SPEED RACER X!!!
THE TRAP - EPISODE 15 - X
Nighttime in the city park, Speed has just been handed Rex's address and was told that Racer X is actually his brother Rex Racer.
Sparky is there with Speed who hands him the address. Speed and Sparky go back to the Mach V where they enter in the address into the GPS computer.
The address that Sonya has given them is located in an empty lot downtown; she lied.
Sparky remembers that Trixie knows Racer X's address because she's already been there on more than one occasion so they call her on the video phone.
Trixie, on the other end of the line, gives them the address and tells them that they'd better go there soon because its getting too late at night. Spritle goes into Trixie's room yawning and saying, "What's up Sis?" She sends him back to his bed where he drops off to dreamland again, he dreams of winning the art contest he's entered that day.
She is sleepy and curious why they need the address, she says she'll meet them there, Speed agrees but Sparky decides to head for home instead and hails a cab. He wishes Speed good luck and rides away in the cab. Speed, with Racer X's true address in hand, heads straight for Racer X's mansion.
Speed arrives in the Mach V at Racer X's mansion and is greeted at the door by Joe, the butler, who tells him to wait inside to see if "Mr. X" is willing to speak with him.
Soon Racer X enters the room, he's a bit put out at the arrival of a guest at such a late hour. He instructs Speed to wait for him in the sitting room and Joe shows him the way.
Joe seats Speed on the couch and proceeds to the doorway and Racer X instructs him to bring some refreshments, Joe complies. Racer X takes a seat in a chair across from Speed and asks him to state his business.
Speed comes right out and asks Racer X if he is Rex Racer.
Racer X tells him that that they both know that Rex Racer was killed testing the prototype of the Mach V many years ago. He tells Speed that he must miss Rex very much to believe that he still lives after such a terrible accident. Racer X tells him that he is not Rex Racer.
Speed says he is certain that Rex must still be alive because he can feel that he is. Racer X tells Speed that if he is to be a real professional racer and succeed in the World Earth Grand Prix that he must have the utmost focus on the race and that he should let go his fixation of Rex still being alive.
Speed agrees, noting to himself that Racer X is right and that even Rex would have given him such good advice.
Racer X tells Speed that he should appreciate the family he has and get on with his life. He states that he himself is a man with no name and no family, but if he had a brother he'd want one like Speed. He adds, "...but on the race track, there is no family, there are only competitors."
Racer X says that although they aren't related, he'll only consider Speed his brother if Speed continues to uphold true sportsmanship in the noble sport of automobile racing.
Speed to himself, realizes that once he considered Racer X a menace to racing, now finds new respect for the mysterious racer. Speed now apologizes to Racer X for intruding at such a late hour and decides to leave.
Joe, not wanting to interrupt the conversation, now enters with the refreshments. Speed declines saying, thank you. Joe leaves the refreshments on the table and leaves the room.
Racer X and Speed stand and shake hands. Racer X reminds Speed that when they next meet on the track that he'd better be prepared to lose.
Speed says, "Not on your life, Racer X! I'll be the winner next time, just you wait and see!" Racer X looks at him then smiles and laughs.
Joe leads Speed to the front door and opens it for him. Racer X watches from a window as Speed crosses the lawn to the front gate.
Outside Trixie has just arrived, seeing Speed, she runs to him. Trixie asks Speed if he found out who Racer X really is, Speed says no and that it's not important now.
He says to himself, "I'll remember Rex the way he was, always --- my brother and my hero." He says to Trixie, "I don't know who Racer X is, only that he's not someone to fear, but someone who deserves respect." Trixie says, "Well, I'll find out someday, and it will be the biggest scoop of my career!" Speed smiles and they leave. Speed revs the Mach V and drives away followed by Trixie.
Racer X tells Joe that he hopes Speed is now content and has accepted what he's been told and that his mission depended on it. Joe tells him that new information has just arrived via their undercover informant and Racer X becomes concerned.
Meanwhile back at Hibiki Motors, Sparky arrives in a taxi. He pays and tips the cabby and it drives off.
He dreads his arrival because he expects Pops to blow his top because Speed is out so late instead of resting.
He looks around and all is dark and quiet.
He remembers Pops knowing that he and Speed were going out only for a little while.
But no one is around, was something wrong?
He calls out, but no answer.
Now concerned he begins going room-by-room calling out, flipping on lights as he goes.
Strange, no one is around.
He realizes he's forgot the TV room.
Maybe they've fallen asleep watching a show.
Now a little relieved, he goes to the TV room and notices the TV is off.
He enters and flips on the light switch, but the room is empty.
He sees a note on the big screen TV.
He thinks to himself, "Man, I hope they didn't go out looking for us."
He walks up to the TV and takes the note.
It reads:
SpEeD RaCEr,

MeET mE In OnE hOUr
aT tHe TEaM hiBIkI

Sparky gasps and says "Speed!!!"
