[instrumental music]

[ping-pong ball bouncing]

[wind howling]

[grunting]

[Bandit panting]

Remember, I get winners.

Don't worry, Hadji.
You'll be playing me.

Maybe. Maybe not.



- My serve.
- My dog.

And Bandit won't give up
the ball unless I say so.

Oh, really?

Bandit. Give.

[whimpers]

Traitor.

[creaking]

What's that noise?

Shutters open.

(Iris)
'Opening shutters.'

[Bandit barking]

Oh, no,
it's that racoon again.

Shutters closed.

(Iris)
'Closing shutters.'



[Bandit barking]

(Jessie)
'Here, Bandit.'

[barking continues]

(Jonny)
Garage door open.

(Iris)
'Opening garage door.'

(Jonny)
Bandit, come back here!

[barking]

[wind howling]

[whistling]

Bandit, come!

Yeah, before
we all freeze out here.

Let me try a little trick
I learned in India.

[rope whooshing]

(Jonny)
'Must've been Western India.'

'Hey, nice ropin', Hadji.'

Now come on, Bandit.

(Jessie)
Yeah, give
the raccoon a break.

[wind howling]

[chuckles]
What a watchdog.

(Jonny)
Close garage door.

(Iris)
'Closing garage door.'

[intense music]

[growling]

[music continues]

(Iris)
'Disturbance
in engineering room.'

[alarm blaring]

What?

Must be Bandit chasing
that raccoon again.

[intense music]

[clattering]

Sounds like
he might have caught it.

Or the other way around.

[Bandit whimpering]

Bandit?

Then...who's..

[growling]

Unh!

[dramatic music]

[Bandit barking]

[Bandit growling]

hyah

[growling]

[clattering]

Bandit!

Race, what in the..

[groaning]

- Race, are you hurt?
- Just my pride.

That thing jumped me.

Whatever it is,
I'm goin' after it.

Jonny, wait!

[intense music]

[wind howling]

[gun clicks]

[gun fires]

[growling]

[guns firing]

[growling]

I think we winged him, Kane.

Not good enough, Deke.

To prove we bagged
the Bigfoot

we need to bring in a body.

(Deke)
'There he is!'

[gasps]

[guns firing]

[gasps]

Wait!

[Race grunts]

- Kane, there's two of 'em.
- One for each of us.

(Jessie)
What do you creeps
think you're doing?

[speaking foreign language]

[grunting]

(Deke)
Hey! That's my property.

And this is my property.

I don't allow hunting
on the Quest compound.

Pretty high-end weaponry
for a couple of hotshots

who don't know
what they're doing.

I beg to differ.

My name is Kane Klemper.

And I've hunted big game
all over the world.

Believe me,
I wasn't hunting you.

Deke and I were
tracking Bigfoot.

Bigfoot?

Think I got him, too.

(Jonny)
You almost got us.

An unfortunate mistake, my boy.
Poor visibility.

You did appear right after
the Bigfoot disappeared.

Luckily, so did Race.

How can you be so sure this
Bigfoot you're chasing is real

and not some
elaborate hoax?

Hunter's instinct.

The kind that led me
to the last red rhino in Africa.

And thanks to you,
it's extinct.

I beg to differ, young lady.

It still exists..

...in my trophy room.

Now, can we have
our rifles back?

Race..

Do your trophy hunting
somewhere else

'before someone besides
an innocent animal gets hurt.'

'Now get lost.'

Thank you for the warning.

Again, our apologies
for the mishap.

Come, Deke.

Think I'll escort
the great hunters

back to the road.

[engine revving]

Dad, look!

It's a piece of
my prototype stabilizer.

The hunters must have shot it
while they were chasing after--

(Jessie)
Bigfoot! This track
must be almost two feet.

(Jonny)
But Bigfoot's
just a legend, Jess.

Legends often have
a factual basis, Jonny.

Hadji's right.

Researchers have compiled
over a hundred credible

Bigfoot sightings
going back 50 years or more.

But weren't they all
in the northwest, Dr. Quest?

Until recently, Hadji.

Over the last few weeks, there
have been a rash of sightings.

That explains
those vultures with guns.

With any luck, those vultures
are headed back to Boston.

(Race)
As for the footprint,
maybe it was Bigfoot.

Or just a thief
trying to pretend he's one.

[sighs]
What a mess.

[scraping]

Hello.

[Bandit whimpering]

What a brave watchdog
you turned out to be.

Sure nothing else
is missing, doc?

(Dr. Quest)
'I'm positive, Race.'

The only item stolen
was the prototype

for my Deep Space
Navigational Shield.

And it will be useless
without this vital circuitry.

So Bigfoot got away
empty-handed.

(Race)
'If it was a Bigfoot.'

I'm still not
convinced, Jonny

but maybe this surveillance tape
will change my mind.

(Hadji)
'Incredible!'

'That creature appears to be
at least eight feet tall.'

Huh! Felt more like ten.

(Jessie)
'Look at the glowing eyes.'

- A nyctalope.
- A what?

Humans that can see
in the dark, dad.

My daughter, the brain.

What would
a missing link want

with one of your
prototypes, dad?

What's this thing do, anyway?

Well, the navigational shield
was designed to screen out

electromagnetic disturbances..

...which are disruptive
to a space probe's

advanced guidance system.

Oh, yeah, that explains it.

But what does Bigfoot
need a widget like this for?

Too bad we cannot
find him to ask him.

Perhaps we can, Hadji.

I've been installing
a tracking device

in all my prototypes

in case they should fall
into the wrong hands.

I get it.

If the snow stops by morning,
we might just be able to track--

Yes! Tomorrow
we're going Bigfoot hunting.

Uh, without guns, of course.

Oh, no. We'll be doing
the hunting, young lady.

You and the guys
will be staying right here.

[helicopter whirring]

[helicopter whirring]

(Race)
'Forget the Bigfoot, doc.'

He couldn't have gotten
this far, this fast.

What do you think
those big feet are for, dad?

[all laughing]

The signal's coming
from up there.

'Near the summit
of Mount Washington.'

The Killer Mountain. Figures.

[rattling]

Why do they call it
a killer mountain, Dr. Quest?

Winds at the summit
often exceed hurricane force.

(Race)
'Hang on!'

The only way we're gonna
reach the summit

is in the Questcat.

[clears throat]

So that is the last trap.

[helicopter whirring]

Hey, we've got company, Kane.

(Deke)
'It's those guys
from last night.'

'What are they doing here?'

I don't know.

But they better not
get in the way of our hunt.

We're not on their property
this time.

[intense music]

We'll plow our way up
and check out the signal.

Jonny, you stay here
and watch Jessie.

But Race,
we can follow on snowmobiles.

Race is right. The weather
is too rough up there.

(Hadji)
Do not worry, Jonny.

If we find Bigfoot,
I will get him.

[engine revving]

[sighs]
Well, what do we do now?

You might have
beat me in ping-pong..

...let's see how you do
on a snowmobile.

[engine revving]

If that's a challenge,
I accept.

Come on, Bandit!

[Bandit barking]

[engine revving]

[sniffing]

(Jonny)
Bandit, come back here!

(Jessie)
He must have gotten wind
of another raccoon.

(Jonny)
'Great! We'll be chasing Bandit
while Hadji finds Bigfoot.'

[Bandit barking]

(Jessie)
You're such a hot dog,
Jonny Quest.

(Jonny)
Jess, look at these tracks.

Bandit's gotten wind
of something alright

but it's no raccoon.

[Bandit barking]

[Bigfoot groaning]

[Bandit barking]

[Bigfoot groaning]

- Jess, it's..
- I know.

(Jessie)
'But not the same one
who broke into the compound.'

'It's too small.'

Bandit, pipe down.

[groaning]

Don't be afraid.

Yeah. We won't hurt you.

[Jonny and Jessie grunting]

I can't see a thing.

Hold it, Race.
We're right on top of it.

[footsteps]

Amazing! The creature
was intelligent enough

to find the homing device
and detach it.

But why leave it
way up here?

Unless--

(Race)
They were using it as bait.

[intense music]

There. See? We said
we wouldn't hurt you.

[breathing heavily]

[gun fires]

(Jessie)
'It's those jerks again.'

I'll try to stop them.
You get Bigfoot out of here.

[guns firing]

[engine revving]

Out of the way, kid!

It's the Bigfoot we want.
Now move!

Anything you say.

[engine revving]

Aah!

(Jonny)
Yes!

[engine revving]

[gun firing]

[intense music]

[chuckling]
I have a spot all picked out
on my trophy board for you.

Aah! Ooh.

[engine revving]

[intense music]

Guess this one's all mine.

And I'm not taking
any chances.

Not the elephant gun,
you fool! You'll cause an..

[gun fires]

(Kane)
'Avalanche!'

[rumbling]

(Race)
Stick close, guys.
This could get ugly.

Race, perhaps,
they mean us no harm.

[rumbling]

Back to the QuestCat.
Come on!

[intense music]

[rumbling]

[engine revving]

[rumbling continues]

[rumbling]

- Hang on!
- We'll never outrun it.

Wait, look!
He wants us to follow him.

(Jonny)
'Through a solid wall?'

(Jessie)
You got any better ideas?

[rumbling]

(Jonny)
Guess it wasn't so solid
after all.

(Jonny)
Must've been
some kind of hologram.

(Jessie)
Definitely.

But why?

[growling]

(Jonny)
'I hope that's a hologram.'

[growling]

[grunting]

Definitely real.

And real unfriendly.

[speaking indistinctly]

[growling]

(Jessie)
'I'm not fluent
in Bigfoot, Jonny'

but I think the little one's
trying to save us.

Yeah, but I just wish
he was a little bigger.

[speaking indistinctly]

[speaking indistinctly]

(Race)
We were lucky to survive
that avalanche.

(Hadji)
Looks like our luck
is running out.

Hang on! I'm gonna try
and back this puppy up.

[engine revving]

Oh! It seems
our luck has returned.

Yeah, this Questcat
must have nine lives.

- Whoa!
- Aah!

(Race)
Stop!

[intense music]

Oh!

Doc doesn't stand a chance
against those creatures.

We-we gotta help him.

Somehow, I have the feeling
they will not harm him.

Our little friend spoke
the same language

as that other creature

and yet, they're
different species.

[intense music]

That explains it.

I think I liked him
better with fur.

[intense music]

[music continues]

[speaking indistinctly]

I cannot wait to leave
this cursed planet

with its hostility.

Huh? You speak our language?

(Dr. Quest)
I see you've met
my son, Tala.

- Dad?
- Dr. Quest?

These two young ones helped
my son escape from hunters.

As I tried to explain,
you can't judge all humans

by the actions
of a misguided few.

How about explaining
something to me?

Like, what you're doing in
this spaceship with all these--

Extraterrestrials?

Tala and his fellow
space explorers

need my help, Jonny.

(Dr. Quest)
Even though they used
a somewhat unorthodox method

to bring me here.

Forgive us, Dr. Quest.

But our contacts with
your species over the years

have been fraught
with danger.

whoosh

We were exploring
this galaxy a century ago

when a malfunction
caused us to crash

'shattering vital circuitry
beyond repair.'

'We were forced
to wait until mankind'

'had created technology
for the repair of our ship.'

(Jessie)
Why couldn't you
just ask us for help?

At first, we tried,
but the pollution

and ozone depletion
of your planet

necessitated genetic adaptation
to protect our sensitive bodies.

So that explains the fur.

(Tala)
'Ironically, it was that fur
which caused us to be

'constantly hunted
by your species.'

(Jonny)
'They thought you were
some kind of missing link.'

It does not matter now.

We will soon be gone
thanks to your father's device.

(Kane)
I beg to differ.

You are coming with us.

[laughs]
Who needs Bigfoot?

We got aliens
and a flying saucer.

Books, talk shows..
We're going to be rich, Kane!

How did you get in here?

We followed you, my boy.

Our guard would
have stopped you.

Ha ha, couple of darts
stopped him.

[aliens growling]

[guns firing]

[aliens groaning]

[intense music]

[Deke chuckles]
Wait till we march
this menagerie into town.

Let them go.
They've waited years to go home.

Not my problem.

[dramatic music]

[guns firing]

Get this mongrel off me!

- Eh!
- Ah!

[Bandit growling]

Uh!

No!

These things cause
too much trouble on your world.

[Bandit growling]

hya

[grunting]

[intense music]

Thank you for your help,
Dr. Quest.

You too, Bannon.

- Good luck, Tala.
- Take care.

Guess this is goodbye.

Yeah. Thanks for saving us
from that avalanche.

Welcome.

[pleasant music]

You fools!

You're letting
a fortune get away.

Let who get away?

Did you see anything, Hadji?

- I did not see a thing, Jonny.
- Me either.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

See? You should have been
shooting video instead of guns.

[whirring]

(Iris)
'Welcome to Quest world.'

'Warning. Warning.'

'Virus detected. Warning.'

'Warning.'

'Acknowledged.
Running anti-virus program.'

'Searching.'

'Searching.'

'Virus imported
by Jeremiah Surd.'

'Terminating virus.'

'Surd virus destroyed.'

'Thank you for accessing
Quest world utilities.'
