(Jonny)
'I don't get it, dad.'

'Two French ghost hunters
are investigating'

'a haunted mansion in Venice.'

'And they want you
to help verify the findings?'

It does so happen to be the most
paranormally active house



in all of Europe.

If not the world.

I don't like it, doc.

How do we know
these scientists

aren't just using you
to push their own careers?

Race has a point, Dr. Quest.

Yes, but to tell the truth

I've always wanted to
investigate this house myself.

I've studied and read about the
history of this place for years.

Well, if you want my opinion.

'If it's not haunted now, it
sure looks like it ought to be.'

[instrumental music]

Wait!

Boy.



Huh!

Beware the house.

It is cursed.

It holds a deep hunger.

You have been forewarned.

Beware!

Yeah, thanks, mister.

Got everything, Jonny?

Yeah, Hadj.

Well, he seems happy
to leave this place.

Yeah, and he warned us
to do the same.

- 'I don't know, Hadj.'
- What is it, my friend?

[thunder rumbling]

I'm beginning to get a pretty
bad feeling about this place.

Oh, Dr. Quest.

Oh, thank you so much
for coming.

Everything is in readiness.

Our invention is hard-wired
into the walls of the house.

I see.

As a part of my verification,
I'll need you to explain

the exact function
of your invention.

Mm, but of course.

The electromagnetic field
created by paranormal activity

'flows into our device
and is transformed into data.'

Then, the electromagnetic field
is disposed by our device.

(Professor Francois)
'Oui, oui, which emits a
counter electric pulse.'

'In effect, destroying
any ghostly entities.'

Wow!

Fascinating.

Do you gentlemen mind
if I look over your invention?

O-oh, we would be most honored.

Eric, once we have
the endorsement

of the famous Dr. Quest..

Oui, oui, Francois.

We will finally be respected
in the scientific community.

Oh-oh, forget respect.

We will be able to sell
our invention for many millions.

We will be rich.

[intense music]

What's wrong?

Something is strange.

I feel that this wall,
it hides something.

'It reveals it.'

'Something evil.'

'You're talking
in riddles, Hadj.'

(Dr. Quest)
'Jonny, Hadji, we're about
to start.'

Come on.

Sounds like dad
and those two French guys

'are about to exorcise the house
of that evil vibe you feel.'

I don't know, Jonny.

I am beginning to share your
very bad feeling about this.

[sizzling]

It's working.

[crackling]

boom

We need more power.

How much more?

More than zero.

Can you be more specific?

Oui, oui.

Much more than zero.

'Are you sure these guys
know what they're doing?'

'Well, the equipment is
scientifically sound'

'but Francois and Eric don't
seem to know how to use it.'

[evil laughter]

- Huh!
- O-oh!

Fools, your toy has
given me more power.

Now, you shall pay
with your lives!

[thunder rumbling]

[screaming]

Ah-h!

Hang on, doc.

'None shall escape.'

'All shall be mine.'

[evil laughter]

[evil laughter]

Argh!

Ah-h!

Help!

Hang on!

[electricity crackling]

Ah-h!

Oh!

[grunting]

[electricity crackling]

[screaming]

Jonny!

My grip.

Can't hang on.

No, Hadji!

No!

Dad?

[eerie music]

They were warned.

I'm fine, son.

Just a little shaken up.

We're in a lot better shape

than these poor scientists.

Dad, what about Hadji?

- You don't think that--
- Don't lose hope, Jonny.

Perhaps, we can use the data
this invention collected

to find out
exactly what's going on.

It seems that the entity
or paranormal force

that exists here--

You mean that voice?

Exactly!

From the data
it appears that the entity

used the power of the machine
to make itself stronger.

Thus allowing it
to physically transport Hadji

to the supernatural dimension.

But why?

That's what we need to find out.

(Hadji)
'Jonny, Dr. Quest.'

'Help me!'

Hadji?

Where are you?

Hadj!

'Help me.'

'Help me.'

[evil laughter]

Let him go.

'He's mine now.'

[evil laughter]

Dad, we've got to do something.

We will, son.

Race, we may need
some outside help on this.

Sorry, doc.

I've already tried
every means of communication.

They're out.
Nothing but static.

I guess, we're on our own.

Running this data through
my laptop's configuration

'shows that an energy portal
was created'

'directly into
the paranormal source.'

You mean the house ate Hadji?

Not the house,
but the entity that lives here.

It has the power to transport
living matter to the dead zone.

So do we, dad.

Only we call it "Quest World."

Using the French equipment,
which is already hard-wired

'into the house'

'we should be able to access the
house's paranormal source'

'directly through Quest World,
and save Hadji.'

There!
Everything is connected.

Ready, Race?

Quest World log on.

Subjects, Jonny Quest
and Race Bannon.

Going.

(Dr. Quest)
'I've calibrated
the Quest World's sensors

'to pick up any signs
of spiritual activity.'

Activate sensor scan.

[sizzling]

Nothing.

'We are tapped
into the spirit realm'

'but I'm reading no activity.'

[crackling]

[screaming]

Activate laser Gatling gun.

Activate light shield.

[gunshots]

[firing continues]

(Jonny)
'It's going into the wall.'

Dad, any sign of it?

It's not registering.

The sensors never
picked up a thing.

(Hadji)
'Race.'

'Jonny, help me!'

It's Hadji.

[intense music]

Ah-huh!

Jonny, what's..

(Jonny)
'Hadji.'

Hadji, are you alright?

Now, you are mine.

[gunshot]

Run, Jonny.

It is controlling me.

Get out while you still can.

No! Not without you!

Ah-h!

[gunshots]

(Race)
'It made itself immune
to our weapons'

'with some kind
of energy field.'

Dad, pull us
out of Quest World now.

Shutting down Quest World..

Ah-h!

[grunting]

Jonny.

Run for it, kiddo.

[intense music]

(Jonny)
Oh, no!

(Race)
Dead end.

You think we lost it?

I doubt it.

[screaming]

Race.

Dad, where are you?

'Help us!'

Hang on, Jonny.

Save yourself, Jonny.

No!

What!

Ah-h!

No!

[intense music]

[evil laughter]

Dad!

'Help me!'

Oh!

Jonny.

Jonny!

[grunting]

Jonny, hang on.

I have already lost
Race and Hadji

I will not lose my son.

thud

Jonny, are you alright?

It's got Race and Hadji.

I know, son.

We've got to get back in there.

'I'm afraid, I had to destroy
our entrance into Quest World'

'to save you.'

Now, we'll never be able
to fight that thing.

'There is another way.'

There are two monsters
living here.

Destroy one
and you destroy the other.

I don't understand.

Who are you?

I am Jacobi Sporachi.

The last of the Sporachi family.

But that's impossible.

Jacobi Sporachi disappeared
over two hundred years ago.

True, his body
was never found but..

That body stands
before you now.

But how?

Two and a half centuries ago,
I was the happiest of men.

(Jacobi)
My family had made a fortune

in harvesting
deep water pearls.

I had inherited the business
as the only living heir.

I was a young man
full of the vigor of life.

I hired a partner
to help grow the business.

Frederico worked
diligently for me.

Then, one faithful day

one of my divers found the
largest black pearl

I had ever seen.

Little did I know then

that it had an evil life
of its own.

That pearl embodied the
very essence of greed.

The pearl's evil spirit
was able to feed

on Frederico's true nature.

Which was an unbridled lust
for wealth and power.

Frederico used the energy
of the pearl for his own gain

at the cost
of his immortal soul.

I tried to stop
his terrible corruption

and in return, he cursed me
with a fate worst than death.

Eternal life
without eternal youth.

Some years later,
Frederico disappeared.

I have stayed near the house
to warn others of his evil.

Alas! I have not
always been successful.

Somewhere in this house,
the pearl is hidden.

And if we destroy it,
we destroy the entity.

Then there still maybe a chance
to save Hadji and Race.

'You will relinquish
your souls to me.'

Never!

[screaming]

'You have no choice.'

'You will submit.'

[evil laughter]

I've checked
every room upstairs.

Nothing!

The kitchen, too.

What's wrong, Mr. Sporachi?

That wall.

'It was never there before.'

Dad, there's air
coming through here.

[intense music]

There's something behind this.

We need something
to break through this wall.

And I know just that thing.

Come on.

'Resistance is futile.'

[grunting]

'What fools!'

'They cannot stop me!'

Wow!

Where are we?

(Jacobi)
'Oh, it is the old courtyard.'

'Frederico must have sealed
it off for some reason.'

'The pearl.'

(Jacobi)
'We must destroy it.'

Well, dad.

Can you give me a lift?

It's been a long time
since I've carried you

but I think I can still manage.

[intense music]

Ah!

Oh-ah!

Jonny.

'Dad!'

Argh!

Oh, no, you don't.

[growling]

Frederico, you pathetic soul!

You should have served
the pearl with me.

The Pearl!

(Hadji)
'Do not do it, my friend.

(Race)
'Don't do it, kiddo.'

(Hadji)
'You will finish us all.'

Ah-h!

No, it's all lies.

You're not Hadji.
You're not Race.

'I am power!'

'I am riches.'

'I am everything you yearn for.'

No, you're dust.

Ah-h!

'No!'

[crackling]

[screaming]

You did it, Jonny.

[rumbling]

(Jonny)
We're not out of this yet.

Come on!

- Whoa!
- Whoa!

Jonny, I owe you my life.

Owe it to me later

when we're out of here.

Hurry!

[rumbling]

The window.

Hae-ya!

This way out. Now!

Whoa!

[screaming]

Thank you, boy.

'Thank you.'

Ha-huh!

Now Jacobi can finally
go to his eternal rest.

In peace.
