00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: ever told you the story of how Zara joined the

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: Spy Kids? Oh? I haven't? Oh no? Do you know

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: how kids joined the Spy Kids Team? Have I ever?

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: I haven't? Oh no? Well, you see, to join the

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: Spy Kids team, you have to be very brave and

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: you have to solve a mystery. Spy Kids headquarters are

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: always watching to see if there's any new recruits out

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: there that are some really smart, brave kids that can

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: join the Spy Kids team. Well, you see, Zarah was

27
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: not always on the Spy Kids team. She just, like

28
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: everybody else, had to start somewhere, So we gotta go

29
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: way back. So when her, her dad and her brother

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: Alfie went to a soccer game you've seen, they thought

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,639
Speaker 1: it was just a normal soccer game that they loved

32
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: going to. Their favorite team was the Red team, and

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: today the Red team was playing against the Blue team.

34
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: They were so excited to cheer on their Red team

35
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: and hope that they scored more goals and won the game.

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: When they got to their seats, they had some popcorn

37
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: and some other delicious snacks that they had got at

38
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: the game. As they were watching the teams get ready

39
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: for the game, Zara noticed something very strange. She said, Dad,

40
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: have you ever seen people put paint on their shoes?

41
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: And her dad said, oh, no, I haven't that it's

42
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: kind of weird, but well, let's go Red team, he shouted.

43
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: Zara had never seen someone paint their shoe before for

44
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: a soccer game, and all the players on the other

45
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: team were doing this. This was super strange and whoa.

46
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: She noticed that as soon as they put paint on

47
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: their feet, they would like bounce and like go really fast.

48
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: That is very strange, very weird. Ready go. The game

49
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: started and the blue team got the ball, and holy smokes,

50
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: they're fast. They were way faster than the red team

51
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: and they scored. Oh no, Zara couldn't believe her eyes. Alfie,

52
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: did you see that? Did you see how fast they were?

53
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: And Alfie shrugged, he said, yeah, they're way faster than

54
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: our teams. That's crazy. I thought our team was pretty good.

55
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: Zara was not tripped. She knew that something with that

56
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: paint on their feet must have made them extra fast.

57
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: She had to figure it out. So Zara spent the

58
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: rest of the game not really watching the game as

59
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: the blue team scored a lot of goals, but she

60
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: was watching the sidelines where the equipment manager was holding

61
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: onto this bucket of paint that everyone was using to

62
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: put on their shoes. Yeah, if only I could get

63
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: a sample of that paint, Zara said, then I bet

64
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: we could figure out where that's coming from, because that

65
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: has to be cheating. That is not fair. If they're

66
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: putting some super paint on their shoes, that's not fair.

67
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: It's halftime. At halftime, the teams take a break and

68
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: the coaches takes some time to look over their notes

69
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: and see how they could do better in the second half.

70
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: Zara said, Alfie, come with me. Let's go check and

71
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: see what that paint is, and let's go see if

72
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: we can get some. Zara, Alfie and their dad carefully

73
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: snuck over to the sidelines. They were trying to get

74
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: close enough to that paint cand to see what it was. Oh,

75
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: let's take a picture. Zara started taking pictures, and just

76
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: then the equipment manager saw them and said, he what

77
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: are you going? Get out of here. This is not

78
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: for our kids. Go away. Oh my, he's he is

79
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: not nice. But we got some evidence. We got some pictures.

80
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: Let's look at him. As they zoomed in on the

81
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: pictures they took, they saw the bucket of paint had

82
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: a label on it that said do not wait. What

83
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: does that say? Do not let others see this? Oh? Oh,

84
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: it's just it's got to be illegal. That is not

85
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: fair for soccer, and it said, this is fast paint.

86
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: Speedy paint that is, I've never heard of that before,

87
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: but that can't be allowed. The blue team is so

88
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: much faster. We got to stop him. Zara, her dad

89
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: and Alfie didn't know who to tell or what to do,

90
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: so they ran over to someone behind the concession stand

91
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: and try to tell them, but that person was not

92
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: very helpful and pretty soon the game was over. The

93
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: teams were headed back to their busses as they were

94
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: about to leave, and Zara was feeling pretty disappointed because

95
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: they couldn't find the right people to show this evidence too.

96
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: And as they were walking out to their cars, Dad, look,

97
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: there's the referees. Let's go. Zara, Alphie and their dad

98
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: ran as fast as they could to the referees and

99
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: showed them the pictures. The referees could not believe their eyes.

100
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: This was definitely not allowed in their game of soccer.

101
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: The game was a forfeit. They said, the blue team

102
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: has cheated and the red team is the winner. Who Zarah,

103
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: Alfie and their dad saved the game. What an amazing adventure,

104
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: but the story is not over. You see, solving a

105
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: mystery like that gets the attention of a lot of people.

106
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: Solving that mystery as a kid gets the attention of

107
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Spy Kids Headquarters. Within minutes after they turned the evidence

108
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: over to the authorities, Spy Kids Headquarters had arrived at

109
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: the scene. Hello, Zara, Alfie Mr. We've been pretty impressed
