Jackie Chan Adventures (2000–2005): Season 1, Episode 1 - The Dark Hand - full transcript

Jackie recovers a shield from Bavaria. When he returns home, he finds some people are very interested in the shield, including an old friend who asks Jackie for some help. Jackie's niece, Jade, arrives in America.

Professor: And mad king Ludwig

would invite guests into
the castle linderhof,

where they would fall victim

to any of his dozens
of deadly traps.

Rude.

Huh. That's why his name
was not "lovable Ludwig"

or "good neighbor
king of Bavaria."

Ohh! Stand back.

Ah, come on.

What are the odds that
these traps still...

Yeeh.

Ludwig's lost treasure.

I'm sure the Booty is
booby-trapped, so don't...

(rumbling)

Touch anything.

Go! Go! Go!

Ohh!

Bad day.

Ha! Bad day! Bad day!

Bad day! Bad day! Bad day!

(Grunting)

(Screaming)

(Jackie screaming)

Snowboarding works
much better with snow.



Follow him.

Follow him.

(Bell rings)

What is it, uncle?

Come, give uncle a hug.

Ow!

You did not make
coffee this morning.

Coffee is the only thing

keeping uncle's
ancient heart beating.

You want dead uncle?

No? Then you make coffee.

Ok.

One more thing.

You received phone call
from the university.

They want you to
translate parchments.

Ok.

One more thing.

I cannot read
these inscriptions.

Very old writing.

I must go in back,
look at my journals.

Ok.

One more thing.

This is Jade, your niece.

She will live with you for a year.
Ok?

Ok.

I have a niece?!

Your cousin shin's
girl from Hong Kong.

Jade is not behaving
well there...

Doing poorly in school.

Your cousin thinks she will
do better in America with you.

Uh, nobody asked me!

Did not want to bother you.

Now, you both get acquainted
while I go do work.

But I don't know
anything about children.

(Nervous laugh)

Hello.

I am Jackie.

Hmm. No English.

Ne ho ma?

(Bell rings)

Welcome to uncle's rare finds.

How can I help you?

You're Jackie chan,
the archeologist?

Oh, I dabble in the study
of past civilizations.

Well,
we are aware that you recently

dabbled a shield from
a bavarian castle.

Our extremely wealthy employer

is interested in
purchasing that shield.

I'm sorry.

I already donated that
piece to the university.

Really?

Aah!

It would be in your
family's best interests

to undonate the
shield, Mr. chan,

by this time tomorrow.

Did they buy anything?

No.

You terrible salesman.

Watch the girl and
hide the shield.

Where am I going to
hide a big shield?

Where did I put it?

Whoa!

Hey! Aah!

Ow!

Heh. That will buff right out.

Nya nya!

Electric swords?!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Ow!

No more playtime! Go! Go! Go!

Kid: Let's get out of here!

Aah!

Hey! What the...

Wow.

Let's get out of here.

Jade?

Now he's coming to.

Aah!

Augustus black!

What are you doing here?

Oh, what am I doing here?

I'm afraid it's official
business, my friend.

I didn't think these
were your backup singers.

Where have you been?
I don't hear from you for 6 years.

Boom! You're in San
Francisco saving my butt.

Whoa. Those thugs must
have knocked me out.

Actually, I knocked you out.

Why did you do that?

Jackie.

I thought we were friends.

We are, Jackie.

I'm sorry, but this
location must remain secret.

Oh, yes. I can see this is
some very special garbage.

Jackie...

Maybe I'll see you
in another 6 years.

Excuse me while I call a cab.

Uh, Jackie...

(dials phone)

(Screaming)

(Sighs)

(Screaming)

(Elevator dings)

Unh.

Tried to warn you.

How did you get down here?

The stairs.

Follow me.

Black: Jackie,
welcome to section 13.

I thought you were
with interpol.

Even when you knew me then,

I was shepherding
this agency in secret.

You're a spy?

They're spies?

Law enforcement, Jackie...

Elite special forces.

So why give me the big tour?

We are aware that
you've recently acquired

an artifact in Bavaria.

Why does everyone know this?

Jackie?

You are the second one

to ask me about
the shield today.

As I feared.

Want to fill me in?

Black: Section 13 was founded

to investigate large-scale
international crimes...

Crimes which it seems
can often be traced

to a syndicate
called the dark hand.

The dark hand has connections

to nearly every criminal
activity in existence.

Their leader is this man...

Valmont.

You are telling me
one man stopped you?

Uh, yes, but...

3 of my enforcers

armed with high-tech weapons

were defeated by
an archeologist?

Did we mention he had
windshield wipers?

Tohru.

Uh-oh. Whoa!

Whoa.

Tohru, can't breathe.

Enough.

(Gasping)

Tohru, bring me the shield.

While your tohru
impresses, valmont,

perhaps he should be aided by...

The shadowkahn.

As you wish, shendu.

Black: We recently
learned that the dark hand

has a sudden interest in collecting
certain historical artifacts.

Why?

Unknown,

but with this new development,

section 13 could use an archeology
expert such as yourself.

Oh, I'm really just an amateur.

A wise and talented amateur

whom I know and trust.

But my university work...

It wouldn't be
full-time, Jackie.

Research only, to help us stay
one step ahead of valmont.

I will consider it.

Whoa! Watch it!

Jackie!

Who is that?!

No relation.

Whoa! Whoa!

Stand back.

Jade: Jackie, grab on!

I'm busting you outta here.

You speak English?!

Jackie: Sorry!

Jackie: Look out!

Sorry! Heads up!

Jackie: Look out!

Jackie: Sorry!

Aah!

Jackie,
how many fingers do you see?

Look. Fishies.

Let go of me!

Young lady,
how did you get in here?

The stairs.

Where did you get the bike?

You could have been hurt.

I snuck it out of their garage.

Knew we'd need it to
blow this taco stand.

So, we outta here?

Jade,
these people are my friends.

Your friends knocked you out

and took you to a supersecret
underground base?!

Uh, yes.

America is so cool!

Care to explain how our security
was penetrated by a child?

I'm not a child.

I'm Jackie's niece.

Didn't know.
You had a niece, Jackie.

Join the club.

Jackie: Jade... - Come on,

just admit, wasn't I brave?

Yes, but you also need wisdom

to know when
challenges are too big.

Courage without wisdom is foolishness.
Understand?

Uh, my English must
not be too good.

(Cell phone rings)

Hello?

Uncle, on phone: Jackie.

Uncle. Where are you?

Uh, can't say.

Oh, one more thing.
Have you seen Jade?

Yes, she's with me.

See? I knew you two
would get along.

One more thing.

I have been doing
research on the shield.

Jackie, I have found what
the inscriptions mean.

They are incantations.

Incantations?

Magic. Very powerful,

but the shield not important.

Of course the shield is
important, uncle.

Everybody I meet today
wants the shield.

No, shield not important.

The shield.

Uncle?

Uncle?!

Uncle!

Uncle? Uncle?!

Your uncle is fine for
now, Mr. chan,

but every hour I do not
possess the shield...

Yes, yes, I understand.

I will bring it.
I will tell no one.

A favor, between friends.
Watch my niece.

Jackie, where are you...

Please, don't ask questions.

All right, young lady...

Ok, where would uncle
hide the shield?

Hmm.

Hi! Aah!

How did you...

The stairs.

Well,
take these stairs to your room.

Oh, let me help.

Uncle is my uncle, too...
I think.

Fine. Help find the shield.

Yeeah!

Yeow!

This it?

Yes!

I must be getting that wisdom

you were talking about.

Thank you.

Now go to your room.

Jade: Uncle's up there, huh?

You speak English?

You know I do.

So what part of
"go to your room"

do you not understand?

Aww.

Stay here,

or I'll put you on
the first flight

back to Hong Kong.

Scout's honor.

Tch, like I'm a scout.

(Elevator dings)

The shield.

Why does your employer want it?

That is not your concern.

Okey-dokey, you want the shield,

catch!

Fool.
Say sayonara to your uncle!

Huh?

Arrgh!

I bet I run faster than you.

Come and get it?

Aah!

Hurry, uncle!

Ai-ah.

(Elevator music playing)

Yaah!

Jackie!

Mine!

Oof! Oof!

The shield.

Yaah!

(Groans)

Heh heh.

(Groans)

(Helicopter)

(Over loudspeaker) Honest!
It's a research position.

Jackie,
I never meant for your family

to get involved in this.

It's not your fault.

The dark hand was
after the shield.

Ow!

I told you!

Shield not important.

The talisman in the
center of the shield is.

That is where the magic lies.

Uh, don't you worry.
We'll be sure to look into that

once we. reclaim the
talisman from the dark hand.

Don't need to.

Admit it.

I'm getting wise.

Master.

Shendu and valmont: Tohru.

What?

One more thing.

See the markings?

Sign of the rooster,
from the Chinese zodiac.

There are 11 more talismans
where that came from.

And my gut tells me the
dark hand's after them, too.

You onboard, Jackie?

Uh... Jade: Absolutely.

Child: Hey, Jackie,
what inspired you to make this TV show?

When I was young,
I always like cartoon.

I really hoped someday I want
to be a cartoon character.

Cartoon can do all kind things
I cannot do in my real life.

After so many, so many,
so many years later,

the people,
the children still can remember me.

Today my dream come true.

I love cartoon.
