Jonny Quest (1964) s01e09 Episode Script

1
[♪♪♪]
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 interminably.
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,
Dr. Quest.
How soon could you
leave for Thailand?
Very shortly, professor.
As soon as I re-check
my experiments
and make certain my
calculations are correct.
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'll be careful.
Goodbye, professor.
Goodbye and good luck.
Come on, Race, you can tell us.
What's Dad been
doing in his laboratory?
I don't know, Jonny.
He's obviously working
on something important.
That's why he's asked
us not to disturb him.
[BARKING]
Quiet, Bandit.
You don't want to be
the only disturbing influence
around here, do you?
[WHIMPERING]
I think Bandit's feelings
have been hurt.
[GRUNTS]
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, let's go.
[BARKING]
Yes, Race,
it is a long way to Thailand,
but it's the only place
in the world
that particular 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, like my country.
Bandit's going to have
to keep on his toes.
Those jungles
are full of monkeys.
So I've heard.
You know, 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's not
too far ahead, Race.
Right, doctor.
Fasten your seatbelts, boys.
We're going down.
I can't wait to see Thailand.
And Bandit can't wait
to see those monkeys.
He wants to show
us who is smarter.
[BARKING]
[CHEEPING]
[LAUGHING]
Hey, look, Hadji,
Bandit's finally got Kogo
cornered.
I think not, Jonny.
Monkey too smart
for man's best friend.
You're right, Hadji.
You know, it's hard
to believe, Dr. Quest,
that this vine grows
only in Thailand.
It's true, Race,
and from that vine
comes the answer
to one of the problems
facing future space expeditions.
You mean the threat
of mental deterioration.
Right.
However, with this formula
Shh. There's
someone on that roof.
[ROOF RUSTLING]
[CHEEPING]
[LAUGHING]
I think our new friend
Kogo is really a secret agent.
Well, if he is,
we're in trouble.
[BARKING]
Look who we've got on our side.
Forget it, Bandit.
You'll never catch Kogo.
Hold it down,
fellows. I'm working.
Oh, sorry, Dad.
I think Bandit has not heard
of peaceful co-existence.
Kogo has. He
wants to be friends.
[GURGLING]
You were talking about
space expeditions, doctor.
Yes, Race.
Picture the crew
of this space ship
locked in their metal prison,
surrounded by billions
of miles of nothing
for as long as 16 years
at a stretch.
Whew, that's pretty rough.
The human mind
is not yet prepared for
such a test of solitude.
So what you're after is a
sort of giant tranquilizer.
Exactly.
We know now
that man has always found
ways to alter his emotions
by consuming various plants.
It's called hallucinogenics.
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 a flock of sheep
awaiting instructions.
Oh, 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 left-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 fail.
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 hams
Stop the jeep.
All right, boys, get
your cameras ready.
This is once in a lifetime.
What is it, Race?
It's a serow,
combination goat and antelope,
there on that rock.
HADJI: A serow
is very rare beast,
very shy.
RACE: Quiet.
[BARKING]
Oh, Bandit.
[CHEEPING ANGRILY]
[LAUGHING]
I couldn't have
said it better myself.
Wow. Look down there.
You look.
In previous life, I
was fish, not bird.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
What's the rush, Suthep?
Nothing to see here.
We must get to destination
so that 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.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
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!
[BRAKES SCREECHING]
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.
I'll tell you what, boys.
We'll go down and
get our pictures,
and you wait here.
Why can't we come,
Race?
Sorry, fellows.
[WIMPERING]
No.
I can't let you go
down there on foot.
That's king cobra country.
We won't be long.
[BARKS]
It is not far now.
That's good.
I've got the wrong
haircut to play Tarzan.
It's unbelievable.
All this, carved by hand?
Yes.
Examine detailing of pedestal.
Very intricate work.
What the?
DEEP VOICE: I have him.
Hey, what is this?
Hey, what is this?
Let's cut out the fun and
games, Little Sir Echo.
What's going on here?
Let's cut out the fun and
games, Little Sir Echo.
What's going on here?
Release him, Tabak.
He's not going anywhere.
Okay, I'll play.
Now, 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's name is
John, my mother's 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.
[LAUGHING]
Hey, look, Jonny.
Green beauty lizard.
Neat. I'll get the camera.
Kogo, will you
stop wasting film?
Maybe Kogo wants picture taken.
[BARKING]
Okay, Bandit, we'll
take your picture.
[SHUTTER CLICKING]
Hey, will you stand still?
[BARKING]
JONNY: Hey,
Bandit's found a ball.
HADJI: I'm afraid
he's in for a surprise.
[BOYS LAUGHING]
You boys sound like
you're having a ball.
Bandit thought he
had one, but 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.
[NERVOUSLY] Oh Yeah, Kogo.
Come here, boy.
[CHEEPING]
Not very sociable today, is he?
HADJI: Jonny, I
have a strange feeling.
Yeah, me too.
You're about to cry "uncle."
Something is wrong with Race.
Oh, there you go again.
Observe, Jonny
After Race returned from Buddha,
Kogo would not go near him.
Hey, no fair using two hands.
[CHEEPING]
[SPEAKS ANOTHER LANGUAGE]
King cobra.
Kogo!
He won't give us
any 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.
JONNY: I wonder how it got here.
I don't know,
but you boys sleep
with your shutters
closed tonight.
Will do, Dad. Good night.
Good night, Jonny.
Hadji
JONNY: 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 pictures of Buddha.
Maybe he saw something, or
[YAPS]
Hey, maybe the
answer is in his camera.
The camera is in the lab.
Do you think we should?
Let's go.
Something's coming
through on this one.
Hey, what's this?
Someone's coming.
[DOOR OPENS]
What do you guys
think you're doing?
Oh, we're just
developing some film.
From my camera?
Yeah, but you
turned on the light,
and you ruined it.
We are very sorry.
Well, okay, then, let's
hit the sack, fellows.
Sure.
Good night, Race.
I wonder what
was in that camera.
I'm afraid our young
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?
Looks like Race.
It is Race.
With some big guy next to him.
Where did he come from?
And why didn't Race mention him?
[SNARLING]
Jonny, I hear something.
[GUNSHOTS]
Jade!
What are you doing here?
I have some business
with Race, naturally,
but I might ask you
the same question.
JONNY: We were just talking.
JADE: Alone in the jungle
in the middle of the night?
I know it sounds strange.
But we are truly
worried about Race.
Honestly, boys
We can't put our
finger on it, Jade,
but something's not right.
I'd better have a look
at Mr. Race Bannon
for myself.
[ITEMS CLINKING]
Oh, Race.
What's up?
I
The boys did a little
after-hours developing
in here, doctor.
I was just 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?
Why, any time
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
that you are in danger.
Please be careful.
Thanks, Jade, I will.
Well, good night, then.
Good night, Jade.
You have nothing
more to say to me?
Huh?
In the past, you have
been more talkative.
Why talk?
Better?
Oh, yes. Much better.
Where are we going, Jade?
To the Buddha.
You did say
Race started acting strange
after going there.
Yeah, do you know what it means?
It means that the man
in camp is not Race.
He isn't? How do you know?
There are some ways a
woman cannot be fooled.
HADJI: But who is the man?
And where is Race?
Perhaps the Buddha
will give us the answer.
HADJI: There is the
statue of the Buddha.
JONNY: Wow. Look at that.
[BANDIT BARKING, KOGO CHEEPING]
Bandit, leave Kogo alone.
Kogo has found something.
Look, it's Race's pen.
He's around here somewhere.
Perhaps there is an entrance.
It's the guy in the picture.
Please, allow me to show you in.
[GRUNTING]
[DOOR OPENS]
Jade.
Boys.
Well, we meet again, Race.
Your double is almost identical,
except a shade
better looking, 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?
First, tell me what
you've done with Race.
I will ask the questions.
[STRUGGLING]
For the last time, doctor,
where is the formula?
The one place you
can't get it In my head.
[YAWNING]
Won't you get kind
of bored, King Kong?
I mean, 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 10 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?
[BANDIT BARKING]
[WHIMPERS]
How did you?
Magic.
Watch.
Sim, sim, salabim.
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.
Huh?
There will be no
more magic tricks.
The time is up.
Yes, I think so too.
Sit down.
Why don't you make
me, Gargantua?
You have the gun.
And I will use it.
Be my guest.
[CLICKING]
Sahib,
are you looking for these?
Why, you
I've got his knife, Race.
Like you've always said,
"The bigger they are,
the harder they fall."
The explosive
must be set
electronically to the door.
Let's get out of here.
Run.
We can never make it in time.
Yes, we will. It's my pilot.
[HELICOPTER NEARS]
RACE: Everybody
in, on the double.
I think
I shall charge you
5000 pounds sterling
for this escape.
That sounds fair.
Put it on my bill.
Hadji, look.
Explosion frighten elephants.
KORCHEK: There are
many ways to make you talk.
DR. QUEST: 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.
[ELEPHANTS TRUMPETING]
Aah! It's the elephants!
They're almost to
Dad's laboratory.
Pilot, move over
the lead elephant.
I'll 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.
[STAMPEDING]
Yippee! Yahoo!
Yippee!
[SCREAMS]
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.
[SLURP, SLURP]
Oh, no, not you too, Bandit.
Stop it. Cut it out. Quit it.
[LAUGHTER]
[♪♪♪]
