?

He's projecting a magnetic field

through his reflexes

As he struggles

to regain consciousness.

His output is so great,

That my machines aren't

even capable of measuring it.

But he's dangerous.

Once I have control

of his brain, Letha,

He will only

be dangerous to others.

I hope you realize that

kidnapping's a criminal offense.

My experiments are more

important than the law, Letha.

With these receptors

placed on certain people,

Combined with

this boy's powers,

I could become one of the most

influential men in the world.

Oh, you are absolutely

brilliant, professor.

Now we can go ahead

with my plans, too.

Don't bother me with your plans.

They're empty, unimportant.

A comment, perhaps, on you and

the life you've been leading.

Now, you look here,

Doctor, professor,

physicist. Whatever you are.

I built this laboratory

for you at great expense.

I used every penny I had.

Now, we've made a lot of plans

and I won't let you upset them.

I want some money. Fast.

Letha, we are

worlds apart.

My mind is filled

with large concepts.

Mankind, the universe.

You only worry about

the horse that's

running in the third race.

Sure, I gamble...

...But with my own money.

You're the worst

kind of gambler.

You use

other people's money

And want to keep all

the winnings for yourself.

Well, you can be sure

of one thing, Victor.

I'll be around to pick up

the chips with you.

- [wires pop and sizzle]

- [Tony moans]

[panting]

[grunting]

We'll be back in the morning

with maps and breakfast.

I'll bring an egg

from my refrigerator.

And I'll bring some

day-old bread.

- I'll bring some milk for you.

- Thank you.

- You're good friends.

- That's the trouble with us.

We don't want to be good.

We want to be bad.

Yeah.

Hey, uh, let's go, you guys.

My mom's gonna yell at me.

[crusher] see you tomorrow,

Tia.

[muscles] we'll find Tony

tomorrow for sure.

[Rocky] let's stay close

together on the way out, guys.

[sighs]

Good.

This is

professor Gannon...

...Commanding you

to awaken.

[indistinct shouting]

Tony!

He's in some kind of a room.

Like a hospital.

With machines

and instruments and things.

Oh, that's easy.

All we have to do

is check all the hospitals.

While we going around

looking for a fight.

Come on.

[victor] you will now function

exclusively under control.

You will no longer

think independently.

All thinking and reasoning

will be done

By the voice

that commands you.

Do you understand?

- Yes.

- What is your name?

- Tony.

- Where are you from?

Witch mountain.

Sounds like

some hick town to me.

How did you suspend

Mr. Sickle in mid-air?

By energizing matter.

Do you mean to say that

you can control molecular flow?

Yes, sir.

- How did you learn to do this?

- I was born with the ability.

I wish to see a demonstration

of molecular flow.

You are strapped

to the table.

Unbuckle yourself

and sit up.

Power has come

into our hands

Which is centuries

before its time.

We must use it wisely.

Well, what can

you have him do?

Other than go around making

people's belts unbuckle.

The possibilities are unlimited.

Oh, come on. It's just

some gimmick, that's all.

Tony...

Mr. Sickle,

whose life you saved,

Doesn't seem

to believe in you.

Mr. Sickle

needs convincing, Tony.

[knob squeaks]

[gas hissing]

Hey, come on.

Hey, get back!

Get back! Get back!

Don't.

[grunting]

get back!

[goat bleats]

I can see how that'd be a big

hit at a scientific convention.

But the bottom line is,

how do we make money with it?

[goat bleats]

I will demonstrate

an industrial application.

Come with me, Tony.

[gas continues to hiss]

Now, Tony,

those wine casks...

Stack them... Neatly.

Two glasses

of burgundy, please.

To molecular

mobilization.

To molecular capitalization.

- [goat bleats]

- [gas hisses]

[muscles] hey,

got any more clues?

No.

Nothing at all.

It's so strange.

We've been to every hospital

and he's in none of them.

It's like

his mind's a blank.

He probably

conked out somewhere.

- Don't listen to him.

- We'll find Tony for sure.

Yeah, we'll turn

the town upside down.

Yeah.

- [sickle] what're you doing?

- [Letha] thinking.

Thinking about us in

a different place, such as...

Las Vegas...

...With Tony.

Seven or eleven

every time, right?

A day at the races.

All the long shots

come in.

[laughs] you do have

an imagination, after all.

The possibilities

with Tony are unlimited.

For example, he stacked the wine

casks by just looking at them.

If he can stack them,

he can unstack them.

The gold is on display

at the museum.

Protected by an impenetrable

security system.

Just sitting there

waiting for us...

...To penetrate it.

Wait a minute. Us?

You mean Gannon said it's ok

to use the control on Tony?

Professor Gannon is

extremely busy being a genius.

I own half the invention,

Half of Tony, that means

I own half of the profits.

So far, the return on

my investment has been

half of zero.

What about security. We'd

need an army to pull it off.

We'll have an army with us!

Tony.

[chuckles]

Tony?

Tony?
