[pleasant music]
Thanks for picking me up, Race.
No problem, doc.
- How was the conference?
- Wonderful!
We discussed some
fascinating new theories
in quantum fracto
energy sources.
Eh. Sounds like a party to me.
[engine revving]
(female #1)
'Well, Jessie, I can see
why you like to stay'
'with your father so often.'
This place is a little plusher
than one of my dusty
archaeological digs.
(Jonny)
'C'mon, we'll show you
the rest of the place.'
(female #1)
'Wonderful, Jonny.
Please lead the way.'
[ominous humming]
We'll start with the guestroom.
[alarm blaring]
The intruder alarm!
[dramatic music]
[blaring continues]
(computer)
Six unidentified objects
climbing via sea cliff.
'Distance 40 meters.'
[gasping]
[music continues]
- What were they?
- No time to explain!
But believe me,
it's big trouble!
[zapping]
[pleasant music]
[engine revving]
Race, you do know there's
a speed limit in Maine.
Sorry, doc. I'm just
anxious to see my kid.
- And Estella?
- Sure.
Nice of her to pay Jess a visit.
[engine revving]
I think she still has feelings
for you as well. Maybe you--
[gasping]
Oh, no! The mansion!
[dramatic music]
[tires screeching]
- Jonny!
- Jessie! Estella!
[fire crackling]
[grunting]
There's no sign of anyone.
[electricity crackling]
(Dr. Quest)
This remote security system
should have recorded everything.
Computer, playback last two
minutes of audio-video footage.
(computer)
Playback initiated.
[static]
Activate defense blinds.
[static]
(computer)
'Defense blinds activated.'
[crashing]
- Doc, those robots belong to--
- Dr. Zin!
[static]
[screaming]
[crashing]
They're getting through!
woof woof woof
[music continues]
[screaming]
[screaming]
[music continues]
woof woof woof
That looks like a detonator.
[explosion]
- We need to--
- Bandit.
[Bandit whimpering]
Good to see you too, boy.
I traced Jonny
by his signal watch.
Before the signal cut off,
the satellite tracking
showed 'em in Cairo, Egypt.
Let's get
to the Dragonfly, doc.
It's time to visit
an old friend.
[Persian music]
(Jade)
'Huh! I don't hear
from you in months.'
'Then you show up
on my doorstep'
and ask me to help
fetch your ex?
Sorry, handsome.
No deal.
It's kind of
a conflict of interest.
You don't understand--
Jade, there's no time for this.
If you can help us,
I'll pay whatever you ask.
Hmm. Well...I've always had
a soft spot for Jonny.
Your Jessie's a good kid too.
But I'm charging you double.
This is Zin we're talking about.
Not some ordinary creep.
Excuse me, doctor.
Before you arrived, I had
already hired Ms. Jade
to recover a stolen
government artifact. But--
Mr. Henry, we appreciate your
long standing business
dealings with Jade.
But we're talking
about our family here
not some museum piece.
Oh, you misunderstand,
gentlemen.
I'm trying to offer my help.
Wonderful! Where do we start?
We start with Zin's
top competitor
in this part of the world.
'Stephano DePace.'
[intense music]
- We have to break-in?
- Do you want my help or not?
Lucky I brought a few surprises.
spray
Wow! I have to get some of that.
[crumbling]
Be sure not to touch anything.
[music continues]
[whispers]
DePace's quarters are there.
Right above us.
snore snore
mmmm
- Not a sound.
- I'll keep a lookout.
(Race)
Don't try anything stupid.
Just answer our questions,
and we'll be on our way.
- 'Understand?'
- Mm-hm.
- What do you want?
- Where's Zin?
He has my family.
(Stephano)
'So this is personal, huh?
Forget it!'
'I'm sorry to say, that layer
of his is impenetrable.'
Let me worry about that.
Now, where is it?
(Stephano)
'There are some ancient ruins
about 25 miles south-east'
'of this complex.'
'But the area is well protected
by an army
of strange spider-things.'
(Dr. Quest)
'Hey, we know all about them.
Anything else?'
Isn't that enough?
'You don't have a prayer against
Zin and his mechanical pets.'
'No one has ever returned alive
from that horrible place.'
[knob creaking]
(Dr. Quest)
'Jade, time to leave.
We have what we came for.'
We certainly do.
(Stephano)
'It's people like Zin
that make it difficult'
to eke out a dishonest living.
Leave now,
and I won't have you killed.
Thanks for everything, DePace.
No!
[siren blaring]
What? He said--
Guess you can't trust
anyone these days.
[siren continues blaring]
[assault rifles firing]
Oh, this way!
[glass shattering]
There's Henry.
[siren continues blaring]
[engine revving]
- How did it go?
- Smooth.
woof woof woof
I thought I'd bring him for you.
Did you get it?
Sure, did.
It went like clockwork.
Ah.
The Scepter of Osiris.
(Henry)
'My government
thanks you, Ms. Jade.'
- You used us to get in there?
- What's the big deal?
We both got what we were after.
ha ha ha
Yes, we all did.
ha ha ha
My employer, the good Dr. Zin,
will be delighted to see you.
He will be delighted
to see you, most of all.
muahahaha
I can't find a way out.
I think this might be important.
What is it?
I'm pretty sure
it's a symbol for passage.
But it won't budge.
Mom, I saw an identical
marking in the other corner.
Hey, maybe they need
to be pushed at the same time.
- No, that'll be too easy.
- But it's worth a try.
Okay, on three.
One. Two. Thr..
Aah!
Smart, kid.
You really..
[screaming]
Unbelieveble.
This place is older
than the great pyramids
and in perfect condition.
(Jonny)
'We can check it out later.'
'Right now,
we better keep moving.'
Yeah, mom. Zin's probably
on our tail right now.
Uh? Run!
[dramatic music]
(Jessie)
They might not be able to follow
us up those narrow stairs.
They can.
Move it!
[music continues]
Give me a hand, quick.
[grunting]
Come on, Mom. You too.
I can't believe, I'm destroying
this priceless artifact.
thud
crash
boom
- Yes! One down.
- One to go.
[Bandit barking]
Bandit?
Dad must be here.
woof woof woof
Where are they, boy?
Oh-oh, we got company.
(Zin)
'You are not going anywhere.'
Zin?
woof woof woof
- What's wrong with you?
- Ah! Hey!
[grunting]
What have you done to them, Zin?
Oh, apparently you
did not inherit
your father's intelligence, boy.
(Estella)
'The Scepter of Osiris!'
Precisely.
Once united with this gauntlet,
my mere voice can control
any mind.
Why are you doing this?
What better way
to test the scepter
'than to have my enemies
destroy one another.'
You are insane.
So seems all visionaries
to the unenlightened masses.
Take them,
and jump over the side.
[screaming]
Mangy cur.
pow
No, the scepter!
This isn't over.
Oh, yes it is.
(Dr. Quest)
Your schemes, your tacks.
You've threatened my family
for the last time.
[zapping]
Move!
boom
- Ah!
- Destroy them all.
You won't get away
this time, Zin.
crash
Dad!
bam bam
Move it.
(Jessie)
'Get down.'
Uh.
(Estella and Jade)
Race!
Get out of here, everybody.
I'll handle this.
No! Dad!
No!
- A hero to the bitter end.
- I hope not.
[zapping]
[rumbling]
[zapping]
Uh.
boom
- Thanks, Estella. I'm--
- Look.
I think our luck's
finally changed.
pow pow pow
[grunting]
thud
Come on, Zin. One day
we both knew we'd come to this.
Let's finish it now.
I could not agree more.
[grunting]
Race, we gotta find a way
to save dad.
Oh-oh, we're not out
of the woods yet.
[zapping]
boom
boom boom boom
crack
Aah!
Surrender.
Never.
clang
[rumbling]
thud
Help me.
(Race)
Go. Go.
zap zap zap
(Jessie)
'Who's that?'
Hit them with everything.
[assault rifles firing]
zap zap zap
boom
DePace, I've seen those things
withstand tank fire.
- Any suggestions?
- I've got an idea.
It's hopeless, Zin. This statue
is wedged in too tight.
So be it.
click
muahahaha
One last surprise, doctor.
(Zin)
'The ancient pharaohs designed
this temple to seal perfectly'
'from the outside world.'
Ingenius, no?
You're mad!
We'll both be buried alive!
Yes. Trapped together
in this room of kings
for all eternity.
That should be tiny love
to resolve our differences.
Sorry, I have a different
future in mind.
Fool! There is no way out.
'My heirs will finish
what I have started.'
'You cannot win.'
muahahaha
Oh!
No!
zap zap zap
There's where
we climbed up.
'That's the spot
we've got to draw them to.'
No, problem.
(DePace)
When I give the signal,
pulverize that fissure.
This family attracts danger
like a lightening rod.
Yeah, fun isn't it.
Here they come.
Fire!
boom
[cheering]
I don't get it.
Why help us?
I figured,
with you attacking Zin
I would have
a clear shot at him.
And Jade and I still need
to have a little talk.
(Race)
Look out.
[gasping]
- Oh, no! Run for it!
- No need for that, son.
Dad?
(Dr. Quest)
'So, I managed to hotwire
one of Zin's robots'
and burned my way out.
Pretty smooth, doc.
Well, I'm just thankful
we can go home.
What home?
Zin blew it up, remember?
May be we could take the Florida
compound out of mothballs.
Race, you read my mind.
I can't believe,
I've really been working
for that slimeball Zin
all these years.
Not any more.
The authorities nabbed
Mr. Henry an hour ago.
He's spilling the beans
on Zin's entire operation.
- I still feel like a fool.
- No one blames you, Jade.
You didn't know.
Yeah, besides, if it
weren't for you
our dads might
never have found us.
Hmm, that reminds me, Benton.
There's the little matter
of my rescue fee.
Oh, we didn't forget, Jade.
Oh, no. We had
to reimburse Mr. DePace
for the scepter
you stole from him.
Hmph.
Well, since it's paid for
I guess I can keep it.
Without the armband
it's just another bauble, right?
Ha ha ha!
Jezebel Jade strikes again.
[all laughing]
[beeping]
Whoa! Iris, status?
(Iris)
'Viral probe seven, now--'
What was that?
'Surd virus.
Limited intelligence.'
You mean, stupid bug,
easy target.
I'm on it.
Whoa! Looks like we're
not in Kansas any more.
I wish no smiling.
[screaming]
(Iris)
'Warning! First evolution
virus detected.'
thud
zap zap zap
'Warning! Second evolution
virus detected.'
Yeah, I noticed. Whoa!
'Warning! Third evolution
virus detected.'
'Correction. Destroyed.'
'Explosives armed.'
Detonation in five,
four, three, two, one.
boom
Iris, status?
'Virul extermination,
unconfirmed.'
