Jackie Chan Adventures (2000–2005): Season 4, Episode 8 - The Shadow Eaters - full transcript

The card with the mask removal ingredient is lost. Hak Foo ends up with the Oni mask, and summons his shadowkhan, a tiny army that feeds on human shadows.

Jackie: If the Hana
fuda cards are correct,

then the next oni mask...

Has gotta be... There!

Where is card indicating
mask removal ingredient?

Right here, unc. Whoop...

Aiyaa!

(All gasp)

Whew!

Snatched from the
jaws of defeat.

Whoa!

Well, at least you
guys got a good look



at the ingredient on the card...
Right?

Heh heh.

No removal ingredient?
No problem.

We just make mega-sure

no one wears the mask this time.
Right?

(Gasp)

Dark magic resides here.

Quickly,
we must find mask before...

Hey, wait a sec.

I've seen this place... On TV!

We're in miss Kimber's
psychic shack.

Miss who's psychic what?

Miss Kimber,
from the psychic hot line.

Duh.



Pfft!

No one can see future.

All psychics are...

Phonies? Ha ha ha ha ha.

I knew you was gonna say that.

Whoa! She's good!

A cheap trick.

Fortune teller saw us approach.

Hmm. But she's very
skilled dollmaker.

You are here for the mask, hmm?

(Gasp) How do you know this?

The boy's not too quick
on the uptake, huh?

I'm psychic, hon.

Ho ho ho.

Then I guess you knew
we'd be taking it.

Thank you.

Hmm.

The stars don't say you take
it, sugar.

He does.

Jackie, Jade: Hak foo?

(Scoffs) Stars do not talk.

Hak foo: So that is the mask...

Destined for my face.

Jackie, take mask!

I knew he was going to say
that, too.

Whoa!

Whoo! Aah! Oh!

Oh, sorry. Aah!

Jade: Faster,
Jackie, he's gaining!

Jade! This is...

Dangerous?

Hey, I must be psychic.

And what do you think
you're whipping up, sugar?

If you can truly see future,

you would know uncle is
devising removal spell

in case mask is worn by hak foo.

Only... Uncle must learn

of missing key ingredient.

(Gasp) You hear that?

The stars are talking.

And they say you can
have the answer you seek

revealed by yours truly
for only 9.95 a minute.

(Gasp) You are fraud...

And money grubber!

Unh! Unh!

Whoa!

All hands on deck!

Hyah!

Unh! Unh!

Whoa!

Uhh!

Hyah!

Aah! Ooh!

Uh, not too much off the
top, please.

Let him go!

Uh, Jade, who is steering?

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

And here is prediction for you:

I see piece of uncle
in your future!

Whenever you're done, hon,

you're gonna want to
scooch a tad to the left.

(Boat approaching)

Whoa! Aah! Whoa!

Unh! Oh!

Whoa! Unh!

Mud slide!

(Groaning)

Jade, where is the mask?

At last!

Uh... Found it.

And now, chans,

prepare to meet
the fiercest tribe

of shadowkhan yet...

Mine.

Demon summons ninja army!

(Both gasp)

They... they are...

They are so...

Cute!

(Growling)

Demon compensates for
inferior ninja army!

Unh! Ooh!

Uhh! Uh!

No! Aah!

Jackie, grab on!

Jackie!

I will not see you
later, alligator.

(Grumbling)

little shrimps!

Jackie?

(Gasping for air)

Ah, Jackie,

you are trying to find card

with mask removal ingredient?

No, uncle.

I am trying not to
become alligator bait!

Well,
you must learn to multi-task.

Now come. We must research
mask removal ingre...

Ah... Teeny tiny shadowkhan.

Mmm... Milk and...

Uncle: Tohru! Research!

Crumbs.

Oh... I hope you do not mind

if we roll out the futons.

Jade: Good night.

This is monumental.

Never before have we
captured a shadowkhan.

It is... So cute!

Do not be deceived
by appearances.

Uncle will bring
Japanese reference book

so you can get busy.

Who knows what close study
of our captive may uncover.

(Sighs) Yes, sensei.

(Glass jar rattles)

Cookie-eating shadowkhan.

Huh?

My shadow!

Ohh...

Sensei.

One more thing.

Keep blowfish handy.

Cannot be too careful with...

(thud)

(Gasp) Ooh.

(Tohru snoring)

(Glass jar clinks)

(Gasp)

(Growling)

Aiyaaa!

(Snarling)

(Gasp)

Aah!

Uncle!

(Growling)

(Growling)

Jackie, fire blowfish!

Uncle is waiting!

Jade: I got it!

Fish fry!

Ooh!

Tohru is in very deep sleep.

Shadows contain our yin...

One half of our chi.

Clearly this shadowkhan
tribe grows stronger

by feeding upon human shadows.

And without this part
of our life force,

we are doomed to
a state of limbo.

Well, how can we get
tohru's shadow back?

We must end hak foo's
control over his shadowkhan,

but we cannot
remove mask from him

without spell ingredient.

Hmph! Stupid gator!

And without tohru to
translate Japanese,

learning spell ingredient
will be difficult.

Well, until you do,

that shadow eater is out there.

We must find it before
it harms anyone else.

Ninja hunt.

Do not be foolish.

Your own shadows are at risk.

T'ch.

If the li'l freaks are hungry,

they can eat this! Hyah!

Jade: Oops.

Aaah!

The way to keep shadow eaters

from eating shadow

is to not cast one.

Now, exhale and...

Attack!

Hak foo: Fight like warriors!

Eye of the tiger!
Eye of the tiger!

How charming.

Grr! Show master
tarakudo your war faces!

Ooh. If I had a spine,

it would be tingling.

Grr!

Hak foo,
all shadowkhan are deadly.

You just need to be
aware of their strengths.

You call these strong?

I see a demonstration
is in order.

Chow: Aah!

Hello!

Kinda in the middle
of something here!

Ho ho ho.

Where'd you get the mini-'Khan?

Grrrrr!

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh. Wait for it.

(Whistles)

Tarakudo: Uh, fellas?

Chow: Ha!
Hey, hak, are these guys

on loan from Santa?

Ha ha ha!

Huh?

Hey, how... what are you...

(gasp)

Ohh. Uhh.

Growing boys need
their nutrients.

And an entire city of shadows

awaits my army!

Uncle: Ninja-suction unit?

Check.

Chi-powered
night-vision goggles?

Check.

Hand-held dark chi detector?

Check.

And,
in case back-up is needed...

Check!

Base potion,
in the event uncle discovers

missing ingredient
for removal spell.

(Sigh) Uncle will remain here

armed with Japanese-to-Chinese
dictionary.

Let's bring tohru
back from dreamland.

(Crackling)

We found tohru's shadow eater.

More like a new batch
of shadow eaters.

Run!

(Gasp)

Huh? (Crackles)

Ooh! Ooh!

Bwaaa! Whoa. Ninja swarm.

Don't worry, Jackie.
No shadow, no lunch.

Uhh!

Aah! Ohh!

You've been hosed.

(Sigh) Thank you, Jade.

"Substitute mask removal
ingredient is often

shoelace of giraffe."

Aiyaaa!

Giraffes do not wear shoes!

Jade chan, pest control.

Huh!

Huh?

My bag is full.

I'm betting this little guy

will lead us to the big one

who munched tohru's shadow.

Oh! Jade?

Uh...

Found our boy.

And he has been
snacking between meals.

Ohh! Ohh!

(Growling)

I thought you were gator
food, chan.

Time to hand over
tohru's shadow.

Huh?

Jackie, he's too big!

Jade, run!

Run after tiny, right!

And stay out of the light!

Uh, Jackie...

That may be a problem.

Good morning, chan...

And good night.

Bear feeds on honey!

Uhh!

Uhh! Whaa!

Where is that removal
spell, uncle?

(Sighs)

Japanese translation is
not going well, tohru.

Unless ingredient we seek is

"lobster wearing
corduroy pants."

(Softly) Aiyaaa.

Hmm?

(Gasp) You!

Looks like you in need of
some good fortune, sugar.

Who says uncle needs fortune?!

Hmm?

Phone me now, and we can fix
whatever is ailing you...

Together.

Pfft! If uncle wanted quack,

he would phone take-out
for Peking duck!

Only I have the
answers you seek.

Ohhh!

Oh!

Ooh!

Imagine, chan,

an army of these creatures,

obeying my every command!

Huh! Aah!

Come on out, tiny.

Don't you want to
party with your pals?

Whoa!

Unh!

Grrrr!

(Click click)

There's more than one
way to skin a ninja!

Gone fishin'.

(Blows)

(Sigh)

For you, my apprentice.

(Ring)

Welcome to miss Kimber's
psychic hotline,

where I reveal what
the stars tell.

Uncle needs helps finding
mask-removal ingredient

and for you to never
speak of this to anyone!

Yes. Yes. I see.

And it's high time you
pursued your true passion.

(Gasp)

Oil painting?!

That's right.

'Cause the stars say

uncle needs to take
time out for uncle.

(Gasp)

It is like you have
window into uncle's soul.

Here, tiny!

(Kissy sounds)

Here, boy. Come on.
Where are you?

(Rumbling)

Oh, boy.

You may have survived a
gator, chan,

but how about a land shark?!

(Sniffing)

Grrr!
Enough with the shadow puppets!

Rrrr! Oh!

It's chow time.

(Distant pounding and shaking)

Huh! Uh!

Jackie,
I think tiny had a big breakfast.

(Roar)

Now that's what
I call a warrior!

(Cell phone rings)

Uncle?

Jackie, if psychic speaks truth,

there is good chance uncle
will be taking unexpected trip.

Oh, the mask-removal
ingredient is fish.

Oh! Uncle, we are about to
be swallowed by a whale!

Where are we supposed
to find a fish

in the middle of downtown?!

Duh!

Hit it, unc!

Uncle,
on phone: Dokeru kimen yaaku.

Dokeru kimen yaaku.

Uhh!

(Struggling)

Whoa!

Aah!

Oof!

Ohhh!

Jade: Think one of
those belongs to tohru?

Jackie, all is right again.

(Groan)

Sensei?

Aiyaaa!

Who told you to move, tohru?

What... What is that?

Oil painting.

Uncle must learn to
take time out for uncle.

If you could have a
superpower, what would it be?

If I have superpower,

I can stop everything,
like, "freeze!"

Then, after I fix
everything, "continue."

Yeah, like tornado
coming, I can, "freeze."

Tell people, "run away."

"Ok, keep coming."

And, yes, I'd really like
to have this kind of power.
