: (male narrator) "Jonny Quest"
: brought to you by..
: [intense music]
: [birds chirping]
: [water sloshing]
: It sounded like static to me, dad.
: Can we hear it again?
: Yes.
: He's making another pass.
: Listen carefully now.
: You should know this one.
: Here he comes.
: [rasping]
Jonny: Sounds like a car that needs a grease job. Right, Hadji?
: Or a very squeaky door.
: [dolphin squealing on radio]
: [squealing continues]
: Did you recognize that one, boys?
: That was a bottlenose dolphin.
: A porpoise.
: [instrumental music]
: Here comes one we haven't had. Listen.
: [Bandit barking]
: Quiet now. Listen.
: [instrumental music]
: mwah mwah mwah
: [laughing]
: Did you hear it?
: Sure did. Sounds like you're not alone down there.
: [all laughing]
Dr. Quest: [on radio] I think it's an affectionate fish.
: Or maybe a mermaid, yes?
: mwah mwah mwah
: [instrumental music]
: Thank you. If we need a kissing fish we'll call you.
: Hey, Race, we're going down to the bell.
: We can make the sound of the fishes too.
: [barking]
: Well, not this time, Bandit.
: Oh, Race, don't tell dad where we are, okay?
: Okay, boys.
: [water splashing]
: [instrumental music]
: [babbling]
: [babbling continues]
: [babbling continues]
: [babbling continues]
: [babbling continues]
: Race, I've spotted two oddball fish.
: Yeah, I had a feeling you would.
Dr. Quest: I guess I've had it for today, Race. Start her up.
: Right you are.
: [gurgling]
: [gurgling continues]
: [instrumental music]
: [laughing]
: [music continues]
: [music continues]
: [intense music]
: [eerie music]
: [eerie music]
: But we both saw it, dad.
Hadji: That is right.
: We did truly see it.
: Are you sure, Jonny?
: The light under the water can play funny tricks on your eyes at times.
: It's just possible you saw a whale.
: But, dad, honest.
: I know the difference between a whale and a sub.
: And Hadji and I both saw the same thing.
: That is right.
: [engine roaring]
: [dramatic music]
Race: Someone's coming this way.
: Who could it be?
: No one knows we're here.
: You are Dr. Quest?
: Yes.
: Come quickly.
: It is an emergency.
: You say, you are Philippe Lor's foreman?
: Si, senor,
: Denise, is sick from voodoo.
: Voodoo? On Tanaigo Island?
Alvero: Si, senor.
: It is a terrible thing!
: [intense music]
: Yes, Dr. Quest. First, they send the warning, the suga doll.
: Then the spell came over her.
: The devil's have struck at me through my daughter.
: Who do you think is responsible?
: Korbay! For he is a worthless man.
: Suddenly overnight this Korbay has acquired these voodoo powers.
: Now he is feared as a witch doctor.
: What's behind all this?
: I do not know. The other planters have left the island.
: But I have refused to go.
: There are only ourselves and Alvero left.
: And he too refuses to be frightened.
: But who knows, only today Alvero received a warning.
: A suga doll.
: [huffs]
: Ah!
: [intense music]
: [music continues]
: This is no spell, Philippe.
: Your daughter's been drugged.
: I'll go back to the boat and check my books.
: Perhaps I can prepare an antidote.
: In the meantime, watch her closely so no more harm can be done.
: I will watch her myself.
: Not once will I take my eyes from her until you return.
: And now, Alvero will drive you back.
: [drumbeats]
: Those cursed drums!
: Every day, every night, all night.
: Then the natives disappear into the jungle.
: [eerie music]
: [drumbeats continue]
: And this happens every night?
: Yes. There is nothing we can do.
: Alvero, the car.
: Alvero, it is late.
: Dr. Quest--
: Just a moment.
: I thought so.
: He's been drugged too.
: Apparently, by means of this tiny blowgun dart.
: Permit me to borrow your car.
: With this sample I'll prepare an antidote and return as quickly as possible.
: Well, certainly, Dr. Quest.
: I will expect you.
: [engine sputtering]
: Poor Alvero.
: He too suffers because I will not be driven from my home of 25 years.
: [theme music]
: And that's the story.
: What do you make of it, dad?
: I'm not sure, Jonny.
: All I know is that someone is using a drug to cast what the natives think is a voodoo spell.
: And I have got to find the antidote.
: You think this kook Korbay could give us some answers?
: I am sure he could.
: l[dramatic music]
: [intense music]
: [music continues]
: Who is it? Stop!
: Race! Cut him off!
Race: Alright, you, hold it!
: Did you get him?
: I saw somebody dive off the boat, doctor. But he vanished.
: Did you get a look at him?
: No, I didn't.
: I wonder what he wanted.
Race: There's your answer, Dr. Quest.
: He wanted to leave you a warning.
: It's a suga doll, huh.
: Not a very flattering likeness.
Jonny: Hey, dad, what's all the noise about?
Dr. Quest: Uh, nothing. Go back to bed.
: Everything is alright.
: Okay, goodnight.
: You think they'll be back?
: Not tonight.
: Why not, doctor?
: They'll wait till tomorrow to see if we're still here.
: Apparently, we're getting in somebody's way.
: When did dad leave, Race?
: Very early, before you two were awake.
: Oh, gosh! We missed all the excitement.
: Maybe, but you boys keep your eyes peeled today.
: Don't let anyone get near the boat.
: Do you hear?
: Yes, sir.
Race: Maybe you can get Bandit to quit sleeping so much and give you a hand.
: [Bandit snoring]
Jonny: Bandit! Bandit!
: Oh, come on, Bandit.
: You gotta stand guard.
: [Bandit barking]
Race: Now there's a real alert wide-awake watchdog.
: Don't worry.
: Bandit's a good watchdog.
: Very good, I think.
: [chuckles]
: If he can stay awake that is.
: [snoring]
: You believe we saw a submarine yesterday, don't you, Race?
: Yes, I do, Jonny.
: There may be some connection between what you saw and what's been happening on the island.
: You know where to look, Race?
: Under the rocks.
: I'll find it.
: Now if I'm gone too long, notify your father.
: Okay. Be careful, Race!
: [splashing]
: [dramatic music]
Dr. Quest: Denise?
Philippe: Look, her eyes. She heals.
: The antidote is working.
: Can you hear me?
: Oui, She'll come out of it quickly.
: Just as Alvero did.
: I can never repay you, Dr. Quest.
: Stay with her. In the meantime, I'd like to borrow Alvero.
: We're going to pay Korbay a little visit.
: [gurgling]
: [eerie music]
: [music continues]
: [sloshing]
: [intense music]
: [dramatic music]
: Alright, pal.
: Climb up out of there.
: [drumbeats]
: [chanting in foreign language]
: poof
: [chanting continues]
: poof Voodoo strong medicine.
: You cannot stop it.
: I have already stopped it, Korbay.
: Cannot stop voodoo.
: [chanting continues]
: poof I don't believe in voodoo, Korbay.
: Especially yours.
: I've come to prove it. Alvero!
: You see, your voodoo did not affect Alvero.
: My voodoo still strong.
: No, Korbay.
: I have returned Alvero to consciousness.
: I know about your little darts dipped in a drug.
: You're a fake.
: No one will believe you.
: They fear Korbay and the voodoo.
: They will not fear when I tell them what you have done.
: Those you have put to sleep, their families.
: They will kill you when the truth is known.
: What do you want?
: There will be no more voodoo drums.
: No more trances.
: You will tell me what is behind all this.
: I will think on this.
: You haven't much time.
: You have only until sunset.
: Then I will return.
: [intense music]
: I will think true of this.
: Korbay calls. Korbay calls.
: Listen, Quest just left.
: Did you hear him?
: I heard.
: What am I to do?
: Nothin'.
: You will send the workers tonight as usual.
: Is that clear?
: It is clear.
: I'll handle Quest.
: Good thing you dropped in after all, pal.
: Looks like I can use you to stop Quest.
: Holding me won't stop Dr. Quest.
: We'll see, pal. We'll see.
: Hurry, Hadji.
: It's been two hours.
: Race may be in trouble.
: I am ready, Jonny.
Jonny: You guard the boat, Bandit.
: [barking]
: Come on, let's go!
: [splashing]
: [barking continues]
: Korbay?
: I am here.
: Get those drums started.
: All is ready.
Harden: [on radio] Then get down here and guard this prisoner!
: I'm payin' a visit to Dr. Quest.
: [drumbeats]
: Alright, you guys, let's move it!
: Get to work, you hear?
: I get it.
: The drums cover the sound of those jackhammers.
: You're pretty sharp.
: What're you building?
: Take a look.
: I'm bein' paid a lot of dough to build a secret sub and arms space.
Race: Yeah? By whom?
: I never ask questions when money talks.
: Keep an eye on him, Korbay.
: I'm gonna make sure Quest doesn't talk.
: And what about the two small ones?
: Don't worry.
: I'll shut them up too.
: [intense music]
: [music continues]
: [grunts]
: With a little luck I may be able to get these ropes off.
: [grunts]
: Huh, that did it.
: Now, if can just get my hands on Mr. Voodoo out there.
: [snoring]
: [intense music]
: [sloshing]
Jonny: Look, there's a guard in front of that shack.
: Maybe Race is in it.
: Okay, Hadji.
: Swim over to the other side and try to drive him off.
: Good idea. Then you can let Race out.
: Come on, let's go.
: Okay. Operation Rescue.
: [growling]
: [barking]
: Quiet, you mutt.
: All we're gonna do is give Dr. Quest a surprise welcome home party.
: Aye, there's only two of 'em.
: Wonder where the kids are.
: Ah, it's no problem.
: I'll take care of them later.
: [drumbeats]
: Here we go. Arms away.
: [clanking]
: Uh? What was that?
: I think it worked.
: [drumbeats continue]
: Something is not right.
: [drumbeats continue]
: Careful, Jonny.
: Shh.
Jonny: I'll have you out of there as soon as I get..
: Get this plank off.
: [clanking]
: Good boy.
: Now, let's take care of Mr. Gruesome.
: [intense music]
: Who is there?
: [music continues]
: Down, Jonny.
: He's looking this way.
: I hope Hadji keeps his head down too.
: [clangs]
: Someone is here.
: Huh? It is one of the small ones.
: I will take care of him.
: That witch doctor's asking for it. Fire one.
: thud (Race)
: Bull's-eye!
: thud
: [instrumental music]
: Keep your fingers crossed, fellas.
: And hope we make it through that underwater tunnel.
: We've gotta get back to the boat and stop Harden.
: Let's go.
: [instrumental music]
Harden: Don't keep me waiting, Quest.
: You and your friend are coming with me.
: So get your scuba gear on.
: Where are the boys?
: What have you done with them?
Harden: Don't worry about them.
: You won't be seeing anybody again.
: Now get goin'.
: I haven't got all day.
: How we doin', Jonny?
: We're right on course, Race.
: We're goin' through the tunnel now.
: Easy, easy.
: I see light!
: We're almost out!
: Good.
: This submarine carries two small torpedoes.
: We'll fire them and close the tunnel for keeps.
: Harden will kill you for this.
: Harden's killing days are just about over.
: [intense music]
: [music continues]
: Ah, this ought to be far enough.
: Now, hang on tight.
: When the torpedoes hit the roof of that tunnel there'll be a shock wave.
: whoosh click whoosh
: [intense music]
: Take your last look at daylight, boys.
: And then jump in.
: And no tricks or you'll get a spear in the back.
: Hang on.
: thud
: [explosion]
: What was that?
: thud Good work, Alvero.
: [rumbling]
: [explosion]
: What will happen to Harden and Korbay now?
: That's up to your local government, Monsieur
: You can be sure of one thing though.
: And what is that?
: You'll have no more voodoo.
: Si.
: go back to their plantations.
: And we can get back to our project.
: Unless, of course, Jonny has other plans.
: I think you are both just wonderful to have rescued Race as you did.
: You are so, so, brave.
: Oh..
: And I have something for both of you.
: mwah mwah Oh, for cryin' out loud.
: Oh, no. I think it is not good to be brave.
: Oh, you are both so wonderful, so brave.
: I'm going to let you each kiss me.
: What is the matter?
: Are you afraid to kiss me?
: I'm afraid you'll have to wait about ten years for them to have that kind of courage, Denise.
: Yeah, see you in ten years, Denise.
: It's a date.
