"well, there goes another shot from the Cape." "Yes, they're after a new orbital endurance record." "We have the hardware and the know-how to stay aloft interminabIy." "Man, himself, is the weak link in the chain." "You're right, professor, and I've already given the problem some thought." "I believe you're on the right track." "How soon can you leave for thailand?" "shortly." "Soon as I recheck my experiments and my calculations." "excellent, excellent." "But one thing, doctor." "Yes, professor?" "Be very careful." "Perhaps you'd better keep your mission secret." "I think I understand." "Don't worry, we'II be careful." "Goodbye, professor." "Goodbye and good luck." "Race, you can tell us." "What's Dad been doing in his laboratory?" "I don't know, Jonny." "He's working on something important." "That's why he's asked us not to disturb him." "Quiet, Bandit." "You don't want to be the only disturbing influence around here, do you?" "I think Bandit's feelings have been hurt." "I didn't know he was so sensitive." "Race!" "Jonny!" "Hadji!" "Get up here on the double!" "We're leaving for thailand immediately!" "Did he say immediately?" "No, he said thailand." "Come on, Iet's go." "Yes, Race, it is a Iong way to thailand." "But it's the only place that plant is known to grow." "I must have a specimen to check out my formula." "Dad, what kind of a place is thailand?" "Look down below and you will see, Jonny." "It is covered with much jungle, Iike my country." "Bandit's gonna have to keep on his toes." "JungIes are full of monkeys." "So I've heard." "Some zoologists claim monkeys are smarter and make better pets than dogs." "Bandit doesn't think so." "I think his feelings have been hurt again." "Never mind, Bandit." "I still think dogs are man's best friend." "The landing field is not too far ahead." "Right, doctor." "Fasten your seat belts, boys, we're going down." "I can't wait to see thailand." "And Bandit can't wait to see monkeys." "He wants to show us who is smarter." "Hey, look, Hadji." "Bandit has finally got Kogo cornered." "I think not, Jonny." "Monkey too smart for man's best friend." "You're right, Hadji." "It's hard to believe that this vine grows only in thailand." "It's true." "From that vine comes the answer to one of the problems..." "...facing future space expeditions." "The threat of mental deterioration?" "Right." "However, with this formula...." "There's someone on that roof." "I think our friend Kogo is a secret agent." "If he is, we're in trouble." "Look who we've got on our side." "Forget it, Bandit." "You'II never catch Kogo." "hold it down, fellas." "I'm working." "Sorry, Dad." "I think Bandit has not heard of peaceful coexistence." "Kogo has." "He wants to be friends." "You were talking about space expeditions." "Yes, Race." "Picture the crew of this spaceship locked in their metal prison, surrounded by billions of miles of nothing..." "...for as long as 1 6 years at a stretch." "That's pretty rough." "The human mind is not prepared for such a test of solitude." "So, what you're after is a sort of giant tranquiIizer?" "exactly." "We know now that man has always found ways to alter his emotions by consuming various plants." "It's called "haIIucinogenics."" "Yes, doctor." "By synthesizing this plant into pills a crew could keep mentally alert for as long as 20 years." "Yes, doctor." "unfortunately, the use of this pill could be abused, which is why the formula must be guarded." "Yes, doctor." "I want that formula." "Yes, doctor." "An increase in the dosage and your space crew becomes totally without will puppets, as it were." "Interesting?" "Very interesting, Dr. Zin." "Such pills dropped in the water supply of a major city would reduce the inhabitants to sheep awaiting instructions." "A brilliant plan, Dr. Zin." "I have a brilliant opponent in Dr. Quest." "But this time I shall win." "Run the film, please." "Tabak." "This film was taken without the subject's knowledge." "Observe carefully." "No, Mr. Korchek." "Race Bannon is not Ieft-handed." "Forgive me, doctor." "I have made you look like him, sound like him, walk and think like him." "You must become Race Bannon." "Better." "Much better." "Watch the subject." "Yes, Dr. Zin." "Now, Tabak." "I believe you are ready." "You will join Dr. Quest's party at Chiang Mai and proceed according to plan." "Yes, doctor." "Oh, Mr. Korchek." "The name is Bannon, sir." "excellent." "Do not return without the formula." "I will not fall." "Boy, Kogo sure didn't like being left behind." "He likes having his picture taken as much as Bandit." "Look at Bandit." "He would make a fine actor, yes?" "well, he's no Lassie, but he's sure a ham." "Speaking of ham." "Stop the jeep!" "Get your cameras ready." "This is once in a lifetime." "What is it, Race?" "It's a serow." "Combination goat and antelope." "On that rock." "A serow is very rare beast." "Very shy." "Quiet." "Oh, Bandit." "I couldn't have said it better myself." "Wow, look down there." "You look." "In previous life I was fish, not bird." "What's the rush, Suthep?" "Nothing to see here." "We must get to destination so you have enough sun for your photographing." "Where is it we're going?" "To the enlightened One." "It's a giant Buddha, carved out of stone." "He's hidden here in the jungle." "Perhaps he was not meant to be seen by outside world." "It could bring bad luck." "Oh, Hadji, you're chicken." "No, Indian, and superstitious." "Look out!" "That tree!" "I knew I should have stayed in Bombay." "You boys all right?" "I'm okay." "How about you, Hadji?" "I feel omen of bad luck." "Let us turn back." "But from here, it is an easy journey on foot." "tell you what, we'II go and get our pictures." "Wait here." "Why can't we come, Race?" "Sorry, fellas." "No, I can't let you go down there on foot." "That's king cobra country." "We won't be long." "It is not far now." "That's good." "I've got the wrong haircut to play Tarzan." "Why, it's unbelievable." "AII this carved by hand." "Yes, examine detailing of pedestal." "Very intricate work." "What the--?" "I have him." "Hey, what is this?" ""Hey, what is this?"" "Let's cut the fun and games, little Sir Echo." "What's going on here?" ""Let's cut the fun and games, little Sir Echo." "What's going on here?"" "release him, Tabak." "He's not going anywhere." "Okay, I'II play." "Who are you and what's the game?" "My name is Race Bannon." "I was born in wilmette, illinois." "I am 32 years old." "My father is John, my mother is Sarah." "And I am very close to the work of Dr. Benton Quest." "How am I doing, Tabak?" "Perfect, sir." "Dr. Zin will be pleased." "Oh, Zin, I should have guessed." "Ah, a camera." "Since Race Bannon wore one when he came in here he shall be wearing one when he leaves." "Hey, look, Jonny!" "Green beauty Iizard." "Neat!" "I'II get the camera." "Kogo, will you stop wasting film?" "Maybe Kogo wants picture taken." "Okay, we'II take your picture." "Hey, will you stand still?" "Hey, Bandit's found a ball." "I'm afraid he's in for a surprise." "You sound like you're having a ball." "Bandit thought he had one." "It ran off." "well, that's the way the ball bounces, eh, boys?" "Hey, where's Kogo?" "Kogo?" "Why, he's right here." "No, I said-- Oh, here he is." "Boy, for a smart monkey, you sure do get misplaced." "Oh, yeah, Kogo." "Come here, boy." "Not very sociable today, is he?" "Jonny, I have a strange feeling." "Me too." "You're about to cry "uncle."" "Something is wrong with Race." "There you go again." "Observe, Jonny." "After Race returned from Buddha, Kogo would not go near him." "Hey, no fair using two hands." "King cobra!" "Kogo!" "He won't give us more trouble." "Danger not over." "Cobra has mate." "always travel in pairs." "Something's strange about this." "A cobra that size never comes into a clearing." "I wonder how it got here." "I don't know." "But sleep with your shutters closed tonight." "will do, Dad." "Night." "Night, Jonny, Hadji." "Hadji, I'm no seventh son of a seventh son like you..." "...but now I've got a feeling." "You were looking at his face, weren't you?" "Yeah." "Race really enjoyed shooting that cobra." "also, he showed no surprise in seeing it." "He's not acting like himself." "I wonder why." "It started after he returned from taking picture." "Maybe he saw something or" "Hey, maybe the answer is in his camera." "The camera is in the lab." "You think we should?" "Let's go!" "Something's coming through on this one." "Hey, what's this?" "Someone's coming!" "What are you doing?" "We're just developing film." "From my camera?" "Yeah." "You turned on the light and ruined it." "We are very sorry." "well, okay, then." "Let's hit the sack, fellas." "Sure." "Night, Race." "I wonder what was in that camera." "I'm afraid our friends are too curious." "In the jungle, the too-curious often meet with accidents." "Yes." "Arrange one immediately." "Anyone around?" "Nope, all clear." "What's on the film?" "It looks like Race." "It is Race." "With a guy next to him." "Where did he come from?" "And why didn't Race mention him?" "Jonny, I hear something." "Jade!" "What are you doing here?" "I have some business with Race, naturally." "But I might ask you the same question." "We were just talking." "alone in the jungle in the middle of the night?" "I know it sounds strange." "But we are worried about Race." "honestly, boys." "We can't put our finger on it." "Something's not right." "I'd better have a look at Mr. Race Bannon for myself." "Oh, Race." "What's up?" "The boys did a little after-hour developing in here." "I was cleaning up." "Seems to be a restless night for everyone." "I couldn't sleep." "Might as well work." "Yes, doctor, might as well." "I won't be needing you for anything." "Good night, Race." "Good night, doctor." "Got a light?" "Anytime you want one, Jade." "You don't seem surprised to see me." "You can't surprise me, Jade." "I know you too well." "Race, listen, I came to warn you." "Word has reached me you're in danger." "Be careful." "Thanks, Jade, I will." "well, good night, then." "Good night, Jade." "You have nothing more to say?" "In the past, you have been more talkative." "Why talk?" "Better?" "Oh, yes." "Much better." "Where are we going?" "To the Buddha." "You said Race started acting strange after going there?" "Yeah." "Know what it means?" "It means the man in camp is not Race." "He isn't?" "How do you know?" "There are some ways a woman cannot be fooled." "But who is the man?" "And where is Race?" "Perhaps the Buddha will give us the answer." "There is the statue of the Buddha." "Wow, look at that!" "Bandit, leave Kogo alone!" "Kogo has found something." "Look, it's Race's pen." "He's around somewhere." "Perhaps there is an entrance." "It's the guy in the picture." "please, allow me to show you in." "Jade!" "Boys!" "well, we meet again, Race." "Your double is almost identical except a shade better-Iooking, I think." "Of all the" "will you tell me why you came down here alone?" "I came to help, but it seems I'm too late." "Yes, much too late." "Even now, our agent is getting the formula." "Dad!" "well, Race." "You're up late." "The name is Korchek, doctor and I want the formula." "Korchek, eh?" "You're working for Zin." "brilliant deduction." "Now, where is it?" "tell me what you've done with Race." "I will ask the questions." "For the Iast time, doctor, where is the formula?" "The one place you can't get it, in my head." "Won't you get bored, King Kong?" "Sitting here, holding that gun on us all night." "I will not be here all night." "The explosive has been set to go off in exactly 1 0 minutes." "explosive!" "Buddha has served its purpose." "Dr. Zin wishes to leave no clues behind, and that includes all of you!" "well, Hadji, might as well leave them laughing, huh?" "behold, oh, giant one the wonders of the Orient." "My earring!" "That's magic." "Yes, magic." "believe what you see." "It's not in my hand, so where could it be?" "How did you--?" "Magic." "Watch." "believe what you see." "It's not in your hand, so where could it be?" "Give me the gun, son of a mongoose!" "But you have it, oh, giant one." "Behind you." "No more magic tricks." "The time is up." "Yes, I think so too." "Sit down." "Why don't you make me?" "You have the gun." "And I will use it." "Be my guest." "Sahib, are you looking for these?" "Why, you" "I've got his knife, Race." "Like you said, "The bigger they are, the harder they faII."" "The explosive must be set to the door." "Let's get out!" "Run!" "We can never make it in time." "Yes, we will." "It's my pilot." "Everybody in." "On the double!" "I think I shall charge you 5000 pound sterling for this escape." "That sounds fair." "Put it on my bill." "Hadji, look!" "explosion frightened elephants!" "There are many ways to make you talk." "You don't stand a chance, Korchek." "Don't I?" "I say you will give me the formula now if you wish to see your son again." "It's the elephants!" "They're almost to Dad's laboratory!" "pilot, move over the lead elephant." "I'II drop the ladder down and try to divert them." "Hadji go." "elephant his brother." "Hadji, no!" "Hadji, come back here!" "He made it!" "Go, Hadji!" "Go!" "Suthep, come back!" "Don't move, Korchek." "I believe someone wants a close look at you." "Just like looking in a mirror." "Amazing, a striking resemblance." "Now, that's a cue if ever I heard one." "pleasant dreams, Mr. Korchek." "And welcome back, Race." "And as for you two, good work." "Jade, how did you know Korchek was a phony?" "There's only one Race Bannon." "Goodbye, Race." "Boy, that guy sure is Race's double." "Not anymore, Jonny." "Look, Bandit's jealous." "Kogo has a new friend." "Speaking of doubles, the monkeys could be twins." "Not exactly, Hadji." "Kogo's friend is Kigi." "She's a girl." "A girl?" "No wonder they're kissing." "Everybody's kissing." "Oh, no, not you too, Bandit." "Stop it!" "Cut it out!" "Quit!"
