"[YAK GRUNTING]" "Ah." "[GRUNTS]" "It's colder than the north end of a southbound moose out there." "CHOI LI:" "Dr. Quest?" "Race Bannon?" "We've been waiting for you." "We've been waiting for you to start our supper." "I hope yak will be satisfactory." "gentlemen." "But, Choi Li, I thought yak were endangered." "This high in the himalayas, we are all endangered." "These yaks are domesticated, of course." "tell that to the yak I rode in on." "Though I must admit, that smells pretty good." "Benton, Race, it's good to see you again." "And you, Presade." "It's been a Iong time." "only if you perceive time as a line, Benton." "I prefer to view it as a series of now points." "Heck of a location you chose, Presade." "Ha, ha." "I didn't want to disappoint you, Race." "It isn't often that we get together to compare notes on our recent adventures." "Above all people, Presade you know that phenomenology is a little more than simple adventuring." "[GASPS]" "[BEEPING]" "Hmm." "well, it looks like the satellite's overhead." "Time to check in with Jonny." "Jonny, do you read me?" "Do you read me, Jonny?" "Your signal's pretty weak, Pop." "I can barely hear you." "QUEST:" "It's a nasty storm." "We'll contact you in 36 hours." "No problem." "Don't worry about the three of us." "Everything's cool." "SURD:" "Did you hear it, Lorenzo?" "Everything's cool?" "SURD:" "No." "The sound of opportunity knocking." "JESSIE:" "Hadji's pulse rate's returning to normal." "He's leaving the astropIane." "Come on, Hadji, tell us what's it's like out there." "The astropIane?" "The mind is everywhere and nowhere." "It is empty of thought, good or wicked." "There is no trace of seIf-awareness." "You simply float." "Yeah, great, okay." "But what's it look like?" "It is impossible to describe the indescribable." "Nothing's impossible, Hadj." "There are only possibilities waiting to be discovered." "You sound more like Hadji every day." "I'm talking about QuestworId, Jess." "We'II use the QuestworId system to tap into Hadji's brain waves." "Then the QuestworId screens will show us Hadji's view of the astropIane." "You are downloading my brain into QuestworId?" "I am dumbfounded." "JESSIE:" "QuestworId, log on." "Subject:" "Hadji." "JONNY:" "Okay, Hadj, the ball's in your court." "[BEEPING]" "It's working." "Fantastic." "Hadji's mind is driving the system." "No wonder he couldn't describe it." "RACE:" "No offense, Presade but this yak meat is tougher than my 30-year-oId combat boot." "I'II take that as a compliment, Race." "By the way, Benton, why did you wish to meet three weeks earlier than we had previously scheduled?" "What are you talking about, Presade?" "You sent me a message changing the dates." "Not so." "You sent me an e-maiI requesting that we make it for this month instead of next." "QUEST:" "I sent no such communique." "RACE:" "hold on now." "If neither of you changed the dates, then who did?" "SURD:" "Julia, verify the weather patterns over the Himalayas and positions of communication satellites." "If my calculations were correct, and I'm sure they were Quest and Bannon will be completely isolated in those godforsaken mountains." "Hmm?" "That's strange." "I'm picking up a unique energy pattern in Questworld." "Very similar to alpha brain waves." "Certainly worth investigating." "Dr. Surd?" "We're three miles off from the Quest compound." "SURD:" "Well, then you know what to do, captain." "Questworld, log on." "Subject:" "Jeremiah Surd." "Whoa, something's not right." "Not right?" "It looks downright evil." "SURD:" "Ha, ha." "JONNY:" "We better get Hadji out of there." "Time to come back, Hadji." "Hadji?" "Hadji?" "JONNY:" "His heart rate's down, Jess." "We better check his brain-wave activity." "JESSIE:" "Right." "He's in deep alpha state." "Wait." "Someone's hacked the QuestworId system." "Someone's still downloading from Hadji's mind." "[SURD LAUGHING]" "It's Jeremiah Surd." "Power up to QuestworId, Jess." "JESSIE:" "But" "No buts." "Hadji's gonna lose his mind literally if we don't do something now." "QuestworId, log on." "Subject:" "Jonny Quest." "Countdown." "COMPUTER:" "Six, five, four, three, two, one." "JONNY:" "We didn't program any of this." "[SURD LAUGHING]" "Activate force shield." "What have you done with Hadji?" "SURD:" "Ah." "Poor little Hadji." "Just look at him." "His brain slowly frying away to nothing." "Of course, I couId stop the process." "But there's a price, right?" "How astute." "I want your father and Race Bannon here in five minutes or little Hadji will be on the menu tomorrow as the vegetable du jour." "But I" " Wait, wait." "SURD:" "Now." "I've grown tired of you." "Jonny Quest, logging off." "SURD:" "Everything is going as planned." "With my disposal of their fathers in the Himalayas little Jonny and Jessie will have no choice." "As soon as they both enter Questworld the Quest compound will be ours for the taking." "We are ready to move in as soon as you give the word, Jeremiah." "But I don't get it, boss." "What's the big deal?" "What do they got that we need?" "SURD:" "I don't expect you to comprehend, Lorenzo." "Your mind is as childlike as the Quests'." "They have no concept of the powers of Questworld and are therefore unworthy of its possession." "Once you and Julia destroy their equipment and files I can lock them out of Questworld forever leaving me the undisputed controller of cyberspace." "Now we're really up a creek." "Yeah, but we still have a paddle, Jess." "Two, actually." "Our dads." "They're on the other side of the planet." "No." "QuestworId is its own reality." "Why can't we just impersonate them?" "Because there are just two of us." "And we've always had one golden rule." "There has to be someone on the outside to monitor us." "It's all or nothing." "You're right." "The rule's changed, hasn't it?" "JULIA:" "Let's move it." "Give me a hand here." "[GRUNTING]" "release it." "Drop it in." "Surd, julia here." "We are underway." "SURD:" "And so am I." "Questworld, log on." "Subject:" "Jeremiah Surd." "We're running out of time." "Surd only gave us five minutes." "tell me news, not history, Jess." "Quest compound." "Defense systems up and running with one addition." "I call it a Surd protector." "QuestworId, log on." "Subjects:" "Jonny Quest and Jessie Bannon." "Going hot." "COMPUTER:" "Three, two, one." "JONNY:" "We'II synthesize Race and Dad's voices." "Surd will never know the difference." "SURD:" "welcome to my playground, gentlemen." "I'm so glad you could attend my little barbecue." "JONNY [AS QUEST] :" "Something tells me we better get out of here." "Let's move." "There it is, the Quest compound." "And with those kids locked into QuestworId everything is ours for the taking." "JESSIE [AS RACE] :" "Let's move, Jonny." "SURD:" "Wait for me." "JESSIE [AS RACE] :" "Heads up." "[SURD LAUGHING]" "SURD:" "Where are you?" "JESSIE [AS RACE] :" "This doesn't look good." "This doesn't look good." "Remember the Surd protector I programmed earlier?" "SURD:" "No." "No!" "Where did he go?" "well, it can't be this easy." "[SURD LAUGHING]" "QUEST:" "william, it's good to see you again." "Madam Fournier, would you care to begin?" "william, I believe you have identified a mysterious emanation..." "...at the mouth of the Zambezi." "You're quite right, Madam Fournier." "But it wouId be more correct for us to wait for Mr. Presade before we proceed." "JONNY:" "We didn't program any of this." "Wait." "SURD:" "slowly frying away to nothing." "[SCREAMING]" "SURD:" "welcome to my playground, gentlemen." "JONNY:" "Wait." "SURD:" "vegetable du jour in five minutes." "[GASPS]" "Presade, notwithstanding the fact that we're all phenomenoIogists you look as if you've seen a ghost." "Perhaps I have, Benton." "I was meditating." "I saw your son, Jonny, Jessie and your young assistant, Hadji in terrible danger." "JULIA:" "Dr. Quest, such crude security systems you have." "You two secure the barn." "You're with me, Lorenzo." "LORENZO:" "Let's do it." "JULIA:" "Put on your goggles, Lorenzo, and watch your step." "QUEST:" "Jonny." "Come in, Jonny." "Do you read me?" "Come in." "No signal whatsoever." "The weather must be blanking all current satellite feeds." "Mercury 7 is due over in six hours." "That's the most powerful communication satellite in orbit." "PRESADE:" "Any break in the weather?" "If anything, it's getting worse." "We gotta communicate with them somehow." "Communication exists on many levels." "COMPUTER:" "Warning." "7rimary Quest compound security systems have been breached." "Warning. 7rimary Quest compound security systems have been breached." "I repeat. 7rimary Quest compound security systems have been breached." "JESSIE [AS RACE] :" "We gotta log off, Jonny." "JONNY [AS QUEST] :" "But we can't give up on Hadji." "Then we've gotta split up." "I'II go check out the compound." "Jessie Bannon logging out of QuestworId." "Terminate." "Terminate." "Terminate." "We're trapped." "SURD:" "really?" "I have, of course, overridden your verbal commands Jonny Quest and Jessie Bannon." "You knew it was us all along?" "I know your fathers are in the himalayas because I sent them there three weeks early." "And now that julia and Lorenzo have control of the Quest compound this little game is over." "PRESADE:" "Hadji." "Hadji." "Your friends are in danger, Hadji." "Wake up." "[GASPS]" "Jessie?" "Jonny?" "Jessie." "Ow!" "BOTH:" "Aah!" "[BOTH SCREAMING]" "COMPUTER:" "Compound security systems breached." "What?" "COMPUTER:" "I am not kidding." "7rimary security systems have been breached." "[BOTH SCREAMING]" "You did it." "I did?" "[GROWLING]" "JONNY:" "Hadji, you reactivate the security systems." "Jess and I can get into the main house through the kitchen." "Come on." "LORENZO:" "Aw, blast it." "cool it, Lorenzo." "There's supposed to be no one here except the punks and they're stuck in QuestworId, remember?" "What the--?" "[GRUNTS]" "[COUGHING]" "[JONNY SCREAMS]" "You, freeze or die." "[GASPS]" "So tell me, chiquita, where's your little friend?" "JONNY:" "Right behind you, chiquita with your little friend's gun cocked, safety off and ready to rock." "Gracias." "See, I'm not too hot on guns." "You little punk." "I, on the other hand, don't have a problem with them." "It's all a matter of how you use them, isn't it?" "JULIA:" "You're making a big mistake." "You're way over your heads." "[BOTH GASP]" "[GUNS COCKING]" "JULIA:" "Get him." "[SHOUTS]" "[GROWLING THEN BARKING]" "[GUNSHOT]" "[SCREAMING]" "Discretion is the better part of valor, Lorenzo." "Jonny, are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "But when Dad sees this mess, he's gonna have a fit." "I think Mrs. Evans calls it a conniption." "SURD [O VER RADIO] :" "Julia, Lorenzo. 7rogress report, please." "The number you have dialed is temporarily out of service, Surd." "please hang up and try your call later." "Ha, ha." "JONNY [O VER PHONE] :" "You were snowed in, huh?" "Sounds scary." "No, what was scary was my friend Presade's visions of you three in danger." "Are you sure you're okay?" "Everything at the Quest compound's all right?" "Uh, yeah, everything's fine." "No problems here, Dad." "I have the feeling he's not being entirely truthful." "Heck, Benton, you don't have to be a phenomenologist to know that." "You know, Jonny, it is said that when a man lies, he kills a part of himself." "It's not a lie, Hadj." "It's a protective fib." "Besides, someone has to shelter my dad from the harsh realities of Iife." "[ENGLISH SDH]" "[CROWD CHEERING]" "[RAGE WHISTLES]" "RAGE:" "This should be all the proof Washington needs."

"Uh, but you're a little late." "My business here in Panagua's over." "Oh, well, that's a relief." "Then we can enjoy the fiesta together." "Yes, come on, Daddy." "RAGE:" "Listen, munchkin, it's, uh" " It's too crowded." "Why don't we all just go back to the hotel and have a quiet game of bingo?" "But I wanna see the skeletons." "KarIa, wait." "ABBY:" "Zeke, what's wrong?" "Let's go." "There are even scarier skeletons back at the hotel." "really?" "would I lie to you?" "[CROWD GRO ANING]" "[GASPS]" "Mm." "That's him." "karla, run." "Run!" "[TIRES SQUEALING]" "Don't tell me." "Your company sold the Panaguan government some defective computer equipment." "RAGE:" "I'm afraid computer sales is just a cover, Abby." "I actually work for the government." "You mean--?" "Daddy's a spy." "Right, Daddy?" "well, uh, you're right, karla." "Uh, daddy's a spy." "Now, uh, how was school today?" "Don't look at me like that, Abby." "I was gonna tell you." "I was just waiting for the right time." "falcon, this is Raven." "I need backup, and I need it now." "Repeat, this is Raven." "I need backup." "FALCON:" "It's Zeke." "What's his status?" "MAN:" "The guy's horse meat." "He's got half the Panaguan army on his tail." "So, what are we waiting for?" "Let's get him out." "FALCON:" "Not without orders to intervene." "And I mean direct orders from the Pentagon." "falcon, come in." "Don't fly south on me now, guys." "I need help." "falcon, I've got hatchIings with me." "Do you copy?" "I'II get us out of this." "Now have some faith." "[GUNFIRE]" "GENERAL:" "You heard me right, falcon." "Do not attempt to intervene." "This country cannot afford an international incident there." "FALCON:" "But sir" "GENERAL:" "I repeat, boy, the Raven is on his own." "RAGE:" "falcon, I've got hatchIings in the nest." "And if anything happens to them, I swear, there'II be no place you can hide." "I'II hunt you down like dogs!" "[TIRES SQUEALING]" "[CRASH]" "Easy, Jonny." "Stay on the road." "Oh, Race, don't blame me." "It's this New Mexican goat trail." "Jonny, look out." "JONNY:" "Hang on." "[TIRES SQUEALING]" "Oh." "Everybody okay?" "See, Jess, I do brake for lizards." "Lucky for you." "These are fringe-toed Iizards." "They're endangered." "Not anymore they're not." "Keys, please." "Hmm." "Fringe-toed Iizards are usually only found in california's CoacheIIa valley." "Do you think that's what brought Dr. small Wood out here?" "No, Jessie, it wasn't fringe-toed Iizards." "It was solitude." "Hugo got tired of all that big-city hustle." "He's a naturalist and this is nature." "But that bat creature he told you about sounds almost supernatural, Dad." "Maybe he's been on his own too long." "believe me, if Hugo small Wood says he saw something strange in those caverns then it definitely exists." "I believe it." "And we'II find it, whatever it is." "HADJI:" "Perhaps we should've called from CarIsbad." "QUEST:" "Dr. small Wood doesn't believe in phones." "We just have to hope our letter arrived." "JESSIE:" "It's right here, in his sketchbook." "Whoa, the doc's a pretty cool artist." "Hey, that looks like the one I missed, Jess." "And this looks like the bat he wrote your dad about." "I wonder where he is." "There's fresh tire tracks leading off this way." "Race and I will take a look around." "You guys stay put in case Dr. small Wood shows up." "JESSIE:" "These sketches are as good as a photograph." "Hey, we could see for miles from up there." "Maybe we can spot Dr. small Wood." "You go ahead." "One of us should hold the fort." "Why should the wise tiger follow his foolish cousins?" "RACE:" "I guess it's small Wood's truck." "One of his sketchpads is in the front seat." "He must be exploring these caves." "Come on, Iet's take a look." "Hugo?" "[BATS SCREECHING]" "Hugo." "Benton, is that you?" "What happened?" "We must get out." "We're in terrible danger." "RACE:" "What the...?" "QUEST:" "What is it?" "I don't know, but I'II find out." "RAGE:" "behold the Book of Rage." "Race?" "Run, Benton." "Get out of here before it's too late." "JESSIE:" "Jonny, look at this." "What is that?" "It looks like some kind of an air vent." "JONNY:" "An air vent?" "For what?" "Jonny." "Jess." "I got you." "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "[BOTH SCREAMING]" "HADJI:" "Jessie." "Jonny." "[BOTH SCREAMING]" "You okay?" "JESSIE:" "Yeah, I think so, but-- HADJI:" "Aah!" "What's that sound?" "Hadji." "Hey, I thought the wise tiger wasn't gonna follow his foolish cousins." "A yogan has the right to change proverbs." "We gotta find another way out of here." "JESSIE:" "We could follow that underground river below the falls." "It has to come out somewhere." "JONNY:" "I've never seen so many bats." "Ew." "Or smelled so many." "Perhaps now might be an opportune time to practice the breath control I was teaching you." "You got it." "I guess that leaves me to find a clothespin." "daylight." "And, oh, man, fresh air." "We're not the first people to discover this cavern, guys." "And I don't think it's marked on the local tour map." "Looks like some kind of storage facility for nuclear waste." "An unsavory Ieftover from the cold War, perhaps." "experimental nerve gas." "JESSIE:" "I wonder if my dad knows all this stuff is buried down here." "Yeah, well, we can tell him when we get out of here." "Come on." "[ALL GASPING]" "hello, there." "Can you help us?" "We're lost." "RAGE:" "Lost?" "You will be lost no more." "Hadji, Jessie, run." "RAGE:" "karla?" "You're safe now, karla." "Daddy wouldn't let anything happen to his munchkin, now, would he?" "The name's Jessie, pal." "EzekieI Rage will deliver his punishment to those of little faith." "Punishment, karla, punishment." "By the book." "EzekieI Rage?" "Covert-operations agent." "Missing and presumed dead in a failed operation in Panagua." "Oh, silly little Race Bannon." "You and the agency are what's wrong with this world." "You have lost your morals and your faith, and you're not even aware of it." "well, I am the new faith." "Like the phoenix risen from the ashes I have been reborn to avenge the death of my family." "And I shall cleanse this world of evil." "He went to the dark caverns, where the weapons of doom were buried and found the smoke of destruction." "Smoke of destruction?" "He must mean that nerve gas." "What are you talking about?" "There's a whole bunch of nerve gas and nuclear waste back there in barrels." "Yes, foul rain shall faII on those in power." "Those who left my family to die." "Ha, ha." "I'II say one thing about your precious covert operations." "Were it not for them I never would have known about this secret little waste dump." "I'm sorry I got you into this." "I had no idea what we were dealing with." "A psychopath." "A violent, angry man on a fanatical crusade." "Hadji, forget the yoga." "We need to get loose." "That is exactly what I'm trying to do but I just wish I had practiced my yoga more dutifully." "Ugh." "RACE:" "Hey, we gotta move, boys." "We gotta clear those rocks out." "HADJI:" "please, Race, one minor obstacle at a time." "What I'd give for a couple of sticks of dynamite." "Maybe there's another way out." "JONNY:" "Jess, those geckos are what got us into this mess in the first place." "Fringe-toed Iizards, not geckos." "And they must be coming from somewhere." "Now give me a boost." "[JESSIE GRUNTING]" "There's a passageway." "I think it's just big enough for me to squeeze through." "Hey, not so fast." "You're not doing this alone." "Jessie, Jonny, stay cool." "Be careful." "QUEST:" "Just try to reach the truck, Hadji, and radio for help." "Come on, we gotta move fast or we're gonna lose him." "We need help, Hadji." "call the cops." "You got it." "Jess, come on." "We're gonna follow that lunatic." "JESSIE:" "He must be going back for more gas." "Now's our chance to slow this guy down." "Uh-oh." "Give me a hand with this." "Easy." "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "Yes, the time of vengeance grows near." "So saith the Book of Rage." "The book." "Where is it?" "Without it, I have nothing." "Come on, Jess, Iet's move." "Wait a minute, I just wanna see what's inside this thing." "This crazy book of his." "[GASPS]" "Jonny, this must be his wife and daughter." "That's all that's in this book." "It's nothing but a picture of his family." "My book." "Don't touch my book." "The moment of judgment is upon us." "Jonny." "RAGE:" "The gas of destruction has claimed him, karla." "Those are the breaks." "But this time, you have survived." "Vengeance shall be mine." "karla, ha, ha we will make those fools pay." "Ha, ha." "The name is Jessie." "And you're not going anywhere, Rage." "What?" "What have you done, my little munchkin?" "Is this any way to treat your loving father?" "JONNY:" "Jessie." "JESSIE:" "Jonny, you're alive." "Yeah, thanks to Hadji's breathing lessons." "Too bad you're just in time to go down with the ship." "Maybe not, if you don't mind sharing a parachute." "JESSIE:" "Jonny." "One alone shall be spared." "Better reread the book, Rage." "Hang on, Abby." "I'm coming to meet you, honey." "[JONNY GRUNTS]" "JONNY:" "Hadji." "Am I dreaming?" "I thought for sure the gas had finished you." "Not a chance." "I held my breath so long, I guess I fell asleep." "Looks like the cavalry's arrived." "Late, as usual." "JONNY:" "Dad." "I'm glad you're okay." "Jessie, what happened?" "MAN:" "There was an incident involving some ruptured canisters of a classified substance." "fortunately, it dissipates rapidly in the air." "The nerve gas?" "luckily, you were too deep in the caverns to be affected." "And what about the rest of the stuff you got down there?" "Now that its location has been compromised it will be removed to another site." "SMALL WOOD:" "They just keep burying their mistakes." "But sometimes they come back to haunt us all." "Like EzekieI Rage." "I don't think he'II be coming back this time, Dad." "JESSIE:" "I felt sorry for him." "I know, Jess." "But all he had left was his rage." "HADJI:" "Perhaps now the soul of the wounded tiger will find some peace." "[ENGLISH SDH]" "JONNY:" "Hey, Iris, how am I doing?" "IRIS:" "You have now completed 49 percent of Level 3." "Remaining obstacles include the level guardian as well as opposing racers, 1 and 2." "[ALERT BEEPING]" "Racer 1 closing on your position." "JONNY:" "I know, Iris." "He's coming right up my back." "JONNY:" "Check this out." "IRIS:" "Warning." "Your speed is too great to complete upcoming turn." "JONNY:" "That's exactly what I'm hoping." "slamming." "And I mean, slamming." "IRIS:" "Racer 2 has pinpointed your position and is in pursuit." "Caution." "Approaching rising bridge." "JONNY:" "Last one across is cyber dust." "Ha." "Piece of cake." "IRIS:" "Caution."

"[CRASH]" "JONNY:" "Unh." "What's going on?" "IRIS:" "Entity approaching." "JONNY:" "What entity?" "You never said anything about some entity." "IRIS: 7art of winning this game is overcoming unknown factors." "Whoa!" "What the...?" "What's going on?" "MAN:" "Washington." "Washington D.C." "[SEAGULLS CAWING]" "IRIS:" "System failure." "[GARBLED SPEECH PLAYING ON COMPUTER]" "MAN:" "Washington." "Washington D.C." "[GASPS]" "What is going on here?" "Oh, man." "Hadji, you're suppose to be monitoring this stuff." "Your agitation indicates another failure." "You're defeated again?" "Defeated nothing." "Man, I got this wild voice in the headset." "Something about Washington D.C. and some kind of digital map of the city." "Oh, that is not possible." "We programmed the whole game ourselves." "We did not input anything about Washington." "And we don't even have a digital map." "[STATIC BUZZING]" "This is too strange for school, Hadj." "It feels as if someone's messing us up." "Iris said something about an unidentified player just before she crashed." "HADJI:" "It makes no sense." "Who would want to interfere with our game?" "There's only one way to find out." "We reboot and see if it happens again." "Then we can attempt to trace the data stream." "What happened?" "The system crashed." "Why?" "I'm not sure." "well, now I'II have to reload the incoming transmissions." "It's hard to believe that these signals are from Gamma Sentari." "A source 1 23 Iight-years away." "And no one knows what they mean." "Not yet." "NASA's been monitoring them for three weeks." "It took them three weeks to ask you to figure it out?" "Those boys in Washington are even slower than they look." "You got that right, Mr. Bannon." "apologize, sir." "Didn't realize you were online, Mr. Vice President." "Don't apologize, son." "Washington needs a dose of truth." "So tell me, Quest, what do you make of these signals?" "It's clear they're attempting to communicate with each other, sir." "But my guess is that for some reason, they're not making the connection." "JONNY:" "I don't get it, Hadj." "The game mode's back to normal." "Whoa!" "IRIS:" "Caution." "Falling here will end the game." "JONNY:" "Thanks, Iris." "Maybe you could tell me something useful, Iike how to beat this guy." "IRIS:" "I am not programmed to give suggestions." "JONNY:" "Ha." "talk about suggestions." "Hey, Iris, I got a suggestion for you." "Activate wheel blade." "[JONNY CHEERS]" "[JONNY GRUNTS]" "JONNY:" "obstacle ahead." "Activate forward cannon." "Whoa." "What the...?" "What's going on?" "What is this?" "Re-syncing the data at the third and fifth levels is an interesting idea, sir." "I should have thought of that myself." "Must have been something we said." "JONNY:" "It's crashing, Hadji." "QUEST:" "Jonny." "Jonny?" "Heh." "Get this, Hadji." "Now I'm hearing my father's voice." "It is your father." "Take that thing off." "Oh." "Uh, hi, Dad." "We were just" "overloading the processors is what you were doing." "Yeah, I didn't realize." "You've crashed the entire system." "Sorry, Dad." "QUEST:" "Hmm." "Look, Race and I have to go to" "Washington?" "How did you know?" "virtually, a guess." "I guess." "Heh." "You wanna come with us?" "Sure, why not?" "VICE PRESIDENT:" "Let me remind you that I am the vice president, general tyler." "TYLER:" "And I'II remind you, Mr. Vice President, that you're outvoted." "I will not halt our experiments in space." "At least listen to what Dr. Quest will have to say." "I have no interest in civilian opinions." "The space-based defense system is a military matter." "Dr. Quest's a brilliant man, general." "When I need your advice, I'II ask for it, Commander Bennett." "[DOOR OPENS]" "[DOOR CLOSES]" "Cut the top 1 2 percent of the sign wave, Hadji." "Top 1 2 percent cut, doctor." "[GASPS]" "The V.R. system just kicked in." "VICE PRESIDENT:" "Difficulty-- 7entagon" "Can't get out- -threaten General Tyler." "Our system has crashed again." "And I heard that bizarre-o voice again." "Something about the Pentagon and general Tyrone." "tyler?" "general tyler?" "Yeah, yeah, maybe." "He was a big old boy." "That big old boy is our date for the day." "What's going on, Dad?" "I'm not sure, Jonny." "But it seems your V.R. system is reconfiguring the sign waves." "Hadji, log me into QuestworId." "HADJI:" "QuestworId, log on." "Subject:" "Dr. Benton Quest." "Countdown." "Five, four, three, two, one." "Going hot." "Now rerun the transmissions from deep space." "Now it makes perfect sense." "This confirms my worst fears." "Dr. Quest is here to see you, general." "I'm taking this meeting under protest." "Nothing like a warm military welcome, general." "Race Bannon."

"That could tear us to shreds." "Heads up, everyone." "[ALL SCREAMING]" "JESSIE:" "Hang on." "[ALL SCREAMING]" "Bandit!" "Hang on, boy." "Hang on." "I got you, boy." "Jonny, look out." "[ALL SCREAMING]" "[COUGHING]" "Oh, no." "Where is everybody?" "HADJI:" "Over here, Jonny." "QUEST:" "Jonny?" "Dad?" "Are you all right?" "JESSIE:" "That was great." "Great?" "I seem to have lost my headgear." "Better than losing your head." "Come on." "JONNY:" "Bandit." "Bandit." "Where are you, boy?" "Come on, Bandit." "Where are you, Bandit?" "JESSIE:" "Bandit, come on." "JONNY:" "Bandit." "HADJI:" "Bandit." "He had his life jacket on." "He'II be all right." "Look, over there." "Oh, my." "This does not look good." "JONNY:" "Besides Bandit, we've lost roughly one-third of our food." "And our waIkie-taIkies." "well, at Ieast we still have our good looks." "More importantly, the beacon is still intact." "JONNY:" "Dad, Race, over here." "Bandit's paw prints." "He's alive." "Come on, guys, we gotta get moving." "hold on, Jonny." "We can't miss the rendezvous." "The rendezvous." "Right." "Dr. Quest, Jonny, Hadji and I couId go after Bandit and meet up with you later." "I suppose." "Dad." "AII right." "Yes!" "Right." "We have struck in, I believe." "You mean struck out, Hadji." "actually, we didn't." "We hit a grand slam." "I have never claimed to comprehend silly sports analogies." "Meet us at the rendezvous point before the sun sets." "With or without Bandit." "Y'aII got about four hours till sundown." "And listen to your old man, Jonny." "These canyons aren't safe to be stomping around in after dark." "Don't sweat it, Race." "What else can go wrong?" "I bet you're looking forward to meeting up with alice Starseer." "Just think of it, Race." "The places she's seen." "Other galaxies, other worlds." "SURD:" "Just keep tracking." "SURD:" "Child's play." "There must be something that's still amusing." "[GUNSHOT]" "[GUNSHOT]" "[GUN COCKS]" "LORENZO:" "Dr. Surd." "[GUNSHOT]" "What is it now, Lorenzo?" "LORENZO:" "We're a hundred miles out of the canyon, starting our descent." "QuestworId log off." "SURD:" "I cannot tell you how much I resent these returns to the real world." "JONNY:" "The Anasazi Granaries." "RACE:" "It doesn't seem possible that they really farmed this area." "There's still a great deal we have to Iearn about the Anasazi and how they lived." "JONNY:" "He came this way, all right." "But the tracks end here." "No, they don't." "Look." "[GASPS]" "The climb will be difficult, and we have very little time remaining." "JESSIE:" "Hey, guys." "Check this out." "JONNY:" "Whoa. " 1 87 1 , C.E.E."?" "colorado exploration Expedition." "John wesley powell's second trip to the Grand Canyon." "If a one-armed man can handle it, we can handle it." "HADJI:" "AII right, then." "Here is the campsite and here is the rendezvous point and here is our position." "That means after we find Bandit we can go overland to the Granaries here." "Before nightfall?" "No problemo." "Remember, Hadj, the optimist always sees the doughnut but the pessimist sees only the hole." "In this instance, it is a very large hole." "Do you think he even listened to me?" "Nope." "Any sign of alice?" "No." "Jonny and the others should have been here by now." "relax, Benton." "They'II be here soon." "When do you think alice will show?" "I suspect it'II be sometime after nightfall." "[CRACKLE]" "It sounds like she's early." "What the...?" "Maybe you were expecting some little green spacemen?" "Raise them high." "You too, hotshot." "[GUNSHOT]" "hold your horses, pal." "Ah!" "I've had it with you, Bannon." "Race, here." "Catch." "Race, watch out." "Okay." "Okay." "You win." "Hey." "[GUNSHOTS]" "JULIA:" "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Dr. Quest." "killing you might upset Dr. Surd and that's a pleasure he'd rather reserve for himself." "Huh?" "Oh." "[CHUCKLES]" "Hey, guys, there's more of Bandit's paw prints up here." "What'd he do, sprout wings or something?" "Or perhaps he found an escalator." "Come on, Hadj, it's a piece of cake." "HADJI:" "I am only hoping that it is not an upside-down cake." "JONNY:" "Come on, Hadj, you're almost there." "Yes." "Yes, my friend." "I just wish I had a pair of elevator shoes." "Oh, my goodness." "Ah!" "Hadji!" "Hadj!" "This is not good." "Hadji, are you okay?" "Yes." "I am afraid I have found myself between the proverbial rock and a very hard place." "hold on, Hadj." "I do not believe I have an alternative." "Here, grab on." "HADJI:" "I just cannot reach it." "Just a couple of feet short." "couple of feet?" "A couple of feet." "Jonny?" "I do not wish to rush you, my friends but I seem to be losing my grip." "Like you said, Hadj." "What?" "There just aren't a whole lot of alternatives." "Come on, Hadj." "Gotcha!" "HADJI:" "I must say that I prefer my solid ground to be horizontal rather than vertical." "Okay." "One, two, three." "Whew." "JONNY:" "Like I said, a piece of" " Cake?" "Hi." "I'm Jonny Quest and these are my friends, Jessie and Hadji." "I know your name, Jonny Quest." "You do?" "Yes." "It's on your dog's collar." "[WHIMPERS]" "Bandit." "Let's go." "Now." "So Jeremiah Surd's putting in a personal appearance." "LORENZO:" "Sit down, doc." "SURD:" "Just tell me when you're meeting your little friend and I'll refrain from killing you." "I told you, we're not meeting anyone." "SURD: 7lease, Dr. Quest, don't insult my intelligence." "I've hacked your computer files on this fascinating object." "I've also accessed a number of secret government files." "Would you care to take a look?" "Really, Dr. Quest, space ships?" "Anasazi Indians becoming extraterrestrial travelers?" "Your girlfriend, Alice Starseer, leaving the planet?" "Come with me, Benton." "SURD:" "If I didn't have all this evidence I would have taken you for a complete crackpot." "I'II never forget you." "SURD:" "You're such an impolite Earthling too." "Alice Starseer is returning for a terrestrial visit and you weren't even gonna roll out the red carpet." "I, on the other hand have a much more interesting reception planned for her." "[BARKING]" "WOMAN:" "Someone's been here." "JONNY:" "shell casings." "HADJI:" "And that appears to be blood." "Looks like several people left in a helicopter." "How'd you know that?" "You must have noticed how the rotor had flattened all the brush." "Then you saw the tracks the landing gear made and you figured it had to be a helicopter, right?" "actually, I saw a big Chinook skirting the north rim..." "...just before we found you three." "Oh." "Jonny, this rendezvous who was it your father was expecting to meet?" "Benton." "You don't know how much it means to me that you've come here to help bury my grandfather." "It was important to him that he be brought to Earth and laid to rest in the ways of our ancestors." "I wish I couId say I was happy to see you, alice." "What are you talking about?" "This place, I thought we were going to meet" "SURD:" "There's been a change in plans." "Very impressive entrance, Miss Starseer." "I feel privileged to have witnessed it." "Benton, who--?" "SURD:" "Dr. Jeremiah Surd." "And you are at my service." "As you can see, I live most of my life inside my exceptional mind augmented somewhat by the virtual reality of Questworld." "Of course, it does have its limitations." "But inside your head, my dear lie memories and thoughts of an intergalactic level." "Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to access it." "You're out of your league, Dr. Surd." "SURD:" "Oh, you might be right, but I doubt it." "Terminate Quest and Bannon." "Questworld log on." "Subjects:" "Jeremiah Surd and Alice Starseer." "[THUNDER CRACKING]" "SURD:" "You're fighting me, Miss Starseer." "Not advisable." "[GRUNTING]" "SURD:" "Questworld is my universe." "That's better." "Tremendous." "The birth of a star." "More than I had even dreamed." "JULIA:" "feel free to plead for your pathetic lives." "I promise you it'II fall on deaf ears." "JONNY:" "Oh, I don't know." "Our hearing's still pretty good." "[BARKING]" "Let me guess." "The cavalry to the rescue?" "MAN:" "No, Indians." "WOMAN:" "Yo, paIeface." "How." "Watch out." "Hey, you." "Not nice to litter like that." "Now, don't you know you're not supposed to play with knives?" "RACE:" "Pa always told me that it's not polite to hit a lady." "But then again, Miss julia, you're no lady." "SURD:" "With your mind downloaded into Questworld the universe is mine." "The alien home planet." "With this technology, my powers will be infinite." "QUEST:" "Wrong, Surd." "You've reached the end of the line." "SURD:" "Quest?" "No!" "welcome to reality, Surd." "SURD:" "I understand the beauty of forgiveness but letting Surd and his thugs go makes no sense whatsoever." "We must honor our tribal laws." "Right, I get it." "When an elder of the tribe dies, to help appease the gods and insure him safe passage to the other world the tribe must set all their captured prisoners free." "Your father has taught you well, Jonny." "We have come very far to honor the passing of a great man." "[INDIANS CHANTING]" "[THUNDER CRACKING]" "farewell, Grandfather and dear friend."
