1. Africa.
Copy !req
2. That's quite a fascinating
mountain out there, isn't it?
Copy !req
3. Of late, I've been hearing
some very weird stories
Copy !req
4. about that mountain.
Have you heard them?
Copy !req
5. No, sir, I haven't. Tell me,
what have you heard about it?
Copy !req
6. Well, I don't know
whether it's true or not,
Copy !req
7. but it's been rather
reliably reported that
Copy !req
8. a huge monster lives somewhere
within that mountain.
Copy !req
9. A monster in this day and age?
Copy !req
10. I find it hard to believe,
but it could be true, I guess.
Copy !req
11. Who are you, sir?
Copy !req
12. Professor Carnivory.
I'm a biologist.
Copy !req
13. I've come to Africa
to look for the monster.
Copy !req
14. Who are you, young man?
Copy !req
15. Speed Racer's my name.
Copy !req
16. What are you doing in Africa?
Copy !req
17. I'm here for a race.
Copy !req
18. I wish I could look for
the monster with you,
Copy !req
19. but I have only a couple of days
before the race starts.
Copy !req
20. Tell me, just where will
the race be held, Mr. Racer?
Copy !req
21. Across the entire
African continent.
Copy !req
22. I've just finished checking
the course all the way,
Copy !req
23. and I'm on my way back
to the starting point now.
Copy !req
24. Oh, you're going
to drive that course
Copy !req
25. through that dangerous land
all by yourself?
Copy !req
26. No, sir.
Copy !req
27. My brother Spritle
and my friend Trixie
Copy !req
28. are waiting for me at Nairobi.
Copy !req
29. Don't move!
Copy !req
30. From now on,
you're our prisoners.
Copy !req
31. We're going to jump out
and we're taking you
Copy !req
32. with us, Professor.
Copy !req
33. What's the meaning of this?
Who are you men?
Copy !req
34. We are exiles of
the country of Bangdabongo.
Copy !req
35. You're from Bangdabongo?
Copy !req
36. That's right.
Copy !req
37. Don't tell me,
Professor Carnivory,
Copy !req
38. that you've forgotten that
up until 20 years ago,
Copy !req
39. you were one of our countrymen.
Copy !req
40. But our country was
taken over 20 years ago;
Copy !req
41. it doesn't exist anymore!
Copy !req
42. But it still exists in exile.
Copy !req
43. We belong to an organization
Copy !req
44. dedicated to
liberating our country.
Copy !req
45. Liberating it?
Copy !req
46. Yes, Professor!
And we have a plan.
Copy !req
47. But we cannot carry out
the plan to free our country
Copy !req
48. by ourselves, Professor.
We need your help.
Copy !req
49. You need my help?
Copy !req
50. But I'm a biologist.
What can I do to help?
Copy !req
51. You'll find how we need you.
Copy !req
52. But you've got to
come with us first.
Copy !req
53. We're going to make
a parachute jump from the plane.
Copy !req
54. Sorry about you, kid,
but we don't want you along.
Copy !req
55. Too bad nobody'll be at
the controls of the plane
Copy !req
56. because it's gonna
smash up in a minute.
Copy !req
57. Good luck, kid. You'll need it.
Copy !req
58. We don't want you talking
about us taking the Professor,
Copy !req
59. so have a happy landing.
Copy !req
60. You—!
Copy !req
61. Geronimo!
Copy !req
62. We've just received
a report over shortwave radio
Copy !req
63. from one of the ranger stations
deep within the central jungle
Copy !req
64. that a light plane was seen
going down into the jungle.
Copy !req
65. It is believed that
the missing plane could be one
Copy !req
66. due to land here
within a couple of hours.
Copy !req
67. The plane was carrying a pilot
and co-pilot and two passengers:
Copy !req
68. the world-famous biologist,
Dr. Robert Carnivory,
Copy !req
69. and one of the racers
who was going to compete
Copy !req
70. in the upcoming
Trans-Africa Grand Prix,
Copy !req
71. a young man by
the name of Speed Racer.
Copy !req
72. Spritle, come on.
Copy !req
73. The report didn't say
whether or not anyone was hurt,
Copy !req
74. and there's only
one way to find out.
Copy !req
75. Let's go there!
Copy !req
76. Oh, great god
of Boomachuck, help us.
Copy !req
77. Defend us against
the monster in the mountain,
Copy !req
78. the monster that threatens
to destroy all of us
Copy !req
79. who are your
worshipful servants.
Copy !req
80. Help our gallant men who are
going to fight the monster.
Copy !req
81. Give them the strength
and the bravery
Copy !req
82. they will need to be victorious!
Copy !req
83. The monster is more powerful
than all of our men together.
Copy !req
84. And we will need your
supernatural powers.
Copy !req
85. Oh, great Boomachuck,
bring us victory.
Copy !req
86. Help us destroy the monster.
Copy !req
87. I'm sorry
that you were frightened
Copy !req
88. by my tribesmen.
They mean you no harm.
Copy !req
89. We are all men of peace.
Copy !req
90. For the past three years,
Copy !req
91. we've been threatened
by a big monster.
Copy !req
92. It comes from the mountain
and attacks everything it sees.
Copy !req
93. It rips up the jungle,
tears down most of our trees,
Copy !req
94. so that soon, unless
the monster is destroyed,
Copy !req
95. it will turn our country
into a desert.
Copy !req
96. It is stronger
than an army of men,
Copy !req
97. and nothing on Earth
can stop it.
Copy !req
98. We have lost many
of our bravest men
Copy !req
99. to that monster of the mountain.
Copy !req
100. Even the wildest animals
of the jungle
Copy !req
101. are no match
against the monster,
Copy !req
102. and have left for other parts of
the jungle to be safe from it.
Copy !req
103. Stories of the monster have
spread everywhere in the jungle.
Copy !req
104. And everyone's afraid to visit
us; it's very lonesome here.
Copy !req
105. So we have decided to do
something about it.
Copy !req
106. Tomorrow, we will
go after the monster.
Copy !req
107. I want you to do a favor
for me and my tribe.
Copy !req
108. Fight the terrible
monster with us.
Copy !req
109. Now wait a minute,
I'm not here to fight monsters.
Copy !req
110. I have only a couple of days
Copy !req
111. before I've got to be
in a car race.
Copy !req
112. You know, it's amazing.
Copy !req
113. So much has been happening
to me in the last few hours.
Copy !req
114. I'm sure Trixie and Spritle
are wondering if I'm all right.
Copy !req
115. I wonder where
they are right now.
Copy !req
116. I hope nothing's
happened to Speed.
Copy !req
117. I'm worried about him.
Copy !req
118. Aren't you worried,
too, Chim Chim?
Copy !req
119. He's not worried;
he's just excited
Copy !req
120. because we're entering
the jungle where he's from.
Copy !req
121. I still have
two days before the race—
Copy !req
122. Time enough to help get rid of
the monster, if we're lucky.
Copy !req
123. So that's the mountain?
Copy !req
124. There's something
very strange about it.
Copy !req
125. I can't quite figure it out.
Copy !req
126. Help! Help!
Copy !req
127. A spider!
Copy !req
128. A tank in
the middle of the jungle?
Copy !req
129. I've gotta look into this.
Copy !req
130. Oh, giraffes, Trixie!
Copy !req
131. Don't miss the
big herd of giraffes!
Copy !req
132. I saw them, Spritle!
Now let me drive in peace!
Copy !req
133. You talk about
driving in peace, Trixie,
Copy !req
134. but let's get there
in one piece!
Copy !req
135. Only two more days
before the race begins.
Copy !req
136. We've got to find out
if Speed's able to enter it.
Copy !req
137. Oh, look, Chim Chim!
Relatives of yours!
Copy !req
138. There's something very strange
about that mountain.
Copy !req
139. Don't you feel
there is, Trixie?
Copy !req
140. According to that
television report,
Copy !req
141. the plane crashed somewhere in
the vicinity of this mountain!
Copy !req
142. Chim Chim must have
found something!
Copy !req
143. Come on!
Copy !req
144. A giant spider!
Copy !req
145. Some of the natives
must've gotten it!
Copy !req
146. What's this?
Copy !req
147. This belongs to Speed.
Copy !req
148. He must be all right.
Copy !req
149. We better find him in a hurry.
Copy !req
150. Native drums.
Copy !req
151. They seem to be getting closer.
Copy !req
152. Speed, come and help!
We need your help!
Copy !req
153. Speed disappeared?
Copy !req
154. Yes, I'm sorry
to tell you this, young lady.
Copy !req
155. When a monster spider attacked,
Copy !req
156. all of my tribe escaped, but the
young man fought bravely.
Copy !req
157. He defeated the spider, but
then before we could thank him,
Copy !req
158. he suddenly disappeared
into the jungle!
Copy !req
159. Where'd he disappear to?
Copy !req
160. If somebody saw
which direction he went,
Copy !req
161. we could try to follow.
Copy !req
162. Come back here!
Copy !req
163. Look out, Chim Chim! Look out!
Copy !req
164. Chim Chim!
Copy !req
165. Get in, hurry!
Copy !req
166. That wasn't
very smart of Chim Chim
Copy !req
167. to steal that bird's egg!
Now I hope we can rescue him.
Copy !req
168. Chim Chim!
Copy !req
169. Professor Robert
Carnivory, welcome.
Copy !req
170. It has been a great many years
since last I saw you.
Copy !req
171. I want you to know that I am
grateful for your cooperation.
Copy !req
172. What? My cooperation?
Copy !req
173. But I haven't told you yet
that I would cooperate.
Copy !req
174. Our aim is to return to
our country and liberate it.
Copy !req
175. That's what the
pilot of the plane told me.
Copy !req
176. Twenty years ago,
our country was attacked.
Copy !req
177. Do you remember?
Copy !req
178. It was caught between two other
countries that were fighting.
Copy !req
179. And as each of them battled,
Copy !req
180. our country was
overrun time and again.
Copy !req
181. We became a no man's land,
except for those awful days
Copy !req
182. when the battles
were at their worst.
Copy !req
183. And no man was safe.
Copy !req
184. Now, I want to liberate
and rebuild our country.
Copy !req
185. We have made gorillas
and spiders bigger.
Copy !req
186. Now our plan is to apply
the process to human beings,
Copy !req
187. and to build an army of giants.
Copy !req
188. That's why we need
your cooperation.
Copy !req
189. You told me nothing but lies!
Copy !req
190. Our country was
responsible for that war.
Copy !req
191. We began it and
we deserved to be punished.
Copy !req
192. And you're mistaken if
you think I'm going to cooperate
Copy !req
193. in making trouble again.
Copy !req
194. Quiet!
Copy !req
195. Someone is
approaching this island.
Copy !req
196. We'll see who it is
on the monitor.
Copy !req
197. A very young man.
Copy !req
198. You see, Professor,
we are so well-guarded here,
Copy !req
199. that not even that an ant can
approach without our knowledge.
Copy !req
200. Oh, that's Speed Racer.
Copy !req
201. You know him?
Copy !req
202. Well, we don't let anyone
return to the mainland
Copy !req
203. once they've dared to come here.
Copy !req
204. That's why the natives stay away
and cause us no trouble.
Copy !req
205. He looks frightened, doesn't he?
Copy !req
206. Tell me, what are you
planning to do to him?
Copy !req
207. Don't be so nosey!
Copy !req
208. And from now, address me
with more respect.
Copy !req
209. I'm General Smasher—
General, get that?
Copy !req
210. General Smasher, a young man
sneaked onto the base.
Copy !req
211. What'll I do with him?
Copy !req
212. Get rid of him!
Copy !req
213. It'll be dark soon;
Copy !req
214. and if we don't find
Speed by tomorrow,
Copy !req
215. he'll be too late to enter
the Trans-Africa Grand Prix!
Copy !req
216. Look through
those trees, Trixie.
Copy !req
217. I see a lake!
Copy !req
218. Hey, Chim Chim!
Copy !req
219. Give the egg back to the bird
and maybe it'll letcha go!
Copy !req
220. Give the egg back, Chim Chim!
Copy !req
221. He fell!
Copy !req
222. Look, Spritle! What's that?
Copy !req
223. A bridge!
Copy !req
224. A bridge under the water?
Very strange...
Copy !req
225. Never mind about that.
Copy !req
226. We better save Chim Chim!
Copy !req
227. That's funny.
Copy !req
228. I don't hear the sound
of any engines.
Copy !req
229. So I wonder where that
big tank disappeared to.
Copy !req
230. Is there any escape for Speed?
Copy !req
231. Be sure to see the next
Copy !req
232. thrilling episode of...
Speed Racer!
