(male #1)
'Ain't she a beaut?'

I got a great deal on her.

Paint job included,
I assume?

All included.

Along with the Doppler radar.

I practically stole
this thing, kid.

Uh, I mean,
Your Highness.

Yes, Sultan.

Uh, glad you found time
in your busy schedule

to let us commoners
visit Bangalore.

Oh, Pasha's got somethin' real
exciting to show all of you.

Got your camera, Jess?

Yeah, I brought along
Dr. Quest's

3D holographic camera.
But what are we gonna see?



[gasps]

[grunting]

[helicopter whirring]

All in good time.

(Pasha)
'Man, doesn't this baby
handle like a dream?'

Eh-he, nobody wheels
and deals like you, Pasha.

(Pasha)
'Ain't that the truth, kid.'

(Jonny)
'What kind of warranty
did you get on this thing?'

(Pasha)
'You worry too much, Jonny.'

(Jonny)
'Yeah, well, those look like
pretty serious storm clouds.'

You'd better check
that Doppler radar of yours.

[radar beeping]

[tapping]

See, works great,
looks like a storm.

Oh, great!

(Pasha)
'Not to worry, man.'

'I know how to fly
around a storm.'

[helicopter whirring]

Pasha! That bird!

'It's the blue-clawed
falcon of Shambala.'

(Pasha)
'Told you, I had something
exciting to show you.'

'I spotted it when I was
test driving my chopper.'

[pleasant music]

[helicopter whirring]

(Jessie)
'It's magnificent!'

(Hadji)
'No, he's a miracle!'

(Hadji)
The Shambala Falcon has
not been seen for 500 years.

'It was thought to be extinct.'

(Pasha)
'It'll fetch a fabulous
price in Calcutta.'

(Hadji, Jessie and Jonny)
Pasha!

Heh heh, just kiddin'.

But we can at least
catch some more pictures.

[camera clicks]

[thunder rumbling]

[falcon screeching]

[falcon screeching]

[wind whooshing]

[falcon screeching]

The falcon. It cannot fly.

These winds will blow it
from the ledge, unless..

I know what you're
thinkin', Hadj.

[intense music]

[falcon screeching]

[helicopter whirring]

(Jonny)
'Careful, Hadj!'

[music continues]

[falcon screeching]

[intense music]

(Hadji)
Do not be afraid, little one.

[falcon screeching]

Stay calm.

[falcon screeching]

Okay, Jess, raise the ladder!

clang

[wind whooshing]

(Jonny)
Hold her steady, Pasha!

(Pasha)
'I'm trying, kiddo!'

No! A-a-ah!

A-a-ah!

[both grunting]

[grunting continues]

Jess! Now!

[intense music]

[music continues]

Uh!

I got ya.

[music continues]

Uh!

I suppose you got a good deal
on the rope ladder too?

All included.

May the thief
who sold me this lemon

have 100 years of bad karma.

[falcon screeching]

(Jessie)
'He's beautiful!'

Yes, I will take him
back to Bangalore

'and tend to his wing.'

(Jonny)
Hey, looks like
we've got company.

Does the radio work?

Of course.

[static on radio]

[sizzling]

Figures.

[clanging]

(Pasha)
'Two hundred years bad karma
on that thievin' jackal.'

[pleasant music]

[falcon screeching]

(female #1)
'Incredible!'

So, the legendary
Shambala Falcon does exist.

[falcon screeching]

[Bandit barking]

And now he's met
the legendary Bandit.

Easy, boy.

A creature like this should
not be held captive, Hadji.

Do not worry, mother.

I intend to nurse him back
to health, then let him go.

At least that'll give me
some time to study

this extraordinary creature.

[helicopter whirring]

(Jonny)
Somethin' tells me we're not
the only ones interested in him.

[helicopter whirring]

You can relax, gentlemen.
I'm not dangerous.

[birds chirping]

You're the pilot?

Don't you think
a woman is capable

of handling
these mountains alone?

I am also an ornithologist.

I was following the falcon
when I saw the accident.

So, that is why
you were following us.

I am Hadji,
Sultan of Bangalore.

This is my mother, Neela.

(Hadji)
Pasha, my, uh...mentor.

'And my friends,
Jonny and Jessie.'

I am Anaya.

And this is
the Shambala Falcon.

Perhaps the only one
in existence.

Hm, yes. I am caring
for him until he heals.

Then, I will set him free.

I would expect no less.

I wonder if I might be allowed
to observe the bird

while it recovers?

Of course. You may
stay in the palace.

Thank you.

[Indian classical music]

Do you approve, Anaya?

I could not have
done better myself.

What about the blood samples
I took, Jonny?

Pretty amazing!

The computer says
the falcon's blood

is remarkably free
of degenerative cells.

[computer beeping]

[Bandit sniffing]

[Bandit whimpering]

Huh! He can already
flex his injured wing.

Yes. He appears to have
incredible recuperative powers.

His recovery should
take no time at all.

Then perhaps the old
legends are true.

Legends?

That the falcon comes from
the lost city of Shambala

which only appears
every 500 years

and is said to contain
a river of eternal life.

But that is just
a myth, mother.

Haresh is very real.

Haresh?

You have named him
after your father.

Yes.

His spirit who now soars
free amongst the clouds.

Or soon will, if we
give him time to rest.

Most excellent.

[screeching]

[instrumental music]

Ah, Jessie, I sense
you feel more toward my son

than either he
or you have realized.

(Hadji)
'You see, Anaya, I am
only a part-time sultan.'

My mother rules in my absence
while I spend most of the year

with Dr. Quest and his family.

I have heard
of the famous Dr. Quest

and his inventions.

(Jonny)
'Jess, these 3D pictures
you took are great.'

(Anaya)
'Very impressive.'

But tell me more about
your life in America.

Well, I think I've
heard this one before.

I'm turning in.

Goodnight, Jessie.

I really like
the pictures you took

especially the ones of Hadji.

Thanks, Neela.

[instrumental music]

[Haresh screeching]

[gasps]

[intense music]

[screeching continues]

Hey!

[grunting]

thud

[intense music]

[grunts]

clang

- Jess!
- The falcon!

creak

Gotcha!

[grunting]

[shattering]

rip

[screeching]

What is going on?

Someone tried
to steal the falcon.

(Hadji)
What? I will have
the palace searched.

We found no one, Your Highness.

Hey, it wasn't me, man.

Relax, Pasha.

Haresh will be
well-guarded tonight.

By tomorrow you will be
winging your way back home.

Unless someone tries
to steal him again.

[instrumental music]

[tinkling]

[Bandit barking]

[Haresh screeching]

[barking continues]

[whooshing]

[Haresh screeching]

[Jonny chuckles]

Sorry, boy. No contest.

thud

[all laughing]

But enough games, Haresh.
You are strong enough to fly.

You are strong
enough to return home.

[Haresh screeching]

Can't believe the kid
is letting that bird go.

Oh, well.

Now, this bird is a nice
piece of equipment.

Hmm.

Maybe Anaya will make
me a good deal on it.

Wonder what she'd
give me in trade on mine.

creak

(Pasha)
Wha..

[instrumental music]

[whimpering]

Haresh, no.

I don't think he's
gonna leave you, Hadj.

[Haresh screeching]

I know you understand, Haresh.

Your place is in the clouds.

In the mountains.
Not with me. Now go.

[Haresh screeching]

[helicopter whirring]

He's going.

[whirring continues]

[gasps]
My helicopter!

(Jonny)
'It must be that burglar.
He's after the falcon!'

Unless we stop him.

(Hadji)
'No sign of Pasha.
And no keys.'

[sizzling]

Keys? No problem. But who's
gonna fly this thing?

I will.

[helicopter whirring]

(Jessie)
'Can't this thing
go any faster?'

(Anaya)
'I'm afraid my
helicopter is too fast.'

Anaya, we have lost them.

[helicopter whirring]

[intense music]

I fear poor Haresh
will end up in some zoo

or a rich man's collection.

I am sorry, Hadji.

Should I keep looking
or head back to the palace?

That won't be necessary.

I took the precaution
of slipping one of dad's

homing devices
on Haresh last night.

'Just in case someone tried
to bird-nap him again.'

Yeah, good move.

(Jonny)
'That'll readjust our course'

'toward those
north-western peaks.'

[intense music]

[instrumental music]

[Haresh screeching]

I did not think you would
be returning this time.

[gasps]

'A demon bird!'

[helicopter whirring]

[intense music]

This mountain isn't
even on the map.

If it's one of Pasha's maps,
I'm not surprised.

(Hadji)
'Maybe Haresh is leading us
to the lost city of Shambala.'

(Jonny)
'Yeah, right. Let's say he's
leading us to a bird thief.'

[Bandit barking]

(Jessie)
'That's a red mountain tiger.'

[roars]

(Hadji)
'Look, a woolly mammoth.'

(Jonny)
'Incredible! A three-horned
golden orangutan.'

(Hadji)
'They are all extinct.
This must be Shambala.'

(Jessie)
'And that purple river must
be the river of eternal life.'

(Jonny)
'There's no sign
of that other chopper.'

[helicopter whirring ]

[beeps]

The falcon must
have given them a slip.

Haresh is in there.

[instrumental music]

Haresh!

[Haresh screeching]

Calm down.

I will free you.

(female #2)
'I don't think so.'

Have you got
them covered, sister?

Yes, Melana.

Go ahead and tie them up.

(Jonny)
Twins? You gotta be kidding.

[Indian classical music]

(Hadji)
What is the meaning
of this, Anaya?

Melana and I have the situation
under control, father.

[buzzing]

Excellent, my daughters.

Our helicopters
are on their way.

Homing on to your signal.

(Jessie)
I don't believe this.
The twins of Zin?

- Then who is that?
- The keeper of Shambala.

But there is nothing
he can do to help you.

Father, you said these kids
foiled you many times.

I thought they would
be more of a challenge.

You have done well, Anaya.

Finding the falcon
which could lead us

to the fabled
waters of Shambala.

So that is what
you are after.

- And I thought you were--
- An ornithologist? I am.

We have been trained in many
sciences and skills, Hadji.

With the water of eternal life,
I will live forever.

[Bandit sniffing]

[Bandit barking]

[Pasha mumbling]

[helicopters whirring ]

Come, Anaya, the helicopters
are here for the water.

Do not delay.

There is no telling when the
lost city might disappear again.

[buzzing]

[helicopters whirring]

Mwah. Farewell, Hadji.

Perhaps we shall
meet again in 500 years.

Uh, boy, can you pick 'em.

You don't seem to have
much luck with women.

[grunting]

Or with these ropes.

Zin obviously taught them how
to make their knots yogi-proof.

[Haresh screeching]

Yes, Haresh.
Come to me if you can.

Just a little closer, Haresh.

[creaking]

[Haresh screeching]

clang

[buzzing]

What's happening?

Shambala begins
to vanish now, under water.

Don't worry, we'll stop them.

[intense music]

Come, Melana,
it seems Shambala

is about to do
its disappearing act.

Hold it!

Your rope tying needs
improvement, sister.

Let's see if your
aim is better.

[grunting]

thud

- Hyah!
- Hyah!

[Bandit barking]

Ha!

[Bandit whimpering]

You are no match for me, Hadji.

thud

[grunting]

[grunting continues]

[grunting]

Fun's over!

[Haresh screeching]

[grunting]

Sister!

[grunting]

I am now in your debt, Haresh.

[Haresh screeching]

You must leave at once.

Or remain in this valley
until it next reappears.

Five hundred years?
We gotta move.

Jonny, we cannot
leave them here.

Though it is tempting.

Yeah, I know what you mean. We
couldn't do that to the keeper.

I have failed.

The outside world
was never meant

to have the secret
of eternal life.

You're sure you can
handle this thing?

I've worked lots of hours
on that chopper-attack game.

Besides, doesn't look
like I have much choice.

Bandit, come on.

[Bandit barking]

[helicopter whirring]

If that is what
you want, go now!

[instrumental music]

(Jessie)
It's gone!

That was close.

I will never see
Haresh again.

[Haresh screeching]

Haresh.

(Melana)
'So, you have a new pet,
but we have won.'

Our father has the water of
eternal life.

Not yet, he doesn't.

If those choppers
homed in on this signal

then we can home in on them.

That way.
And step on it!

Oh, no, no, no,
do not waste your time.

I too know a few things
about tying knots.

(Jonny)
'There they are!'

(Jessie)
'They'll never know
what hit 'em.'

Hold it steady, Jonny.

[gunshots]

[sloshing]

Anaya, Melana, you have done
well on your first mission.

Return to base.

I think perhaps your daughters
could use a bit more of training

Dr. Zin.

But they have a little
unfinished business

in Bangalore first.

[whirring]

Take good care of them.

[helicopter whirring ]

I'm glad to see
the last of those birds.

'Not you, Haresh.'

[Haresh screeching]

It is strange to think
my new pet will outlive me.

Yeah, my old one too.
You're immortal, boy.

[Bandit barking]

What about my
poor helicopter, man?

Oh, you'll see it again, Pasha.
In about 500 years.

Well, at least I'll get
a good price for this.

Somehow, I feel the Zin twins
will be out of jail

long before Shambala
reappears again.

[screeching]

(Dr. Zin)
Sooner than you think.

[laughing menacingly]

[all gasp]

Oh, wait!

Those police
were Zin's henchmen.

We will meet again, Hadji.

Count on it.

[Haresh screeches]

[intense music]

[whooshing]

[screeching]

(Iris the computer)
'Crease the area at 50%.'

I know how to do this, Iris.

thud

(Iris the computer)
'Obviously.'

[dramatic music]

Look out, Quest World!
