1. Rookie move, buddy.
Whatever.
Copy !req
2. Battle scars
give a man character.
Copy !req
3. So when are we taking out
that null?
Copy !req
4. Well, it's big
Copy !req
5. and would put up
a serious fight.
Copy !req
6. And we could lose Hazel
if we attack it.
Copy !req
7. She's too attached.
Copy !req
8. I mean, when you first got
on the train
Copy !req
9. and that null of yours —
Copy !req
10. Uh...
Copy !req
11. Anyway...
Copy !req
12. brute force
can get so boring.
Copy !req
13. Am I right?
We've got time.
Copy !req
14. Hmm.
Copy !req
15. We made a new friend.
Copy !req
16. This is Louis.
Copy !req
17. He's a good sort,
but barking mad.
Copy !req
18. What a coincidence!
Copy !req
19. We have a friend named Louis
in the Apex.
Copy !req
20. The Apex is the country
where you're from?
Copy !req
21. The Apex isn't a place,
Copy !req
22. it's a special
secret force of kids.
Copy !req
23. Yeah, that's right!
Copy !req
24. In the Apex, we fight
for our rights as passengers
Copy !req
25. because an evil robot
named One-One
Copy !req
26. has taken over the train.
Copy !req
27. A evil robot?
Copy !req
28. Yep. See, the True Conductor
was a man
Copy !req
29. who wore big black helmet
with a red wave on it.
Copy !req
30. He has the highest number
in the world
Copy !req
31. and even saved my life once.
Copy !req
32. So we wear the red wave
on our faces to honor him.
Copy !req
33. He built the train
for humans.
Copy !req
34. But no one knows where
the True Conductor is now,
Copy !req
35. and One-One is trying to get rid
of all the humans on the train.
Copy !req
36. Ever since he took over,
kids have been disappearing
Copy !req
37. when their numbers go down.
Copy !req
38. I hate One-One!
Copy !req
39. Where do the children go?
Copy !req
40. No one knows.
Copy !req
41. But I have
the highest number,
Copy !req
42. just like
the True Conductor did,
Copy !req
43. so I'm the leader
of the Apex.
Copy !req
44. I make sure everyone's number
stays high.
Copy !req
45. Can I be in it?
Copy !req
46. Hmm.
Copy !req
47. Well, Apex kids
are all really special
Copy !req
48. and really brave.
Copy !req
49. Hmm.
Copy !req
50. Hmmmmm!
Copy !req
51. Yeah, maybe someday.
Copy !req
52. Someday.
Copy !req
53. Hah!
That's cute.
Copy !req
54. Tuba used to sing it
to her kids.
Copy !req
55. But I added
the "easy-peasy" part!
Copy !req
56. Kids, huh?
Copy !req
57. So, you're probably
gonna need
Copy !req
58. to head back to 'em
at some point?
Copy !req
59. No.
Copy !req
60. I... am on my own... now.
Copy !req
61. Nuh-unh!
You're with us!
Copy !req
62. Of course.
Copy !req
63. Stop!
Copy !req
64. Stop right there!
Copy !req
65. What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
66. Simon, get to higher ground.
Copy !req
67. I'll find its —
You aren't even dressed.
Copy !req
68. I can't present you
in such a state.
Copy !req
69. Where are your escorts?
Copy !req
70. We don't need escorts.
Copy !req
71. Where's the exit?
Copy !req
72. The exit only makes itself seen
to those who've entered society.
Copy !req
73. You must have a debut.
Procedures must be followed.
Copy !req
74. Oh. I'll take you
to the Cotillion Room
Copy !req
75. to learn the waltz.
Copy !req
76. Follow me, if you will.
Copy !req
77. What now?
Copy !req
78. We'll play along,
for Hazel's sake.
Copy !req
79. Former debutantes,
all paired off now.
Copy !req
80. Great. Look at that.
Good for them.
Copy !req
81. Well, here we are!
Copy !req
82. I'll be back to collect you
all later,
Copy !req
83. so follow the feet,
learn the steps, no mistakes,
Copy !req
84. or you'll be
trapped here forever.
Copy !req
85. Okay. Cheerio!
Copy !req
86. Hey!
You can't leave us in here!
Copy !req
87. This is what happens
when we play by train rules.
Copy !req
88. Ceiling panels might budge.
I'll take lead.
Copy !req
89. You go and —
Let's learn the dance!
Copy !req
90. Hazel! You are so sweet,
Copy !req
91. but here's the thing
about life on the train.
Copy !req
92. It is smart to try
what we know can work.
Copy !req
93. Mm.
Copy !req
94. Thank you for the input,
but —
Copy !req
95. If we don't dance,
we can't get back to the Apex!
Copy !req
96. And we have to
so I can be in it!
Copy !req
97. I can be special and brave.
Copy !req
98. I promise.
Copy !req
99. Huh?
Copy !req
100. Okay.
Copy !req
101. We'll cover our bases.
Copy !req
102. You go through the vents
and look for another way out.
Copy !req
103. I'll learn the dance.
Copy !req
104. I don't like this, Grace.
Copy !req
105. These nulls are a bigger
threat than they seemed.
Copy !req
106. They always are.
Copy !req
107. Hee!
Copy !req
108. So...
Copy !req
109. let's learn this dance.
Copy !req
110. We follow the feet!
Copy !req
111. This is a ballroom dance!
Copy !req
112. Some of the steps are backwards.
Copy !req
113. We have to be partners.
Copy !req
114. You're right.
Copy !req
115. How do you know
about this stuff?
Copy !req
116. I took classes.
Copy !req
117. Do you have one of those
intense dance moms or something?
Copy !req
118. Dance moms?
Yeah.
Copy !req
119. Puts you in contests
to win trophies,
Copy !req
120. makes you wear
supertight ponytails,
Copy !req
121. gives you too much sugar?
Copy !req
122. I...
Copy !req
123. don't know.
Copy !req
124. You... don't know?
Copy !req
125. What about your dad?
Copy !req
126. He was...
Copy !req
127. Ugh! I don't know!
Copy !req
128. What doesshe know?
Copy !req
129. Mnh.
Copy !req
130. Okay. That's okay.
Copy !req
131. Hey, I had dance lessons,
too.
Copy !req
132. Yeah?
Yeah! All kinds —
Copy !req
133. tap, hip-hop, ballet.
Copy !req
134. Couples do ballroom
as a fun bonding activity.
Copy !req
135. Uh...
yeah, I guess so.
Copy !req
136. I never did ballroom,
though.
Copy !req
137. I didn't go to classes.
Copy !req
138. I had private instruction.
Copy !req
139. No other kids?
Copy !req
140. Yeah. My mom and dad were all
about "learning from the best,"
Copy !req
141. which always just meant
I was alone.
Copy !req
142. One year, my instructor put me
in her group class recital,
Copy !req
143. but my parents couldn't come,
and the other girls in the class
Copy !req
144. didn't know me,
so they didn't invite me
Copy !req
145. to get ice cream afterward.
Copy !req
146. But, really, they were
just jealous
Copy !req
147. because I was way
better than them,
Copy !req
148. which got so boring,
so I quit.
Copy !req
149. It's okay.
Copy !req
150. I don't know
any other kids, either.
Copy !req
151. Hmm.
Copy !req
152. Whoa! Ugh!
Copy !req
153. Simon!
Copy !req
154. I looked for a way
out of the building.
Copy !req
155. Grace, there's literally
nothing out there.
Copy !req
156. It's just a black void.
Copy !req
157. Okay. Let me think.
Copy !req
158. Well, the dance is our
obvious option right now.
Copy !req
159. But —
And if it doesn't
get us to the exit,
Copy !req
160. then we'll make them regret
they ever met us.
Copy !req
161. So be my partner already!
Copy !req
162. You know, we're not
half bad at this.
Copy !req
163. Must be all the drills
we run together.
Copy !req
164. Sure.
What's a little box step
Copy !req
165. when you've taken the head
off a 6-foot vulture together?
Copy !req
166. It's time, my lovelies!
Copy !req
167. I present to you as their entrée
into society
Copy !req
168. the Mighty Tuba,
Copy !req
169. Hazel Last Name Unknown,
Copy !req
170. Simon Laurent,
Copy !req
171. and Grace Monroe.
Copy !req
172. And now the couples will take
their first dance together.
Copy !req
173. Hee-hee!
Copy !req
174. What a handsome young man.
Copy !req
175. Woman #2: I must introduce
my nephew to her.
Copy !req
176. It that a gorilla?
Copy !req
177. Man #2: I don't know,
but she's stunning.
Copy !req
178. Woman #3: I think that one's
a little young.
Copy !req
179. Woman #4:
Shh! Please!
Copy !req
180. Finally!
Copy !req
181. Whoo-hoo! We did it!
Copy !req
182. Youdid it, Hazel!
Copy !req
183. We would never have learned
the dance without you.
Copy !req
184. You know, Simon...
Copy !req
185. I think she's ready.
Copy !req
186. Congratulations.
You're Apex now.
Copy !req
187. I was brave?
Copy !req
188. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
189. Now Tuba!
Copy !req
190. Oh, man.
We totally would,
Copy !req
191. but the red waves
are for kids only.
Copy !req
192. Are you a kid, Tuba?
Copy !req
193. No.
Copy !req
194. I am not a kid.
Copy !req
195. See? She's not a kid,
so we can't.
Copy !req
196. Being Apex is so fun!
Copy !req
197. Hey, why don't you teach me
that cute song
Copy !req
198. you were singing earlier?
Copy !req
199. Okay!
The first part is...
Copy !req
200. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
