Transcript for The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest series episode .

Chicago 1978
''2:45 AM. A phone rings, and Race answers it. ''

''Race snaps his fingers to get the attention of his team. Two men work at computers.''

Note: It's unclear if Surd says "then" or if he calls Race "Ben".

One of Race's team holds up a sign to him: "Need three minutes".

On the other end of the phone, Surd is in his own private base before computer equipment.

Surd pulls a few controls on his systems.

''The line goes dead - Surd has hung up. One of Race's teammates holds up a scrap of paper in success.''

Chicago streets
A team of vehicles race down the Chicago streets.

''The vehicles stop at the location. Race steps out of a car with a large gun. His team also gets out, ready.''

Race's team begin boarding a ship docked at the pier.

Surd's ship
Inside the ship, the boarding is seen on security cameras, monitored by Julia.

Julia distributes weapons to their team.

''Julia points in the direction for Lorenzo to go. All men go as instructed.''

She kisses him on the cheek.

''Elsewhere, two of Race's men walk through the ship. One steps into a laser, triggering an explosion that kills him and his partner.''

''Elsewhere, Race holds up a fist to halt his team. Two of Surd's men appear and begin firing, as Race and his men drop to the ground for cover. A firefight ensues.''

''A helicopter appears, putting a light on the deck to reveal the men firing at Race's team. Another of Surd's men fires at the helicopter, destroying it. The name of the ship is shown as the helicopter goes down: the Bella Fortuna.''

''Race proceeds, dodging fire, and knocking a shelf onto some of Surd's henchmen. He faces Julia and drops a net on her. The henchman who took down the helicopter fires at Race, but Race knocks him into a pile of crates.''

Surd is about to push a button on his console when Race appears, holding him at gunpoint.

Race puts down his weapon.

Two of Race's men drop into the room.

Surd turns to his console to push a button, but he's shot before he can.

Surd reaches for the console.

''Race knocks the man as he fires at Surd. Surd collapses.''

Surd's eyes close.

Chicago present day
''A wrecking ball is destroying a building at a construction site. It hits a wall, and green gas begins to leak out. The construction workers collapse, choking in the gas.''

Quest Compound
Race has a video call with Commander Bennett, with the rest of the Quest Team present.

Race leans back in his chair and sighs.

Chicago
''Quest Map. Departure: Quest Compound, Maine. Destination: Chicago, Illinois. The Quest Jet is shown to be used.''

Outside the dome containing the leaked gas, Race and Dr. Quest are suited up.

Race opens the door in the dome and they enter.

At the Quest Compound, Jonny, Jessie, and Hadji monitor them on cameras.

''While walking through the containment area, Benton trips a trap, and the doors seal behind them. A timer starts counting down from 24:00:00 and gas is expelled into the room.''

Bennett appears on a video feed.

Race looks under a table and whistles.

They look at the timer, now at 23:45:15.

They begin looking through the panels in the room.

Jessie begins working on her computer.

Hadji begins working at his own computer station.

Belle Isle Institute For The Insane
''Jonny, Jessie, and Hadji row out to Belle Isle. Lightning strikes in the sky, illuminating the sign above the gate reading "Belle Isle Asylum".''

At the gates, the three look in.

Jonny opens a fuse panel.

The lightning strikes.

They all turn their fuses, causing the electricity to go down in the institute.

Inside, there's commotion about the blackout.

''The workman walks off with a flashlight. Jonny, Jessie, and Hadji sneak past him down the hall. Jessie finds a keyring. They enter the room of Jeremiah Surd, and find him sitting in a wheelchair.''

''Jonny pulls out a disk and inserts it into a laptop. Jessie places the Questworld earpiece on Surd. Hadji begins typing on the laptop.''

''A countdown from 5 appears on the computer screen. Surd enters the virtual reality world of Questworld, where he has full use of his body.''

Questworld ends, and Surd is back in his room, in his wheelchair.

The three kids all nod.

Quest Compound
''Back at the Compound, they log Surd into Questworld again. Jonny monitors it on his computer console.''

Surd begins doing something unusual in Questworld, apparently leaving the regular Questworld system.

Julia's room
''A phone rings. A woman answers it from bed.''

Quest Compound
Questworld is shut down, bringing Surd back.

Surd sighs.

Chicago containment area
Dr. Quest and Race are trying to sort through the cables.

''Race cuts the wire. There's an explosion. ''

Quest Compound
''Surd laughs. The door to the room is broken down and tear gas is thrown in. A man with a gun in a gas mask enters as the kids cough.''

Quest Compound
The man goes after Jonny, but Jonny throws him over his shoulder.

She knocks down Jonny.

''Julia and Lorenzo get Surd out, leaving the kids behind, coughing from the tear gas. The gas dissipates, and Jessie and Hadji help Jonny up.''

Chicago containment area
Race is sitting, his hand clamped over his upper arm.

At the Quest Compound, the visual feed comes back up, allowing them all to see each other.

Dr. Quest holds up tape to seal Race's suit.

Race moves his hand and Dr. Quest covers the tear with tape.

Dr. Quest checks the timer: 08:06:03.

Quest Compound
Jonny and Jessie put on the Questworld visor.

Jonny and Jessie appear in Questworld, but it's different than before.

Lights come down the tunnel and begin to attack Jonny and Jessie.

Surd appears on Hadji's monitor.

Hadji gets up and pulls sections out of the computer, shutting down Questworld and bringing back Jonny and Jessie.

He looks at a bruise on Jessie's arm, which she craddles.

Chicago containment area
In a vehicle outside the containment area, Bennett speaks with Race.

The time shows 04:02:52.

Quest Compound
Jonny and Jessie are back in the chairs with the visors on.

Jonny and Jessie re-enter Questworld.

They walk down a hall of mirrors into a room, and Surd comes up on screens all around them.

The power sled materializes in front of them, and Jessie and Jonny both hop on.

Jonny and Jessie take off on the sled.

The sonic detonator appears, and Jonny activates it.

Jessie and Jonny take off on the power sled.

Surd tries to get to the bomb, but he keeps finding its reflections instead.

Jonny and Jessie speed away as the sonic detonator reforms, close to detonating.

''Surd is logged out just as the sonic detonator goes off. Jessie and Jonny also log out.''

I-95 South
''A truck with an ice cream cone on the side drives down the interstate. Surd is in the back with Julia.''

Surd re-enters Questworld.

Quest Compound
A red light comes up on a map.

The kids take off road four-wheeler ATVs across country to catch up with Surd.

Truck stop
''At "Big Al's Dines Truck Stop", the truck is parked. Lorenzo sleeps in the driver's seat. The kids sneak to the back and Hadji checks his handheld.''

''The open the back of the truck, revealing Surd with the Questworld visor on. Jonny pulls it off him.''

Lorenzo points a gun at them, but the kids stand behind Surd and his large wheel chair.

Chicago containment area
''The timer is at 00:01:00. Dr. Quest is pulling wires from a cable.''

Dr. Quest connects the red and yellow wires.

In the truck, Jonny turns from the monitor to hold the phone to Surd.

''The timer is at 00:00:33. Dr. Quest puts the wire-cutter to the orange wire.''

''The timer is at 00:00:03... 02... 01. Dr. Quest cuts the blue wire. There's an explosion.''

In the shock, Lorenzo holds up Jonny.

''Julia gets in the driver's seat and starts to drive. Jonny tackles Lorenzo with Hadji and Jessie's help.''

The three kids jump from the moving truck, which drives up.

Jonny picks the phone from the ground.
