(captain)
'How long until
we reach port, Mr. Petrov.'
(Petrov)
'Thirty six minutes
at our present speed, captain.'
It will be nice to be home
after such a long patrol.
Yes, my Natasha
will be glad to see me.
Captain Rossanov!
Radar shows
a jet approaching on
an intercept course at mach one!
Intercept course?
Petrov, contact the base.
Inform them of--
All communications
are being scrambled.
Red alert!
whoosh
[intense music]
clank
splash
[crackling]
[all groaning]
All stations report!
We've come
to a complete stop.
What?
clang
[music continues]
[gasping]
What is this?
vroom vroom vroom
bang bang bang
boom boom
(male #1)
'Please do raise
your hands, Captain Rossanov.'
I do not believe it. Vostok!
[chuckling]
I'm flattered you remember me.
(Rossanov)
'Our military has orders'
'to shoot you
on sight for terrorism.'
I'm sure you do, old friend.
Now, please surrender.
(Vostok)
'I would hate
to damage your submarine.'
'Not to mention
your patriotic crew, yes?'
[dramatic music]
Thermal charges are in place
and we can free
the Gagarin without difficulty.
Our Trojan Horse will be
ready within the hour.
Excellent, colonel.
Our great cause
proceeds on schedule.
[phone ringing]
History will smile
upon this day.
What is it?
(male #2)
'Our agent in
the Arctic Circle reports'
'the aircraft of Dr. Quest'
'will be passing over our
airspace in a matter of hours.'
Your old enemy?
[laughing]
Do not concern
yourself, Nikolai.
My plans are ambitious
enough to include everyone.
Even the family
of Dr. Benton Quest.
muahahaha
[electricity crackling]
[dramatic music]
[squeaking]
Captain, is something wrong?
[all gasping]
Vostok!
[gun cocking]
Now, try not to hit
Captain Rossanov.
Fire!
[firing assault rifles]
clank
[bomb beeping]
Ah!
Oh!
[dramatic music]
clank
[music continues]
Whoa! Such cold!
It is like St. Petersburg.
[chuckling]
Yes. It will thaw
soon enough, colonel.
What you feel, Nikolai
is Mother Russia's
greatest military leader.
This cold is nicknamed..
..."General Winter."
It thwarted
the conquests of Napoleon
and later..
...froze the Third Reich
in it's tracks.
And now, the cold
serves our needs as well.
Order your men
to secure the base.
[dramatic music]
They will find little
resistance. He he he!
[phone ringing]
Yes, what is it?
(male #2)
General, our pilot
has spotted the Quest Jet.
Splendid.
Bring it down.
(Dr. Quest)
'Professor Erikson isn't
expecting us until morning.'
'So, I thought we'd
take the scenic route.'
What do you think
he's cooked up this time?
It's hard to tell with him.
Gunther Erikson's an innovator
in all fields of science.
crack
Sounds like Jonny's still at it.
Hii-ya!
Eh. If you don't
practice some more
I'm gonna be
a black belt before you, Hadj.
While you have been breaking
planks of wood with your hands
I have been working on my
powers of reason and strategy.
It says here "A battle
is won in it's preparation."
[chuckling]
Yeah. Oh, very useful, Hadj.
(Dr. Quest)
'Come here, boys!
I want you to see this view.'
'The aurora borealis.'
'Not many people get
a view from the inside.'
[Bandit barking]
Dogs either,
from the looks of it.
The view is incredible.
whoosh
[intense music]
[whirring]
[all screaming]
Avionics' frozen solid.
Strap yourselves in guys,
this gonna be rough.
Can you land us?
Only one way to find out.
[engine booming]
Hang on!
whoosh
[both]
Oh!
clank
[engine booming]
[gasping]
Everyone, into the Snow Cat,
on the double.
creak
Fire it up!
[whirring]
boom
[engine revving]
[all sighing]
That was a little close.
(Hadji)
How far is it to civilization?
You don't wanna know.
Great place
for a systems failure.
I think we were
brought down on purpose.
What do you mean?
That was no
equipment failure, doc.
Some kind of weapon knocked out
the Dragonfly's systems
and crossed the board.
[engines revving]
Awful quick for a rescue party,
don't you think?
(Bannon)
'Especially out here
in the middle of nowhere.'
(Dr. Quest)
We better lay low until we know
who we're dealing with.
[engines revving]
Ah, I wanted
the Quest team in one piece.
Alright comrades,
back to base.
Wait!
(Vostok)
'They are alive.'
But I am not
so easily deceived.
(Vostok)
'After them!'
[engines revving]
Like hounds tracking the hare.
[engine revving]
[crackling]
It's that creep, Vostok!
I don't believe it.
How long will they
follow our Snow Cat?
Until it runs out
of gas...hopefully.
We can't count on that.
Let's get to the bottom.
[Bandit whimpering]
Oh, man.
The poor Dragonfly.
Good thing you have
a low deductible.
[firing assault rifles]
[intense music]
[laughing]
Happy to see
you alive, Dr. Quest.
Quick, into the cave!
[firing continues]
(Jonny)
'Get back!'
(Vostok)
'After them!'
[dramatic music]
Keep moving, I'll hold 'em off.
[music continues]
[gun cocking]
- Whoa!
- Oh!
crash
Ah!
Save your strength, Bannon.
You cannot stop us all.
Race, the gunshots.
We thought that..
I was trying to even
the odds a bit. Keep moving.
What, where did they go?
(Jonny)
'Hey, Vostok.'
Looking for us?
crackle
- Look out!
- Go, go!
crackle
[whimpers]
ahh
Jonny.
(Nikolai)
Out, all of you.
They don't see me.
I'll dig out after you're gone.
Forget it.
We're miles from--
I'm our only chance.
I'll go for help, and--
(Nikolai)
'You try my patience, doctor.'
[sighs]
We're coming.
(Nikolai)
Where is the other boy?
Down there.
He went after his dog and they
were both lost in a cave in.
General, the blond youth
was lost in a cave in
but I have the others.
(Vostok)
'It is a just fate.'
'He nearly did the same to us.'
'Good work, colonel.'
'I'll see you at the base.'
[engine cranking]
So what do you think, boy?
woof woof woof
I couldn't agree more.
[grunting]
We have to save them ourselves.
'They're going due north.'
It's up to us now.
[intense music]
clang
(Race)
Hey, watch it!
[both grunting]
[Hadji grunting]
I wish these were ropes.
Vostok knows better.
I hope Jonny is alright.
Ah, his chances
are better than ours.
I wonder how
the doc is making out.
[door opens]
(Vostok)
Professor Erikson, I believe
you'll know Dr. Quest.
Benton, you
should not have come.
Well, you did invite me, Gunter
and then we were shot down.
Yes, I invited you,
but at gun point.
The general thinks
you can help me
to perfect my Bifrost Effect
into a super weapon.
I refuse to cooperate
with this mad man.
p-taff
[groaning]
Enough catching up for one day.
You have work
to do, Dr. Quest.
The professor has been, well,
un-cooperative as of late.
You monster!
I'm not about to help
your insane schemes.
I want a projectile version
of the freeze technology
by morning.
In fact, I insist.
Or else the surviving boy,
well..
...I'm sure you can guess.
Leave Hadji alone, you..
As I said, doctor,
until morning.
Erikson's notes are there.
Make good use of them.
The tracks are covered,
but I'm sure they went this way.
beep beep beep
[whimpering]
I know, boy.
I'm cold too.
[Bandit barking]
Hey, wait up!
What is it, boy?
scratch scratch
scratch scratch
[grunting]
Unh!
Good work, Bandit.
woof woof
It's nice and warm in here.
These cuffs would challenge
Houdini himself.
[door slams open]
Hey, guys.
Did you miss us?
woof woof
Hey, nice work, pal.
[muffled grunting]
Do svidaniya, fellas.
Come on.
(Hadji)
'So what's the plan?'
Simple, we bust your dad free
and make a run for it.
I'd like to clean up
this little party
but my first job
is getting you to safety.
(Vostok)
Perhaps, comrade.
Perhaps not.
Please, do come with us.
[gunshot]
hiss
[firing assault rifles]
Get down.
I guess it's plan B.
You two get out of here.
I'll hold 'em off.
[all grunting]
[Vostok grunting]
Haa!
Dad's got to be
around here some place.
What is it
you're doing now, doctor?
Making a few final adjustments.
You must think
me a fool!
I'm not about to give
you a chance to use this.
There's one problem.
That's just the decoy.
zing
Don't move.
[all scream]
zing
I believe
we have found Dr. Quest.
Boys!
Good to see you.
Jonny, I thought
you went for help?
No way. And let someone else
have all the fun?
Where's Race?
[grunting]
bam
[firing assault rifles]
(Vostok)
'Cease fire, you fools.'
Those are propane tanks.
swish
swoosh
swoosh
What?
clang
clang
clang
clang
clang
It is over.
Take your best shot.
Aah!
Help me!
Yeah, sure.
[firing assault rifles]
Careful, you fool.
(Rossanov)
Put down your weapons.
This your last warning.
woof woof
You tell 'em, boy.
woof woof
Good idea freeing
Vostok's prisoners.
Strategy, Jonny.
The enemy of my enemy
is my friend.
Maybe I need to do
a little more reading.
This isn't over, Bannon.
Not if I have something
to say about it.
Race, forget about him.
We have to leave, now!
Yeah, we've got a sub to catch.
- Will they follow?
- Without a doubt.
But we will have
a good head start.
(male #3)
'Captain, I have sonar contact.
Multiple signatures.'
They must have been
in launch readiness.
I read four Akula class
attact subs closing fast.
This is a missile sub. We'll
never outrun those Akulas.
(captain)
'Full engines.'
Full engines, yes, sir.
Red alert!
[dramatic music]
(Nikolai)
'We will be in range
in a few minutes.'
All ships,
this is General Vostok.
Prepare to fire.
(male #3)
'They continue
to close, captain.'
'I estimate thirty seconds
until we are in torpedo range.'
(male #4)
'Target in range.'
Fire!
schhwaff
Two torpedos headed this way.
Launch counter measures.
(Rossanov)
'All hands, brace for impact.'
schhwaff
[everyone]
ahhhh
Captain, we cannot
take another hit like that.
I know, Pedro.
We must--
Captain Rossanov,
I have an idea.
I've rigged a hybrid
of the freeze device
with a small charge.
But if we dump this in our way
we'll only have a minute
to clear the freeze zone.
The Gagarin will give you
all she's got.
schhwaff
Torpedos are loaded, general.
Time to deliver
the final blow, yes?
[evil laughter]
Captain, hold your fire.
They've detonated a freeze bomb.
Our torpedos will be--
History favors the bold.
You have finished us all.
Destiny will not permit it.
boom
(Rossanov)
'Full speed, Pedro.'
- There is no more.
- Why don't we surface?
It's better
to be trapped up there.
Yes! Pedro, drop the valves.
All of it.
Yes, captain.
We made it.
[everyone cheers]
[helicopters whirring]
This is quite a family you
have here, Comrade Quest.
Yes, I think so too, captain.
What is going to happen
to those other submarine crews?
Don't worry,
we will dig them out.
It may take a few weeks
but they have sufficient food
and air while they wait.
Well, till then, I guess,
you can say they're on ice.
[everyone laugh]
(Iris)
'Good morning, Mr. Quest.'
'This book holds
the key to happiness.'
'Attain it, if possible.'
[dramatic music]
(Iris)
'The key to happiness.'
[echoes]
Happiness, happiness, happiness
Nice one, Iris.
(Iris)
'I am happy you liked it.'
