[barking continues]

[intense music]

[cellphone ringing]

[grunts]

I got her!

[dog barking]

[grunts]



I had her.

Where'd she go?

[screaming]

[upbeat jazz music]

[ship horn blowing]

- Goodbye!
- So long.

Have a nice time.

Well guys, New Orleans was
supposed to be the best place

to see the lunar eclipse.

Sure we're not going
with them?

Yeah, this fog doesn't lift
by tomorrow night.

Well, there's still much
to see here.

And I've got the perfect way
to get around.

Ah! I can't believe your dad
let you bring that thing.



- Ha-ha, jealous?
- Yeah, right.

[theme music]

Come on, Hadj. Why don't
we let "sky-boy" hover back

to Bourbon street?

Fine. We'll see who gets
to the hotel first.

(male #1)
'There she is!'

Stop her!

[grunts]

Ah!

Do not interfere, boy.

- Out of my way.
- Hey!

No!

End it, now!

[gun clicking]

(Hadji)
'No!'

Hyiah!

[grunting]

[bullet ricochets]

I thought I heard gunshots.

[grunts]

[sword clanging]

[siren wailing]

[wailing continues]

You-you saved my life.

Oh, it was nothing.

Beautiful stone.

It is from my native
Bangalore.

(Jonny)
'Ahem.'

Oh, forgive my rudeness.

These are my friends
Jonny Quest, Jessie Bannon..

...and I am Hadji.

- I am Elise Lenoir.
- Hi.

- Jessie.
- We already met.

Now what was that all about?

[car approaching]

Miss Lenoir,
is everything okay?

We got a report of gunshots.

Muggers, sergeant.

Fortunately, Hadji came along
with his friends.

Muggers? With a French accent
and a sword cane?

[laughing]

This is N'Orleans, miss.

Anything's possible,
especially at night.

Now y'all should be gettin'
on home. Hop in, y'all.

Wait! I have a car.

Then Hadji can take me home.

- It would be my pleasure.
- Hey!

We can ride back
in the prowl car.

Unless you want to
go tandem on my hoverboard.

Prowl car.

Her mother's one of the
wealthiest widows in N'Orleans.

Adopted Miss Lenoir
six months ago.

[scoffs]
Some guys have all the luck.

[dramatic music]

Ah! Life today is nothing
like the old days, Hadji.

As if you would know
about the old days, Elise.

[dramatic music continues]

[eerie music]

- Is that your mother?
- Yes. Mrs. Adrian.

- I must go.
- W-will I see you again?

- Would you like that, Hadji?
- I would. Very much.

Tomorrow, then.

Thank you, Andrew.

[engine revving]

Arnaud has found me.

- I was almost killed tonight.
- Killed?

- So close to the eclipse.
- Oh, what an awful thing!

It does not matter.
I have found what I need.

Everything is under control.

[birds chirping]

Hey, wait!

I must meet Elise
in Garden District Park.

She wants to see me again.

Wow! I guess you made quite
an impression last night, buddy.

Oh, she is so beautiful.

[engine revving]

But we were supposed to tour
the old cemeteries.

Why are you so upset?

Because she's rich and beautiful
or because she likes Hadji?

There's just something
strange about her.

- I think I'll take a stroll.
- Fine.

I think I'll go riverboarding.

[bells clanging]

Tell me about Bangalore, Hadji.

- Is it beautiful there?
- Oh, yes.

But it is also
very beautiful here.

Flatterer.

Any beauty I might possess
pales besides that.

Ah! It is a precious heirloom,
given to me by my mother Neela.

(Hadji)
'I would never part with it.'

But would you
give it to me, Hadji?

[beaming]

Anything you want.
It is yours, Elise.

Because I am like no girl
you have ever met before?

Yes, because you are like
no girl I have ever met before.

Oh, men are so pathetic.

It's like he has
no brain of his own.

[melodious music]

[eerie music]

[theme music]

[helicopter whirring]

[beeping]

Just like the others, doc.

All male victims,
totally drained.

'Almost mummified.'

'That makes seven
in six months.'

[sniffing]

Poor guy never even
got a shot off.

Wow! That looks like the kind
of gun I knocked into the river.

Get a load of this, captain.

'Silver bullets!'

[beeping]

[theme music]

Silver!

For a mugger,
he sure uses expensive ammo.

[car approaching]

We will meet again
soon, Hadji.

Until then, I will keep you
in my thoughts.

And I will keep you in mine.

[intense music]

This is all too weird.

[bike revving]

[dramatic music]

We're being followed.

Arnaud's man. He took my bait.

Let him come.

- And Arnaud's car?
- I took care of it.

[liquid dripping]

[Jessie screams]

[gasps]

[wheels screeching]

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

(Jessie)
'He's gone.'

Why is this Hadji
any different than the others?

Because he can bring me
what I need.

And this will ensure
he does my bidding.

Do not be jealous, Andrew.
It has not become yon.

As long as I remain here,
you will be my faithful servant.

[laughing]

Although in Bangalore,
I might have hundreds.

Dear, I believe
someone is outside.

Why don't you make dinner,
mother? I'll take care of him.

Yes, I think
I'll make dinner, Elise.

Let me freshen up a little.

[eerie music]

(Jessie)
'So you don't think it's weird
that Hadji handed over'

his family heirloom
to a complete stranger.

But a beautiful stranger.
Now face it, Jess, he's in love.

You know, I think
the fog's lifting.

Hey, we might still
get a shot at the eclipse.

What about the guys
with the silver bullets?

- Why were they chasing--
- Jess, Elise is no werewolf.

Although, she did look
pretty spectacular

under that full moon
last night.

Uh, men!

Well, I still wanna talk
some sense into Hadji.

I'll go see
if he's back in his room.

I'll get ready
for the eclipse.

Jessie, I have wonderful news.

Elise has invited us
to watch the eclipse with her.

- Hadji, you look--
- So, you approve.

Ah! I have never been happier.

And I want you to share it
with me. Come.

What about Jonny?

I call him from downstairs.

He doesn't mind.

[dramatic music]

[engine cranking]

Hey! Where are they going?

[theme music]

[Jonny screams]

[neighing]

[grunts]

You?

[intense music]

- Into the car!
- Now listen!

No, you listen.

My name is Arnaud and your
friend is in terrible danger.

- Hadji?
- No, the girl.

Hadji, you haven't heard
a word I've said.

You must get to know Elise.

After tonight
you will feel differently.

I don't think one night
is gonna make me change my mind.

You will see.

[engine revving]

The eclipse has now started, one
of my men is watching the house.

She is safe for the moment.

Safe? Safe from who?

- The demon, Elise Lenoir.
- Elise?

Hello, Perje.

All's quiet, Arnaud. Too quiet.

'The girl and boy
are on their way.'

'Don't let them
enter the house.'

Affirmative.

'Ah! Uh!'

Oh, no!

Perje, answer me!

[intense music]

[engine revving]

I still can't believe that--

No one ever does.

But she is a demon, who drains
the life essence of others

to sustain her youth.

And all those bodies
the police found?

Were merely to sustain her
beauty until tonight's eclipse..

...when a new victim must come
of her own free will.

I tried to show this to your
friend today, but she ran away.

Do you know who this is?

It looks kind of like Elise.

'It was taken 50 years ago.'

Fifty years?

My sister, Celeste.

I was only sixteen.

It was during an eclipse in Lyon

the creature
cast her spell on me.

And it was I who led Celeste
to the chateau

where the creature stole
my sister's youth and her face.

I have been
hunting her ever since.

And now she's hunting Jessie.

Yes, it is her life force
which will rejuvenate

the creature
for another 50 years.

Unless we stop her.

(Arnaud)
'She can hypnotize those around
her into doing her bidding.'

'Like servants,
or the woman who adopted her.'

Or even my best friend.

[alarm beeping]

Hadji, Jessie.
Glad you could come.

My mother has prepared a light
pre-eclipse supper for us.

Nothing fancy, mind you.

- More shrimp creole?
- Oh, no thanks.

I've had quiet enough.

Hadji told me he would like me
to meet his mother.

And if she approved--

If she approved, perhaps
Elise and I might be betrothed.

Betrothed?

Bangalore sounds like
a very comfortable place

to spend the next 50 years.

The eclipse has begun.

Let us go up
to the conservatory.

Somebody cut your fuel line.

- How far is it from here?
- Another mile or so.

But we're running out of time.

Ever ride a hoverboard?

You do not know how long
I have waited for this night.

Andrew, show Jessie to her seat.

My pleasure.

Hey, back off!

Hadji!

Jessie!

You keep out of this.

[grunts]

Andrew, it is not the time.
Let him go.

What do you need him for now?
You've got the girl.

You just want to replace me.

Maybe you're right.
Maybe I want to see India.

Now let him go!

Do something! Help me!

She can do nothing.
She is under my power.

- Go to your room, mother!
- Yes, dear.

Call me if you need anything.

Everything I need is right here.

[glass shattering]

- Jessie, where are you?
- 'Help!'

Hang on!

Sorry, I'm not looking my best.

- Huh!
- Ow!

Still the persistent teenager
from Lyon, eh, Arnaud?

But now you are old.

Why try to hurt me?

Do I not have the face
of your own sister?

Your face is hers,
but your soul is a demons'.

Ah!

[grunting]

[metal clanging]

[grunts]

[grunting]

[grunting]

Ah!

Get the girl away,
until the eclipse ends.

[triumphant music]

[metal clanging]

Unhand her, now!

Jonny!

Snap out of it!
Your friends need your help.

What must I do?

This might stop her,
if it is not too late.

Go!

The eclipse is almost over.

Jonny!

No!

[Jessie screaming]

[crackling]

[demon screaming]

Ah!

[Jonny screaming]

[demon laughing]

Let my aim be true!

[demons screaming]

[screaming]
Oh, no!

[gasping]

Now, Celeste,
you may finally rest in peace.

[dramatic music]

[man laughing]

Now, even for N'Orleans,
that's quite a story.

But Mrs. Adrian confirmed it.

Says she's been in a trance
for six months.

Heck, maybe, we were all
under that girl's spell.

- You kids need a lift back?
- No!

No, officer.
We are fine.

Are you sure,
you're okay?

Yes, it is just, I will never
meet a girl like her again.

- I hope.
- Yeah.

Pretty scary.

(Jonny)
'Eh, at least we got a great
view of the eclipse.'

(Iris the computer)
'Welcome to Quest World.
Please pay attention.'

'The sine wave
is a periodic oscillation'

'that has the same
geometric representation'

'as a sine function.'

(Jonny)
'Yeah, whatever Iris.'

[upbeat music]

'At least it's good
for some trashing.'

(Iris the computer)
'You are not paying attention.'

'Wipe out.'

'Thank you for surfing
Quest World.'
