TALK TO ME, DR. SURD.
I'LL TALK, BEN, AND YOU BETTER LISTEN.
FIRST DO YOU HAVE MY MONEY?
CASHING A CHECK FOR TEN MILLION DOLLARS ON A SATURDAY NIGHT
IS LIKE TRYING TO HERD CATS IN A LIGHTNING STORM.
WELL YOU AND YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS AT THE PENTAGON
SHOULDA' THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE CUTTING OFF MY FUNDING.
NOW THOSE BUREAUCRATS WILL KNOW EXACTLY HOW EFFECTIVE
MY NERVE GAS REALLY IS.
THEY WON'T, BUT A LOT OF INNOCENT PEOPLE WILL.
JEREMIAH, WHY AREN'T YOU USING YOUR GIFTS TO HELP PEOPLE?
HELP THOSE PATHETIC SHEEP?
WHAT ON EARTH FOR?
DOESN'T IT BOTHER YOU THAT MILLIONS WILL DIE?
DOES IT BOTHER ME WHEN I STEP ON ANTS CROSSING THE SIDEWALK?
HOW'D YOU GET SO TWISTED?
DID WE GET IT?
WE HAVE A TRACE.
HE'S AT PIER 27.
IT'S OVER ON THE NORTH SIDE, GET GOING.
ALL RIGHT, I WANT HIM ALIVE.
LET'S GO.
JEREMIAH, WE HAVE A SECURITY BREACH.
TAKE CARE OF IT, JULIA.
I'LL BEGIN PREPARATIONS TO RELEASE THE NERVE GAS.
YOU TWO, TAKE THE STERN.
LORENZO.
BE CAREFUL, JEREMIAH.
WE'RE PINNED DOWN TOPSIDE.
PUT A LIGHT ON THE BRIDGE.
EAT THAT, SUCKERS.
LET'S GET THESE BOZOS.
YOU THREE TAKE THE BRIDGE.
I'M GOING BELOW.
GAME'S OVER, JEREMIAH.
YOU'RE BLUFFING.
THERE'S NO NERVE GAS ON THIS SHIP.
DO YOU THINK I'D KEEP IT HERE?
IT'S QUITE DEADLY, YOU KNOW.
ONE SNIFF CAN RUIN YOUR WHOLE DAY.
I HAVE IT HIDDEN IN THE CITY.
STEP AWAY FROM THE CONTROLS.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU'D SHOOT AN UNARMED MAN.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
LET'S TALK.
THERE'S STILL A CHANCE WE CAN WORK OUT A DEAL.
HOLD IT! FREEZE!
YOU SET ME UP, BANNON, MY LEG.
FREEZE!
NO, HOLD YOUR FIRE.
BANNON.
SO, COMMANDER BENNETT, TO WHAT DO I OWE THIS HONOR?
SURD.
DR. JEREMIAH SURD?
HE DIED ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO.
BUT AS YOU MAY RECALL WE WERE NEVER
ABLE TO LOCATE THE POSITION OF HIS NERVE GAS.
AT LEAST NOT UNTIL NOW.
WHY CALL ME?
RACE, I NEED YOUR HELP.
YOU KNEW SURD.
YOU STUDIED HIM FOR MONTHS.
YOU'RE THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB.
GET SIMS, HE KNEW SURD.
WE DID.
HE'S DEAD, ALONG WITH FIVE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
AND THE REST OF CHICAGO, IF WE DON'T STOP THAT LEAK SOON.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE IT CONTAINED IN THAT DOME BEHIND ME.
BUT IT'S ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX.
BENTON, YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME ALONG FOR THIS ONE.
SURD WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY.
RACE, I'VE LOST TRACK OF HOW MANY TIMES YOU'VE SAVED MY LIFE.
I COULDN'T POSSIBLY LET YOU DO THIS ALONE.
ALL RIGHT, HERE GOES.
YOU KIDS READING THIS?
WE'RE ALL LINKED IN.
BE CAREFUL, WILL YOU?
ACCESS ALL OF DR. SURD'S OLD FILES AND SEE
IF YOU COME ACROSS ANY SCHEMATICS
OR BLUEPRINTS FOR THIS LABORATORY.
I AM ALREADY ON IT, DR. QUEST.
YOU OKAY?
WHAT THE...?
IS THAT THE GAS?
DAD?
WE'RE ALL RIGHT.
IT'S OKAY.
WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT IN THESE SUITS.
FOR THE TIME BEING.
RACE, YOU'D BETTER SEE WHAT THE CLOCK IS CONNECTED TO.
HADJI, HAVE YOU FOUND ANY SCHEMATICS YET?
I'M AFRAID THAT WE HAVE COME UP EMPTY-HANDED.
DR. QUEST, RACE, THIS IS BENNETT.
YOU'VE GOT 22 HOURS BEFORE YOUR SUITS ARE COMPROMISED.
YOU'VE GOTTA BLAST THEM OUT, COMMANDER BENNETT.
NO, THAT MIGHT SPREAD THE GAS PREMATURELY.
WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO DEFUSE THE SITUATION FROM THE INSIDE.
FUR ON A CATFISH.
BENTON, THERE'S ENOUGH PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES
UNDER HERE TO BLOW US TO KINGDOM COME.
NOT TO MENTION RELEASING NERVE GAS THROUGH THE CITY.
WELL, WE'D BETTER GET TO WORK.
THIS PLACE HAS MORE WIRES THAN THE WHITE HOUSE.
THEY'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WIRES TO CUT.
I WISH JEREMIAH SURD WAS ALIVE.
WHY, JESSIE?
SO I COULD KILL HIM.
JESS, THAT'S IT.
WE'VE GOTTA FIND SURD.
OH, NO, MY FRIEND.
JEREMIAH SURD DIED IN 1978.
WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE. AND LIKE YOU ALWAYS SAY, HADJI,
"A BLIND MAN CAN'T TAKE THE SUNRISE FOR GRANTED."
I SAID NO SUCH THING.
WHATEVER.
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT SURD'S DEAD.
I'LL START WITH HIS SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
AND ANY IRS FILES HE MAY HAVE HAD.
ANYTHING?
NOPE.
WE SHOULD CHECK WITH TRW
AND ANY GOVERNMENT PENSION RECORDS.
WELL?
I CAN FIND NOTHING.
WHAT ABOUT THE POLICE FILES?
HOSPITAL TRANSFER RECORDS?
COME ON, GUYS, THINK.
I FOUND IT.
WHAT?
HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE.
OH, MAN.
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
HOW COME THE LAST HOSPITAL TRANSFER RECORD
IS DATED FIVE MONTHS AFTER THE DEATH CERTIFICATE?
WHERE'D THEY TRANSFER HIM, HADJ?
DR. JEREMIAH SURD WAS TRANSFERRED
TO BELL ISLE INSTITUTE FOR THE INSANE IN JANUARY OF 1979.
IT KIND OF REDEFINES INTENSIVE CARE.
AND I SUPPOSE WE MISSED VISITING HOURS.
ANY IDEAS?
YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE MOST ABOUT THUNDERSTORMS?
BLACKOUTS.
OKAY, GRAB A FUSE, EVERYBODY.
NOW WAIT FOR THE LIGHTNING.
NOW!
WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS?
DANG STORM BLEW ANOTHER FUSE.
YEAH, I'LL GET IT.
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M JONNY QUEST.
AND THESE ARE MY FRIENDS JESSIE BANNON AND HADJI SINGH.
QUEST AND BANNON.
SO YOU'VE COME TO PLEAD FOR THE LIVES OF YOUR FATHERS.
HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR FATHERS?
EVERY STATION ON TELEVISION
HAS BEEN PLAYING THAT STORY SINCE THIS MORNING.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THEY'VE INTERRUPTED SCOOBY-DOO?
AND IT WASN'T EVEN ONE I'D SEEN YET.
I'M STILL VERY UPSET.
I'VE GOT A PROPOSAL FOR YOU.
TELL ME, YOUNG MAN, OF YOUR PROPOSAL.
WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE THAT WOULD BE ANY SWEETER
THAN THE IMPENDING DEATH OF RACE BANNON?
SOMETHING YOU'LL HAVE TO SEE TO BELIEVE.
WE CALL IT QUESTWORLD.
THIS IS THE GATEWAY TO A WHOLE NEW REALITY.
QUESTWORLD, LOGON.
SUBJECT: DR. JEREMIAH SURD, COUNTDOWN.
IT'S EXTRAORDINARY.
ASTOUNDING.
I'M WHOLE AGAIN.
IT IS A WORLD WHERE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
WE HAVE A MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED
QUESTWORLD SYSTEM AT HOME.
REALLY?
I SEE.
SO YOU'LL GIVE ME THE RUN OF YOUR QUESTWORLD
WHERE I CAN BE YOUNG AND WHOLE AGAIN.
AND IN RETURN, I TELL YOU HOW TO SAVE YOUR FATHERS.
YOU HAVE A DEAL.
BUT HOW WILL YOU GET ME OUT OF THIS PRISON?
WE GOT IN, DIDN'T WE?
WE'LL GET YOU OUT.
LOOKS LIKE HE'S HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE IN THERE.
OH, JONNY QUEST.
DO YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND THE ENTITY
YOU'VE UNLEASHED UPON YOUR A WORLD?
IT'S MAGNIFICENT.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHERE'D HE GO?
OH, THIS IS NOT GOOD.
HE HAS SLIPPED OUT OF QUESTWORLD.
WHAT?
TO WHERE?
IT'S 2 IN THE MORNING.
THIS HAD BETTER BE GOOD.
JULIA.
JEREMIAH?
OH, JULIA, DID YOU MISS ME?
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD.
THIS CAN'T BE REAL.
THERE ARE MANY REALITIES, MY DEAR.
JEREMIAH, IT IS YOU.
I DO BELIEVE WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS.
CAN YOU CONTACT LORENZO?
OF COURSE.
WELL, I HAVE SOMETHING OF AN ERRAND FOR BOTH OF YOU.
I CANNOT FIND HIM, JONNY.
HE'S NOT USING ANY OF THE NORMAL INTERNET ACCESSES.
LOOK, SURD'S LINKED A PHONE LINE.
SHUT QUESTWORLD DOWN, NOW.
ALL RIGHT, SURD, YOU'VE HAD YOUR FUN.
GIVE US WHAT WE WANT.
DAD, DO YOU READ ME?
JONNY, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
HAVE YOU FOUND ANY OF SURD'S FILES?
NO, BUT WE FOUND SURD.
SURD?
WHAT IN THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
NO TIME TO EXPLAIN, DAD.
LISTEN, TO STOP THE BOMB
CUT THE THIRD PURPLE WIRE IN THE EIGHTH CONDUIT.
ALL RIGHT.
DAD!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU LIED TO US.
PRETTY GOOD, LITTLE MAN.
GRAB THAT CASE.
MAN, WHAT HAPPENED?
RACE?
RACE, WHERE ARE YOU?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW, BENTON.
THIS MIGHT BE THE END OF THE ROAD FOR ME.
THERE'S A TEAR IN MY SUIT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I CAN CLAMP DOWN ON IT LIKE THIS.
SIT TIGHT, RACE.
WE'LL FIX IT.
DAD, RACE, ARE YOU GUYS ALL RIGHT?
WE HEARD AN EXPLOSION.
IT WAS JUST ONE OF DR. SURD'S LITTLE TRAPS, I'M AFRAID.
DAD?
DON'T WORRY, PONCHITA.
ON THREE, MOVE YOUR HAND.
ONE, TWO, THREE.
DAD?
WELL, IF I'M NOT GREEN BY NOW, I GUESS I'M ALL RIGHT.
SHOW'S OVER, LET'S GET BACK TO WORK.
WE'D BETTER.
THERE'S ONLY EIGHT HOURS UNTIL THE REAL FIREWORKS START.
THIS IS VERY, VERY BAD.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SURD GOT AWAY.
NOT ONLY THAT, HE HAS STOLEN OUR PORTABLE QUESTWORLD SYSTEM.
WHAT?
THAT MUST MEAN SURD STILL WANTS TO PLAY IN QUESTWORLD.
AND IF HE GOES INTO QUESTWORLD, WE CAN FIND HIM.
QUESTWORLD, LOGON.
SUBJECTS: JONNY QUEST AND JESSIE BANNON.
THREE, TWO, ONE.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
SURD'S ALTERING THE PROGRAM.
THAT MEANS HE HAS JUST AS MUCH CONTROL
OVER QUESTWORLD AS WE DO.
THIS IS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT QUESTWORLD NOW BELONGS TO ME.
OH, MY.
THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE.
TERMINATE QUESTWORLD.
TERMINATE.
I DON'T THINK SO, MY LITTLE FRIEND. YOU
SEE, I AM NOW IN CONTROL.
OH, THAT IS WHAT YOU THINK.
CONTROL THIS, YOU SICKO.
JONNY, JESSIE, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
THIS IS SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE.
WE DID NOT PROGRAM QUESTWORLD TO INFLICT PHYSICAL HARM.
YEAH, BUT WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES PROGRAMMING QUESTWORLD.
HOW ARE THINGS COMING, RACE?
WHAT CAN I SAY?
SOMETIMES YOU EAT THE BEAR, AND SOMETIMES THE BEAR EATS YOU.
I HATE TO REMIND YOU
BUT YOU ONLY HAVE FOUR HOURS LEFT.
IT SEEMS LESS THAN WISE TO ENTER QUESTWORLD
AFTER SEEING SURD'S DISPLAY OF POWER.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY, HADJI.
WE HAVE TO TRAP SURD IF WE'RE GONNA HELP DAD AND RACE.
ALL RIGHT.
GOOD LUCK, MY FRIENDS.
QUESTWORLD, LOGON.
THREE, TWO, ONE.
HADJ, ANY IDEA WHICH WAY WE'LL FIND SURD?
I CAN FIND NOTHING.
I AM DUMBFOUNDED.
OH, THAT'S A BIG HELP.
WELCOME TO MY FUNHOUSE.
TOO BAD YOU WON'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO APPRECIATE IT.
WRONG, SURD.
ACTIVATE POWER SLED.
YOU CAN'T ESCAPE.
HADJI, I NEED A SONIC DETONATOR.
I AM ALREADY ON IT.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S HIT IT.
HOW QUAINT, A PATHETIC LITTLE BOMB.
WHICH ONE IS IT?
HANG ON.
JULIA, LOG ME OUT, NOW.
YES.
WHILE YOU WERE KEEPING DR. SURD OCCUPIED
I MANAGED TO LOCATE THE BACK DOOR TO THE SYSTEM HE IS USING.
IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE QUESTWORLD IS COMPLETELY MINE.
LOG ME INTO QUESTWORLD, JULIA.
I HAVE MUCH WORK TO DO.
QUESTWORLD, LOGON.
SUBJECT: DR. JEREMIAH SURD.
COUNTDOWN.
I HAVE HIM.
HE'S HEADED SOUTH ON I-95.
OH, MAN, HE'S AT LEAST 50 MILES AWAY.
FIFTY MILES BY ROAD.
NOT IF WE GO CROSS-COUNTRY.
THIS IS THE ONE.
LORENZO, HELP ME.
BOSS?
WE HAD A DEAL, SURD.
TELL US HOW TO GET OUR DADS OUT OF YOUR LAB.
OR WHAT?
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, KID.
I DON'T THINK SO.
YOU'RE GONNA RISK SHOOTING YOUR BOSS?
HE'S A PRETTY BIG TARGET.
PUT THE GUN AWAY, LORENZO.
IT SEEMS I HAVE NO CHOICE.
I HOPE YOU GOT THE RIGHT ONE.
WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF TIME.
FIND THE RED AND YELLOW SENSOR WIRES AND BRIDGE THEM.
WE GOT IT.
NOW WHAT?
ISOLATE THE ORANGE AND THE BLUE WIRES.
CUT THE ORANGE ONE.
NO!
DON'T TRUST SURD.
THE BLUE WIRE.
CUT THE BLUE WIRE, BENTON.
NO, DAD, THE ORANGE.
CUT THE ORANGE WIRE.
THE BLUE WIRE.
POP, THE ORANGE WIRE.
CUT THE BLUE ONE.
DAD!
YOU PLAYED A GOOD HAND, KID.
YOU JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE CARDS.
JUMP!
JONNY?
JESSIE, HADJI?
DAD?
ARE YOU OKAY, SON?
ARE WE OKAY?
WE HEARD AN EXPLOSION.
WE THOUGHT YOU WERE...
YEAH, I KNOW SAME THING I WAS THINKING.
GOOD NIGHT AND THANK YOU.
DAD, YOU KNOW HOW I'M ALWAYS SAYING
THAT YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME?
YES, SON.
WELL, THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE TIME I'M GLAD YOU DIDN'T.
YOU AND ME BOTH, JONNY.
YOU AND ME BOTH.
