1. Oh! There's the ocean
up ahead, Speed!
Copy !req
2. Look up there!
Copy !req
3. Isn't that the
Masked Racer's car
Copy !req
4. being unloaded from the ship?
Copy !req
5. This means there'll
be trouble in the race.
Copy !req
6. Every time that Masked
Racer's been in a race,
Copy !req
7. there've been crashes.
Copy !req
8. So there may be some more today!
Copy !req
9. But that's really why I came.
Copy !req
10. I heard that sometimes
he causes the cars to crash.
Copy !req
11. But nobody's been
able to prove that.
Copy !req
12. Well, maybe this time,
we can catch him at it.
Copy !req
13. So let's keep a
close look at him, hm?
Copy !req
14. He looks mysterious in that
mask and sort of handsome.
Copy !req
15. He drives faster than a rocket
Copy !req
16. and he won the Grand Prix at
Le Mans four years in a row.
Copy !req
17. He's won just about every
race he's ever entered.
Copy !req
18. No kidding.
Copy !req
19. He's raced against some of
the top racers in the world,
Copy !req
20. and he's beaten 'em
just like that!
Copy !req
21. I hope I get to see what
he really looks like.
Copy !req
22. Sorry, but nobody's
ever seen him.
Copy !req
23. And they don't know his
name or where he's from.
Copy !req
24. Masked Racer? Who do you
think'll win the big race?
Copy !req
25. Do you think any of the cars
will crash in the race today?
Copy !req
26. Ah-hah... You won't
tell us then, huh?
Copy !req
27. H-Hold it, Masked Racer.
Let me get another shot.
Copy !req
28. Hey! We've got more questions!
Copy !req
29. Well... He didn't give us
very much information.
Copy !req
30. Move aside!
Copy !req
31. Mr. Masked Racer,
my name is Wiley.
Copy !req
32. And I'm on the committee
of the Trans Country Race.
Copy !req
33. I'd like to talk to you
for a few minutes,
Copy !req
34. if you've got the time.
Copy !req
35. A thousand
smackers! What do ya say?
Copy !req
36. Mr. Racer, every penny
of that can be yours.
Copy !req
37. Hmm, we could buy a lotta candy!
Copy !req
38. We could buy all the
candy in the world!
Copy !req
39. My Alpha Team has got to win
Copy !req
40. the great Trans Country race!
Copy !req
41. With the Masked Racer
in the race,
Copy !req
42. my team won't have a chance
Copy !req
43. unless you let your son,
Speed Racer, join my boys.
Copy !req
44. With him on our side, we'd be
able to beat any other team.
Copy !req
45. Two thousand smackers!
Copy !req
46. Huh? Wow!
Copy !req
47. Well? Will you let
Copy !req
48. Speed Racer on the
Alpha Team for 2,000?
Copy !req
49. What's funny, huh?
Copy !req
50. Why're you laughing?
Copy !req
51. What're you laughing about?
Copy !req
52. Heh, something's funny, I guess!
Copy !req
53. What's funny?
Copy !req
54. I'm laughing because you're
offering only a measly 2,000
Copy !req
55. to Mr. Racer so Speed
will race on your team,
Copy !req
56. while I'll pay 3,000
for him to be on my team!
Copy !req
57. Well, how about it,
Mr. Racer? I'll pay $3,000.
Copy !req
58. Ooh!
Copy !req
59. And here it is.
Copy !req
60. I'll even
throw in an extra 50 cents.
Copy !req
61. Only 3,000?
Copy !req
62. I'll make it four.
Copy !req
63. How 'bout it, Mr. Racer?
Copy !req
64. Oh, boy! The price is
gettin' better and better!
Copy !req
65. I hope it keeps goin' up!
Copy !req
66. I'm willing to make it
5,000 and 50 cents.
Copy !req
67. There!
Copy !req
68. The sky must be the limit.
Keep holdin' out, Pops.
Copy !req
69. Maybe they'll offer a million!
Copy !req
70. Ten thousand!
Copy !req
71. Wow! They're still goin' up!
Copy !req
72. Twenty thousand and 50 cents.
Copy !req
73. I'll top that!
Copy !req
74. I'll make it 50,000, okay? Huh?
Copy !req
75. Keep the money!
Copy !req
76. Speed won't be on either
one of your teams!
Copy !req
77. Too bad! Now we won't
be able to buy any candy!
Copy !req
78. The Masked Racer
has a very good chance
Copy !req
79. of winning the Trans Country
Race, hasn't he, Speed?
Copy !req
80. Uh-huh, I suppose so.
Copy !req
81. But would he really win?
Copy !req
82. What are you hinting?
Copy !req
83. What about you
being in the race?
Copy !req
84. Why not enter it, Speed?
Copy !req
85. I'm sure you're the only one
who could beat the Masked Racer.
Copy !req
86. Maybe I am, but maybe I'm not.
Copy !req
87. Anyway, we'll never know
because I'm not racing.
Copy !req
88. Wouldn't ya for me?
Copy !req
89. As a special favor for me?
Copy !req
90. Oh, but it'll make my
father angry, Trixie.
Copy !req
91. If I know him, he'll calm down
Copy !req
92. once he sees you're
going to win.
Copy !req
93. Well, Speed, I'm gonna win.
Copy !req
94. I just signed up with Mr. Fixer
of the Alpha Racing Team.
Copy !req
95. We have more spirit
and the fastest cars,
Copy !req
96. so how can we lose?
Copy !req
97. We're gonna beat
the Masked Racer!
Copy !req
98. We're gonna win the big race!
Copy !req
99. Too bad your father didn't
take all that money
Copy !req
100. Mr. Fixer offered for you
to join the Alpha Team.
Copy !req
101. Well, I'll see ya after I win.
Copy !req
102. Good luck, Slick.
Copy !req
103. Ooh!
Copy !req
104. He deserves to lose!
Copy !req
105. And now, for the
world of sports.
Copy !req
106. The famous Trans Country Auto
Race will be starting very soon.
Copy !req
107. The race, one of
the most grueling
Copy !req
108. and dangerous in the world,
Copy !req
109. will be run over a
course of 300 miles.
Copy !req
110. Participating will be
some of the top champions
Copy !req
111. in the sport of motor racing.
Copy !req
112. Let me introduce a
few of the most famous
Copy !req
113. to our viewing audience.
Copy !req
114. Here is the top driver for the
Alpha Team, Mr. Zoomer Slick.
Copy !req
115. He's in it?
Copy !req
116. And this is Driver X,
Copy !req
117. known throughout the world
as the Masked Racer.
Copy !req
118. He has been known to bring
bad luck to many races.
Copy !req
119. He may be known to bring
bad luck to races,
Copy !req
120. but he's one of the best
drivers I've ever seen.
Copy !req
121. In addition to the Masked Racer,
Copy !req
122. one of the top contenders
and a last-minute entry
Copy !req
123. is a newcomer, Speed Racer.
Copy !req
124. Speed!
Copy !req
125. Speed, who has raced
in very few meets so far,
Copy !req
126. will enter this race
driving the Mach 5,
Copy !req
127. a special racing car designed
by his father, Pops Racer.
Copy !req
128. The race is expected to
be a close competition
Copy !req
129. between Speed and
the Masked Racer.
Copy !req
130. You're not supposed
to be in the race!
Copy !req
131. Here we go again,
Pops blowing another gasket.
Copy !req
132. Speed, I don't want
you in that race.
Copy !req
133. Under no circumstances
are you to enter.
Copy !req
134. Understand?
Copy !req
135. Now, dear!
Copy !req
136. Here we go, Pops'll
change his mind.
Copy !req
137. I'm only trying to do
what's best for you, son.
Copy !req
138. You don't have enough
skill and experience yet
Copy !req
139. to race against
the Masked Racer.
Copy !req
140. It requires the
utmost technical skill.
Copy !req
141. Sharp and well-trained
reflexes are necessary
Copy !req
142. over every inch of
that racing course.
Copy !req
143. Let me tell you about
your older brother, Rex,
Copy !req
144. who left home many years ago.
Copy !req
145. He and I had a bad argument.
Copy !req
146. It all started when
he was 18 years old,
Copy !req
147. the same age you are now.
Copy !req
148. He joined a race without
asking my permission.
Copy !req
149. And he used a car I
spent years building.
Copy !req
150. I win... I win!
Copy !req
151. You'll smash!
Copy !req
152. You have to get outta that car!
Copy !req
153. Rex, are you all right?
Copy !req
154. I'm okay, Pops.
Copy !req
155. The kid looks great.
He wasn't scratched!
Copy !req
156. I'm glad you
weren't hurt, my boy.
Copy !req
157. I'm very sorry, Pops.
Copy !req
158. A few yards further and I
would have been the winner.
Copy !req
159. I did such a great
job at driving,
Copy !req
160. I deserve to win the race.
Copy !req
161. Don't try to tell me that!
Copy !req
162. You deserve to lose the race
Copy !req
163. because your driving
technique was very bad!
Copy !req
164. What do you mean "bad"?
Copy !req
165. I would've won if my car
hadn't gone into a spin!
Copy !req
166. I know that, Rex!
Copy !req
167. But if you had more experience,
that wouldn't have happened.
Copy !req
168. Listen, Pops, I'm
already an expert.
Copy !req
169. But my beautiful new car
is all smashed up!
Copy !req
170. What about that, huh?
Copy !req
171. I'm sorry, but it
was just an accident.
Copy !req
172. I didn't mean to do it.
Copy !req
173. I don't wanna find you behind
the wheel of a car again,
Copy !req
174. and that's final!
Copy !req
175. Then I'll have to become
a champion without you,
Copy !req
176. so I'm leaving home.
Copy !req
177. Good bye, Pops.
Copy !req
178. You'll never be a champion, Rex!
Copy !req
179. Mark my words, without
skill and experience,
Copy !req
180. you'll never get anywhere
in the world of racing!
Copy !req
181. And I never saw your
brother Rex again.
Copy !req
182. And that's why I say
you need experience.
Copy !req
183. But, Pops, don't you know that
Copy !req
184. Speed's the best racing
car driver in the world?
Copy !req
185. Well, I'm the one
who trained him!
Copy !req
186. I didn't ask you, Spritle!
Copy !req
187. Well, it's getting pretty late
and it's time for bed, boys.
Copy !req
188. Good night, Spritle.
Good night, Speed.
Copy !req
189. - Night, Mother.
- Nighty night.
Copy !req
190. Night, Pops.
Copy !req
191. Aw, Rex, where are you?
Copy !req
192. Why don't you come home
again where you belong?
Copy !req
193. Mom and Pops miss you.
And so do I.
Copy !req
194. I wish you could be here when I
race against the Masked Racer.
Copy !req
195. But, wherever you are,
wish me luck.
Copy !req
196. I've got to beat him.
I've got to!
Copy !req
197. Meanwhile,
in a secret hotel room,
Copy !req
198. the secret head
of the Alpha Team,
Copy !req
199. Mr. Wiley, is holding
a secret conference.
Copy !req
200. I want my team to win
the Trans Country Race
Copy !req
201. no matter what the price,
do you understand, Slick? Hm?
Copy !req
202. You can count on me, Mr. Wiley.
Copy !req
203. It doesn't matter to me
who's in the race,
Copy !req
204. the Masked Racer or Speed
Racer, I'm gonna beat 'em!
Copy !req
205. Smart boy.
Copy !req
206. But I've heard that the
Masked Racer's pretty tricky.
Copy !req
207. No matter what trick he pulls,
I'll be pulling it first.
Copy !req
208. Don't worry, I'll beat him.
Copy !req
209. That's the
dirty fighting spirit.
Copy !req
210. But when I do win, I expect
to be paid a lotta money!
Copy !req
211. I promise, Slick, you'll
get everything you deserve.
Copy !req
212. Hey, Mr. Wiley, I just found
out that the Masked Racer
Copy !req
213. is staying at
the hotel, sleepin'.
Copy !req
214. He didn't make any
plans to beat us.
Copy !req
215. So?
Copy !req
216. So, we better make
some plans to beat him!
Copy !req
217. Don't worry.
Copy !req
218. When I'm out on track
in the middle of the race,
Copy !req
219. I'll do my stuff, and he
won't know what hit him!
Copy !req
220. Good luck, Slick.
Copy !req
221. Number 7, driven
by the Masked Racer,
Copy !req
222. is beating Speed,
driving the Mach 5!
Copy !req
223. Now, they're neck-and-neck,
Copy !req
224. and the Masked Racer is
trying to make Speed crash!
Copy !req
225. They both crash!
Copy !req
226. The Masked Racer!
Copy !req
227. Hide!
Copy !req
228. Don't be afraid.
Copy !req
229. I-I'm not.
Copy !req
230. Isn't your name Spritle?
Copy !req
231. That's what it is, and
I'm stronger than I look!
Copy !req
232. So watch out!
Copy !req
233. I will, Spritle!
Copy !req
234. What'd you come here for?
Copy !req
235. To ask you
to do something for me.
Copy !req
236. I want you to give this
letter to your brother, Speed.
Copy !req
237. Give the letter to my brother?
Copy !req
238. I don't get it. Why don't you
give it to him yourself?
Copy !req
239. I don't want
anybody to know about it.
Copy !req
240. Please take it.
Copy !req
241. Well, why should I?
Copy !req
242. After all, I'm not the mail man!
Copy !req
243. I'll give you some candy.
Copy !req
244. I'll take it!
Copy !req
245. Spritle! Spritle!
Copy !req
246. Now, be a good boy, Spritle.
Copy !req
247. Who was that?
Copy !req
248. Him? Just somebody who was lost.
Copy !req
249. He was looking for
a post office,
Copy !req
250. and I told him
which route to take.
Copy !req
251. Chim Chim, come back!
Copy !req
252. That's my candy!
Copy !req
253. Speed, Speed!
A letter for you! Look, Speed!
Copy !req
254. Here, Speed. A letter was given
to me by the Masked Racer.
Copy !req
255. Huh, the Masked Racer?
Copy !req
256. What does it say, Speed?
Copy !req
257. It doesn't have anything to do
with you, Spritle. It's private.
Copy !req
258. And you mustn't tell anybody
about it. Do you promise?
Copy !req
259. Okay.
Copy !req
260. I've got to be in that race.
Copy !req
261. I've got to beat
the Masked Racer.
Copy !req
262. And I know I can do it.
Copy !req
263. But Pops says I
need more experience.
Copy !req
264. Well, I'll go to the track now
and I'll get experience!
Copy !req
265. You! What are
you doing here, Speed?
Copy !req
266. Practicing.
Copy !req
267. You must not be in the race!
Copy !req
268. I will be! And I can
beat you; I'll prove it!
Copy !req
269. Wait!
Copy !req
270. Visibility is
nearly down to zero
Copy !req
271. as Speed and Racer X race
blindly through the night.
Copy !req
272. One wrong turn, and it will
be the end for either of them.
Copy !req
273. And the forecast
for the day of the big race
Copy !req
274. is still uncertain.
Copy !req
275. Right now, we're in the center
of a low, low-pressure area,
Copy !req
276. which is bringing heavy
rains and high winds.
Copy !req
277. At sea, the waves
are 30 feet high,
Copy !req
278. and the tide is still rising.
Copy !req
279. Driving conditions
are extremely hazardous.
Copy !req
280. Stay off the roads tonight.
Copy !req
281. Speed!
Copy !req
282. The storm grows worse,
Copy !req
283. and the road more dangerous.
Copy !req
284. Now, Speed barely manages to
Copy !req
285. keep the Mach 5 from
skidding into disaster.
Copy !req
286. Be sure to see
the next thrilling episode
Copy !req
287. of Speed Racer!
Copy !req
