Jonny Quest, brought to you by...

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.

Aye-aye, sir.

What is that?

Hans, sound the alarm. All hands on deck.

Hurry, men! Hurry!

Well, Race.

In a 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.

Attention, all ships and planes in the Java Sea area.

Hold it down, fellas.

There's a message coming through.

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 fight, Jenny.

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?

It'll be tricky, doctor, but let's give it a try.

Here goes the vertical power.

- 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.

[yelpingl.

There's something aboard this ship. Look.

- Could that be a footprint? - It could.

Looks like some kind of seagoing dinosaur made it.

A dinosaur? On this spooky old freighter?

Dinosaurs are extinct.

So you never can tell where you'll find them.

We better check the captains quarters.

- You boys stay close to us. - You too, Bandit.

I don't want some dinosaur stopplng on you.

Wow! Looks like a hurricane hit this cabin.

Or something worse even.

Every piece of fumltun 's boon broken.

Maybe the ship's log will tell us something.

Is that written in Dutch?

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.

"It's 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."

If it came from the bottom of the sea

I can understand why light would bother it.

"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 chain 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 ship's carrying that could be 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 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?

That's it. It ends right there.

Oh gosh, the monster must've come in and killed the captain

while he was writing.

I hope not, but it certainly seems that way.

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.

Bandit, what's wrong?

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?

- See? - Alright, everybody. Inside.

Let's find that radio room fast.

Don 't worry, Bandit.

Nothing'“ happen to you that won't happen to the rest of us.

That's a happy thought.

- 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'II 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.

And 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 someway to defend ourselves.

Yeah. All we have to fear is monsters themselves.

Any food, Jenny?

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.

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.

He's half frozen.

Oh, you are not dragon. Who are you?

We're friends. Come outta 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 daytime.

An act of desperation or curiosity.

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.

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.

- 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.

Uh-oh! Maybe he hears the monster's footprints again.

How can anyone hear footprints?

Some monsters make louder ones than others.

The monster!

It's right outside the door.

You boys get down behind that table.

If it breaks in, I'll try to stop him with fire.

Dad, the porthole!

It's gone.

Jenny, find a hose and get that fire under control.

I am going with Race.

That does it. Turn off the water, Charlie.

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.

No, but who'll believe our story unless we can capture it

and get it in the port somehow.

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.

Doctor, 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 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.

Search plane calling base. No sign of Quest plane.

Will continue search.

Hmm, I better have a look behind that door.

What a mess!

That monster must've been here too.

What am I saying, he still is here!

Boy, I hope that door holds for a while.

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 Very pistol and some flares

in the captain's quarters.

Hadji and I found lots of lumber.

And we got the floodlights working.

I find two torches. And there is lifeline cannon.

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.

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.

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.

The monster, it's loose!

Hit the floodlight, doctor, and grab a torch.

If he comes any closer,

try to keep him off with that torch.

Now, doctor, now.

Charlie, do something.

It just bounced off.

[yelpingl.

Bandit, Bandit, come back here.

[yelpingl.

- He dived into the hold. - We've got to get him.

It will set the ship on fire.

We will be burned alive. Better to drown in sea.

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.

Thank you. Thank you, honorable ancestors

for saving my life.

I should never have left my homeland.

I should never have gone to sea.

I know better next time.

By the Great Buddha, I know better.

The Star of Borneo has been sighted

due north of the Lingga Archipelago.

The report says 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.

Bandit. Here, Bandit. Where are you, boy?

Jonny, look.

Coffins! Rows and rows of coffins.

This sure is a strange cargo.

Jonny, that one on the end. It's moving.

Bandit, what are you doing in there?

Come on outta that coffin. That's a dumb place to hide.

Hadji, look. It's full of yellow bricks.

Some bricks. Solid gold!

A fortune in gold.

We better tell dad, monster or no monster.

Keep forcing him back, doctor.

We've got him trapped against the flames.

Hadji, look!

- Where is he? - I hope he's gone.

- I am out of fuel. - This tank's almost empty too.

Look up there, dad. He's on the mast.

Hit him with the other spotlight, doctor.

We'll try that Very pistol and the flares.

- Ready with the Very pistol? - Let 'em fly.

Might as well use a Beam Shooter, Race.

Hey, what's Charlie up to?

Please, honorable ancestors, make humble Charlie's aim good.

There he goes. Look out!

What a high dive!

No sign of it.

I think it has 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?

What is it, Bandit?

I hope its not the monster returning.

Not a monster, he hears a plane.

There it is!

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.
