Jonny Quest, brought to you by...

Gunnar, come in.

I hear from the village that Dr. Quest and his party

have rented a cruiser to bring him up the fjord,

Professor Ericson.

Good.

It'll be an honor to have a man of Dr. Quest's prominence

as my guest.

And he will be the first to see what I've accomplished.

Take the car, Gunner. Meet him at the dock.

Yes, sir.

Professor Ericson, what has happened?

Are you alright?

Professor?

Professor, are you alright?

Someone... or something

just tried to put me out of commission permanently.

My glasses were knocked off.

I couldn't see who it was.

Here they are, sir.

Ah, that is better.

My notes are still here.

Whoever it was, you must have scared him off.

Probably through that window.

There's nothing out here.

Nothing.

Except those ugly gargoyles.

Well, we know it can't be one of them.

I'm looking forward to meeting Professor Ericson.

He's a great man.

Yes, his experiments with gravity

have certainly brought him world fame.

Very true.

And being the recluse that he is,

it's quite a distinction

being asked to visit him at Raklev Castle.

Raklev Castle? Sounds spooky.

Think we should've brought some ghost powder, Hadji?

The best way to handle ghosts is to ignore them.

Unless they are pretty and girls.

No“. “How“ hard 011 gm ghost?

I meet one once in Kashmir.

- A princess. - Really?

Then she turned into a water lily and floated away.

Oh, brother.

Ah, there are many legends about Raklev Castle.

Baron Raklev, who built it centuries ago

is still supposed to wander through its corridors.

Centuries? And he is still alive?

No, he's been dead over a hundred years.

He's buried in the castle's private cemetery.

Private cemetery?

That castle must have everything

including hot and cold running tombstones.

Ivar?

Ivar, it's me, Dietrich, Dietrich.

Como In quick, before someone so“ you.

Did you get Ericson's formula?

- No. No. Not yet. Not yet. - Why?

I was in the laboratory,

I took care of the professor. But the servant heard me.

Excuses, excuses.

I want that book, and I want it now!

I'm trying, Ivar. I'm trying.

But I must get the key to the laboratory

when the professor isn't there.

And he's expecting a visitor. An American scientist.

A Dr. Quest.

Quest?

The professor will undoubtedly show Quest the formula.

This should be your chance.

Don't fail, Dietrich.

Don't fail this time.

I-I won't. I won't. I won't!

Get back to your perch. And stay there!

Keep your eyes open.

Move at your first chance

and get that formula.

KHlanyone that gets in your way.

Gosh, dad. Those cliffs look like they're right on top of us.

This is the deepest and most mysterious fjord in Norway.

And the narrowest.

Further ahead is the Strondheim glacier.

It overhangs the water too.

That's it coming into view now. A magnificent sight.

Wow, what would happen if it ever collapsed?

Just don't be there when it does

or you'll be saying hello to your water lily princess ghost.

Jonny's right.

If it all fell, it would wipe out everything beneath it.

Start a tidal wave probably

and destroy all villages on the banks.

Gosh!

(Jonnfl How about that, Bandit?

A welcoming committee of one seal.

A sul... and a porlscopo?

Say, dad?

Can submarines navigate these fjords?

Submarines? What do you mean?

Well, there is a periscope behind us.

Or at least there was one.

Probably the tail of another seal, Jonny.

It's highly unlikely you'd find a submarine around here.

Then I saw a highly unlikely submarine.

- I didn't see anything. - Well, I did.

The fjord is treacherous. Be careful.

Lam.

Do you think the cruiser saw us?

No, but we won't surface again

until we rendezvous with Ivar at Strondheim glacier.

If he is successful,

many people will be willing to pay a fortune.

A vast fortune for Ericson's formula.

We will surface tomorrow at dawn.

Is this the only road to the castle?

Yes, doctor, and not used often.

We have few guests, you know.

Did he say guests or ghosts?

H you can't see ghosts, Jenny,

you can always go back to seeing submarines,

right, Bandit?

Well, I did see one.

My son thought he saw the periscope of

a submarine in the fjord,

would such a thing be possible?

In the fjord?

Only if the crew were crazy, Dr. Quest.

Look, those spooky monsters.

Gargoyles, Jonny.

Originally, decorated water spouts

but a word now applied to all grotesque figures

on top of cornices.

I'd hate to meet one in a dark forest.

I'd hate to meet one, period.

That old castle looks like a great place to explore.

A dangerous place to explore.

Professor Ericson was attacked just this afternoon

in his laboratory.

- Attacked? - By whom?

We don't know.

But when one realizes the potential

of successful experiments with the power of gravity

it is more certain to attract dangerous elements.

But let him tell you himself. Shall we go in?

Get Bandit and come on, Jonny.

Right. Jump, boy.

What is it, boy? What's the matter?

Oh. R's lust. 1 MN.

Hey! He moved.

Hadji, look at that gargoyle. It moved.

The gargoyle moved?

Yeah, he shooed away a bird.

Oh, Jenny.

When you see submarine periscopes

where there couldn't be any

and then see stone gargoyles move when you know they can't

I think you'd better have your eyes examined

or your whole head.

We have a proverb in my country, Hadji.

Seeing is believing.

We have one in mine, too.

I'm from Missouri.

I am not surprised at these attacks on me, Dr. Quest.

The world of science is as full of greed and envy

as any other world.

Shouldn't the authorities be notified if they continue?

I care little who my enemies are.

Work is all that matters.

Work and results.

And speaking of results

I will show you what I have accomplished.

You will see the power of the current

that runs through this bar.

In a moment of ego, I named my discovery after myself.

I call it Ericon.

Now watch. As I drop this heavy ball...

(Jonnfl Hey, it's dropping up.

Incredible.

If the ceiling hadn't stopped it,

it would keep going forever.

I wish I'd known about this when I dropped algebra.

But when I turn off the current...

Can we do it again?

Certainly, you may do It If you with.

Swell. How do I work It?

Take this ball and hold it over the Ericon current, Jonny.

- Like this? - Right. Now drop it.

Bandit! He's falling the wrong way.

I will cut the power.

Catch him, Jenny.

Gotcha.

What's the matter, boy?

- Maybe he saw a ghost. - Well, maybe he did.

- Cut it out, boys. - Do not scoff, young man.

All old castles have their strange secrets,

haunts and hoaxes.

Well, in case anyone tries more attacks on you, professor,

I'II sleep in your room.

I'll try to give him a run for his money.

And we can station Bandit outside this laboratory.

He's a genuine ghost-watching watchdog, right, Bandit?

Thank you, I appreciate the offer, Mr. Bannon.

Haunts and hoaxes even in old castles

often have flesh and blood characters behind them.

Do submarine periscopes have flesh and blood characters

behind them too, professor?

Here we go again.

Jonny thought he saw a periscope in the fjord

but I'm sure it was only a seal.

It would take desperate men indeed

to try and run a submarine through the fjord

with it's tricky channel and the danger of falling ice.

- Falling ice? - From Strondheim glacier.

I have a small helicopter here.

Now and then, Gunnar and I check the glacier's progress.

But to answer your question, Jenny,

I suspect your periscope was just another

of this strange country's weird delusions.

If you say so. Slr.

Do we have to wait here under this wall of ice?

Yes, those were the orders.

We wait here for Ivar and the formula.

Stay where you are. Don't move.

Race, what's happening?

Something jumped me. It got the key to the safe.

- It looked like a gargoyle. - I knew it. I was right.

I wish I were back in Calcutta.

Quickly, we must get to the laboratory

by the back stairs.

You go ahead, we'll put out the fire.

The laboratory is down this way.

The laboratory door is open.

Hurry, maybe he's still there.

He got away.

And the safe hasn't been opened.

It is gone.

The Ericon Bar is gone.

Dietrich.

Dietrich, did you get the formula?

No, War.

Why not?

I got-I got this instead.

The Ericon Bar.

With the Ericon current to cut off gravity.

The Ericon Bar.

I can ask any sum in the world for this... and get it.

And-and me? What about me? When do I get paid?

You'll be paid when I'm ready to pay you.

Now, get back to your perch before they find you're gone.

But... what difference does that make now?

I want my money. My money!

Don't question me, Dietrich.

Get back up on the parapet and keep your ears open.

Hear what they say and report.

No. No!

Yes. Yes!

And right now.

I want my money.

Go!

I'll get back to you later.

You'll regret this.

You'll regret this!

Doctor?

Doctor, I see scratches on the sash.

Whatever it was went out this window.

See anything outside?

No, just those gargoyles.

I must get the Ericon Bar back.

- Maybe the police can help. - I will call them now.

So, he threatened me, huh?

I'll pay him.

I'll pay him... right now.

What was it, Race?

Looks like one of the gargoyles.

So I was right. The gargoyle did move.

Yeah, not only that

but this gargoyle has been shot.

And whatever it is, it isn't a gargoyle.

Dietrich!

Dietrich Sorenson.

He was once Norway's greatest acrobatic dwarf.

I wonder how he ever got involved in a thing like this?

Professor? Professor!

A car is going from the gravedigger's shack

down the road to the fjord.

M's War.

So, he's in this too.

And probably taking my secrets with him.

Where can he go?

There are boats at the dock.

And many inlets and islands nearby.

- You said you had a helicopter. - Behind the castle.

Come on, Race.

You boys stay with the professor.

Yes, sir.

Hadji, if they find that submarine I saw

you'll be eating your words.

And you better chew 'em good.

There he is, in our cruiser.

He can't get far. There wasn't much gas left.

But I can't land this chopper on water, either.

- Look there, up ahead. - It's a submarine alright.

Undoubtedly waiting to pick up Ivar.

Here comes War.

- Looks llko he's don. It. - Good.

What about that helicopter?

Just keep them off with the rifle.

Ivar will be aboard in a minute.

- They're shooting at us. - I'II move up, out of range.

There's our man.

No. No!

Stop shooting, you fools.

You stupid fools!

We're under the glacier!

Stop shooting!

There was nothing we could do, professor.

I'm afraid your Ericon Bar met the same icy fate

your enemies did.

Well, I am not the first scientist

who has had to go back to the drawing board.

By the way, I have a souvenir for you boys.

A souvenir?

Right here. The real gargoyle from the parapet.

Gunnar found it in the gravekeeper's shack.

Gee, thanks, professor.

Uh, thanks a lot.

Yeah. Just what we've always wanted.

I'm glad you like it.

Goodbye.

Bandit doesn't seem to like your little souvenir.

I'm not sure I do, either.

Hey, Jonny, I think I saw it move.

Now, let's not start that again.
