(male #1)
'Just think, Vedder.'

'We are standing in
the center of a meteor crater'

'which could've caused
the extinction of the dinosaurs'

'sixty five million years ago.'

(male #2)
Yeah. Well, if we'd stayed
in government work much longer

we would've become extinct.

I have to agree.

Tectonic seismic experiments
are much safer.



[engine revving]

Well, Dr. Forbes.

Care to join me
in being the first men

to ever descend two miles
into the earth's crust?

I'd be delighted.

[dramatic music]

[tires screeching]

What?

May the death of the world

be upon each
and everyone of you.

Thanks to your efforts

I, Ezekiel Rage,
will now be able to detonate

a thermonuclear triple warhead

two miles
within the earth's crust.



You can't do that. It will
separate the tectonic planes.

Exactly. This is the way
the wicked world ends.

Not with a whimper, but a bang.

Everything is ready,
honored one.

Excellent.

Now, set the timer
for seven days.

That will allow us
to convene in the Himalayas

'and bear witness
to the end of the world.'

[laughing]

We shall inherit
the purity of destruction.

So, it is written
in the book of Rage.

What should we do with them?

Drop them in!

[tires screeching]

[engine revving]

Seal it.

[beeping]

[engine revving]

[explosion]

[rumbling]

(Rage)
'Now, nothing can stop
the coming doom of Rage.'

[pleasant music]

Questworld log on.

Subjects, Jonny Quest
and Jessie Bannon.

Going hot.

(Iris)
Three, two, one.

whoosh

(Jessie)
'How much memory
do we need to delete, Hadji?'

(Hadji)
'Only three percent more.'

(Jonny)
'Well, what're we waiting for?'

whoosh

(Jonny)
'Come on, let's take out some
of the backed up archieves.'

Me first.

pew boom

(Jessie)
'Now it's my turn, hot shot.'

pew pew pew boom boom

whoosh

whoosh

Oh, what's the deal, Hadji?
I was just getting into it.

I'm receiving an urgent message
from Dr. Quest.

Jonny. Jessie, Hadji.
Are you reading me?

I'm afraid, we're
crossing over the arctic circle.

It's interfering
with this transmission.

What's up, dad?

I'm about to show you something
that must remain top secret.

It's a transmission just
received by the White House.

The hour of Rage
is at hand, Mr. President.

Seven days ago,
I, Ezekiel Rage, set in motion

the end of the world.

'In just three hours'

'a thermonuclear device
will crack the earth's crust'

two miles below the surface,
splitting the planet into pieces

which will spin into
the purifying fires of the sun.

So, it is written
in the book of Rage.

Listen closely, Jonny.

Our transmission is going to be
blacked out over the north pole

and we only have one hour left
until the bomb goes off.

Jonny. Jonny. Do you read me?

- We're still here, dad.
- We're on our way there, son.

'We won't land
for another four hours.'

'The milatary is attempting
to dig up the bomb.'

'But I'm afraid
they won't have enough time.'

It's upto you and Rachel.
Find.. Computer..

You know what to do.

We have lost his signal.

They'll be out of communication
range for an hour.

- We don't have an hour.
- What did he mean?

It's up to me and Rachel.

Rachel was my mother's name.

Hang on. Let me try something.

[keyboard clicking]

beep

Nothing. Hmm.

Perhaps, it is
not on the computer.

Or use the word, "find".

[screeching]

(Dr. Quest on screen)
Hello, Jonny.

If you are watching this,
it means either I'm dead

or some terrible calamity
has caused me

to allow access to this program.

'When your mother passed away,
I wasn't sure, I could go on.'

'I became obsessed
with the hope'

'that I could see her
one more time.'

'talk with her once more.'

'I labored for months
to create a time portal'

'using Questworld technology.'

'I was just about to transport
myself back in time'

'when I realized not only
could I see your mother again'

'but I could save her.
I could stop her from dying.'

'I had the power
to change the past.'

'I sealed the program away
and never used it.'

I could not change history
for personal gain.

But if my time-travel
program can be used

for a greater good,
then it will be justified.

'Ask Iris for information.'

Good luck, son.

Wow.

Your dad invented
a time-travel program.

I could go back and see my mom.

Not now my friend.

I believe that we must
first save the world.

Right!

Iris, detail program "Rachel".

(Iris)
Time-travel program, "Rachel".

Utilizing three convergent
vectors of tachyon particles

which travel faster
than the speed of light

a point in history
can be plotted

creating a time portal.

'Participants passing
through the portal'

'absorb the particle's energy'

'and manifest
physically in the past.'

What does that mean?

It means that we'll
really be in the past.

Not just in Questworld.

(Hadji)
'Locking in coordinates
and location.'

We are ready, Hadj.

Questworld log on.

Subjects, Jonny Quest
and Jessie Bannon.

'Going hot.'

whoosh

(Hadji)
'Locking time-travel
coordinates, now.'

- I hope you get it right.
- 'I hope so too, my friend.'

- Ready?
- As I ever be.

Activate hoverboards.

roar

- Yah!
- Yah!

(Jonny)
Somehow, this looks a little
further back than two months.

[dinosaur roaring]

(Jessie)
Let's get out of here.

snap

[intense music]

Hadj, you sent us back
60 million years.

Ah, Jonny.

[gasping]

Hadji, shut down
Questworld now.

(Hadji)
'I can not close the file.'

(Hadji)
'The energy in
your rather large friend'

'has jammed the system.'

(Jonny)
Activate virtual speeders.
Let's hogtie that bad boy.

You got it.
Activate laser winch!

pew clang

Ohh!

crash

pew clang

[dinosaur roaring]

Ahh!

[dinosaur roaring]

[screaming]

Hadji, I need more power.

(Hadji)
'Coming at you.'

Yeah!

whoosh

[dramatic music]

[screaming]

(Jessie)
Now Hadji, shut it down now.

Thanks Jess.
Nice time driving, Hadj.

I'm sorry, Jonny.
But time-travel is not easy.

Ready to try again?

Let her rip, Hadj.

[keyboard clicking]

pew pew

Come on, Jess. Get on.

(Jonny)
Hadji, what's goin' on?

(Hadji)
'There is a tremendous
gravitational pull'

'on the other side
of the time portal.'

[screaming]

Jessie. No!

Where did she go, Hadj?

Feedback indicates
two days into the future.

You mean, Rage's bomb
will have already gone off.

Hadj, anchor this as best
as you can. I'm goin' after her.

[keyboard clicking]

pew clang

[dramatic music]

Aah!

[crashing]
Oh, no!

[music intensifies]

Jess, grab my hand.

Jonny!

[grunting]

[rumbling]
Ah!

(Jessie)
Thanks. I think, I've seen
enough of Rage's future.

Hang on, we are
not outta this yet.

Oh, this is not good.

- Close the door, Hadji!
- Right, Jonny.

[keyboard clicking]

thud

Thank heavens,
you are both alright.

You two may laugh,
but with my first two mistakes

I have calculated how to make
the program work properly.

Ah, Hadj, we're not laughing.

Hey, you know what they say.

Third time's the charm.

(Jonny)
'Yeah. I don't think Questworld
can stand another wrong door.'

(Jessie)
'I'm not so sure,
we can either.'

Hang toughly, my friends.
This time, I will not fail.

[sighing]

(Hadji)
'You will arrive
seven days into the past.'

'Just in time to stop Rage.'

Activate hoverboards.

Well, no time like the present.

(Jonny)
Or the past. Let's hit it.

[dramatic music]

Well, Dr. Forbes.

Care to join me
in being the first men

to ever descend two miles
into the earth's crust?

I'd be delighted.

[engine revving]

What?

[tires screeching]

What is that?

Those Quest kids.

(Jonny)
We can't carry that thing
back on these hoverboards.

None shall alter
the plans of Rage!

Get them!

[machine gun firing]
Let's move it!

[firing continues]

crash

Huh!

Argh!

Huh. Wha..?

whoosh

Jonny, you alright?

(Jonny)
'Jessie, look out!'

Nothing shall stop!

thud

[engine revving]

Hey, Ezek, I'll see
you in the future.

[tires screeching]
What happened?

Uh!

Nothing shall
stop the will of Rage.

[engine revving]

[engine revving]

[tires screeching]

Hadji, shut down
the time portal.

(Hadji)
'I cannot.
The system is locking up.

'I've lost all control.'

'There seems to be
a high energy imbalance.'

And I think I know what it is.

I'm gonna try
and dismantle the bomb.

[engine revving]

[tires screeching]
No!

bang

Huh?

whoosh

What was that?

[Rage screaming]

[glass shattering]

'Let go of me.'

Step down from there
or she dies.

[Rage screaming]

(Jonny)
'Jessie!'

bang

Uh!

bang

[beeping]

[laughing]

You can't stop me, boy.

What?

No!

There is still time
to build the book of Rage.

[engine revving]

(Rage)
'I can still bring about
the destruction of the world.'

(Hadji)
'Let him go!'

Close the portal, Hadj.

(Hadji)
'Trust me. Let him go!'

Hadji! You let Rage
get away with the bomb.

I noticed he was heading
towards the wrong door.

(Jessie)
'Where did he go?'

According to the instruments,
it seems that Rage

has gone to visit
an old friend of yours.

[gasping]

What's this?

Where am I?

[gasping]

[dinosaur roaring]

bang crash bang crash

[tires screeching]

[gasping]

[dinosaur roaring]

[beeping]

[gasping]

[explosion]

boom boom boom

The shockwaves
from the bomb blast

are coming through
the time portal.

Hadji, shut the program now.

I cannot.
The system has locked up.

- Do an emergency shut down.
- Cut the power.

[dramatic music]

[glass shattering]

[rumbling]

clang

[explosion]

boom

boom boom

Oh, my friends.
This is not possible.

Oh, this is all my fault.
I was too slow.

(Jonny)
'You could say that again.'

Jonny. Jessie. You are alive!

[whooshing]

Well, we certainly
took care of Rage and his bomb.

Yeah. So much for his plan
to end the world.

- One thing bothers me, though.
- Yeah. What's that?

I wonder what exactly
happened to Ezekiel Rage?

Well, Dr. Forbes.

Care to join me
in being the first men

to ever descend two miles
into the earth's crust?

I'd be delighted.

[intense music]

whoosh

[dramatic music]

(Iris)
The approaching bridge
is worth 400 points.

Missiles away!

pew pew

[explosion]

whoosh

(Iris)
Warning! Bogey on your tail.

pew boom

Can't shake him.

Whoa!

whoosh pew

pew pew

[beeping]

So long, sucker.

(Iris)
Game over.
