1. The surviving members
of the Car Acrobatic Team
Copy !req
2. meet high in the Bavarian Alps
as their leader addresses them.
Copy !req
3. It was exactly
one year ago that Speed Racer
Copy !req
4. and his Mach 5 defeated us.
We swore that someday
Copy !req
5. we would get our revenge!
That time is almost at hand!
Copy !req
6. We will race
against Speed Racer again.
Copy !req
7. And, this time, we will
not only defeat him,
Copy !req
8. we will destroy him!
Copy !req
9. We shall challenge
Speed to a race and
Copy !req
10. he will accept the challenge!
That will be our opportunity!
Copy !req
11. Then, once again, we, the
great Car Acrobatic Team,
Copy !req
12. will be recognized as the
greatest racers in the world!
Copy !req
13. The story really
begins a year ago,
Copy !req
14. when I was driving in
Copy !req
15. the Alpine Race against teams
from all over the world.
Copy !req
16. It was a grueling race over
treacherous mountain trails.
Copy !req
17. And because of their skill
and their unique cars,
Copy !req
18. my closest competitors
were members of
Copy !req
19. the Car Acrobatic Team.
Copy !req
20. I took advantage
of every fair opportunity
Copy !req
21. to pull into the lead.
It was dangerous on that ice.
Copy !req
22. Seeing the Car
Acrobatic Team in action was
Copy !req
23. an unforgettable sight, but
Racer X warned me about them.
Copy !req
24. Don't race against them.
Copy !req
25. To win, they'll stop at nothing.
Copy !req
26. Many racers were
knocked out of the race,
Copy !req
27. and Racer X and I barely managed
to cross the finish line.
Copy !req
28. The Car Acrobatic Team
suffered heavy losses,
Copy !req
29. and it was then that their
leader vowed vengeance.
Copy !req
30. You have beaten us, Speed Racer,
Copy !req
31. but I solemnly swear you
will pay for our defeat!
Copy !req
32. We shall meet again
someday, and when we do,
Copy !req
33. we shall not only defeat you,
but you will be destroyed!
Copy !req
34. Now, it is late at
night and Speed is dreaming.
Copy !req
35. Do you remember
that race of a year ago, Speed?
Copy !req
36. Think back and remember it well!
Copy !req
37. How could you forget?
Copy !req
38. We will race you again, soon!
Copy !req
39. Over the same
treacherous trails,
Copy !req
40. across the same yawning chasms,
Copy !req
41. over the same
brinks of disaster!
Copy !req
42. And we will beat you!
Copy !req
43. So the Car Acrobatic Team
Copy !req
44. challenges me to a race?
Copy !req
45. Okay.
Copy !req
46. As he drives through
the rainy night, Speed is filled
Copy !req
47. with memories of the first time
he saw the spectacular
Copy !req
48. Car Acrobatic Team, and he
begins to have second thoughts
Copy !req
49. about meeting their challenge
for another race.
Copy !req
50. He thinks that, perhaps this
time, the team will prove
Copy !req
51. too powerful and
too tricky for him.
Copy !req
52. Perhaps this time,
his luck will run out.
Copy !req
53. The more he remembers,
the more worried he becomes.
Copy !req
54. But now, Speed is
more determined than ever
Copy !req
55. to meet the challenge of
the Car Acrobatic Team.
Copy !req
56. Racer X!
Copy !req
57. Speed, a race is not a fight.
Copy !req
58. Don't accept the challenge
of the Car Acrobats.
Copy !req
59. How'd you find out about
the race, Racer X?
Copy !req
60. Never mind. You're a
professional racer
Copy !req
61. and a professional racer
doesn't fight, he races!
Copy !req
62. And he doesn't hold private
grudge races. Go home and forget
Copy !req
63. about a grudge race against
the Car Acrobatic Team.
Copy !req
64. I can't. They'll think I'm
afraid to accept their challenge
Copy !req
65. to another race. They'll think
I can't beat them again.
Copy !req
66. Now, get out of the way!
Copy !req
67. Speed, don't be a fool!
Copy !req
68. Speed!
Copy !req
69. A fine thing for me
to catch a cold
Copy !req
70. the day before
an important race.
Copy !req
71. You've got to stay in bed, Pops.
Copy !req
72. You're running a
very high fever!
Copy !req
73. I wish my oldest son
Rex were here.
Copy !req
74. I wonder where he is now.
Copy !req
75. If only he hadn't disobeyed me
years ago and entered that race.
Copy !req
76. That was when all
the trouble started.
Copy !req
77. He was too young,
too inexperienced,
Copy !req
78. to compete against the
professional racing drivers.
Copy !req
79. There's the flag. I win.
Copy !req
80. He smashed the car!
Copy !req
81. Is he hurt?
Copy !req
82. Rex!
Copy !req
83. Oh, Rex, are you all right?
Copy !req
84. Yes, Pops, I am!
Copy !req
85. I'm so glad you
weren't hurt, Rex.
Copy !req
86. I would've won if
I hadn't skidded.
Copy !req
87. I deserve to be the winner;
I was ahead all the way.
Copy !req
88. Well, I'm gonna continue racing,
Copy !req
89. and someday, I'll be the
champion of the world.
Copy !req
90. You're much too young yet!
Copy !req
91. I forbid you to be
a professional racer
Copy !req
92. till you're older and have more
experience behind the wheel!
Copy !req
93. You can't stop me
from racing, Pops!
Copy !req
94. It's in my blood, and I'm
gonna continue doing it!
Copy !req
95. You'll do what I say!
Copy !req
96. And I forbid you to do any more
racing until you're grown up!
Copy !req
97. Pops, no matter what you
say, I'm gonna continue
Copy !req
98. being a professional racer!
Copy !req
99. That's no way to talk
to your own father!
Copy !req
100. I forbid you to race right now,
and that's final!
Copy !req
101. Then, I'm sorry, Pops,
you give me no choice
Copy !req
102. but to run away from home!
Goodbye, Pops!
Copy !req
103. Rex, don't be a fool!
All I'm asking is that
Copy !req
104. you wait a few more years
until you've gained experience!
Copy !req
105. All right, if you feel
that way, then stay away!
Copy !req
106. I hope Rex comes home someday...
Copy !req
107. Well, is everybody here?
Copy !req
108. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
109. All right, Mr. Magneato,
Copy !req
110. give me the report.
Copy !req
111. As you know, the International
Secret Police have been smashing
Copy !req
112. our secret branch offices.
Copy !req
113. We discovered that one man
is behind the disasters
Copy !req
114. our secret international
organization has been suffering.
Copy !req
115. Let us now study
a few films of him.
Copy !req
116. The secret agent goes under the
not-secret name of Racer X.
Copy !req
117. Some of our best brains
and top agents proved no
Copy !req
118. match for Racer X, as time
and again, he and his friends
Copy !req
119. out-tricked and
out-fought them.
Copy !req
120. As you can see, Mr. Supremo,
we face the greatest threat
Copy !req
121. since our secret espionage
and anarchistic organization
Copy !req
122. was founded.
Copy !req
123. We cannot underestimate
the threat to our future
Copy !req
124. posed by this one man. You are
witnessing Racer X in action.
Copy !req
125. This secret film
was filmed secretly
Copy !req
126. as Racer X confronted
two of our top agents;
Copy !req
127. the leaders at one of
our main branches.
Copy !req
128. Now, observe carefully,
Copy !req
129. the skill with which
Racer X defeated
Copy !req
130. a whole company of our most
vicious and diabolical fighters.
Copy !req
131. The next part
of the report will be made
Copy !req
132. by our agent from Hong Kong.
Copy !req
133. We were under orders to
assassinate a princess
Copy !req
134. from an oil-rich country.
Copy !req
135. Everything went
according to plan
Copy !req
136. and the assassination
was about to take place.
Copy !req
137. But Racer X was in Hong Kong
disguised as a businessman.
Copy !req
138. The assassination attempt failed
and our Hong Kong branch
Copy !req
139. was forced to close down.
Racer X's business was to
Copy !req
140. put us out of business,
and he did!
Copy !req
141. I've heard enough.
Copy !req
142. The report is about nothing
but failure, failure, failure!
Copy !req
143. What have you people been doing
to get rid of Racer X?
Copy !req
144. Everything we can, sir,
but watch carefully.
Copy !req
145. There's more to our report.
Racer X is not the only one
Copy !req
146. who has caused us trouble.
A great many of our agents
Copy !req
147. have been defeated
by this young man.
Copy !req
148. Oh? Who is he?
Copy !req
149. A professional racer,
one of the best,
Copy !req
150. by the name of Speed Racer.
Copy !req
151. He drives a powerful specially
designed and built car
Copy !req
152. called the Mach 5.
Copy !req
153. Here, you see film clips
of the great Alpine Race
Copy !req
154. where he competed against the
Car Acrobatic Team among others.
Copy !req
155. In a moment,
Copy !req
156. you will see and learn something
fascinating. Watch closely!
Copy !req
157. I'm watching, I'm watching!
Copy !req
158. And there you are.
Copy !req
159. Speed Racer and Racer X
racing side-by-side.
Copy !req
160. So they competed
against each other
Copy !req
161. in the same race, so what?
Copy !req
162. But Mr. Surpremo,
we've discovered that Racer X
Copy !req
163. is secretly Speed Racer's
older brother Rex Racer
Copy !req
164. who ran away from
home years ago.
Copy !req
165. What?
Copy !req
166. It's true!
Copy !req
167. And not even Speed Racer
knows Racer X is his brother!
Copy !req
168. That's astounding!
But are you sure it's true?
Copy !req
169. Compare their photographs,
Copy !req
170. see the resemblance
for yourself.
Copy !req
171. So, you have been busy
after all. A magnificent job.
Copy !req
172. Our next step is to get
rid of Racer X forever.
Copy !req
173. This is the Car Acrobatic Team.
Copy !req
174. And now that they will
again race against Speed,
Copy !req
175. we're certain that Racer X
will also be around.
Copy !req
176. He knows that the Car Acrobats
are out for revenge
Copy !req
177. and he'll want to protect
his younger brother Speed.
Copy !req
178. That will give us
the opportunity
Copy !req
179. we've been looking for!
Copy !req
180. We will take care of
Racer X permanently!
Copy !req
181. And what about Speed?
Copy !req
182. Why worry about him?
Without Racer X to protect him,
Copy !req
183. he'll be an easy target
for the Car Acrobats
Copy !req
184. and they'll take
care of him for us.
Copy !req
185. All we have to do is
concentrate on getting Racer X.
Copy !req
186. Very clever, Mr. Magneato.
Copy !req
187. You've got everything
worked out excellently.
Copy !req
188. Now, sir, I suggest we
put the plan into effect.
Copy !req
189. We've been
waiting for you, Speed.
Copy !req
190. As you can see, we accepted
your letter challenging us
Copy !req
191. to one more race! And, this
time, you will lose! Lose badly!
Copy !req
192. Wait! What do you mean
my letter challenging you?
Copy !req
193. I got a letter from you
challenging me to one more race!
Copy !req
194. That's why I'm here!
Copy !req
195. I accept the challenge, and I'm
going to win this time, too!
Copy !req
196. No, you won't!
Copy !req
197. We are the greatest
racers in the world,
Copy !req
198. and this time, we'll prove it!
Copy !req
199. You failed to prove it
the last time we met,
Copy !req
200. and you'll fail again! I'm
warning you; I'm gonna win!
Copy !req
201. We'll see!
Come on, Speed! Let's go!
Copy !req
202. Speed won't make it!
Copy !req
203. He's going over the cliff.
Copy !req
204. Racer X,
secretly Speed's older brother,
Copy !req
205. races nearby as the
spy syndicate planned.
Copy !req
206. Well, we've been waiting for
you, Racer X, or should I say,
Copy !req
207. Rex Racer, the
international secret agent?
Copy !req
208. What's the idea of stopping me?
Copy !req
209. Very sorry, but this was
the only way we could trap you
Copy !req
210. and now we're going to
get rid of you forever.
Copy !req
211. You'll never interfere
with us again.
Copy !req
212. After him!
Copy !req
213. Why'd you try to get rid of me?
Copy !req
214. Who are you and what's the
name of your organization?
Copy !req
215. Come on, tell me!
Copy !req
216. I'm with International
Spies Incorporated,
Copy !req
217. and we want to get rid
of you and your brother!
Copy !req
218. What's that? You're trying to
get rid of my brother Speed?
Copy !req
219. Right! We set time bombs in
Copy !req
220. all of the Car
Acrobatic Team's cars!
Copy !req
221. If they surround Speed, that'll
be the end of your brother!
Copy !req
222. I've got to reach
Speed before those time bombs
Copy !req
223. on the Car Acrobatic
Team's cars go off!
Copy !req
224. Now, hold the car steady.
Copy !req
225. One good shot, and it'll
be the end of Rex Racer!
Copy !req
226. A bullseye! Now he'll never
interfere with our plans again!
Copy !req
227. Okay! Another
successful mission!
Copy !req
228. Now let's report
the news to Supremo.
Copy !req
229. This road is so narrow,
Copy !req
230. he can't pass us and
pull into the lead!
Copy !req
231. What's the
idea of blocking the road?
Copy !req
232. Can't you see we're in
the middle of a race?
Copy !req
233. Get your car out of the way!
Copy !req
234. Wait a minute!
That man's Racer X!
Copy !req
235. You've got to stop
the race immediately.
Copy !req
236. There are time bombs planted
in every one of your cars!
Copy !req
237. Time bombs?
What are you talking about?
Copy !req
238. Racer X, what's the matter
with you? You've been hurt!
Copy !req
239. Racer X is hurt?
Copy !req
240. Don't worry, I'll be all right.
Copy !req
241. I found out that the
challenging letters
Copy !req
242. you each got were phonies.
Copy !req
243. You didn't write
them to each other.
Copy !req
244. Well, all I know is that
Copy !req
245. I didn't write a letter to Speed
challenging him to a race,
Copy !req
246. I got one from him!
Copy !req
247. But I didn't write it!
Copy !req
248. Both those phony letters were
sent by the International Spies
Copy !req
249. to trick me into coming here.
They want to get rid of me!
Copy !req
250. This means
you need help, Racer X.
Copy !req
251. Speed, let's call off
this race and help him.
Copy !req
252. What do you say?
Copy !req
253. Good idea. I'm all for it.
Copy !req
254. And we'll race against each
other some other time.
Copy !req
255. Come on,
let's try to find the spies!
Copy !req
256. Don't forget the time bombs!
They were planted in your cars
Copy !req
257. and they're timed to go
off within the next hour!
Copy !req
258. Keep away from your cars!
Copy !req
259. We've got
to use our cars right now.
Copy !req
260. We'll have to chance it that
the bombs won't go off
Copy !req
261. for a while, yet.
Copy !req
262. Do you know where the
spy headquarters is?
Copy !req
263. Yes.
Copy !req
264. We'd never
be able to find it in a hurry,
Copy !req
265. we'll need you to
show us the way.
Copy !req
266. Are you strong
enough to do that?
Copy !req
267. Good. We'll use my car.
Copy !req
268. We'll take their own
time bombs back to them
Copy !req
269. and give them a taste
of their own medicine.
Copy !req
270. So you've taken
care of Rex Racer?
Copy !req
271. Excellent.
Copy !req
272. Thanks. And as for Speed Racer,
Copy !req
273. he's as good as
taken care of, too.
Copy !req
274. The time bombs are scheduled
to go off at sunrise.
Copy !req
275. Sunrise?
That'll mean six o'clock.
Copy !req
276. That means the bombs will go
off in only 20 more minutes.
Copy !req
277. I can hardly wait!
Copy !req
278. Faster! You've gotta go faster!
Copy !req
279. We don't have much time left!
Copy !req
280. I hope we reach
the spy's headquarters
Copy !req
281. before those bombs go off!
We've got to!
Copy !req
282. Look! There it
is! There's their hideout!
Copy !req
283. As soon as we surround it,
we'll get away from these cars!
Copy !req
284. Abandon your cars!
Copy !req
285. Run for your lives!
Copy !req
286. What was that?
Copy !req
287. Magneato, didn't you hear
something just now?
Copy !req
288. It's probably the wind howling
through those mountains.
Copy !req
289. They're finished!
Copy !req
290. Racer X, how can we thank you?
Copy !req
291. If it hadn't been for you,
Copy !req
292. our race with Speed
would've ended in disaster.
Copy !req
293. We would've been blown
up with our cars.
Copy !req
294. Well, now, at least
we're rid of those spies.
Copy !req
295. They won't be able to
cause any more trouble
Copy !req
296. in the countries of the world
and we can have peace.
Copy !req
297. Well, Speed, it looks as if
the rest of your racing team
Copy !req
298. has flown here in a
helicopter to pick you up.
Copy !req
299. Come on, we might as
well get out of here.
Copy !req
300. All right, Racer X.
Copy !req
301. Speed, we'll meet again, and
when we do, I wish you luck.
Copy !req
302. When you meet again, I'm sure
Speed will beat you again.
Copy !req
303. That's what you think!
Copy !req
304. Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
305. Racer X!
Copy !req
306. Are you my brother?
Are you my brother Rex Racer?
Copy !req
307. You are his brother!
Copy !req
308. I can see the resemblance
even under that mask!
Copy !req
309. I am. But even though I am his
brother, I can't go home again.
Copy !req
310. I'm giving up being a racer,
and, from now on,
Copy !req
311. I'll be a full-time
international secret agent
Copy !req
312. without a name or country.
Copy !req
313. Goodbye, Speed. I'll try
to keep my eye on you and
Copy !req
314. be nearby if you ever need help,
no matter where you might go.
Copy !req
315. Speedy!
Copy !req
316. Speed! Speed!
Copy !req
317. Speedy!
Copy !req
318. The mask. I'm sure it
belonged to my brother.
Copy !req
319. But where is he?
What happened to my brother Rex?
Copy !req
320. Rex!
Copy !req
321. Rex! Where are you?
Copy !req
322. Speed, what is it?
Did you find Rex at last?
Copy !req
323. There's no one there...
Copy !req
324. Rex, wherever you are, I promise
to try to be the best racer
Copy !req
325. in the world and to make you
proud of your younger brother.
Copy !req
326. Goodbye, Rex.
Copy !req
327. Be sure to see the next
Copy !req
328. thrilling episode
of Speed Racer!
Copy !req
