male narrator: "Jonny Quest,"
: brought to you by..
: [dramatic music]
: Hey, Hans.
: Is that engine fixed yet?
: We can't stay here in the Java Sea, the rest of our lives.
: Won't be much longer, captain.
: Whatever you do, be sure the cargo isn't touched.
Hans: Aye-aye, sir.
: [growling]
: What is that?
: [growling]
: Hans, sound the alarm!
: All hands on deck!
: [bell ringing]
: [gunshots]
: Hurry, men! Hurry!
: Well, Race, in another couple of hours we should be sighting Sumatra.
: You boys have seen a lot on this trip.
: I like Singapore the best.
: I wish we could've stayed there.
: Me too.
: It's also my favorite city.
: [radio beeping]
man on radio: Attention, all ships and planes in the Java Sea area.
: Hold it down, fellas. There's a message coming through.
man on radio: Repeat. All ships and planes in the Java Sea area.
: Keep on the watch for a disabled freighter the Star of Borneo flying a Dutch flag and carrying a top-secret cargo.
: She was last heard from 200 miles due north of the Lingga Archipelago.
: And has been out of radio contact more than 48 hours.
: Lingga Archipelago?
: We just passed it, didn't we, Race?
: That's right, Jonny.
: You and Hadji better keep a sharp look out.
: Well, what do you know?
: If my eyes don't deceive me, we've found the Star of Borneo.
: Think you can land on her deck, Race?
: Well, it'll be tricky, doctor, but let's give it a try.
: Here goes the vertical power.
: [whooshing]
: This should be interesting.
: True, and also kind of risky.
: Strange.
: Not a person in sight.
: Surely somebody heard us land.
: Look over there, doctor.
: The lifeboats are gone.
: This ship is abandoned.
: We better contact the authorities and let them know about this.
: [sniffing]
: [yelps]
: [barking]
: There's something aboard this ship. Look.
: [barking]
: Hey, could that be a footprint?
: It could.
Race: Looks like some kind of sea going dinosaur made it.
: A dinosaur?
: On this spooky old freighter?
: Dinosaurs are extinct.
: So you never can tell where you'll find them.
: We'd better check the captain's quarters.
: You boys stay close to us.
: You too, Bandit.
Jonny: I don't want some dinosaur stepping on you.
: [barks]
: [snarling]
: Wow! Looks like a hurricane hit this cabin.
Hadji: Or something worse even.
Race: Every piece of furniture's been broken.
: Maybe the ship's log will tell us something.
: Is that written in Dutch?
Dr. Quest: Yes, but I think I can translate it.
: Let's go back a couple of days.
: Here we are.
: "Developed engine trouble this morning.
: "Two hundred miles north of the Lingga Archipelago.
: "While it was being fixed, I first saw the creature "as it crawled over the ship's railing.
: "It was probably brought up out of the sea by a storm "which had been raging the night before.
: "I gave orders for the crew to capture it.
: "But it wasn't easy.
: It's a strange and awful thing.
: "I've never seen the likes of it before.
: "Almost impossible to describe.
: "Its body is covered with scales "and its huge glassy eyes seemed to indicate "it came from an almost unimaginable depth.
: "It walks upright and has superhuman strength.
: Strong light seems to bother it."
: Well, if it came from the bottom of the sea I can understand why light would bother it.
Dr. Quest: "Finally, we were able to get a net over it, but not before "it had broken the neck of Vanoos, my second mate "and hurled three of my crew into the sea.
: "We managed to get chains around it "and lock it in the aft hold "but the crew is in panic and near mutiny.
: "I've decided to kill this monstrous evil "before it somehow destroys this ship and our precious cargo is at the bottom of the sea."
: What do you suppose this old ship is carrying that could be so precious?
: The Dutch are trying to hold on to what's left of their empire in this part of the world.
: It's possible that many of her ships carry highly classified and valuable cargo.
: Apparently, this was written later the same day. Listen..
: "It looks like our gruesome enemy may outlive us all.
: "For apparently, it is impervious to death.
: "Bullets have no effect on it.
: "I emptied a gun directly into its horrible body "but nothing happened.
: "The monster became so enraged, it broke its chains "and I barely got away in time.
: "An hour ago, it was prowling below deck "and the men are taking to the lifeboats.
: In a moment, I will.."
: I will, what?
: What does he say?
Dr. Quest: That's it.
: It ends right there.
: Oh, gosh, that monster must've come in here and killed the captain while he was writing.
: I hope not.
: But it certainly seems that way.
: [thudding]
: What was that?
: The plane.
: It's been smashed to pieces.
: That thing must still be aboard, Race.
: We've got to get out of here.
: But how?
: The lifeboats are gone.
: Let's check the radio room.
: Maybe we can get a message out.
: [whimpers]
: [barking]
: Bandit, what's wrong?
: [Bandit barking]
: Dad, I saw it.
: I saw the monster.
: Where, Jonny?
: I don't see anything.
: It was looking at us from behind the cabin.
: Bandit saw it, too.
: Didn't you, boy?
: [barking]
: See?
: Alright, everybody. Inside.
: Let's find that radio room fast.
: [barking]
Hadji: Don't worry, Bandit.
: Nothing will happen to you that won't happen to the rest of us.
: That's a happy thought.
: [snarling]
: Nothing. The radio's dead.
: It figures.
: Obviously, the thing has been in here too.
: In the morning, we better try and build a raft.
: Well, the morning?
: What about right now?
: It'll soon be dark, Jonny.
: We couldn't chance trying to get off this ship at night.
: We'll have to try to find some safe place to bed down.
: Then let's look for some food too.
: The last meal we had was in Singapore.
: And rice and fortune cookies don't last very long.
: Let's take a look in the galley.
: Have you got your gun, Race?
: Yes, but if bullets have no effect on this monster I don't know what good it'll do.
: We'll have to find some way to defend ourselves.
: Yeah. All we have to fear is monsters themselves.
: crash
: [growling]
: Any food, Jonny?
: Nothing.
: The shelves are bare.
: Old Mother Hubbard must have built this ship.
: I can't even find a bone.
: Maybe there's some food in this ice box.
: [whimpering]
: Bandit seems to think there's something else in there.
: Well, there's one way to find out. Let's open it.
: Gosh.
: What the.. It's a man!
Race: He's half-frozen.
: [speaking in foreign language]
: Oh, you are not dragon.
: Who are you?
: We're friends.
: Come on out of there before you freeze to death.
: That's a good idea.
: Very cold in ice box.
: Now what's this about a dragon?
: You no see dragon?
: We've seen what it can do.
: Dragon break loose.
: Big fight. Big fight.
: Everybody leave ship.
: I only one left.
: So I hide in ice box.
: Dragon terrible.
: He kill us all.
: Do you know what this secret cargo is?
: Many long boxes in hold.
: I don't get good look.
: By day, dragon hides among them.
: At night, it come out on deck.
: But when sun rises, it looks for darkness again.
: Yes, the ship's log said the same thing.
: The monster seems to be afraid of light.
: Not too afraid. Look what it did to our plane in the day time.
: An act of desperation or curiosity.
Dr. Quest: But its aversion to strong light gives us some weapons.
: Torches, if we can find some on board or make them.
: We can use the ship's search lights.
: Right now I wish we could find something to eat.
: Crew take everything with them.
: Only thing left is fortune cookies and some boiled rice.
: Not again.
: Seems like everything we've eaten these days has a message in it.
: Well, we're in a nice jam.
: A monster running loose, our plane is ruined and we're marooned aboard an abandoned ship with a strange cargo.
: What do we do now, doctor?
: No choice, but wait.
: When we're overdue at Batavia I'm sure the authorities will send out search planes.
: [dramatic music]
: [whooshing]
: [radio static]
: Trouble, sir. I have lost contact with Dr. Quest's plane.
: He is long overdue.
: Hmm, better alert all patrols to look for him at once.
: Aye-aye, sir.
: [radio static]
: Well, how you like your rice?
: Oh, fine. Charlie, fine.
: You're a good cook.
: Thank you, thank you.
: For dessert, we have fortune cookie.
: Hey, listen to my fortune.
: "Be careful of unknown danger."
: Mine is not much better.
: "There is great evil abroad tonight."
: Gee, maybe there is something to this fortune cookie stuff.
: [growling]
: [growling]
: Uh-oh! Maybe he hears the monster's footprints again.
: How can anyone hear footprints?
: Some monsters make louder ones than others.
: [monster roaring]
: The monster!
: [roaring]
: It's right outside the door.
: You boys, get down behind that table.
: [dramatic music]
: If it breaks in, I'll try to stop him with fire.
: [snorting]
: [hissing]
: Dad, the porthole!
: [growling]
: [glass shatters]
: [growling]
: [roaring]
: [groaning]
: [monster groaning]
: It's gone.
: Jonny, find a hose and get that fire under control.
: I am going with Race.
: [dramatic continues]
: That does it.
: Turn off the water, Charlie.
: squeak squeak I got a glimpse of it, Race.
: It looks like a cross between a manticore and a hippocampus.
: Cross between what?
: Two mythical monsters with the heads of one animal the bodies of another, and tails of fishes or reptiles.
: I told you. A dragon.
: There isn't anything mythical about this monster.
Dr. Quest: No, but who'll believe our story unless we can capture it and get it into port somehow.
Charlie: Better we build raft and get off ship right away before we all get killed.
: Charlie's right.
: That monster will be back.
: Are there any acetylene torches aboard, Charlie?
: Maybe in machine shop.
: We could use those torches as weapons.
: Good idea.
: Charlie, you get those torches.
: Dr. Quest, see if you can find other weapons in the cabins.
: I'll take a look below and see what I can find in the hold.
: I better go with you, Race.
: That-that thing might be down there.
: No, Jonny. You and Hadji stick close to your dad.
: And look for material to build a raft with.
: Okay, Race.
: [airplane droning]
: Search plane calling base.
: No sign of Quest plane.
: Will continue search.
: [dramatic music]
: Hmm, I better have a look behind that door.
: [door opens]
: What a mess!
: That monster must've been here too.
: [roaring]
: [hissing]
: What am I saying, he still is here!
: [gunshots]
: [monster growling]
: bam
: [growling]
: [thudding]
: Boy, I hope that door holds for a while.
: [monster roaring]
: [thudding]
: What happened, Race?
: We could hear the monster.
: Did you see him?
: I sure did.
: I managed to lock him up in the paint shop but I don't know how long he'll stay put. Any luck?
: I found this Berry pistol and some flares in the captain's quarters.
: And Hadji and I found lots of lumber.
: And we got the floodlights working.
: I find two torches.
: And there is lifeline cannon.
: Uh, maybe Charlie get shot at dragon.
: Good. We'll start building a raft as soon as dawn breaks.
: Why don't you kids go inside and get some sleep until then?
: Sleep?
: With that thing aboard?
: We would not get a moment's rest.
: It won't be light for an hour or so yet.
: Charlie, you stay with the boys.
: Race and I will stand watch out here.
: Okay, Dr. Quest.
: Come on, you guys. Charlie, sing you some Chinese lullabies.
: [monster roaring]
: [clanking]
: [grunting]
: thud
: [dramatic music]
: [roaring]
: Think we can build a raft strong enough, Race?
: It's our only chance.
: Unless we're picked up by a search plane before that monster gets loose.
Dr. Quest: I wish there was a way we could bring that creature with us.
: Not a chance, doctor.
: We couldn't build a cage strong enough.
: [roaring]
Race: The monster, it's loose!
: [roaring]
: Hit the floodlight, doctor, and grab a torch.
: [roaring]
: [glass shattering]
: If he comes any closer, try to keep him off with that torch.
: [roaring]
: Now, doctor, now!
: [sizzling]
: [groaning]
: Charlie, do something.
: [speaking in foreign language]
: [roaring]
: It just bounced off.
: [yelps]
: Bandit, Bandit, come back here.
: [yelping]
: He dived into the hold.
: We've got to get him.
: [monster roaring]
: It will set the ship on fire.
: We will be burned alive.
: Better to drown in sea.
: splash Sharks! Sharks!
: I think I change my mind.
: Help! Help!
: I am being attacked by ferocious sharks!
: Charlie's in trouble.
: Give him a hand.
: I've got the monster backed off.
: Keep splashing, Charlie.
: [gunshots]
: [gunshots]
: Thank you.
: Thank you, honorable ancestors for saving my life.
: I should never have left my homeland.
: I should never have come to sea.
: I know better next time.
: By the Great Buddha, I know better.
: [radio static]
: The Star of Borneo has been sighted due north of the Lingga Archipelago.
: She reports as, part of her superstructure is on fire.
: If anyone is aboard, maybe our planes can affect a rescue.
: He's backing away, doctor.
: Keep it on him.
: Keep it on him.
: [roaring]
: [dramatic music]
: Bandit. Here, Bandit.
: Where are you, boy?
: Jonny, look.
: Coffins!
Jonny: Rows and rows of coffins.
: This sure is a strange cargo.
: Jonny, that one on the end, it's moving.
: [creaking]
: Bandit, what are you doing in there?
: Come on out of that coffin.
: That's sure a dumb place to hide.
: [yelps]
: Hadji, look.
: It's full of yellow bricks.
: Some bricks.
: Solid gold!
: A fortune in gold.
: We better tell dad, monster or no monster.
: [dramatic music]
: Keep forcing him back, doctor.
: We've got him trapped against the flames.
: [groaning]
: Hadji, look!
: [groaning]
: Where is he?
: I hope he's gone.
: I am out of fuel.
: Yeah, this tank's almost empty too.
: Look up there, dad.
: He's on the mast.
: [roaring]
: Hit him with the other spotlight, doctor.
: We'll try that Berry pistol and the flares.
: [roaring]
: Ready with the Berry pistol?
: Let 'em fly.
: [gunshots]
: [groaning]
: [gunshot]
: boom
: [roaring]
: Might as well use a bean shooter, Race.
: Hey, what's Charlie up to?
: Please, honorable ancestors make humble Charlie's aim good.
: bang
: [roaring]
: [creaking]
: [roaring]
: There he goes. Look out!
: What a high dive!
: click splash No sign of it.
: I have a hunch it's gone back to the depths from which it came.
: I hope it stays there. Anyway, Hadji got a picture of it.
: Oh, yeah, and we found this.
: The hold is full of coffins.
: And the coffins are full of gold bricks.
: So that's the mysterious cargo.
: Hey, come on, you guys.
: We have to put out this fire.
: Well, the monster is gone, and we're all okay.
: But no one will believe our story.
: Yes they will, doctor.
: We have proof, thanks to Hadji.
: Let's see the picture.
: I haven't taken it from the camera yet.
: Even a picture of that monster will have great scientific value.
: Let me see, Hadji.
: Hey, that's a great picture...of your thumb.
: Good try anyway, Hadji.
: Sorry, Dr. Quest.
: It is true.
: Haste makes waste.
: Well, anyway, we have a ship full of gold.
: Where do we go from here?
: Yes. Do we stay with ship or drift on raft?
: [airplane droning]
: [barking]
: What is it, Bandit?
: I hope it's not the monster returning.
: Not a monster, he hears a plane.
: There it is!
: [instrumental music]
: Oh! Thank you.
: Thank you, noble ancestors.
: You have saved this unworthy one.
: Search plane calling base.
: Have found the Star of Borneo.
: And we're in luck.
: We found Dr. Quest and his party, too.
