Speed Racer (1967–1968): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Great Plan: Part 2 - full transcript

Speed continues his race, and the robbers continue their attempts to capture Speed.

Here he comes,
here comes Speed Racer

He's a demon on wheels

He's a demon and he's gonna
be chasing after someone

He's gaining on you
so you better look alive

He's busy revving up
the powerful Mach 5

And when the odds
are against him

And there's dangerous
work to do

You bet your life Speed Racer
will see it through

Go, Speed Racer
Go, Speed Racer

Go, Speed Racer, go!

He's off and flying as he
guns the car around the track?



He's jamming down the pedal
like he's never coming back

Adventure's waiting
just ahead

Go, Speed Racer
Go, Speed Racer

Go, Speed Racer, go!

[SPEED] These are the controls
of the most powerful

and amazing racing car
in the world, the Mach 5.

Control A releases powerful
jacks to boost the car,

so that Sparky, our
mechanic, can quickly

make any necessary
repairs or adjustments.

Control B: Press this button
and the Mach 5 sprouts

special grip tires for traction
over any kind of terrain.

At the same time,
5,000 horsepower is

distributed equally to each
wheel by auxiliary engines.

Control C: For use
when I have to



race over heavily
wooded terrain.

Powerful rotary
saws are protruded

from the front of the Mach 5

to slash and cut any
and all obstacles.

This is Control Button.

Which, when pressed,
releases a powerful deflector,

which seals the cockpit
into an air-conditioned,

bullet and crash-proof,
and water-tight chamber.

Inside it, I am completely
isolated and shielded.

E: The control for
special illumination.

Which can be traversed
singly or in tandem.

And which enables me
to see much further

and more clearly than
with ordinary headlights.

It's invaluable in some of
the weird and dangerous places

that I race the Mach 5.

[SPEED]
This is Control F, which I use

when the Mach 5 is underwater.

First, the cockpit
is supplied with oxygen.

Then, a periscope is raised to
scan the surface of the water.

Everything that is seen

is relayed down
to me by television.

[SPEED] Control G
releases a homing robot

from the front of the car.

The homing robot
can carry pictures

or tape recorded messages

to whomever and wherever
ll wanna send them.

The Mach 5 is the most complex
and ingenious car ever built--

A tribute to my
father's imagination,

genius, and technical skill.

The Mach 5 always was a great
car, but a couple of years ago,

Pops drew up the designs for
making it the car it now is.

Because certain men were
after those plans, he hid them

by drawing them in invisible
ink on the windshield

Sparky and I installed
on the Mach 5.

Pops needed money
to rebuild the car.

So, against his wishes, I
entered the Sword Mountain Race

to try to win the
$5,000 prize money.

However, Aceucey and
his men came after me

to try to get the
windshield with the plans.

[SPEED] They got rid of
some of the other racers,

and then came after me.

[SPEED]
Oh!

[THUG A]
What a daredevil!

[THUG B]
He made it though!

THUG Cl
Not for long.

[SPEED]
No sign of them.

Good. I guess they've given up.

Trixie, calling the Mach 5,
calling the Mach 5.

The designs are written on your
windshield in invisible ink.

I know, Trixie.on't worry,
I'll be careful.

But I'm going to
finish this race

and win the money
that Pops needs.

[TRIXIE]
But, Speed, those men

aren't going to
give up so easily.

They'll stop at nothing
to get those designs,

and if they don't get them,

they'll make sure
no one else does

by getting rid of you
and the Mach 5.

Stop being such
a worrier, Trixie.

I'll be all right.

So long. See ya later.

[TRIXIE] He's in danger.
Doesn't he know it?

[BOTH]
Whee!

With Speed at the wheel,
how can we lose the race?

He'll win.

[BOTH yelp]

Ahh!

[CHIM CHIM gibbers]

I've got to pass that car!

[DUGGERY]
Uh-oh! The Mach 5!

But Speed's not going to win
this race, not if I can help it.

[SPEED]
I'll try to pass.

[SPRITLE groans]

I'll be glad when Speed gets
on this big road again.

This race is murder!

[SPEED]
Hm?!

Here comes Aceucey
and his gang.

[tires screech]

Isn't there any way
to avoid them?

[DUGGERY] Well, there's a
road that cuts to the left.

He'll never make it.

[THUG A]
Lucky for us, he took that way.

In a few minutes, he'll be
a sitting duck. Let's go!

[THUG A] I don't mind somebody's
dust, but this is ridiculous!

[engines revving]

[SPRITLE]
This doesn't look good!

Speed better do
something while he can.

[gasps]

[gasps]

Stop firing, you stonehead.o
you wanna smash that windshield?

[THUGS gasp]

[screams]

--[THUG C] Bombs!
--[tires screech]

[tires screeching]

[THUG]
Get down!

[THUG E]
Huh?

It was just a trick!

They were only smoke flares.

I'm taking this shortcut.

It'll keep me away from
Speed and those other guys.

He's headed for the volcanoes!

He'll smash up
down in that area.

[THUGS screaming]

[tires screech]

Most of them are
lost in the smoke.

Quick, gimme the gun.

[ACE]
I'll take care of this.

[cackles]

[ACE snickers]

That does it.

That's for droppin'
those smoke bombs on us.

We're even.

--[THUG F] Hey, Ace!
--[ACE] Huh?

[THUG F]
Look!

I've always wanted to find out
what parachute jumping is like.

[gasps]

Duggery! Get out of here!

Mind your own business!

[DUGGERY]
Hey!

[gasps]

[SPEED]
Duggery!

[SPEED]
Duggery, where are you?

Duggery!

Duggery!

Dug-- Ahh!

[screams]

[DUGGERY] Looks as if...
neither one of us is...

...going to win
those 5,000 bucks.

We'll be lucky if we get out of
this volcano with our skins!

[DUGGERY groans]

[SPEED]
If he hadn't been so muleheaded,

and if I hadn't
tried to save him,

ll wouldn't be down here.

I might be able to
get out, but-- No.

No, I can't leave
him trapped there.

I've got to help him.

[DUGGERY grunting]

[DUGGERY]
The rock's giving way!

[gasps]

[SPEED]
Hang on, I'm coming!

Here,uggery. I'll try
to pull you out of there.

Hang onto my hand!

[gasps]

[DUGGERY screams]

[BOTH grunting]

Climb!

[DUGGERY grunting]

[SPEED]
Come on!

[DUGGERY grunting]

[DUGGERY screams]

[BOTH grunting]

[SPEED] Come on, maybe--
Maybe we can make it.

[BOTH grunting]

[BOTH scream]

[BOTH grunting]

BOTH gasp)

[DUGGERY]
I'm gonna jump!

Try to follow me!

[BOTH grunting, panting]

[BOTH sigh]

The only way we'll be able
to get out of this area

is if we both use the Mach 5.

[ACE]
This is the car.

And written in invisible
ink on the windshield

are the plans we want.

Try to stop us and it'll
be too bad for her.

We're takin' the Mach 5.

How did you get here?!

It's easy.

When they shot the plane,

I jumped out and came
down by parachute.

[ACE]
Aah...

We've got this glass now,
so we can get rid of them.

We don't want anybody finding
out how we got these plans.

[THUG B]
Hey, you! Hold it!

[DUGGERY]
Huh?

I have nothing to do
with this whole thing.

I just wanna get
back in the race.

So long!

[ACE]
Stop him!

[DUGGERY groans]

[DUGGERY]
They missed!

But they're going
to pay for that.

Okay, men, get rid of 'em.

[gasps]

[THUG G groans]

[THUGS groan]

Who's throwing rocks?
Come outta there!

[groans]

Now's our chance!

[THUGS gasping]

[THUGS groaning]

[SPRITLE, CHIM CHIM giggle]

[BOTH growl]

[BOTH growl]

[BOTH growl]

[CHIM CHIM gibbers]

[gasps]

Our plan almost worked.

We got nearly all of 'em.

But now, we better
think of something else.

[THUG H screams]

[THUG H groans]

[THUG H]
Come back here, you brat!

Wait till I get my mitts on you!

[SPRITLE, CHIM CHIM giggle]

[THUG H groans]

[THUG H]
Come back here!

[SPRITLE]
Hurry, Chim Chim!

[THUG H]
Come back here!

Huh, where'd they go?

[THUG H groans]

One more for us!

[SPEEgrunts]

[gasps]

[screams]

[SPRITLE] Hurray foruggery!
Hurray foruggery!

[THUG H] You kids are gonna
get it as soon as I get you!

Huh, where'd they go?

[SPRITLE]
Now!

[THUG H cries]

[THUG H yelps]

Makes two for our side!

--[SPEEgrunting]
--[THUGS groaning]

--[alarm sounds]
--Huh?

--[alarm sounds]
--[gasps]

--[alarm sounding]
--[THUGS gasp]

The fuzz! Let's get outta here!

[TRIXIE gasps, grunts]

[TRIXIE]
Oh, Speed! Are you all right?

[SPEED]
Uh-huh.

Look! The Mach 5!

Huh?!

I'm taking that car!

[THUG 1]
Oh yeah?!

[THUG I groans]

Ha, ha! Now I've got the
fastest car in the universe!

You'll never catch me now!

What kind of cheap car is this?!

It doesn't move fast enough
to catch the Mach 5!

This car's got everything,
including plans

on the windshield for
an even better engine!

[ACE cackles]

[screams]

How do I work this car?

[SPEED] I've caught up with him.
But how do I get him to stop?

[grunts]

[screams]

[BOTH grunting]

[BOTH grunting]

[groans, screams]

[tires screech]

[sighs]

[gasps]

You're a tough kid, but you're
no match for Aceucey.

[ACE cackles]

[ACE] Go ahead, Speed!
Keep backin' up,

right off that cliff!

[SPEED] I can't let
him get Pops' designs

written on that
windshield; I can't!

[grunts]

[gasps]

[ACE]
You smashed the designs!

What did ya do that for, huh?!

Okay, kid...

[grunts]

[groans]

[SPEEgrunts]

[ACE screams]

[thud]

I'd better get back into
the race, and fast!

[SPRITLE]
Go, Speed, go!

[TRIXIE]
Go!

You've got to win
the money, Speed!

[ANNOUNCER] The leading cars
are fast approaching the finish

of the Sword Mountain Race!

In just seconds, you'll see
them rounding the final curve.

Stand by!

The first car coming
down the home stretch

is car number 2,
driven by Skulluggery!

And coming up fast...

...is the Mach 5,

--driven by Speed Racer!
--[POPS gasps]

He's all right!
Speed's all right!

The windshield's been smashed!

[ANNOUNCER]
The Mach 5 wins!

I've won the money.

I won it.

[GROUP cheering]

[ANNOUNCER]
Ladies and gentlemen,

the official winner
is Speed Rac-- Uh...

Just a moment.

Some bad news has
just been handed to me.

Due to the tactics
and interference

of a group of cars
not officially entered,

the results of the race
have been cancelled!

There is no winner and
no losers! I'm sorry, folks,

but you'll just have to
forget the whole thing!

And I was counting
on that money!

[DUGGERY chuckles]

Too bad! That was
tough luck, Speed.

Gee, I'm sorry, Pops. But if I
hadn't smashed the windshield,

those men would've gotten your
designs for the new Mach 5!

I'm not saying
a word about that.

Huh?!

[POPS chuckles]

I'm glad you broke it to
protect the designs, Speed,

because I've got them
right up here in my head.

Gee, that's great, Pops!

[laughs]

You're a very clever
man, Mr. Racer!

And some of it's
rubbed off on me! Right?

[POPS]
Hm... Well, Spritle, I hope so.

Il intend to be the winner
of the next race I'm in.

You can count on it!

[POPS] That's the way I like
to hear you talk, Speed.

The next race you're in--
Hey! Wait just a minute!

BOTH gasp)

Who gave you permission
to be a racer, huh?!

It's very difficult
to be a racer.

It takes training
and experience!

Don't think that
because you won today,

you've already become
a professional racer!

[SPEED] That's enough
lecture for now, Pops.

--[POPS] Huh?!
--[SPEED] See ya later!

[POPS]
Speed!

[GROUP laughing]

Speed, you come back here!
