ZETA: My name is Zeta.
I was built as a weapon to destroy...
but I will not destroy anymore.
RO: Come on, let's go!
ZETA: It's Bennet. Run!
This way.
RO: Quick, Zee. Change.
ZETA: Ro, look out!
[SCREAMS]
RO: We'll get you your freedom, Zee. I know it.
Any luck getting through to Tannor yet?
He's not gonna like surprise visitors.
MAN [OVER RADIO]: Ah, still nothing. Who are they?
They're looking for some guy who helped found the place.
Said his name's Selig.
Remember, just say you're a long-lost relative or something.
Like Selig's your uncle.
Would it help if I looked like him?
Sure, if you'd thought of it before the guard saw you.
Now switch back.
GUARD: Huh?
[GRUNTING]
Dr. Tannor? Uh, sorry to bother you, sir, but your vid-com's down.
Of course it is.
Because he knows the first thing I do is call his butt in here.
Circuitry problem?
No, kid problem.
MICHAELS: Dr. Tannor. BUCKY: Let go of me.
[BUCKY GRUNTING]
He's doing it again.
Three cleaning bots are vacuuming my lab now...
bumping the tables and spoiling the calibrations.
I know. Bucky, knock it off.
[MAKES KISSING SOUND]
What is it? Are you trying to get thrown out?
No, I was trying to show you that the inductance controller works.
This baby's the ultimate remote.
You just load in any schematics and it runs the device.
- Uh, could we just...? - I know how it works, Bucky.
But you're still banned from the Innovation Awards...
because of behavior like this.
That's not the reason. You're up to something.
I know you're an imbecile...
but even you must get how cool this thing is.
- What did you say? - He said:
[IN BUCKY'S VOICE] "I know you're an imbecile...
but even you must get how cool this thing is."
- How did you...? RO: Heh, heh.
What did I say about doing that?
Heh, heh. Ah, great impression, huh?
Hey, it's obvious you two have a lot to hash out...
so as long as that computer's working, you think you could look up a name for us?
I didn't realize Dr. Selig only worked here years ago.
Sorry I dragged you so far for a dead end.
No sweat. I know how you can make it up to me.
MAN: Thank you.
Woo-hoo!
Ha, I've always wanted to do that.
A real bed, a real room.
Ah, what do you think?
I'd be just as comfortable in the car.
Well, that's the difference between you and me, tin man.
I am more comfortable right here. Lights.
I have arrived.
I guess I'll shut down too.
Shut down? I thought you never slept.
Only rarely. My power cells draw hydrogen from the air.
When possible, I can dedicate all resources to a full recharge.
Zee, I appreciate the help, but you can stop talking.
I'm already sleepy.
[MECHANICAL SNORING]
I don't believe it, he snores.
[COMPUTER BEEPING]
BUCKY: No one can mimic a voice like that.
No one human, anyways.
What was your deal?
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
"Infiltration Unit Zeta"?
National Security Agency.
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
"Access denied"? Yeah, right.
[GLASS BREAKING]
- It wasn't me. ZETA: Ro, something's happening.
Zee?
[CRASH]
My motor functions, I can't control them.
Help me.
[RO GRUNTING]
- What's doing this? - I don't know.
[RO YELLS]
[GRUNTS]
Zee, wait.
GUESTS: Huh? RO: Make way, coming through.
Where are you going?
East, I think.
You.
Bucky.
Good, you remember my name.
And apparently, yours is Zeta.
Only now, it's property of me.
My own infiltration unit. How many rads is that?
Titanium alloy, Cornblatt-axiom construction.
Hey, where are all the cool weapons you're supposed to have?
Where's the plasma rifle and the long-range grenade launcher?
I threw them away. I don't hurt people anymore.
Oh, well, you still got some cool stuff in you.
Whoa, where you going?
How are you doing this to me?
Any circuit emits its own inductance, right?
I just loaded your schematics into my controller...
it found your inductance and took control of you.
Simple, really.
Oh, do that hologram thing.
Be a boxer.
Be a ballerina.
Be me.
Gosh, you're handsome.
What are you going to do with me?
You can relax, metal man.
No way I'm giving you up to the government.
You're mine now.
I need you for tomorrow.
I don't know what Tannor's planning...
but he sure doesn't want me at those awards.
That makes me wanna throw a wrench into the whole day just to mess with him.
And you, Mr. Zeta, are what I call a wicked wrench.
Yup, you went east.
[CHATTERING]
[OVER MONITOR] When the judges arrive at your booth...
please be prepared to give a brief description of your exhibit.
WILLOW: The system then combines the data from all these sources...
summarizing the full atmospheric and seismic spectrum...
into a single quantifiable unit.
Very impressive, but has it passed the three-bonk test?
The three-bonk test?
Is that one of the...?
[WILLOW GASPS]
Aw, look at that.
Guess it was unstable. Better luck next year.
Okay. Must be what college types do for fun.
That rocked.
I didn't think it was very nice.
Then you shouldn't have done it. Oh, wait, you didn't have a choice.
Now, who's next?
BUCKY: Yeah, Michaels. He's got it coming.
Become him.
[CHATTERING]
I'll give a quick intro, and then you can take it away.
Excuse me. I was in your office yesterday.
You haven't seen the guy I was with, have you?
I'm sorry. I'm very busy right now.
But why don't you go talk to one of those nice security guards up front?
They can take care of you until you find your chaperone.
[BLOWS RASPBERRY]
The new hyper-dynamic jet design creates much less turbulence...
allowing for quantum improvements in fuel efficiency.
Of course, the air patterns would be easier to see...
if we passed a better fluid through the jet.
- What's he doing? - How did he do that?
[MAN GASPS AND CROWD MURMURS]
- May I? - Hey, what are you doing?
[JUDGES YELL]
[COUGHING]
- You're out of the contest. - See? Much clearer.
[BUCKY CHUCKLES]
[CHUCKLING]
- Zee? - Ro?
RO: Hey.
MAN [OVER PA]: Ladies and gentlemen...
if you'll direct your attention to the stage, we have a special presentation for you.
Our host this year, while ineligible for competition...
has patented a new invention, and he's eager to get your feedback...
before taking it into production.
Hey.
- Ro. MAN: Please welcome Dr. Donald Tannor...
and his invention, the inductance controller.
What?
[CROWD APPLAUDING]
He's stealing my invention. So that's why he was shutting me out.
- No. RO: What? What's going on?
Please, don't make me do this.
- Do what? What's happening? - Get him.
[RO GRUNTING]
[CROWD MURMURING]
Zee, fight it. You can fight it.
I can't.
[RO GRUNTS]
[CROWD MURMURING]
Is that someone's invention? I'm supposed to have the stage now.
[TANNOR GRUNTING]
[TANNOR AND RO GRUNT]
RO: Come on. TANNOR: What was that?
And who are you?
Right now, I'm your best friend.
The robot's name is Zeta, and that kid Bucky's got him after your head.
- Bucky? Why? - You stole his invention.
I what? I did not.
This device is the result of my hard work, guiding the individuals who...
Yo, robot bait.
I couldn't care about your hide, but my friend doesn't hurt people.
And I'm trying to help him with that, so put a fire under it.
- Friend? That thing is your friend? - Yeah.
[TANNOR PANTING]
- Do your parents know where you are? - Wrong question, mister.
[BUCKY LAUGHS MANIACALLY]
Didn't know Tannor could move that fast.
[TANNOR PANTING]
TANNOR: This way.
Bucky, please, don't make me hurt anyone.
I've fought so hard not to.
Face it, Zeta, you were built to do one thing:
Search and destroy.
Or is that two things?
Anyways, try not to fight it.
RO: Be open, be open.
- Ow. - Here, hold this. I've got the key.
[LOCK BEEPS]
Zee, stop. Please, stop. Simon says?
How do you work this thing?
Uh, well, I'm no expert, really.
You, uh, you need the schematics for whatever you wanna control.
You load them into the thing and it does the rest.
Just open the dang door.
TANNOR: Yes.
[BOTH PANTING]
[BOTH SCREAM]
Wait. Better, laser cutter.
[BOTH PANTING]
We gotta get those schematics.
Bucky obviously had them, so where would they be?
- Uh, his room, Room 15. - Let's split up.
You draw them the other way and I'll try to get the schem...
Only for you, Zee.
Ew, how do boys live?
Now, where did he go?
Headed for his office.
Figures.
Too easy.
[PANTS]
Dr. Tannor, peekaboo.
Finish it, Zeta.
[GRUNTING]
[TANNOR SCREAMS]
Look, Bucky, I wasn't going to take the credit.
It's my job to handle presentations. I was only trying to help you.
[SCREAMS]
Please, Bucky, stop this.
- No! - What do you want?
BUCKY: Admit it.
[OVER MONITOR] You stole my invention.
[CROWD MURMURING]
All right, yes, I stole your invention.
You've stolen all your ideas. You're just a parasite.
Yes, I'm a parasite. I stole them all.
And you're gonna get everything you deserve.
[TANNOR SOBBING]
Please.
What?
Let go of my friend.
Uh-uh. I'm not done with him yet.
You can't use Zee like this.
He's as much a person as me or you. More than you.
He's a robot, a toy. He doesn't have feelings.
He does too. You think you're so smart.
- I'm smarter than you. - Wanna bet?
[YELLS]
[BUCKY GRUNTS]
College types.
Nice move.
[TANNOR GASPS]
[TABLE CRASHES]
You're not going to hurt me?
Oh, man. Get a grip.
I wasn't gonna hurt you either. I just wanted to scare him.
Figured it was the only way I'd get him to confess.
You just wanted to scare him?
I won't do it again. I promise.
You are smart.
Stay that way.
RO: Zee, tough guy.
I forget you have it in you.
It seemed like the right time.
What do you suppose we should do with this?
Sure, spoil my fun.
I'm kidding.
RO: Why are you showing me these? ZETA: We can learn about the past.
This was called a diaper pin.
RO: They pinned diapers on to the...? Aah!
ZETA: The past was a barbaric time.
