[SQUAWKING AND CHATTERING]
[MISSILE APPROACHING]
[CRASH]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
Excellent. Excellent.
Our deflection calculations
worked perfectly.
Yes, sir. Their
missile landed intact.
You have your bearings
on the crash point?
Yes, sir. We have
it plotted exactly.
Set your course and
proceed at full speed.
DOCTOR: Could we run that
videotape again, professor?
Of course, Dr. Quest.
Now, notice, doctor,
this is the point at which
our missile began to veer.
At the same time,
the destruction
mechanism failed to activate.
We lost sight of it completely.
No matter how many
times I run the tape,
I still don't understand it.
Neither do I, but
I'll take a guess.
It's got to be either
malfunction, tampering
or an outside force
taking over the
controls of our missile.
Let's hope we learn the answers
after I reach the crash point.
Dr. Quest,
there could be others trying
to reach our missile before you.
That possibility has already
occurred to me, professor.
I'll try to be careful.
We'll give you air cover
when you put to sea.
Thanks.
I'll feel a lot
better if you do.
The North Pole? Wow!
Not quite all the way
to the North Pole, Jonny.
Near enough. I'll
bet it'll be cold too.
[BARKING]
That's our Bandit,
always thinking ahead.
[SPLOOSH]
HADJI: Your teeth are too sharp,
little one.
RACE: Now, if there
was tampering
Well, Race, it would explain
the failure of the
destruction mechanism.
Which could mean only one thing.
Whoever they are, they
want that missile intact.
Sir?
Yes?
Last bearing puts
us due east of target.
Good.
What is ETA?
0500, sir.
Look here.
This is our position,
and here is the missile.
We will attempt the
surface breakthrough
here.
[ALARM BUZZING]
VOICE OVER P.A.:
Scramble. Scramble.
Scramble, IF2 and IF3.
Scramble. Scramble.
IF2 to combat control.
What course to bogey? Over.
Combat control to IF2. No bogey.
Fly top cover for Quest
Arctica Expedition.
Over.
PILOT: Wilco. IF2 out.
Aw, there's nothing
to it, Bandit, old boy.
Just keep your feet together
and shush.
I think the word
is "schuss," Jonny.
Oh, shush, sloosh.
All you've got to
do is slide. Ready?
Me, I am ready,
but you better ask Bandit.
Aw, he's always
ready for some fun.
Alley-oop!
Catch him, Hadji!
He is too fast.
Oh, no!
He's going below deck!
[CRASH]
Is, uh, this your dog?
Sorry, captain.
Aw, come on, Bandit.
Please say you forgive us.
Bandit, I do trick.
Look. What is this in your ear?
Sim, sim, sala bim!
A dog biscuit.
[CHOMP, GULP]
Good work, Hadji.
Looks like we're forgiven.
Captain, message from base.
Yes?
"We plan to intercept and
destroy the Quest ship."
Good. Continue on course.
Look, Jonny. Whales!
How'd you like to
have that little one
home in a fishbowl?
Yes, king-sized fish bowl.
RACE: King-sized is right.
That little one
doesn't weigh more
than, oh, four or five tons.
That much, Race?
Yep.
The mother will run
from 50 to 80 tons herself.
I guess I'll stick
to you, Bandit.
[SLURPING]
Hey! Hey!
Better get your
gear together, boys.
Are we that close
to the missile, Dad?
As close as the icebreaker
can bring us, son.
We transfer to our snow goose
first thing in the morning.
HADJI: So that is a snow goose?
DOCTOR: Right,
specifically designed and built
for Arctic use.
Hey, Hadj. Look over
there. Someone goofed.
They brought the airplane,
but they forgot the wings.
[CHUCKLES] It's not
an airplane, Jonny.
It's a snow skimmer.
We'll use it for fast trips
back to the ship.
It'll do over 100 miles an hour.
That means we don't
get to use a dogsled?
Not this trip, son.
Aw, too bad, Bandit.
We were gonna put you to work.
Come on, boy.
Mush. Mush, Bandit.
Mush!
I used the right word with him.
He acts just like
a bowl of mush.
PILOT: IF2 to combat control.
We are orbiting the Quest ship.
CONTROL: Combat control to IF2.
Your message
received and understood.
Hold it. Radar just
picked up a bogey.
He's at 90,000. Investigate.
Wilco. IF2 out.
IF3 to IF2.
I see him.
Bogey at 11:00.
No markings.
Hey, he just let go
an air-to-ground missile.
Let's get that missile first,
then the bogey.
Roger.
Right on target.
Now for the bogey.
Do you see him, IF3?
Yeah. He's at 3:00 low.
Boy, look at him run.
Let him go. We'll resume orbit.
Radio message from base, sir.
Orders are: Stop Quest.
You are to use
all possible means
to delay him.
Prepare torpedo attack.
There it is.
Bearing? Mark?
Bearing 065.
EXECUTIVE OFFICER:
Forward torpedo-room ready.
CAPTAIN: Fire one.
EXECUTIVE OFFICER: Torpedo away.
On target.
No! No!
A hit, sir?
Yes, a hit on an iceberg.
Dive. We will try later.
What do you suppose
that explosion was from, doctor?
It could have been
from an old mine
left over from the war.
But, then again
I want armed lookouts
posted fore and aft, Race.
Right, doctor.
RACE: Tomorrow is the big day.
DOCTOR: I know.
I'm anxious to get
this job over with.
Are the guards posted?
Yes, sir.
It's pretty spooky
out there tonight.
Get the raft in
the water. Quietly.
RAFT MAN: Yes, sir.
Ready, sir.
You know your orders.
Yes, sir. To
eliminate Dr. Quest.
Correct,
but as quietly as possible.
If the ship is aroused,
we cannot wait for you.
Understood?
Yes, sir. I understand.
After we unload in the morning,
I want the group to
stay close together.
Good idea, doctor.
I'll double-check the supplies.
And while you're at
it, look in on the boys,
will you, Race?
RACE: Anything else?
No, I
RACE: Guard, port side, quick!
Guard, who was it?
I don't know, sir.
It's too dark to see.
Look at this, Race.
Whoever it was has a
very deadly calling card.
Keep a sharp lookout, guard.
Yes, sir.
[♪♪♪]
[BOMB TICKING]
[BANDIT BARKING]
Wonder what Bandit's
doing out on deck?
Here, boy. Bandit.
[BOMB TICKING, BANDIT BARKING]
Come here, boy.
Here, boy. Here.
Good boy, Bandit.
Hey, what have you got there?
Hold it. Hold it.
Holy mackerel.
You got a live one.
But our man on the raft?
We can delay no longer.
We are at missile position, sir.
Stand by to surface.
Break out the ice gear.
Landing party,
stand by to go ashore.
[ENGINE SPUTTERS, TURNS OVER]
Okay, doctor, roll it.
We'll be following you.
Thanks, commander.
Okay, Race, let's shove off.
Last lap, Race.
Well, let's hope that
destruction mechanism
hasn't decided
to turn itself on.
Hey, look up ahead, Dad.
A walrus.
I can't go around him.
JONNY: Try giving
him a nudge, Race.
Okay.
What do we do now, Dad?
Well, I'm open to suggestions.
Race?
I take it you don't
want to shoot it?
I'd rather not.
It is big.
[BARKS FEROCIOUSLY]
How about Bandit
chasing him away?
[WHIMPERS]
[CHUCKLES] He
was just fooling, boy.
How about trying
the bullhorn, doctor?
Good idea, Race.
Can I use it, Dad?
Fine with me.
Go easy on the eardrums.
Okay, here goes.
[SHOUTING] Get off
the road, you road hog!
[BANDIT BARKING]
It worked. He took off.
My ears, they're still ringing.
[CHUCKLES] Hard to
decide which is worse,
the illness or the cure.
We're in luck.
The missile's
still in one piece.
COMMANDER: There's only one
way to work on that missile, doctor:
A catwalk.
I think you're right, commander.
Now, we'll start in about here,
and run it right up
to the missile hatch.
The missile is so much
bigger when you get close up.
Almost half of it's under ice.
JONNY: What's the matter, boy?
Hey, look, in the
water. A whale.
RACE: Not just a whale.
That's a killer whale.
Come on, Jonny.
I'll show you how to
run the snow skimmer
while we're waiting.
Hey, swell. Then
I'll teach Hadji.
Stand behind the snow
cart for a minute, Jonny.
I'll show you how
to stop this thing fast.
That's enough brakes
to stop anything.
Okay, climb aboard.
Ready?
Let her go.
Wow!
How do you like it, Jonny?
Boy, nothing could
catch this baby.
Hang on. I'm hitting the brakes.
Okay, Jonny, you take it back.
Let's go.
JONNY: Yippee!
Hey, hold it down.
A fine job, commander.
Many thanks.
We'll maintain
air patrol, doctor.
Good.
All right, let's move out, men.
I'm going to take a look
inside the missile now, Race.
Good, good.
Wait until they are
inside, then take them.
Well, that answers that.
What, doctor?
Take a look.
The destruction activator
has been cut through.
So that's how they
downed the missile intact.
Then they could pick up
your newest directional system.
CAPTAIN: Precisely
why we are here.
Ah, the villain.
Hardly villains.
Merely interested
neutral observers.
Who do a little
equipment snatching
on the side.
That is our purpose.
Lock them up,
and transfer the
directional system
to the submarine.
This will hold them.
So they came in a submarine.
No wonder they weren't spotted.
Our orders were to pick
up the two boys also.
[BANDIT BARKING]
The boys would be with the dog.
Hey, wait, Bandit. No, boy.
HADJI: Little bears are
not for you to play with.
[BEARS WHIMPERING]
[BARKING]
[MAMA BEAR GROWLS]
[BANDIT WHIMPERING]
You'll never learn,
will you, boy?
Jonny, look.
JONNY: Oh, boy. A baby seal.
Let's see if we can catch him.
Gotcha, gotcha.
Don't get upset. I'm
not gonna hurt you.
Whoop. Hey!
Let me down! Let me down!
Hey! Hey!
That looks like fun.
Get me out of here.
Come on, let me down.
Get me out of here!
You will never learn,
will you, Jonny?
Oop!
Hey, Hadji's my friend.
What do you think you're do?
Quiet. Come with us.
[BANDIT GROWLING]
It will be better
for that animal
if you keep it quiet too.
You can't blame him.
He knows a couple of
skunks when he smells them.
Hey, Jonny, that's one of our
One of yours, am I right?
Then wave.
Go on, wave at the plane.
Now you.
So I'm waving. I'm waving.
Harder,
and wave as if you are
glad to see the plane.
That's the Quest group.
They're all waving.
Everything must be okay.
Right. Let's head
back to the base.
They saw us. Now we
Hey!
Run, Hadji, run.
I'll stop him.
Thattaboy, Hadji. Go, go, go!
Calling submarine.
Calling submarine.
Boy escaping in snow skimmer.
Intercept. Repeat, intercept.
Well, it was a nice
try anyway, Hadji.
Dad! Race!
Thank heavens you're both safe.
What's going on, Dad?
Who are they? What're
they doing here?
They're after the missile's
directional brain, Jonny.
It looks as if they're
going to get it.
They'll get it, all right,
but not what they came for.
What do you mean, doctor?
I managed to activate
the destruction mechanism
before we left the missile.
Gosh, Dad, will it explode?
In less than three minutes.
Doctor, they're
coming back this way.
What do you suppose they want?
If I had a guess, me.
HADJI: But why?
I don't know, Hadji.
[DOOR OPENS]
You, come with us.
Dad, don't go.
It's all right,
son. Don't worry.
But, Dad, you'll
But if he goes
back there, he'll be
Why didn't he tell them
it's set to explode, Race?
You know the
answer to that, Jonny.
He won't tell them, not
even to save his own life.
We need your
valuable assistance,
Dr. Quest.
You will remove the
directional brain for us.
Hey.
Hey, Dad's got away from them.
He's headed back
across the catwalk.
Oh, no.
He slipped.
He'll never
Get Quest.
Shoot. Shoot!
Dad's okay. He's coming over.
But, wow, there's
nothing left of that missile
but a hole in the ice.
Well, it's over,
doctor. Nobody won.
They didn't get the
missile and neither did we.
No, but we can start
over, and this time,
we'll build an even
better directional brain.
I guess you're right.
DOCTOR: Hey!
What was that, Race? A blizzard?
There's your storm, sir.
Hey, Dad, can we go ahead
and meet you back at the ship?
All right, but take it easy.
Right.
Arrivederci.
I wonder if they could get
a speeding ticket up here.
I don't know,
but when I get back to the
ship, they'll get worse than that.
Yippee!
Yap-adee!
