00:00M.A.S.T. crusaders, working overtime, fighting crime, fighting crime.
00:17Secret Raiders, who will neutralize, soon as they arrive, at the site.
00:23The soundtrack is gonna lead the mission, and Spectrum's got the supervision.
00:31M-A-S-T, is the mighty power that can save the day.
00:37M-A-S-T, no one knows what lies behind their master race.
00:44M-A-S-T, always riding hard on Venom's trail.
00:51Come see the laser race, right away.
01:07That's 38,000 once, 38,000 twice, sold!
01:13To the Burana African Museum, thank you.
01:1638,000, for a mask that doesn't even do anything?
01:21Shh!
01:23It's the only one of its kind, over 2,000 years old.
01:29I hope I'm worth 38 big ones, when I'm 2,000.
01:33You're already priceless, T-Bob.
01:35No, I'm already bored.
01:37Scott, let's go see Alcatraz, the famous island prison.
01:41Shh!
01:43Now, ladies and gentlemen, a most unusual item.
01:52The legendary crystal skull.
01:54Quite ancient, of course, but no one knows when it was made, or how.
01:59Only an advanced civilization could have achieved such precision.
02:04Bidding will start at 50,000 dollars.
02:08I have 50,000.
02:1050,000? The thing's only good for an ashtray.
02:14I'd rather have the African mask.
02:1760,000, thank you.
02:20We have 60,000, do I hear 70,000?
02:2470, thank you.
02:2680, do I hear 80,000?
02:30Even that suit of armor would be more useful.
02:34T-Bob, you just bid 90,000 dollars.
02:3990,000?
02:41No, I didn't. All I did was this.
02:44100,000, thank you.
02:46Hey, lay off, or I'll just bid you farewell.
02:50110,000. Very spirited, I must say.
02:55All right, it's 110,000. Anyone interested?
03:04The Crystal Skull
03:12What?
03:17It's too bright!
03:24The skull! The Crystal Skull is gone!
03:27Holy cow! The skull just bled out!
03:33I'm sorry. The auction will have to be postponed until an investigation can be made.
03:38Oh, Mr. Tracker, this is terribly embarrassing.
03:42You're our biggest buyer.
03:44Don't lose your head. There must be some explanation.
03:48The skull was so bright.
03:50Perhaps someone grabbed it while we couldn't look at it.
03:54No one could get out. There are guards at all the doors.
03:58There's a little hole here, but it's too small for the skull to fit through.
04:02But maybe it's some kind of...
04:07Chica!
04:08Scott, move away from there. Bruce, let's move this pedestal.
04:12Okay, man.
04:17I don't believe this.
04:19T-Bob, are you okay?
04:22I guess I really fell for that.
04:28Huh?
04:30Oh, what's this thing?
04:32T-Bob, what are you doing?
04:35A mini-laser, aimed to shine up through the pedestal.
04:40That's what made the skull appear to glow.
04:42And that's a tunnel down there. Whatever for?
04:46You can bet it's no tunnel of love.
04:49And somebody dropped the skull through that trap door and took it.
04:52But why steal that skull? There are many odd objects here worth much more.
04:57I agree.
04:58Maybe somebody figures two heads are better than one.
05:02More likely, someone knows of the skull's true powers.
05:09I'm Crowley of the Archaeological Institute.
05:12The crystal skull in criminal hands?
05:15Very serious.
05:20Very, very serious.
05:28Let's see if we can learn why anyone would steal that skull.
05:34M.A.S.S. Computer, present available data on the crystal skull.
05:39Discovered during archaeological dig in Central America.
05:42Possible artifacts of ancient Mayan Indians.
05:45Those Mayans were really smart.
05:48Really knew how to put their heads together.
05:51Some legends claim that anyone who looks through the eyes of the skull can see through solid objects.
06:03Ah, there's a bank. Stop here.
06:06Okay.
06:12First, we'll knock on the door.
06:22What is this? Mayhem? A nickel and dime bank robbery?
06:28I thought we were just going to sell that thing.
06:31Perhaps. Perhaps.
06:34There's something I want to know first.
06:37It's Sunday. There's no one around.
06:40No harm in experimenting.
06:44You see, what matters is not that we robbed the bank.
06:48It's how we robbed the bank.
06:50Now, let me see.
06:52This way, I guess.
06:58Ah, the legends are true.
07:00I can see through the door.
07:02Through anything up to about 15 feet.
07:05Tiger, try these numbers.
07:08Wow, that was so easy, I can't stand it!
07:13Try these numbers.
07:17Four, nine, eight, one, six, seven, four.
07:30Wow, that was so easy, I can't stand it!
07:38Light waves passing through the skull are altered in unexplained ways.
07:42The nature of the crystal itself is not understood.
07:45Sounds like that thing is in a glass by itself.
07:51Matt, a Bronco and a motorcycle parked together by a bank.
07:55On Sunday.
07:57Jackhammer and piranha?
07:59We know venom agents have been seen in San Francisco.
08:02It's worth checking.
08:03All right!
08:08No funny business now, kiddo.
08:10You two get on the cable car.
08:14Come on, if it's venom, I want a vamoose.
08:17We can go see Alcatraz.
08:19I feel like I'm in Alcatraz.
08:22I don't get to do anything.
08:33Come on, Tiger, the cash isn't important.
08:37Just a couple of more loads for spending money.
08:45I don't believe it.
08:47They show up sure as ants at a picnic.
08:50It's masked, let's clear out.
08:53Don't be idiots, this is a chance of a lifetime.
08:56Rats, stall them.
08:58Tiger, be ready for a fast getaway.
09:07Stiletto, fire.
09:14How did they know we were coming?
09:16They just have a penetrating way about them.
09:24Don't recognize him?
09:26Let's try the other one.
09:28Turn around, turn around.
09:33Here he comes again.
09:36Matt Tracker, it's Matt Tracker.
09:39He's the leader of M.A.S.K.
09:41Tiger, let's go.
10:00M.A.S.K. Computer, select agents for mission in San Francisco.
10:04Recommended agent, Gloria Baker.
10:06Champion race driver, black belt in Kung Fu.
10:09Vehicle code name, Shark.
10:11San Francisco terrain calls for driving skill, Dusty Hayes.
10:15Vehicle code name, Gator.
10:17Proximity to ocean may require amphibious capability.
10:20Selection complete.
10:22Personnel approved.
10:24Assemble Mobile Armored Strike Command.
10:27So now can we go see Alcatraz?
10:30It's famous, you know.
10:32There's a prison on an island in the bay.
10:34If you don't stop asking me about it,
10:37I'm going to leave you on Alcatraz.
10:42Huh? Venom!
10:47Let me go!
10:53Scott! Scott!
10:58Scott!
11:03Help! M.A.S.K.!
11:05Police! Army! Navy!
11:07That rat, he wrecked my radio.
11:10He's getting away.
11:12Nobody will ever find Scott.
11:15It's up to me. I can do it.
11:18They won't catch this kidnapping.
11:20Charge!
11:28You're going to be in big trouble.
11:31You don't know who my dad is.
11:40All right! T-Bomb!
11:56Can't lose the little garbage can.
12:02Look out, T-Bomb. It's a laser gun.
12:13T-Bomb!
12:15Now that's what I call being washed up.
12:22Oh no! Everything's gone down the drain.
12:32Hello?
12:34Hello. This is Miles Mayhem.
12:38Would you be the leader of M.A.S.K.?
12:41You have a wrong number.
12:45I've got your number, Mr. Matt Tracker,
12:48and your number is up.
12:51The legends must be true.
12:53He used the skull to see through our masks.
12:56Dad! Dad!
12:58Scott!
12:59Can you hear me? It's me, Scott.
13:01Don't listen, Dad. You can beat him.
13:04Perfect timing, boy.
13:06We have him, Tracker, and he'll be fine
13:09as long as you do as I say.
13:12First, the Tracker fortune will henceforth
13:15be devoted solely to Venom's use.
13:18Second...
13:22Those are my demands.
13:25Those are my demands.
13:27I'll be expecting you.
13:32Quite a list of demands.
13:35Matt!
13:36T-Bomb!
13:41You want us to what?
13:43No questions. Bring all of the masks
13:46and all of our secret data files,
13:48including the identities of all mask agents
13:51and the location of Boulder Mountain.
13:53Oh, wait.
13:54It all has to be genuine.
13:56Mayhem can use the skull
13:58to see that we don't try to pass him phony goods.
14:02But if you give Venom all that stuff,
14:04it will be the end of masks.
14:06Venom will take over.
14:08That skull. We need to know more about it.
14:11Come on. Let's find that guy Crowley from the auction.
14:23I feel like I'm going to a funeral
14:25instead of a mission.
14:27Yes, the Crystal Skull.
14:29There's no other like it.
14:31You were bidding against me, eh?
14:33But you were bidding too, Professor.
14:35Why?
14:36If I had succeeded,
14:38I would have returned the skull to the ground.
14:41It came to us at the wrong time.
14:44The world is not ready
14:46for the powers of the Crystal Skull.
14:50Now, if possible,
14:52it must be destroyed.
14:54It can be destroyed?
14:56Oh, yes. Quite simple, really.
14:59The skull can see through all things but itself.
15:03It cannot survive seeing its own image.
15:07At the moment of destruction,
15:09all knowledge gained with it
15:11is erased from the mind of anyone
15:13who has looked through it.
15:15It's such a waste.
15:17Such a waste!
15:29That's it, Matt.
15:30Okay. Mayhem has picked his meeting place
15:33with me alone on the Golden Gate Bridge at dawn.
15:36First priority is to save Scott.
15:39Then we've got to destroy that skull.
15:41The very existence of Mask depends on this.
15:44Ideas?
15:45Perhaps you can be alone, yet not alone.
15:49Perhaps you can say something I understand someday.
15:52Good thinking, Bruce.
15:54They might ignore T-Bob.
15:56Maybe you can modify him to be the Joker in our deck.
15:59Ooh, why not?
16:01I've always been kind of a card.
16:05Hey, T-Bob, there's Alcatraz.
16:08You're finally getting to see it.
16:10Who cares about that now?
16:12I'm so scared.
16:14Oh, what if I do something wrong?
16:17You'll do fine. Keep your chin up.
16:19I don't have a chin.
16:25We're in position, Dusty, but we can't move.
16:28We've got to go.
16:31We're in position, Dusty,
16:33but we can't make a move till we know Scott is safe.
16:38Gotcha.
16:39Dang, without my mask, I feel like I'm in one of them dreams
16:43where you forget to put your pants on.
16:48I can't stand it.
16:50Oh, where are they?
16:55That's the one that took Scott.
17:01Yeah!
17:14A little pea soup fog should tie things up long enough
17:17for us to conduct our business.
17:19Ooh, what's with the fog?
17:27Let's go, T-Bob.
17:29Dad!
17:30Hold it, Tracker.
17:32I told you to come alone.
17:34Relax. He's just a robot to carry all this junk.
17:37I'll throw him in with the deal. No extra charge.
17:40Stay where you are.
17:41I'll just check to see that your junk is genuine.
17:44Bob, now!
17:46Oh, no!
17:47There's the kickoff. Let's go for a touchdown.
17:50Get them!
17:51Come on!
18:03Way to go, T-Bob.
18:05Scott, get the Thunderhawk. Call the team.
18:08All right.
18:16Mask Team, move in.
18:21Fire!
18:28T-Bob, let's give the skull a look at itself.
18:31All right.
18:41I'll bring you down, Tracker.
18:43Viper Mask, fire!
18:48Ready, T-Bob.
18:51Go!
18:57Changed my mind, Miles.
18:59You can have the skull after all.
19:06It's going to explode!
19:11What?
19:12What are we doing here?
19:14I thought we were robbing a bank.
19:21It's Mask!
19:25Whoa! It's Venom!
19:27Dad!
19:33Dad!
19:37Mask!
19:38Hi, guys. I'm having a swinging time down here.
19:43What in the world is going on?
19:45Let's get out of here.
19:51Has Venom gone yet?
19:58Hey, let me down!
20:06Dad, don't climb up. The cable's breaking.
20:10I'll get Lifter.
20:18All right, Dusty.
20:20Hey, fella. What are you doing trying to jump on my boat?
20:28Wow! T-Bob wound up in Alcatraz Prison.
20:32Ho, ho. Very funny.
20:35I wasn't up to any skullduggery.
20:38I wasn't even skulking around.
20:42THE POLICE
20:48Scott, someone's sneaking around outside.
20:51I'll call the police.
20:54Never mind. They're just fixing a flat tire.
20:57Boy, could we have felt dumb if we had called the police.
21:01You should always call the police,
21:03even if you're not sure anybody's doing anything wrong.
21:07It doesn't hurt.
21:11THE POLICE
21:41THE POLICE
