(pilot# 1)
'Denver tower,
this is Airforce One.'

'Current ETA has us
ground in 23 minutes.'

(man on radio)
'Copy that, Airforce One.'

'We've got the red carpet out
and the press are standing by.'

[instrumental music]

I've been against biological
weapons since my congress days.

I'm not about to do a one eighty
on bio-chemical research now.

But, sir, every country's
developing bio-chemical weapons.

We won't be
one of them.



At least not on my watch.

Denver,
this is Airforce One.

We're taking her up
to flight level 3-3-0.

(man on radio)
'Roger that, Airforce One.'

'We'll keep the light
on for you.'

beep beep beep

Ah!

What the..

Who set the autopilot?

Not me.

[screaming]

Airforce One to Denver.

We've got
a serious problem here.

(pilot# 2)
'The autopilot is engaged.'



[dramatic music]

(pilot# 1)
'We're losing air speed.'

tick tick tick

thud

[screaming]

(pilot# 1)
'Mayday! Mayday!'

'We have no control
over the aircraft.'

beep beep beep

(pilot# 1)
'The plane is flying itself.
I repeat, mayday!'

(both)
Aaahh!

whoosh

[thunder rumbling]

Get Lowry Air Base
on the horn.

Have them scramble
every plane they've got.

We just lost Airforce One.

We've just lost the President.

Wow,
nice move, hot shot.

Well, I thought you should
follow my lead for a while.

Come on, let's take out
that munitions dump.

You got it, Jess.

whoosh

bang

(Jessie)
'Bulls-eye!'

[instrumental music]

[intense music]

beep beep

clink clank clink

I'll be in my labratory
if anybody needs me.

Have you seen Hadji
this morning?

All three of those kids
were up at the crack of dawn.

They've been hooked
on that flight stimulator game

for three days straight.

Well, if he surfaces
let him know

he's needed for the caliberation
test this afternoon.

crash

What?

[intense music]

whomp

ratatatat

Drop it, Bannon.

Something's going on outside.

'I'm shutting the system down.'

What's up Hadj?

I heard an explosion.

tocotocotoco

Jess, check the
security monitors.

You guys came all this way
for a cup of coffee?

Kill the jokes,
wise guy.

This is Hinkle, we got
the suspects in custody.

Suspects?

Do you mind telling me
what's going on here?

Dr. Benton Quest
and Roger Bannon..

...you're under arrest.

On what charge?

The charge, kidnapping the
president of the United States.

(Hinkle)
Airforce One
was highjacked last night.

(Hinkle)
We traced the satellite uplink
to your computer system here.

I've been watching you,
Quest.

Bleeding heart librals like you
are making this country weak.

Now, you've
gone too far.

Get 'em out of here.

They think dad
kidnapped the President.

(Jonny)
'They've got to be kidding.'

(Jessie)
'We'll go out there and tell 'em
it's a big mistake.'

(Hadji)
'I don't think
they'd listen.'

(Jonny)
'No, Hadji's right.'

'We gotta find out who's
really behind the kidnapping'

'to save dad and Race.'

Well, we sure won't be
much use behind bars.

(Jessie)
'We gotta move, now.'

crash

[dramatic music]

(Hinkle)
'Search the entire
compound again.'

I don't want excuses,
lieutenant.

I want those kids.

[sighing]

That was too close.

Come on!

We can follow the beach
into town.

(Hinkle)
'Alright, Quest.
This your last chance.'

'Where have you
hidden the President?'

Hinkle, I've told you, I don't
know what your talking about.

Well, maybe this
will refresh your memory.

(Hinkle)
'We pulled it from your own
security camera system.'

I've taken control
of Airforce One.

Once your men
kidnap the President

I'll demand a halt on all
biochemical warfare research.

As well as complete
nuclear disarmament.

Yeah, we'll show those right
wing war hawks a thing or two.

That's a ludacris forgery.

The voice patterns
are a perfect match.

If I could have a computer,
I can prove it.

You're getting nothing.

Not even a batroom break
untill you start talking.

Let me call
Commander Bennett.

He'll straighten this out.

Bennett's been
reassighned to...Antartica.

All your cronies were ousted
in the last election, Bannon.

'You gotta deal with me.'

[whimpering]

Got it. I'm hooked
into our computer files.

Look at this.

Somebody hacked our systems
and satellite uplinks

through Quest World
to make those phoney tapes.

There is only one man
capable of such a thing.

Jeremiah Surd.

Man, am I getting
tired of this guy.

[instrumental music]

(Julia)
'Jeremiah, our guest is awake.'

Where am I?

What've you
done to my staff?

We have them sedated.

(Surd)
'Oh, of course,
they won't live.'

'But they won't suffer.'

That's an honour
I've reserved strictly for you.

(Surd)
'You may remember, 20 years ago
I invented a unique nerve gas.'

'You were a young gung-ho
congressman then..'

'...who shut down my funding.'

Starting a chain of events,
leaving me as I am now.

(Surd)
A brain of a genius,
trapped in a useless shell.

Well, now that you've
gained the ultimate office

I felt the need to make
a...political statement.

Namely your death.

But for your last
18 hours alive

I've devised a little
private hell for you.

'Just incase the torments
of your next life'

'are not enough to suit
my sense of justice.'

whoosh

(Surd)
'You see, through virtual
reality you'll live as I have.'

'The torment of being
trapped in a powerless body.'

'The horror of phantom pain,
the ridicule of prejudice.'

'I hope you enjoy your little
session in virtual reality.'

'It will be the very
last thing you ever experience!'

No!

If we're going
to locate Surd

I need more time to unscramble
his satelite uplinks.

We're like
sitting ducks out here.

[intense music]

[whimpers]

I hope your flee collar's
still working, boy.

Oh, I am sorry, miss,
but this area is closed.

(Jonny)
'If Surd used a back door
into our system'

'can't we do
the same to his?

(Jessie)
'If I'm lucky.'

Bingo!
I'm in Surd's database.

I'll try accessing all of his
Quest World logs for last night.

[intense music]

Where are
the dressing rooms?

Uh-uh, I'm afraid
this area is closed.

Nonsense!
I'll just be a minute.

No, no, no.
Please, wait.

Ahem.

Allow me.

We must go.

I just need
a few more seconds.

Got it!

Surd used a flight simulator

to control Airforce One
through the autopilot.

Looks like he landed
112 miles South

South West
of Salt Lake city, Utah.

click

Oh-oh.

click

[growling]

[whimpering]

(Jonny)
'Get it, boy.
Get it.'

Ah!

(female #1)
'Help me!
I'm being attacked.'

[fire alarm ringing]

Bandit.

[whistles]

arf-arf

Ah!

[tires screeching]

Tell me you didn't leave
the keys in the ignition?

But if we know
the location of the President

we should inform
the authorities.

Hadj, those guys
with the guns back there..

...they are
the authorities.

And what if Surd's playing
another of his little tricks?

(Jonny)
'That's exactly what
we're going to find out.'

So, now all we need
to do is get to Utah.

Huh, any ideas?

Well, I can get us
there in a few hours.

Yeah, right!
By magic?

The magic of plastic.

One of agents left his wallet
under the car seat.

Well, we can pay them
back later for the airfare.

(Jessie)
'Utah, here we come.'

Airforce One is fully
refuelled, Jeremiah.

And Lorenzo is making one
last check of our perimeter.

Excellent!

Once the President's little
soiree in Quest World is over

I'll fly the plane
far away from here.

(Jessie)
'Look at that.'

'The plane's exactly where
Surd's file said it would be.'

Okay. Now, we go tell
the good guys.

click

(Lorenzo)
'Not so fast, punks.'

You know, it would hurt
Dr. Surds feelings if you

came all this way
and didn't say hi.

(Surd)
Put them inside. Let them
die with the President.

- What about the mutt?
- Throw it in, too.

Aw, but he's so cute.

Boss, can't I keep him?

Lorenzo!

(Lorenzo)
'Ah, you punks got about uh,
20 minutes to live.'

Have a nice life.

[whimpering]

(Lorenzo)
'Everything's all set, boss.'

Good.

Now, for the finale.

(Surd)
'Julia, log me
into Quest World.'

Once I have
Airforce One off the ground

we can vanish
wihout a trace.

click click click

whirrrr

The engines are starting?

click click click

[pulsating]

screech

No!

[dramatic music]

(Jonny)
'Alright, Hadj.'

Thanks.

Now, lets see
who's flying this baby.

(Jessie)
The plane is flying itself.

Not quite.

Surd's controlling it
from Quest World again.

Aaaah!

But maybe this time,
we can stop him.

(Hadji)
'It is no use, Jonny.'

I cannot stop the release
of the nerve gas.

Ah.

Thank you, son.

No problem,
Mr. President.

Johnny, the nerve gas--

Sit tight, Hadj. Lets try
for one miracle at a time here.

I sure hope you know what
you are doing my friend.

It's working!

Quest World log on.

Subject, Johnny Quest.

(Jessie)
Goin' hot!

whoosh

I'm taking her in close.

Somehow, I've got
to board that plane.

clankk

You're too late, boy.

You'll never stop me!

bang

Ah!

Aah!

[grunting]

beep beep

biff

[both grunting]

I love games!

thud

[grunting]

Give my regards
to the mountain, Mr. Quest.

Julia, pull me
out of Quest World.

Bye bye.

mu ha ha

Jonny did it!

Well, no matter
they didn't crash

the nerve gas
will take care of them.

Lorenzo,
let us...disappear.

Jonny, I believe it is now
time for that second miracle.

Jess, I'm taking her
as high as I can.

Get ready to open
the front hatch.

Hadj, make sure
everybody's strapped in.

beep beep beep

(Jonny)
'We're at 29,000!'

hisssss

'Now, Jessie, now!'

[wind gushing]

After all that, landing
this thing should be easy.

Yes, if only
we had a runway.

whoosh

[tires screeching]

(President)
'Johnny, Jessie, Hadji'

this country owes you all
a great debt of gratitude.

Oh, not a problem,
Mr. President.

We do this kind
of stuff all the time.

Just one thing, sir.

I'd like to personally
say goodbye to Agent Hinkle.

I'm afraid
that's impossible, Mr. Bannon.

You see, Hinkle's been
permanently reassigned.
