Jonny Quest (1964) s01e18 Episode Script

1
[♪♪♪]
Fuel pressure normal.
Temperature 79.6.
RACE: Report hull pressure,
please, doctor.
Hull pressure remaining constant
at 1000 per sector, Race.
Let me talk to him, Race.
Hey, Dad.
Any deep sea monsters to report?
I sure have, Jonny.
He'd make your hair
stand right up on end.
What's he like?
Well, let's see.
He's like a dragon
from his neck to his tail.
He's got a long muzzle,
very much like a horse's.
What about his teeth, sir?
How big are they?
I can't tell, Hadji.
His mouth's closed.
HADJI: How big is this monster?
Oh, about 6 inches
from head to tail.
Six inches?
About.
Ask your father
the scientific name of
the, uh, monster, Jonny.
Hey, Dad,
what's the scientific
name for it?
Lophobranchiate.
Huh?
A lophobranchiate.
What's that?
[CHUCKLES]
What's so funny, Race?
Nothing,
but that 6-inch monster
is nothing more than
a common sea horse.
Sea horse?
Sea horse?
Sea horse, about this big.
Lophobranchiate.
His name is bigger than he is.
Uh-oh. Trouble, doctor?
I've got a squid stuck
all over my view screen.
How do you tell a
squid to get lost?
I can't navigate with him there.
Now would be a good time
to test the remote
control arms, doctor.
Good idea, Race.
If they can pull this thing off,
they'll be able to do anything.
They handle perfectly.
The control is so sensitive,
I bet I could even tie
my shoelaces with them.
Well, I'm finished here.
Test run 14, a success.
I'm bringing her up.
Good.
They have finished their test
and appear to be
returning to base.
Turn to Control
Center One's frequency.
Yes, sir.
MAN: Have you a report
on the Quest operation?
Svedri here, sir.
We have observed
the underwater probe
in action.
Well?
All phases of the
operation appear successful.
Good.
You know what to do, then?
Yes, sir.
Excellent.
I hold you responsible
for seeing to it
that the takeover
attracts no attention.
That is all.
[BARKING]
Here comes Dad.
How'd it go, doctor?
A-okay.
I think a few more test
runs and adjustments,
and we'll have it licked.
Oh, Race, when you get a chance,
would you check the
emergency ejector system?
There's something wrong
with the hydraulic circuits.
Will do, sir. Good.
I have an appointment
on the mainland.
Anybody care to join me?
[BARKS]
I'm sorry, Bandit.
You can't go this time.
JONNY: What's up, Dad?
A meeting
with a scientific
delegation from Calcutta.
I'll take a rain check.
I thought you would, Jonny.
I would like to go.
Fine.
Meet me at the
pier in a half-hour.
How come you're going, Hadj?
It has been a long time
since I spoke with
anyone from my own land,
and maybe someone
in the delegation
will teach me
another ancient
trick of the Orient.
Like this.
Sim, sim, sala, bim.
Oh, no.
Not the levitation trick again.
Hey, Hadji, that's enough.
Let me down.
Would you like to
come down slow or fast?
Oh, slow, please.
Real slow.
Sim, sim, sala, bim.
Boy.
How come an 11-year-old
knows so many tricks?
I don't know.
Just smart, I guess.
[LAUGHING]
DR. QUEST: Anything
you need from town, Race?
Can't think of a thing, doctor.
See you later.
So long.
Have a good trip.
[BARKS]
Hang on, Hadji.
I'm going to open her up.
[ENGINE REVS]
Yahoo!
Mainland, next stop.
Uh-oh.
I had something to tell Jonny.
You two still have
your portable communicators?
Yes, sir. Here's mine.
Fine.
Hydrofoil to Jonny.
Come in, please. Over.
That hydrofoil really moves.
[COMMUNICATOR BEEPS]
Jonny here.
Over to you, Hadj.
DR. QUEST: It's not Hadji, son.
I forgot to remind you.
You've got some
homework to do, haven't you?
Yes, sir.
Make sure you do it.
Yes, sir. Good boy.
This is hydrofoil, over and out.
You know what the trouble
with the world is, Race?
No. Suppose you tell me.
It's gotten too scientific.
[CHUCKLES] I know
just how you feel.
Tell you what.
First you can help me
with the emergency
ejector system
and then do your homework.
How'd that be?
Oh, it's just darn near perfect.
[BARKING]
Bandit thinks so too.
Good.
We are in position.
Are you in contact
with Control One?
Yes, sir.
Control One. Svedri here.
Report.
Preparing to move
in on objective.
Excellent.
Discontinue radio communication.
Contact Control when
mission is accomplished.
Yes, sir.
Start the engine.
[ENGINE WHIRS]
Slow ahead.
Good. No guards
have been posted.
We will move in now.
Surface.
JONNY: How's it coming, Race?
Well, let's give it a try.
Now, turn the dial, real slow.
Right.
[BEEPING]
[BUZZING]
It's a lot smoother sounding.
Yeah, but not smooth enough.
Needs more adjustments.
RACE: Let's see now.
The lever bolt's
connected to the toggle bolt,
the toggle bolt's
connected to the barton bolt,
the barton bolt's
connected to the elbow bolts.
What about the anchor bolt?
Looks like you missed that one.
[RACE CHUCKLES]
Race, what happened?
SVEDRI: Down
the ladder, quickly!
Shoot the dog too!
[BANDIT YELPS]
No! Bandit! Race!
They will be none the
worse in a few moments.
We have only put them to sleep.
Valnir, tie the one
he calls "Race"
to the seat
of the master controls.
All right, goons.
What's on your minds?
You'll find out soon enough.
Start the prober.
Negative, chum.
If you think I'm letting you
walk off with five
years' research,
think again.
You laugh at bullets, American?
Not at bullets. At you.
Who's going to
operate the prober
if you shoot me?
Who mentioned shooting you?
But your young friend here,
that is a different matter.
Now would you
reconsider your decision?
Don't give in to him, Race.
I have to, Jonny.
Your dad expects
me to take care of you.
Can't let him down, can we?
I guess not.
All right.
Where to?
Submerge.
You will receive
further instructions then.
Cheer up, Jonny.
This is just the first inning.
This ball game's
got a long way to go.
Almost home, Hadji.
Yes, but look.
What is it, Hadji?
The underwater prober is gone.
Maybe Race
is giving it a test run.
Not a sign of it, sir.
So I see,
but why would Race
take the prober down below?
It doesn't make sense.
I don't like the
looks of this, Hadji.
That's right, admiral.
No sign of Bannon
or my son, Jonny.
And as for the
underwater prober,
it's disappeared completely.
Thank you, sir.
We appreciate your cooperation.
Dr. Quest,
maybe I can contact
Jonny and Race.
I still have my
portable communicator.
Good thinking, Hadji.
It's surely worth a try.
Hadji to Jonny, on
scrambler circuit number one.
Come in, Jonny. Come in.
Any picture yet?
Not yet, sir.
Come in, Jonny Quest.
Come in. Hadji speaking.
[BEEPING]
Come in, Jonny Quest.
Come in, Jonny Quest.
I'm here, Hadji.
Keep it down.
Race and I are prisoners.
Repeat.
Race and I are prisoners.
May I have that, Hadji?
Jonny, it's Dad.
Are you all right?
Sure, Dad, but like I said
I know, son.
Are you close enough
to the control panel
to see your course?
Hold on.
It's above the view window.
Oh, yeah.
Near as I can make it out,
it's 3-2-5 degrees.
Does that make sense?
100-percent sense, Jonny.
With the lab at point zero,
that would give the
underwater prober
a direction of south-southeast.
All right, son.
Now sneak a look
at the panel just to the right
and give me the bearing number.
Roger.
Bearing 1-1-7.
Good.
Leave your communicator open.
We'll try to maintain contact.
Right, Dad.
1-1-7.
They're right about here.
They have a head start,
Hadji, but we can catch up,
I hope so,
but who could have
taken the prober?
The only way we'll find
out is to track them down.
Come on.
All secure, Hadji?
Yes, sir.
What is that?
Oh, that.
That's the oven timer.
The cake's all baked.
He thinks to make
fools of us, colonel.
Negative again, bub.
Nature beat me to it.
That's our sonar scope.
Means we're in
range of something
other than fish or whales.
Exactly, American.
We approach our base.
Svedri to commander.
Come in, sir.
Give your position, colonel.
We are within sonar range.
Mission accomplished.
Excellent.
Proceed to base.
Yes, sir. Keep on course.
Within the hour
we shall have
finished our journey.
Still in contact
with them, Hadji?
Yes, sir.
Their course is still 1-1-7.
You jokers still
want to keep going,
or doesn't that net
up ahead bother you?
SVEDRI: Continue on.
We are expected.
It will be raised.
Where to from here?
Straight ahead.
No street lights?
It will get lighter.
SVEDRI: We are entering
the outer cave now.
Stop as soon as
we clear the water.
What, no reception committee?
Oh, my gosh.
Looks like a gigantic
submarine pen, Jonny.
But where, Race? Where are we?
Quiet. The commander is waiting.
Move.
Wow!
This is the most
modern hovercraft
I've ever seen.
Yeah, I've got to
hand them that.
What are we gonna do, Race?
We're up against some
bigtime heavies, Jonny.
All we can hope
for is a lucky break
and this might be it.
Look up ahead.
That water pipe. You
think you can grab it?
It's worth a try.
Ready. Go!
See you later.
Hey, you goons!
Boy overboard!
[BARKING]
Valnir, reverse
the craft, quickly.
Hiya, fellas. Going my way?
There he is. Take him.
Okay, everybody into the pool.
Yargh!
Jump, Jonny!
[SNARLING]
Good boy, Bandit. Keep them off.
Okay, Bandit.
Come on, boy.
Hang on!
That was slick.
Good work, Race.
You mean good
teamwork, right, Bandit?
[BARKS]
What now? Back to the prober?
No, we've got to
get out and get help,
but first, we've got
to get past the guards.
Everybody down.
Maybe they'll think this is
just a runaway hovercraft.
Bandit, down!
Down!
Keep your heads down, fellas.
[ALARM SOUNDING]
There's an exit
straight ahead, Race.
Maybe we can lose
them in the dark.
Hovercraft escaping
by west exit.
Contact your dad.
Let him know what's going on.
Right.
Uh-oh. Company.
Duck!
[GUNFIRE]
Race, look what I
found down here.
One of the guard's guns.
Great.
You drive
and I'll try to knock
out their search lights.
Now, hold her steady.
Roger, admiral.
[GLASS BREAKING]
Nice shooting, Race.
[BARKING]
Bandit!
Jonny! Jonny!
Keep going, Race!
Sorry, Jonny.
No can do.
Okay, I give up.
Don't hurt the boy.
Once again, Mr. Bannon,
where is Dr. Quest?
He went to the ball game.
Very well.
If you will not cooperate,
the boy will.
You won't get me to talk.
You misunderstand.
After we begin to
work on you,
your companion will
be only too glad to talk.
Leave the boy alone.
What have we here?
Why were these prisoners
not searched?
Most ingenious.
A portable communicator.
And who does it
communicate with?
Jonny? Is that you?
I do not read you. Jonny.
Come in, Jonny.
You will answer him
and ask him
where your father is.
Sure, I'll answer him.
Guard, shoot the big one
if my instructions
are not followed.
All right.
Hi, Hadji.
Is, uh
Is my father with you?
Of course.
You must be close by.
You're coming in loud and clear.
That is all I need to know.
Intercept them
and take them prisoner.
Did you lose contact, Hadji?
The radio just went dead, sir,
but we must be
very close to them.
Halt! Stop your motor!
There's someone
behind us, doctor.
And in front.
Hands over head
or we shoot!
Do as they say, Hadji.
May I congratulate you
on the perfect performance
of your prober, Dr. Quest.
It will bring a
tremendous price.
From whom?
Who knows?
Any number of groups
would pay for your invention.
Why, your own Navy
might pay the ransom,
just to keep the machine
from falling into
unfriendly hands.
Guard them closely.
[DOOR CLOSES]
JONNY: What'll we do, Dad?
I wish I knew, son.
We're in a tight spot.
If we're in that bad a spot,
I will not need this fabulous,
priceless jewel any longer.
Would you like it?
It is literally priceless.
Observe the red highlights.
The way it flashes.
That is the way you can
tell how expensive it really is.
By the flashes.
See?
You have to look close.
If your gun is too heavy,
you may drop it.
Is he hypnotized?
I would say so.
How about it?
My friends wish to know
if you are hypnotized.
Yes.
Untie us, Jonny.
Your dearest wish
is to serve us well,
is it not?
Yes.
You can show us the
way out, can you not?
I can.
To our machine,
the underwater prober?
Yes, to your machine.
Pick me up.
Yes, sir.
You're pretty smart
for an 11-year-old.
Yes, I know.
To the machine, James.
Sorry I can't give
you gentlemen a lift.
You'll just have to rough it.
RACE: So far, so
good. Our luck's holding.
Let's get aboard.
You may put me down
now, my good man.
Yes, sir.
Come on, Hadji.
We're shoving off.
I won't be needing you
any more today, James.
There's the steel net up ahead
I was telling you about, sir.
DR. QUEST: These
remote control arms
worked fine on the squid.
Let's see how
they work on steel.
Wow, as easy as
cutting hot butter.
Svedri to commander.
They have cut through
the submarine net.
Svedri to commander.
What are your instructions?
Your instructions
are to attack at once.
They must not escape.
Repeat, attack.
Attack!
How much of a head start
do you think we have, sir?
I don't know,
and I wonder
how we've managed
to get this far.
[EXPLOSION]
JONNY: Look, two subs.
They're after us.
Our armor plate
can hold them off,
but for how long?
Can't we do anything?
Maybe.
What are we going to do, Dad?
Fight back the only way we can.
Good work, doctor.
It's not over yet.
We're free!
Somehow,
I have a feeling we aren't.
Not yet, anyway.
We have lost contact
with our submarines.
Call off direct assaults.
What is needed now is guile.
Valnir,
you will attach this mine
to the side of their prober.
I will try to distract them.
Understood?
Yes, sir.
Then go.
Dr. Quest?
We are tuned
into your sonar wavelength.
I wish to bargain.
There is no purpose
in our expending our energies
in playing hide and seek
in the ocean.
Surely we can arrive
at a sensible solution.
We have nothing to discuss,
but you will have,
when our Navy reaches you.
Long before that time,
you will be dead,
unless you surrender now.
I shall give you 10 minutes,
then I shall attack
with all my forces.
You mean you haven't been?
Remember, 10 minutes.
[CLANKING]
Listen.
[GROWLS]
Quiet, boy.
Something's going on,
and I've got a pretty
good idea what it is.
I'm going out there.
Successful?
Successful.
[METAL SCRAPING]
Their time is up.
It is just a matter of seconds.
[LAUGHING]
That explosion, Race.
What was it?
Oh, nothing much.
Just our late host
saying, "So long."
Well, there it is, captain.
I turn her over to the Navy now,
although there still may be
a few bugs in it.
And a small dog
and a small boy
and another small boy.
[BARKS]
Jonny, Hadji,
bring Bandit and come on down.
With a crew like that,
anything can happen.
JONNY: Here's Bandit!
See what I mean?
[ALL LAUGHING]
[♪♪♪]
