Transcript for the Jonny Quest 1964 series episode Riddle of the Gold.
Transcript[]
: Quite a bit of activity for a worked out mine.
: Aye, Your Excellency?
: It would seem so.
: But we must keep up the illusion.
: As you know, anything less than perfection will not be suitable.
: Don't worry, Kaseem, what you are about to see will convince even you of the infallibility of our schemes.
: [growling]
: It's alright, D.J.
: She's always so glad to see me.
: [growling]
: Behold, Kaseem, the ultimate in the science of alchemy.
: The perfect man-made bar of gold.
: Amazing! Truly amazing!
: We knew he'd be impressed.
: Didn't we, D.J?
Kaseem: Indeed, it's indistinguishable from real gold.
: Only one man can tell it is false.
: And that's Professor Gunderson.
: The inventor of the process.
: Excellent.
: Dr. Zin will be pleased.
: Ah, I see it's time to report.
: Master, Kaseem your unworthy servant wishes to report to Dr. Zin.
: You may speak, Kaseem.
: Phase one has been completed.
: Professor Gunderson has surpassed himself.
: That is good, and how is the professor after his fatal accident?
: He's being very cooperative..
: ...after a little persuasion.
: Good. Kaseem.
: Master.
: As to the distribution of the gold we must proceed with great caution.
: The sudden appearance of great quantities would arouse suspicion.
: I understand, master.
: Dr. Zin, soon you and I will be the two richest most powerful men in the world.
: Indeed.
: Kaseem.
: Master.
: Proceed now with phase two.
: Dr. Zin mentioned phase two.
: Ah, yes.
: I'm not familiar with that.
: What is phase two?
Kaseem: Phase two begins as of now.
: thud [growling]
: There is room for only one richest most powerful man in the world.
: And that is Dr. Zin.
: I don't quite follow you, Corbin.
: If this gold checks out A-okay with your boys in the lab why do you need me?
: Look, Dr. Quest.
: How come a mine that we know was tapped out 50 years ago suddenly starts producing more gold than ever before?
: Perhaps, they've discovered a new vein.
: Or a new racket.
: Yes.
: Alright, Corbin, let's take this back to Palm Key for further tests.
: [pungi music]
: Golly, Hadji.
: That's a great trick.
: Would you like to try it, Jonny?
: It's easy, anybody can do it.
: Okay, here it goes.
: [pungi music]
: Hey, I thought you said anybody could do it, Hadji.
: I don't understand.
: It's so simple.
Jonny: Hey, it's dad.
: [whooshing]
Jonny: Come on, let's meet him.
: woof woof woof Hello, Bandit, have you been a good boy?
: woof woof woof And speaking of good boys, how about you two?
: Oh, yes, sir. Our department has been most exemplary.
: Yeah, and besides that, we've been good too.
: I'm glad to hear that.
: Hello, boys.
: Oh, hello, Mr. Corbin.
: Hey, dad, what's that?
: Did you bring us something?
: No, Jonny, this is gold.
: Do you mean real gold?
Dr. Quest: That's what we're going to find out.
: [pungi music]
: [yelping]
: Now, watch closely, gentlemen.
: I'm going to apply some of the specially formulated acid to this watch which is 14 carat gold.
: Tell me if you see any reaction.
Corbin: Go ahead, doctor.
: No change.
: The watch isn't damaged at all.
: No. But now observe what happens when I apply the same acid to the Maharaja's gold.
: How about that?
: The gold is disintegrating.
: Not gold. Zanium.
: Zanium? Never heard of it.
: Well, little is known about the metal.
: To my knowledge, hardly a thimbleful is ever been obtained.
: Zanium, eh?
: Well, that figures.
: Anything the Maharaja of Jahilipur is mixed up in.
: Jahilipur?
: Eh, that name rings a bell.
: And it should.
: He's been mixed up in gun running, smuggling, the works.
Race: Anything for a fast rupee, huh?
: Yeah, and speaking of fast rupees guess who else is in the act?
: Abdul Kaseem.
: Kaseem?
: Boy, with a cast of characters like that no wonder you were suspicious.
: Only one man besides myself knew the transmutation process.
: Professor Gunderson.
: Gunderson, eh?
: Can we talk with him?
: I'm afraid not.
: Six months ago, Gunderson met an untimely death in an airplane accident in India.
: Wouldn't have been in Jahilipur, would it?
Dr. Quest: Why, yes, Race, that's exactly where it was.
: Well, put two and one together.
: Two crooks and one professor.
: And it adds up to something Intelligence One should look into.
: Doctor, how would you like to photograph a tiger hunt, eh?
: A tiger hunt?
: You see, your camera hobby would be a perfect cover for you to have a look-see at that mine.
: I'll have the department contact the Maharaja and set it up.
: Well, doctor, it looks like a case of ready or not.
: India, here we come.
: [instrumental music]
: [whooshing]
: woof woof woof Oh, come on, Bandit.
: Either you get in that case or you don't come with us.
: Hey, that's more like it.
: See you later, Bandit.
: When you get to Jahilipur, give my regards to your friend the Maharaja.
: He's hardly my friend.
: I met him only once.
: That was ten years ago.
: Ah, here are the boys.
: Boy, dad, this camera stuff is sure heavy.
: We gotta make it look good, Jonny.
: You get Bandit squared away?
: Yeah, he's locked up tight in his valise.
Dr. Quest: I wanted to leave the dog at home but the boys insisted on bringing him.
: woof woof woof
woman on PA: Your attention, please.
: Will the owner of the dog answering to the name of Bandit please report to the Information Desk?
: Oh-oh. That sucks!
: Look, Bandit, be reasonable.
: You have to go in the valise.
: Wait, wait, Jonny.
: Perhaps, I can be of help.
: 'Sim-sim-salabim.'
: Our problem is gone.
: Gosh, Hadji! That was great.
: How'd you do it?
: I cannot tell you, Jonny.
: It is an old trick that has been in our family for years.
: [upbeat music]
: [jet engine humming]
: Good luck!
: [music continues]
: Okay, that takes care of the geography lesson.
: Now, Hadji, how do you spell Mississippi?
: M-I-S.. Uh..
: Did you want the state or the river?
: Here you are, boys.
: Enjoy your dinner.
: woof Goodness! Did you eat that steak already?
: Oh, well, I'm just a growing boy.
: [engine roaring]
: Two thousand feet of film should be enough to photograph a tiger hunt, eh, Race?
: Plenty, but I'd feel a lot safer with a rifle than with a camera.
: [film reel whirring]
: You know, Race, I've been thinking, it can only be Gunderson who's making the gold for the Maharaja.
: You think he's in with him?
: I hope not.
: It's okay, Bandit, I know you're here.
: woof The Maharaja really thinks big.
: I'm not so sure it's the Maharaja's idea.
: There's another mind, clever and diabolical enough to conceive and execute a scheme of this magnitude.
: You mean our old friend?
: Yes, Race. Dr. Zin.
: [dramatic music]
: [upbeat music]
: Well, Hadji, how does it feel to be back in your native land?
: It feels fine, except, they don't have hamburgers, sir.
: [all laughing]
: [horn blaring]
: Look out! Duck, boys!
: That was close.
: Yeah, and maybe on purpose.
: [dramatic music]
: [chugging]
: [music continues]
: Boy! This is some mountain.
: Huh, Hadji?
: Oh, yes! India has many great mountains.
: From here, you can see Mt. Everest.
: The world's highest mountain.
: It is over 29,000 feet high.
Jonny: Wow! What a spot for a TV area Race, did you instruct the boys how to act when they meet the Maharaja?
: Oh, yes. Just courtesy.
: Leave the talking to us.
: Fine. Uh, tell me, Race, just what was the Maharaja's reaction being our host for a tiger hunt?
Race: He was delighted. He promised to take good care of us.
: [intense music]
: Hey! The train's going backwards.
: Not the train, just us.
: Inside, boys. Hit the deck!
: [music continues]
: crash Don't move, anybody.
: [whining]
: Bandit! Come here.
: Come here, boy.
: Easy, easy.
: Nice and easy.
: [whining]
: Come on, boy. Come on.
: That's the fella.
: [whining]
: Bandit, I've only one thing to say, and you can quote me.
: Good dog!
: slurp slurp slurp [all laughing]
: [growling]
: Two attempts, two failures.
: You are losing your touch, Kaseem.
: Forgive me, master.
: I shall not fail you again.
: See that you don't.
: And please let me compliment you on your impersonation of the late Maharaja.
: Thank you, master.
: Welcome, Dr. Quest.
: I trust the journey was not too unpleasant?
: Not at all, Your Excellency.
: This is my son, Jonny, and his friend, Hadji.
: And this is Race Bannon.
: Your Excellency.
: Mr. Bannon.
: You all honor my humble palace with your presence.
: Let me show you what I have arranged.
: [mellow music]
: Delicious, delicious!
: What is it?
: It is called biryani, a spiced fried rice.
: Delicious, Hadji. What is it?
: It is kheema, a curry of mutton and rice.
: sniff sniff sniff [whining]
: How was Bandit's nose, Mr. Parrot?
: Argh! Delicious.
: It's been a long day, Your Excellency, if we're going on a hunt tomorrow, we better get some rest.
: As you wish.
: Until tomorrow then.
Race: Goodnight, Your Excellency.
Jonny: Goodnight, sir.
: Goodnight.
: Goodnight.
: [instrumental music]
: Ali.
: Yes, Excellency.
: Is everything in readiness for the hunt?
: Yes, Excellency.
: When the tiger is flushed in the excitement..
: Dr. Quest will have the most regrettable accident.
: I understand, Your Excellency.
: Karab will be ready.
: [growling]
: Aye! He is a killer.
: Yes. And today, Karab may kill again.
: [growling]
male #1: Aye! And today, I would not like to be Dr. Quest.
: Come, we must hurry.
: [intense music]
: Do you remember our instructions?
: Yes, remove the head of the hunt.
: And at the right moment, we release Karab.
: [growling]
: Good luck, gentlemen, and good pictures.
: Thank you, Your Excellency.
: I've had all your camera equipment put in the trucks.
: Thanks, Excellency. I'm sure you haven't forgotten a thing.
: Goodbye, dad.
: So long, Race.
: And fasten your seat belts.
: Yes, good luck to you, and bad luck to the tiger.
: [engine revving]
: Say, Hadji.
: Yes.
: How about doing a little private eyeing?
: Private eyeing?
: Yeah, let's go take a peek at that mine.
: woof woof woof [chuckles]
: Who asked you?
: [instrumental music]
: [elephant trumpeting]
: Hold it.
: I wanna get a picture of that.
: splash [trumpeting]
: [laughs]
: Don't worry, old girl, nobody's gonna hurt your baby.
: [trumpeting]
: [laughs]
: Sounds like the little fella's got a snoot full.
: Do you see them yet?
: No.
: Wait. Yes, yes. Here they come.
: It will be easier for Karab.
: Dr. Quest is in the first car.
: Then it is time to open the cage.
: [growling]
: Careful. He's a evil temper.
: [dramatic music]
: Even now he has the scent of his prey.
: Look, it is our scent he has.
: [growling]
: Look out, he is charging!
: Quickly into the cage.
: 'Jaldi, jaldi!'
: [growling]
: Allah has spared us.
: [dramatic music]
: [growling]
: [screaming]
: Don't move. doctor.
: I'll try to pick him off.
: Let me, I have him in my sight.
: [growling]
: [screaming]
: Dr. Quest.
: [intense music]
: crash - How you doing, doctor?
: I'm alright, Race.
: Wish we could say as much for poor Ali.
: [dramatic music]
: Hey, Jonny.
: This conveyor belt is fun.
: Yeah, it's better than a roller coaster.
: Look, Jonny, dead end.
: Bandit, jump.
: Jump, Bandit.
: woof woof woof - What do we do?
: We got to go after him.
: Come on.
: [upbeat music]
: Look, there's a light ahead.
: Well, well, little doggie.
: Where did you come from?
: thud woof woof woof You must be Professor Gunderson.
: That's right.
: Is this your dog?
: woof woof woof Oh, he's your dog, alright.
: But who are you?
: I'm Jonny Quest, and this is my friend, Hadji.
: Oh, if Dr. Quest is here, he's in grave danger.
: These people are ruthless.
Kaseem: As usual, professor, you are correct.
: I regret you were so inquisitive, boys.
: Now, I cannot permit you to leave.
: Oh, we're not afraid.
: Just wait till dad and Race get here.
: Exactly, since he survived the tiger hunt Dr. Quest's next move should be to come here looking for you.
: You think the boys are at the mine, doctor?
: Where else, Race?
: You know boys.
: [dramatic music]
: Perhaps you would like to join them?
: [dramatic music]
: Isn't that a pretty old routine, Kaseem?
: Old, yes, but still effective.
: At least let the boys go.
: Unfortunately, doctor, there can be no witnesses.
: [crackling]
: If anyone has a suggestion, now is the time to come up with it.
: [sniffing]
: Atta boy, Bandit.
: Put out the fire.
: woof woof woof Dig, Bandit, dig.
: woof woof woof Oh, no, Bandit, no.
: Oh, what's the use?
: [intense music]
: woof woof woof thud [whines]
both: Yay, he did it.
: Bandit put out the fire.
: If ever I said I didn't want that dog on the trip I most humbly apologize.
: Wait a minute, doctor, I think I can get my hand free.
: There, I got it.
: I'll have you all untied in a minute.
: Everybody out of here on the double while I seal up our tomb.
: [intense music]
: It was necessary to eliminate the professor as well but we have his formula, he was of no further use.
: Agree.
: The main thing is that Dr. Quest has finally been dealt with.
: You are sure, Kaseem?
: boom [growling]
: Quite sure.
: Good.
: But I am almost sorry the game is over.
: Dr. Quest has been the most worthy adversary.
: Yes, master.
Dr. Quest: It would seem that prematureness is one of your failings, Kaseem.
: Dr. Quest, you are still alive?
: Kaseem, you have blundered again.
: He will die.
: He has got to die!
: [growling]
: [screaming]
: crash It appears your friend Kaseem has made his last blunder.
: The fool! So, your luck still holds, Dr. Quest.
Dr. Quest: Yes, it does.
: Just for the time being, Dr. Quest.
: But we will meet again.
: [intense music]
: [upbeat music]
: Good boy, Bandit.
: From now on, you're coming on all our trips.
woman on PA: Attention, please.
: We will be landing in five minutes.
: Please fasten your seat belts.
: Hey, that means you too, Bandit.
: woof woof woof [laughs]
: Good boy, Bandit.
: [all laughing]
: [theme music]
: [clamoring]
: twang twang swoosh splash crash [chittering]
