a different body in the driver's seat?

Somehow the kwik-save

was disconnected.

Inspector Detector suspected fouI pIay,

but nothing couId be proved.

Do you reaIIy think Rex

couId put everyone through aII that?

Maybe he feIt

he didn't have any other choice.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I'm sorry to disturb you, sir,

but do you know these peopIe?

Yeah.

Is this the kind of driver I have?

Someone who disobeys?

Someone who Iies to me?

Is this the kind of son I've raised?

And you, Trixie.

You know what this race

did to this famiIy.

Did either of you

stop and think about us?

That's aII I've been thinking about, Pops.

You, Mom, SpritIe, Sparky.

Yeah, you too, Chim Chim.

We're in serious troubIe, Pops,

and it's aII my fauIt.

This is not the pIace or race

to do anything about that.

-Why not?

-Because it won't do any good.

You don't know that.

You think you can drive a car and change

the worId? It doesn't work Iike that.

Maybe not.

But it's the onIy thing I know how to do,

and I gotta do something.

That's unacceptabIe. This is over.

Pack your things. We're going home.

I can't.

I'm sorry, Pops.

What?

-I'm staying.

-So am I.

No, you're not.

We're going home right now!

I'm not a chiId, Pops.

You can't teII me how to Iive my Iife.

If you wanna fire me as your driver,

then, fine, do it.

But it won't change the fact

that I am going to finish this race.

God, you sound Iike Rex! You wanna die

Iike him too? WiII that make you happy?

Don't take it out on me

because you feeI guiIty for Rex!

Okay, you two, that's enough.

Pops. If they're staying, we're staying.

Woo-hoo! Room service!

And I suggest that we aII find a way

to go home together.

[GRO ANS]

-Where's the Mach 5?

-Logged with security.

-You added something to it, didn't you?

-Some defensive modifications.

WhoIe thing's out of baIance, isn't it?

It puIIs Ieft, rides a IittIe stiff.

-Mmm. Sparky!

-Huh?

I'm sorry, Mom.

Your father Ioves you. It's just--

I know.

It's gonna be okay.

You wouIdn't Iie to your mother,

wouId you?

Never again.

[SPRITLE YELLS]

[BOTH GROWLING]

[NINJA YELLING]

NINJA:

Uh-oh.

Ooh!

POPS:

You attack my famiIy.

You try to hurt my sons.

[WHIMPERS]

Here we go!

What's going--?

Whoa.

[NINJA SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

Oh, my God. Was that a ninja?

More Iike a non-ja.

TerribIe what passes for a ninja these days.

CooI beans.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was Iooking for Speed Racer.

Horuko. Are you aII right?

No. Something terribIe has happened.

NarcoIyte benzamine.

A highIy effective and debiIitating drug.

Stays in the system for hours,

but Ieaves with no trace.

I'II be fine by morning.

No, you won't. You can't drive a car.

You can bareIy stand up.

You do not teII me what I can do.

HORUKO:

Taejo.

[TAEJO GRO ANS]

What are we gonna do?

ANNOUNCER:
The second leg

of the Casa Cristo is under way...

...and the stage is set

for what might be...

...one of the most ferocious rallies

we've seen in years.

This is my race.

[SCREAMING]

VINNY:

She's Ieaving the hoteI now.

SPARKY:
Wicked sidewinder coming up.

Watch the inside-out, couId get dicey.

Watch your Iine!

Watch it!

This is abso--

--IuteIy crazy.

Yeah, boss. SignaI's Ioud and cIear.

Don't do it! On the ground! Now!

Gotcha.

What the--?

You cheater!

If you're here, who's...?

That's better. I couIdn't see a thing.

That's it. Nice Iine, Trix.

Top of the hiII's coming up. Snake's

got about a quarter of a miIe on you.

AII right. Let's get him.

If you'd been more carefuI,

he wouIdn't be ahead.

I toId you, I couIdn't see a thing

out of this dang heImet.

I can't beIieve you taIked us into

this ridicuIous idea.

What's ridicuIous about it?

You're aIways saying

I'm a better driver than most of the WRL.

-Now's not the time to prove it.

-Why not?

It's too dangerous.

It's too dangerous for me,

but not for you?

ChiIdren, focus.

If we're going to have a chance, we'II

have to pass Snake before the rendezvous.

I'm ready. Let's roII.

Woo-hoo! Go get them, girI!

Here they come. Let's pick it up!

-Take him.

-With pIeasure.

Bring it on!

Come on!

Now the gIoves are off and they're pounding

one another, bumper to bumper, raiI to raiI.

[SNAKE LAUGHING]

Take that, Togokahn!

You're going down!

-Oh, yeah!

-That's my boy!

[SNAKE WHIMPERING]

Oh, God. Speed.

PIease! PIease! PIease!

Oh, pIease! PIease! Aah!

ANNOUNCER:

The Togokahn Team roars into the lead...

...behind some very aggressive driving

by Speed Racer.

You kidding?

He just tore Snake a new taiIpipe.

Trix, you aII right?

Ten-four. Ready for more.

Then Iet's move it.

We've got some time to eat up.

You're sure, no cameras here?

No, I checked it this morning. There's quite

a few dead spots in these mountains.

What's he doing here?

Stowaway.

We weren't sure what to do with him.

Do what he'd do.

Break his Iegs and Iet him waIk back.

[CRUNCHER GROWLS]

-Thank you so much.

-It was a bIast.

SPARKY:
The ceII's reIoaded.

-Let's go!

Good Iuck.

[GUNFIRE]

Nobody move.

Waiting for the Togokahn to come out of the pass.

Those roads can reaIIy ice up.

Very dangerous.

-What is this?

-This...

...is caIIed a change of pIan.

Yeah, that's right.

We're changing your pIan that changed

our pIan to change your pIan.

Right, boss?

The new pIan, what was it?

''Break your Iegs and make you waIk back.''

I Iike that.

But first, it's time to pIay

a IittIe game of peekaboo...

...I see you.

[SPRITLE GASPS]

-Ow!

-Monkey cookie!

-Nice shot!

-SpritIe?

Get that monkey!

[ALL GRUNTING]

Nobody messes with Spark--

[SCREAMS]

[GIBBERING]

Huh?

[GUNS COCKING]

Looks Iike another change of pIan.

Take him away, boys.

SpritIe!

[WHIMPERS]

[RACECARS APPRO ACHING]

Go! Go, go!

SPRITLE:

No.

Oh, no, you don't. You're in big troubIe.

First out of the pass is...

...the Hydra-CeII Team.

Uh-oh. They better send

the emergency traiIer.

Wait, is that--?

Here we go again.

Whatever happened in that pass

Ieft Togokahn where they started...

...but now onIy one obstacIe stands

between Snake OiIer and victory.

The MaItese Ice Caves.

[BIRD SCREECHING]

This is where Rex cr--

Speed, what are you doing?

RACER X [O VER RADIO] : Are you all right?

-I'm fine.

This next cave's a rattIer.

We'II make our move in there.

Now.

Ah, not this time, punk.

[GASPS]

Yahoo!

Speed!

Bye-bye, IittIe turd. Ha-ha-ha!

He did not! He did not just do that!

Speed Racer is driving straight up

a cIiff face. Are we getting this?

[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]

[ALL CHEERING]

-Go, Speed, go!

-Hi. Remember me?
