Attaboy, Bandit!
Keep chasing me.

'You're gonna be
in great shape.'

'Race, check this out!'

Hey, careful.

Isn't that hoverboard
still suppose to be--

Experimental?



Nah. It works fine.
See?

[boom]
Whoa!

[yelps]

bam

Ugh!
Oh, no!

Jonny.

Uh, I'm sure it'll buff out.

(Dr. Quest)
'Jonny, didn't I tell you
that that hoverboard'

was off limits until
I got the glitches out?

But, dad,
it was working great.

Forget it.
Accidents happen, doc.

I just hope Jess didn't
get into any..

Well, Hadji,
how did she do?

Quite well.



She will pass her driving
test with no problem.

Hadji is a great
teacher, dad.

I don't see why you didn't let
Race teach you. He's the best.

Compliments
will get you nowhere.

I don't know, he-he
makes me kinda nervous.

One day though, I want
to take this for a spin.

- Hey, is this a ding?
- Don't ask.

Uh-oh. You're in trouble
now, Jonny Quest.

Jesse...still interested
in helping me

and Hadji in the V.R. lab?

You bet!
Later, guys.

Later is right.

I won't even get my learner's
permit for another year.

Thanks, Bandit.
But I'm done.

Time for a little R and R
behind the wheel.

My day off, you know.

- Have a good time.
- Oh, I will.

- Here catch.
- What?

B-b-but I thought you were..

Mad? Get in.

Unless you're nervous
to drive this thing.

No way!

[barking]

Sorry, Bandit.
No dogs allowed.

Nothing personal.

[engine idling]

I do not believe it.

(Jesse)
'He didn't have a permit.'

(Race)
'Now, take it easy.'

Alright, Race.

[tires screeching]

[upbeat music]

He never lets me
drive his car.

All things come to
those who wait, Jesse.

But Race knows waiting is not
one of Jonny's strong points.

(Race)
I'm letting you drive
till the end of the property.

(female automated voice)
'Please fasten
driver's shoulder restrain.'

Huh?
That's Jesse's voice.

Dr. Quest and I synthesized it
when we started converting

this baby into a smart car.

Cool!

'So, how am I doing?'

(Race)
'Well, I haven't ejected, yet.'

(female automated voice)
'Please do not ride the brake.'

Jesse's just learning, and now
she's telling me how to drive.

That's the public road, Jonny.
Better pullover.

[engine idling]

I'll take it from here.

[helicopter hovering]

(Race)
'Jonny, get back!'

[firing]

Drive!

[dramatic music]

Bannon's not alone.
A boy is with him.

Just stop the car, Lorenzo,
and bring them both to me.

And remember,
we want Bannon unharmed.

(Jonny)
Race, we've got a problem.

We're not on private
property anymore.

I know.
Keep your eyes on the road.

[gun firing]

[gunfire]

(Lorenzo)
'Surd, Bannon's got
armor plated tires.'

That does it!

I spent a fortune
on this paint job.

[music continues]

[explosion]

Sunroof shield!

[firing continues]

(female automated voice)
'Sunroof shield deployed.'

Ah!
Ugh!

[tires screeching]
Steady, Jonny.

[music continues]

[tires screeching]

[horn blaring]

[horn blaring]

- Race!
- Evasive action. Emergency.

(female automated voice)
'Radar indicates clearance.'

[whooshing]
Whoa!

(female automated voice)
'At maximum acceleration.'

'Reinstating manual control.'

(Race)
'Take over, Jonny.'
I'll do a choper check topside.

[music continues]

zap

- Argh!
- Aah!

(female automated voice)
'Electrical system
loosing power.'

(Jonny)
'Race, we're slowing down.'

Ohh!

[horn blaring]

crash

[tires screeching]

Race?

Lorenzo, you fool!
I said we wanted him unharmed.

Hey, I was just trying
to stop the car.

[whirring]

[glass shatters]

You can relax now, Julia.
I got him.

Both of 'em.

(Julia on radio)
'Don't take any chances.
You know what to do.'

[intense music]

Whoever did this,
better have good insurance.

Lorenzo. Still a lackey
for that maniac, Surd?

Or has he finally
promoted you to toady?

Ha. Wise guy, huh?

Pleasant dreams, Bannon.

[both coughing]

[helicopter whirring]

[dramatic music]

Wake up, Bannon.
It's time to play.

Ugh!

Please, Mr. Bannon

don't waste your energy
on these restrains.

Let the boy go.
It's me you want.

But of course it is.
After all you were the man

responsible for my
being like this.

No, Surd.
You're responsible.

I didn't tell you to threaten
Chicago with nerve gas.

'If you hadn't, that SWAT team
wouldn't bust into your lab.'

That SWAT guy's orders
were shoot to kill.

Race saved your life, Surd.

So, I could spend the rest
of my life in a metal shell?

Thanks you so much,
Mr. Bannon.

But now,
it's pay back time.

We're going to play a little
game in Quest World, Bannon.

(Surd)
But I've added a new wrinkle
to my cyber playground.

And all you get to do,
is watch, kid.

In this game, winner takes all.
And I do mean all.

[dramatic music]

I hate
computer games, Surd.

Ugh!

Uhh! Uhh!

[grunting]

bam

Arr-r!

Aah!

(Surd)
'Only a game,
yet the pain is real.'

Thanks to my new
Neuro-Cyber Optics program.

But you ain't felt
nothing, yet.

bam

Race!
Aah!

I'll let you watch, boy..

...but don't think
you can stop me.

I'm on a roll!

[engine revving]

Uhh-ohh-ah!

(Surd)
'Enjoying my version
of Quest World, Mr. Bannon?'

'Don't worry, it will
all be over momentarily.'

[laughing]

zap

[Race screaming]

thud

Race!
Are you okay?

Never felt better.

[gasps]

Jonny.

Jonny..

No!
No!

(Race mumbling)
Jonny..

No!

(Race)
It can't be.

[Surd laughing]

Welcome to my nightmare,
Mr. Bannon.

That's amazing, Surd.

You actually swapped
bodies with the guy.

I prefer to call it a
Neuro-Cyber transfer, Lorenzo.

But yes, it did
work perfectly.

And you couldn't have
picked a finer body.

Control yourself, Julia.
We can celebrate later.

Now, release me.
There's work to be done.

[dramatic music]

You'll never get away
with this, Surd!

[laughing]

I already have, boy.

And now, I must get rid
of the one person

with enough intelligence
to reverse the process.

Dr. Benton Quest.

No!

Yes. I'm going to pay
Benton Quest a brief visit.

His last.

You see, the good doctor
will never suspect

his loyal and trusted friend..

[clearing throat]

...Race Bannon.

- No-o-o!
- 'Ha ha ha.'

[intense music]

[engine revving]

Keep him in camera range.
But stay back, Lorenzo.

We don't want Quest
suspecting anything.

Until it's too late.

Roger.

And don't worry, Julia,
I'll keep an eye on Surd.

Uh, Bannon, for you.

[helicopter whirring]

- Nice set of wheels.
- Likewise.

[engines idling]

(Race)
He's not gonna
stay with you, Julia.

He doesn't need you anymore.

Shut up, Bannon!
You don't know him.

He's loyal to me.

Once, you and Quest
are out of the way

we'll be together the way
I always dreamed we'd be.

[somber music]

I'm getting worried,
Jesse.

Jonny and Race
should've been back.

Don't be paranoid, Hadji.
They'll be back.

We could go out
looking for them.

'You could drive.'

Oh, well, if you
put it that way.

[engine revving]

It won't be long, now.
Fall back, Lorenzo.

You're going to
lose him, Julia.

- He doesn't need--
- He needs me!

He's always needed me.

Yes, when he was
in this chair, Julia.

But he has a strong,
healthy body now.

He can have any
woman he wants.

Yeah, the girls are always
falling for Race.

You keep quiet!
Both of you!

Ugh!

Guess I must have pushed
the right buttons.

And not a minute
too soon.

Dad, are you okay?

What happened to your car?

Nothing.

[clears throat]

Nothing.
It drives fine.

Fine?
Look at these dents.

Where is Jonny, Race?

I dropped him..

...at the movies.

The movies?

He's probably glued
to his seat.

He could've at least called,
asked us to come.

Now, I must see Quest..

...alone.

Quest?

He's right where
he's been all day.

In the lab, of course.

No, the lighthouse.

- Dad, what is--
- This won't take long.

[intense music]

Hurry, Jonny.

[music continues]

click

(Race)
Surd's heading
for the lighthouse.

You have to warn the doc
that I'm...not me.

If he's still at a computer,
maybe I can hack into it.

'There's not much time.'

- Jonny, he's in.
- So am I.

Dad, watch out.

[clicking]

[intense music]

Surd is in Race's...body.

Surd!

You're son
is resourceful, doc.

Whoa!
Ooh!

But too late!

thwack

[grunts]

I intend to stay
in this body.

With you gone, no one
will be able to stop me.

[Bandit barking]

Ow!

Stupid mutt!

[yelps]

Argh!

Race, what are you doing?

(Dr. Quest)
'It's Surd.'

He's inhabiting Race's body.

Ugh!

- Ohh!
- Uh! Hah!

Dad, don't!

bam

thud

[music continues]

Aah-h!

You'll have to do
better than that.

thud

- Sorry.
- Thanks, Hadji.

Ho!
I think I broke my hand.

Where did you learn
those moves, Dr. Quest?

Well, can't spend
all those years

with Race Bannon, and not
pick up a few pointers.

If Surd is in dad's body,
then that means my dad is..

[gasps]

Dad, please respond.

"Thanks for the warning.
We're all fine."

[Race sighs]

Nice going, Jonny.

My dad. Dr. Quest, can we
reverse the process?

If I can access
Surd's programing..

"Can you download Surd's
Cyberswitch program

"into the lighthouse computer?"

I think so, dad.

Well, can you?

Give me a few minutes, Jesse.

You and Hadji prepare
the V.R. helmet.

[intense music]

Logging on.
We're going hot.

I hope this works.

Your dad's never
let me down, yet.

[intense music]

[groaning]

Dad?

Ah!

Hey, who clipped me
on the jaw?

Sorry about that, Race.
But I had to defend myself.

Ah!
My head.

I-I'm regretfully
responsible for the head.

Just untie me, guys.

And you'd better warn, Jonny.

If I'm back,
then, so is Surd.

"Transfer complete."
Yes!

I'm outta here.

[somber music]

Huh?
Off!

Where do you think
you're going, boy?

Just sit there,
and shut up.

And this is for you, Bannon.

[groaning]

Julia, no!
It's me, Jeremiah.

I'm back in this
twisted shell.

[helicopter whirring]

[whirring continues]

- So, is Quest dead?
- As a doornail.

Old guy put up
quite a fight, though.

(Julia on radio)
'Lorenzo, return at once.'

'The body swap failed,
but we still have the boy.'

Not for long, you don't.

Aah!

[helicopter whirring]

- Be careful, dad.
- Don't worry, Jessie.

(Hadji)
'Our worries have just begun.'

'Look at this!
Surd's transmitting something.'

"You managed to spoil
my new choice of body.

"You'll be pleased to learn
I've made another selection.

- Your son."
- Huh!

(Surd)
A little young, perhaps.

But I trust you'll wait
for me, Julia.

[beeping]

Surd's blocked access
to his mainframe.

(Julia)
'All secure.'

Instituting
V.R. program...now.

[beaming]

(Jonny)
'You won't defeat me
as easily as Race, Surd.'

- This is my turf.
- We'll see about that, boy!

Argh!

You can't escape me, boy!

Aah!

[helicopter whirring]

crash

(Julia)
Lorenzo, what took you so long?

- Ohh!
- I had to find the place.

I'll make you sorry
you came back, Bannon!

Those things
are dangerous, lady.

Ye-aah!

Aaah! Ugh!

[engine revving]

Game over, boy.

You lose!

No! You lose.

whoosh

Take that, Surd!
And that!

[groaning]

What do you know?

Jonny's kickin' his butt
all over cyberspace.

Oh, Race, I was just
about to clean his clock.

Give him a break, Jonny.
He's finished.

Besides, we have
to leave something

for the police to arrest.

[chattering on radio]

I'm sure glad
I ended up with you

and not Jeremiah Surd
for a father.

I should have let him keep
my body a little longer.

Like until he paid
to fix my head

my jaw and my car.

Hey, look at it
this way, Race.

It couldn't get any worse.

(Race)
'Yeah.'

[hissing]

(female automated voice)
'Tire pressure, low.
Oil pressure, low.'

- 'Steering fluid, low.'
- Oh, man!

(female automated voice)
'Brake fluid, low.'
