1
00:00:23,273 --> 00:00:26,443
The 500-year-old man
who's going to save us from the Trebor?

2
00:00:28,237 --> 00:00:31,156
[Narrator] Buck frees a group ofbeautiful
women from their tyrannical master,

3
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,285
then faces the ruthless killer himself
in an electrifying duel to the death.

4
00:00:35,369 --> 00:00:38,080
Our people have to fight
the Trebor. Destroy him.

5
00:00:38,163 --> 00:00:42,167
So this is the indestructible Roshon?

6
00:00:42,251 --> 00:00:45,796
The Trebor has some kind of
circuitry implanted under his skin.

7
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:48,298
Are you sure you wanna
meet him like this... Alone?

8
00:00:48,382 --> 00:00:51,844
No one kills the Roshon
but the Trebor.

9
00:00:57,891 --> 00:01:01,019
[Man Narrating]
The year is 1987,

10
00:01:01,103 --> 00:01:04,857
and NASA launches the last
of America's deep space probes.

11
00:01:04,940 --> 00:01:09,152
In a freak mishap, Ranger 3
and its pilot, Captain William "Buck" Rogers,

12
00:01:09,236 --> 00:01:14,533
are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit
which freezes his life-support systems...

13
00:01:14,575 --> 00:01:17,077
And returns Buck Rogers to Earth...

14
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,080
500 years later.

15
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,709
I still can't get over
how much you've grown, Maya.

16
00:02:47,793 --> 00:02:49,962
Oh, I'm not that old, Vione.

17
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:53,006
Old enough to turn the head
of every young man in Gaan.

18
00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:58,595
The Trebor has asked for Maya.

19
00:02:58,679 --> 00:03:02,307
No. My father will never allow this.

20
00:03:03,976 --> 00:03:06,436
Prime Minister Darius?
What is he gonna do?

21
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,983
He's just like the rest of
the Katarians, helpless and weak.

22
00:03:16,321 --> 00:03:18,657
[Grunts]
Vione. Vione.

23
00:03:23,328 --> 00:03:26,415
[Cries]

24
00:03:39,261 --> 00:03:41,597
We must do something.

25
00:03:43,557 --> 00:03:46,185
What can we do against the Trebor?

26
00:03:46,268 --> 00:03:49,188
He totally controls us with
his military power, his secret police.

27
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:52,733
He's taken dozens of our women
to add to his harem.

28
00:03:52,816 --> 00:03:56,737
He regularly murders
our best warriors for sport.

29
00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:59,323
The people are terrified, Darius.

30
00:03:59,406 --> 00:04:01,867
They never resist him.
Without their support, we're helpless.

31
00:04:01,909 --> 00:04:06,747
Darius, if the people had someone as great or
even greater than the Trebor to believe in...

32
00:04:06,830 --> 00:04:09,041
Greater than the Trebor?
Yes.

33
00:04:09,124 --> 00:04:12,669
- I'm speaking of the Roshon.
- The Roshon's a myth, Neil.

34
00:04:12,753 --> 00:04:16,256
The 500-year-old man
who's going to save us from the Trebor?

35
00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:21,011
- A childhood fable.
- Which many of our people still believe in.

36
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:23,889
Darius, there's a Terran named Buck Rogers.

37
00:04:23,972 --> 00:04:26,391
He is said to be 500 years old.

38
00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:29,603
We need more than myths
to defeat the Trebor and the police.

39
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:32,689
Rogers is no myth.
His age can be validated.

40
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:35,108
That's impossible. We could
bring him here to Katar.

41
00:04:35,192 --> 00:04:39,029
Present him to the people.
The people need someone to rally them.

42
00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:41,073
Someone to give them faith
in themselves.

43
00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:47,079
To move against the Trebor.

44
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,124
Darius, you can't take
this foolishness seriously?

45
00:04:51,208 --> 00:04:53,877
Well, it's more than
we have now, Kelan.

46
00:04:53,961 --> 00:04:56,588
I'm ready to leave for Earth
immediately, sir.

47
00:05:00,884 --> 00:05:05,722
If the Trebor finds out about this,
his reaction could be very unfavorable.

48
00:05:08,725 --> 00:05:11,228
We have nothing to lose.

49
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:24,867
Last one to the hangar's
a rotten egg, Wilma.

50
00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:27,786
- A what?
- You know, an egg, Wilma.

51
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:31,039
It's, uh, white, kinda round.

52
00:05:31,123 --> 00:05:34,042
Uh, chickens lay them.

53
00:05:35,544 --> 00:05:37,880
Yeah, well, forget it.
I guess you had to be there.

54
00:05:37,963 --> 00:05:39,715
Sorry I missed it.

55
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,261
Tell me something, Wilma.
You see what I see at about 2.00?

56
00:05:50,267 --> 00:05:53,937
- That guy's in trouble.
- Yeah, and badly outnumbered.

57
00:05:54,021 --> 00:05:56,690
This is Colonel Wilma Deering, Commander
of the Earth Defense Directorate.

58
00:05:56,773 --> 00:06:01,069
You are violating Terran airspace.
Cease firing and identify yourselves.

59
00:06:08,619 --> 00:06:11,622
They're not talkers, Wilma.
Let's give the guy a hand.

60
00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:13,499
I'm right behind you, Buck.

61
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:22,841
You take the one on the right, Wilma.
I'll take the other one.

62
00:07:05,217 --> 00:07:08,595
This is Deputy Minister Neil of Katar.
Thanks so much for your help.

63
00:07:08,679 --> 00:07:13,851
It's our pleasure. Captain Rogers and Colonel
Deering here. Glad we could be of assistance.

64
00:07:13,892 --> 00:07:16,019
[Wilma] Looks like you've
sustained damage to your ship.

65
00:07:16,103 --> 00:07:18,522
Yeah. I guess I have.

66
00:07:18,605 --> 00:07:21,066
Well, we're on our way
to New Chicago on Earth.

67
00:07:21,149 --> 00:07:24,653
- We'll escort you in and see about fixing your ship.
- I'll follow you in.

68
00:07:33,161 --> 00:07:37,332
We still haven't determined the origin
of those fighters, Deputy Minister.

69
00:07:37,416 --> 00:07:39,376
Any ideas?
Pirates, I suppose.

70
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:42,087
Well, more than likely.
Please, be seated. Thank you.

71
00:07:42,171 --> 00:07:44,923
I wish there was some way I could
repay you, Captain. Both of you.

72
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:48,969
- Well, it's not really necessary.
- I have an idea.

73
00:07:49,052 --> 00:07:52,431
Dr. Huer's offered me transportation
back to Katar. Why don't you come with me?

74
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:54,558
You and Colonel Deering.

75
00:07:54,641 --> 00:07:58,312
Be my guest for a few days in Gaan.
It's an exquisite city.

76
00:07:58,395 --> 00:08:02,232
I'd love to, but I couldn't possibly
get away. Thank you.

77
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,236
Captain?
It would be a great privilege.

78
00:08:08,155 --> 00:08:11,074
Well, I've never been to
the 13th Quadrant.

79
00:08:11,158 --> 00:08:15,996
- Then it's decided.
- [Chirping] I'll go get us packed, Buck.

80
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:19,875
Twiki, your manners are showing,
I'm afraid.

81
00:08:19,958 --> 00:08:22,002
I'm not sure that
this is a weekend for two.

82
00:08:22,085 --> 00:08:25,380
Of course your friend can come. I'm
sure my people would find him enchanting.

83
00:08:25,464 --> 00:08:29,635
- [Chirping] Naturally.
- [Laughing]

84
00:08:29,676 --> 00:08:33,347
Thank you, Colonel, for your help.
Doctor. Safe trip, Deputy Minister.

85
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:35,933
Thank you, sir.

86
00:09:03,794 --> 00:09:07,172
Captain Rogers, I'd like to present
Darius, Prime Minister of Katar,

87
00:09:07,214 --> 00:09:09,466
his Deputy Minister Kelan...

88
00:09:10,384 --> 00:09:12,719
And my daughter, Vione.

89
00:09:16,181 --> 00:09:19,059
Captain Rogers,
we owe you our thanks.

90
00:09:19,142 --> 00:09:23,313
It was no big deal. Really.
You're much too modest, Captain.

91
00:09:23,397 --> 00:09:26,066
Your reputation has reached
even the 13th Quadrant.

92
00:09:26,149 --> 00:09:31,029
- It has?
- [Chirping] A legend in your own time.

93
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:33,907
- And ours.
- Mm-hmm.

94
00:09:33,991 --> 00:09:37,244
I suppose we might as well
get right to the point.

95
00:09:37,327 --> 00:09:40,831
- And what point is that?
- The reason we brought you here.

96
00:09:42,499 --> 00:09:45,169
[Chirping]
Uh-oh.

97
00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:48,213
Brought me here?

98
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,055
Prepare the combat area for broadcast.

99
00:09:59,057 --> 00:10:02,394
Oh, Maya. Maya, welcome.

100
00:10:02,436 --> 00:10:04,771
You're just in time, my darling.

101
00:10:04,855 --> 00:10:09,610
I shall dedicate this contest to you.
Please.

102
00:10:09,693 --> 00:10:12,696
Please, make yourself comfortable.

103
00:10:13,697 --> 00:10:16,033
Yeah. Yes.

104
00:10:17,576 --> 00:10:20,329
- Neil reached Earth.
- He survived?

105
00:10:20,412 --> 00:10:25,751
And returned with a Terran named Buck Rogers.
A man supposedly born in the 20th century.

106
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:28,295
Oh, yes. Yes.

107
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:33,383
Darius cleverly resurrected an
ancient myth that a 500-year-old man...

108
00:10:33,467 --> 00:10:38,096
Would duel the Trebor to the death
and free the planet forever. [Laughs]

109
00:10:38,180 --> 00:10:40,516
People believe in the Roshon.

110
00:10:42,017 --> 00:10:45,854
Greta, the Roshon does not exist.

111
00:10:50,275 --> 00:10:52,402
[Whirring]

112
00:10:52,486 --> 00:10:54,613
However,

113
00:10:54,696 --> 00:10:59,368
if this Buck Rogers is giving them
a false sense of courage,

114
00:10:59,451 --> 00:11:04,832
well, then he's a nuisance,
and he should be removed.

115
00:11:04,915 --> 00:11:06,792
Gentlemen,

116
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:11,672
I have a job for you in Gaan.

117
00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:21,598
Look, I am not your Roshon, or whatever it
is you call it. I'm just me, Buck Rogers.

118
00:11:21,682 --> 00:11:24,852
Captain Rogers, all we're asking
is that you appear to be the Roshon.

119
00:11:24,935 --> 00:11:29,398
Long enough for the people to find
the courage to stand up to the Trebor.

120
00:11:29,481 --> 00:11:33,068
Look, I can't give your people
courage or direction.

121
00:11:33,151 --> 00:11:36,947
They're gonna have to find that
through themselves. Can't you see that?

122
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:42,452
- The captain's right, Darius.
- But the people can't do it. Not alone. They need help.

123
00:11:42,494 --> 00:11:45,831
Why? This is their planet.

124
00:11:47,332 --> 00:11:50,502
I don't understand.
People of Katar.

125
00:11:50,586 --> 00:11:53,881
Attention.
The contest is about to begin.

126
00:11:55,591 --> 00:11:57,885
This will help you understand why.

127
00:11:57,968 --> 00:12:01,680
Once monthly, the Trebor selects
one soldier to fight to the death.

128
00:12:01,763 --> 00:12:06,685
The "contest" is
broadcast across the entire planet.

129
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:10,022
Doesn't anyone around here
ever say no to this character?

130
00:12:10,105 --> 00:12:12,941
Acceptance is mandatory.

131
00:12:13,025 --> 00:12:16,987
It is the duel or summary execution.

132
00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:20,407
It has taken the cream of our officer corps.

133
00:12:40,219 --> 00:12:42,888
Begin, Katarian.

134
00:13:45,284 --> 00:13:49,454
- He is impressive.
- We need your help, Captain.

135
00:13:49,496 --> 00:13:51,707
- Without it...
- Captain,

136
00:13:51,790 --> 00:13:55,627
we, of course,
cannot make you do anything.

137
00:13:55,669 --> 00:13:59,298
But, please, think about this.

138
00:13:59,381 --> 00:14:01,383
I'm still not sure what I can do.

139
00:14:06,054 --> 00:14:10,350
It is late.
Vione will show you to your quarters.

140
00:14:10,434 --> 00:14:12,352
We can talk tomorrow.

141
00:14:24,114 --> 00:14:28,285
[Chirping] That doesn't look
like the welcome wagon, Buck.

142
00:14:46,678 --> 00:14:49,139
Are you all right, Captain?

143
00:14:52,684 --> 00:14:56,313
Yeah, I'm fine. Just not too
impressed with Katarian hospitality.

144
00:14:56,355 --> 00:14:59,858
Oh, those weren't Katarians.
Those were assassins sent by the Trebor.

145
00:14:59,942 --> 00:15:04,196
- Assassins for me?
- The Trebor has learned of your arrival.

146
00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:08,116
What a nice welcome. Remind me to
send him a thank you note sometime.

147
00:15:17,125 --> 00:15:20,796
[Woman Crying]

148
00:15:27,261 --> 00:15:31,098
[Crying Continues]

149
00:15:36,103 --> 00:15:38,605
[Chirping]
What's the matter, Buck?

150
00:15:46,321 --> 00:15:50,325
[Crying]
Vione, what's wrong?

151
00:15:50,409 --> 00:15:53,078
It's Maya,
my younger sister.

152
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,665
The Trebor's men took her
to him. Took her? What for?

153
00:15:56,748 --> 00:16:02,087
The Trebor has many wives.
He keeps them in the palace with him.

154
00:16:02,129 --> 00:16:05,132
He's going to force Maya
to marry him.

155
00:16:05,215 --> 00:16:09,303
I'm so afraid we'll never see her again.
[Sobbing]

156
00:16:17,311 --> 00:16:22,649
Captain Rogers, our people
have to fight the Trebor. Destroy him.

157
00:16:22,733 --> 00:16:24,735
We need your help to get started.

158
00:16:26,403 --> 00:16:28,906
All right.
I'll see what I can do.

159
00:16:28,947 --> 00:16:32,451
Buck, thank you.

160
00:16:32,534 --> 00:16:35,120
You're welcome, but I haven't
done anything yet. [Chuckles]

161
00:16:35,204 --> 00:16:39,374
Yes, you have. You're so
different from the men I've known.

162
00:16:47,382 --> 00:16:51,720
What are you doing? Getting
a little help from my friends.

163
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:57,768
- How's your vacation going, Buck?
- It looks like it's gonna be a lot of work, Doc.

164
00:16:57,809 --> 00:17:00,896
Oh, really? How so?

165
00:17:00,979 --> 00:17:03,941
I'll fill you in later.
Right now I need some information.

166
00:17:04,024 --> 00:17:06,360
On what?
A guy called a Trebor.

167
00:17:06,443 --> 00:17:10,322
- He's a shogun up here... a dictator.
- Yes. What about him?

168
00:17:10,405 --> 00:17:15,077
Get me anything you can on him. Especially
anything about what he does with electricity.

169
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,498
Electricity? That hasn't been used
in over 400 years, Buck.

170
00:17:19,581 --> 00:17:23,043
Wrong, Doc. This Trebor
is using it right here in Katar.

171
00:17:23,126 --> 00:17:25,963
- Are you all right, Buck?
- So far.

172
00:17:26,004 --> 00:17:28,590
Get back to me with that information
as quickly as possible.

173
00:17:28,674 --> 00:17:30,676
Yes, of course. Be careful.

174
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:34,721
Don't worry, Doc.
I intend to be. Rogers out.

175
00:17:34,805 --> 00:17:38,976
The Trebor?
Yes. I've never heard of him.

176
00:17:39,017 --> 00:17:44,106
Hmm. I think I better check this
out at the archives. Good idea.

177
00:18:01,623 --> 00:18:05,127
Maya, how do you like
your new home, girl?

178
00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:07,796
This isn't a home.
It's a prison.

179
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,593
Come. Come.
It's a privilege to be here.

180
00:18:12,676 --> 00:18:16,597
Not for me.
Maya.

181
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,185
You're to be my bride in just a
matter of days. I'd rather be dead.

182
00:18:23,187 --> 00:18:27,024
Well, that is an alternative.

183
00:18:27,065 --> 00:18:30,903
Don't be foolish, girl.
Now, no one can help you here.

184
00:18:34,239 --> 00:18:36,742
You are mine, girl.

185
00:18:38,494 --> 00:18:42,498
It can be quite enjoyable.
Take her to the women's quarters.

186
00:18:48,337 --> 00:18:50,172
Ah.

187
00:18:53,592 --> 00:18:56,553
You've decided to help us...
That's wonderful news, Captain.

188
00:18:56,637 --> 00:18:59,014
We should make plans to present you
to the people as soon as possible.

189
00:18:59,097 --> 00:19:02,726
Well, that's fine. But it's just talk.
What we need is action.

190
00:19:02,768 --> 00:19:07,606
- What'd you have in mind, Captain?
- A lightning raid against the Trebor's palace.

191
00:19:07,689 --> 00:19:09,775
You supply me with a handful
of your best men,

192
00:19:09,858 --> 00:19:12,236
show me a way inside,
we'll free your women...

193
00:19:12,277 --> 00:19:14,530
And then we'll go after
the Trebor himself.

194
00:19:14,613 --> 00:19:17,366
- That's ridiculous.
- But bold.

195
00:19:17,449 --> 00:19:21,787
And imaginative. The last thing the Trebor
would expect is an attack against his own palace.

196
00:19:21,870 --> 00:19:24,581
- It's a suicide mission.
- Suicide, Kelan?

197
00:19:24,623 --> 00:19:27,876
Our daughters are experiencing
a living death right now.

198
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,295
There's a system of
secret conduits underneath that palace.

199
00:19:30,379 --> 00:19:33,382
That could be our entrance.
All right.

200
00:19:33,465 --> 00:19:36,677
I'll need transport, weapons,
and a schematic of the palace.

201
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,473
- I'll get them for you immediately.
- [Chirping] Looks like all systems are go, Buck.

202
00:19:50,482 --> 00:19:52,442
Hello?

203
00:19:53,777 --> 00:19:56,113
Dr. Junius?

204
00:19:57,948 --> 00:20:02,369
Anybody here? [Man] Dr. Junius is out.

205
00:20:02,452 --> 00:20:04,371
I'm in.

206
00:20:08,041 --> 00:20:10,002
Dr. Albert.

207
00:20:11,503 --> 00:20:14,673
Oh. An early-model hand laser.

208
00:20:14,715 --> 00:20:16,717
We haven't figured out
how it works yet.

209
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:22,472
Uh, Dr. Albert, I spoke with, uh,
Dr. Junius earlier this morning...

210
00:20:22,514 --> 00:20:27,519
About a man called, um, the
Trebor. Trebor? Trebor. Trebor.

211
00:20:27,603 --> 00:20:31,607
Oh, yes, yes. Oh, yes.
Junius left the information here somewhere.

212
00:20:31,690 --> 00:20:35,903
Uh, Trebor. Trebor. Trebor. Trebor.
Oh, here it is. I got it. It's over here.

213
00:20:37,738 --> 00:20:40,616
Uh, what does it say?

214
00:20:40,699 --> 00:20:45,120
Oh. Your Trebor is the warlord
on a planet called Katar.

215
00:20:45,204 --> 00:20:47,664
That's in the 13th Quadrant.

216
00:20:47,748 --> 00:20:50,417
He's the 17 th Trebor
to rule over Katar.

217
00:20:51,668 --> 00:20:55,005
Uh, go on.
What else does it say?

218
00:20:55,047 --> 00:20:58,050
Oh. This is rather extraordinary.

219
00:20:58,133 --> 00:21:02,804
It seems he spent several years
on a planet called Volton.

220
00:21:02,888 --> 00:21:05,015
Volton? L...

221
00:21:05,057 --> 00:21:10,896
Yes. Yes. He lived among a race of beings
who existed only as electrical energy.

222
00:21:10,979 --> 00:21:13,023
Yes. Buck mentioned
something about electricity.

223
00:21:13,065 --> 00:21:18,904
When he was there, he had minute electronic
circuitry implanted under his skin.

224
00:21:18,987 --> 00:21:22,991
Well, he's apparently capable of creating
enormous amounts of electrical power himself.

225
00:21:23,075 --> 00:21:26,912
- And directing it.
- [Chuckles] What do mean by directing it?

226
00:21:26,995 --> 00:21:32,000
Well, your Trebor is able to
hurl an electrical charge... a surge.

227
00:21:32,084 --> 00:21:35,045
He's been known to use it
as a very effective weapon.

228
00:21:35,128 --> 00:21:38,632
Yes. It's, uh... It's
considered to be quite dangerous.

229
00:21:38,715 --> 00:21:42,719
In fact, even-even deadly.
Thank you. Thank you.

230
00:21:56,984 --> 00:21:59,653
Where are the rest of the men?
They'll meet us at the shuttle.

231
00:21:59,736 --> 00:22:01,780
We'll land some distance from
the palace and then walk in.

232
00:22:01,864 --> 00:22:05,033
We don't anticipate any problems with
guards until we get inside. All right.

233
00:22:05,117 --> 00:22:08,954
Twiki, wait for me back in my quarters,
all right? [Chirping] Okay, Buck.

234
00:22:08,996 --> 00:22:12,332
But don't be too long.
Stay near the comm center, Kelan.

235
00:22:12,416 --> 00:22:15,919
If an emergency arises, contact
us immediately. Of course, Darius.

236
00:22:15,961 --> 00:22:17,963
Safe journey.

237
00:22:25,345 --> 00:22:29,349
[Beeping] [Man] Central
Communications. Yes, Deputy Minister?

238
00:22:29,433 --> 00:22:32,603
My vid-phone. There's something wrong
with it. I'm getting nothing but static.

239
00:22:32,644 --> 00:22:37,149
It's not the vid-phone, sir. The static is
due to violent sunspot activity on Solon.

240
00:22:37,232 --> 00:22:39,568
I must complete this transmission.

241
00:22:39,651 --> 00:22:43,405
Our data indicates the storm should
be lessening in approximately one hour.

242
00:22:43,488 --> 00:22:46,658
Normal communications
will be possible then.

243
00:23:07,846 --> 00:23:12,184
The women's chamber is this way. The way
to the Trebor's quarters is to the left.

244
00:23:12,226 --> 00:23:14,728
You'll see a vacuum discharge conduit
on your right.

245
00:23:14,811 --> 00:23:17,648
I saw the schematic.
We'll meet back at the ship.

246
00:23:19,149 --> 00:23:21,068
Go ahead.
Good luck.

247
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:10,302
[Ticking]

248
00:25:24,149 --> 00:25:26,068
[Blow Landing]

249
00:25:31,323 --> 00:25:33,492
You guys just drew snake eyes.

250
00:25:39,832 --> 00:25:42,501
That's the emergency access
to the women's quarters.

251
00:25:45,170 --> 00:25:49,508
I can see the door. It's clear. You
stay here and keep an eye on things.

252
00:26:05,858 --> 00:26:08,360
[Whispering]
Right over here.

253
00:26:32,718 --> 00:26:35,179
Father.
Maya.

254
00:26:35,262 --> 00:26:37,222
You're safe.

255
00:26:38,557 --> 00:26:41,226
I hate to break this up,
but we gotta get back to the shuttle.

256
00:26:57,493 --> 00:27:00,913
Where is the Trebor? Transmission
has been disrupted for three hours,

257
00:27:00,954 --> 00:27:03,540
and it's imperative that I
talk to him. That's impossible.

258
00:27:03,582 --> 00:27:05,751
He's occupied.
I have strict orders not to.

259
00:27:05,834 --> 00:27:09,505
Tell him that Darius and Rogers have
brought a combat team into the palace.

260
00:27:09,588 --> 00:27:12,132
They plan to kill him
and take the women.

261
00:27:17,763 --> 00:27:19,890
Don't move, Trebor!

262
00:27:21,433 --> 00:27:25,687
You fool. You forget where you are...

263
00:27:25,771 --> 00:27:27,689
And who you're dealing with.

264
00:27:27,773 --> 00:27:31,109
Kill him, Minister. What
are you waiting for? No.

265
00:27:31,151 --> 00:27:35,197
We're taking the Trebor back to Gaan to stand
trial. Let the people see that he's mortal after all.

266
00:27:42,955 --> 00:27:46,583
- Buck Rogers is somewhere on the grounds.
- Search the complex.

267
00:27:48,418 --> 00:27:53,257
Greta, you come with me.
I wanna check the women's quarters.

268
00:28:10,274 --> 00:28:12,276
Stay with them, Darius.
Where are you going?

269
00:28:12,317 --> 00:28:15,320
I'm going back for Neil
and the others. All right.

270
00:28:33,172 --> 00:28:36,675
That's all, Captain Rogers.

271
00:28:49,188 --> 00:28:52,357
Neil, the women are inside.
Where are the others?

272
00:28:52,441 --> 00:28:55,861
Stunned. All four are wounded. What
about Buck? He was coming after you.

273
00:28:55,903 --> 00:29:00,908
I don't know where he went. I can't
leave Buck. He didn't ask for this.

274
00:29:00,991 --> 00:29:03,827
Maya, take the controls.
But you'll be stranded.

275
00:29:03,869 --> 00:29:06,371
If Buck's alive,
we'll get out okay.

276
00:29:06,455 --> 00:29:08,457
Now, do as I say. Quickly.

277
00:29:10,292 --> 00:29:12,669
Come on.

278
00:29:42,699 --> 00:29:47,538
So this is
the indestructible Roshon.

279
00:29:53,210 --> 00:29:58,841
The warrior who is to free Darius and
his rabble from the tyranny of the Trebor.

280
00:29:58,924 --> 00:30:01,385
[Chuckles]

281
00:30:04,304 --> 00:30:08,767
You didn't meet with much success
on your first campaign, did you?

282
00:30:09,810 --> 00:30:13,063
Let me see, four wounded officers,

283
00:30:13,105 --> 00:30:17,109
and Neil is probably
captured by now too.

284
00:30:17,192 --> 00:30:19,194
Well, at least Darius escaped
with the women.

285
00:30:19,278 --> 00:30:23,490
Yes. Yes,
and he'll die for it too.

286
00:30:23,574 --> 00:30:27,411
Oh, it will be enjoyable...

287
00:30:27,452 --> 00:30:31,790
To start over again with
the cream of Gaan's maidens.

288
00:30:34,084 --> 00:30:36,545
Greta,

289
00:30:36,628 --> 00:30:38,964
what should we do with him?

290
00:30:40,674 --> 00:30:44,720
If he's the Roshon,
then he must fight the Trebor.

291
00:30:45,804 --> 00:30:50,225
Why, of course. Of course.
A duel to the death.

292
00:30:50,309 --> 00:30:52,561
Does that appeal to you, Roshon?

293
00:30:54,188 --> 00:30:58,859
- Not particularly. No.
- [Laughs]

294
00:30:58,942 --> 00:31:02,529
Call Kelan. Alert him.

295
00:31:02,613 --> 00:31:05,324
Tell him I'll be bringing
their hero to Gaan tomorrow.

296
00:31:06,658 --> 00:31:12,414
This little adventure of yours could prove to
be a harsh lesson for Darius and the people.

297
00:31:12,498 --> 00:31:15,542
But most of all, for you.

298
00:31:17,377 --> 00:31:21,131
Place him in a cell
until we're ready to leave.

299
00:31:46,031 --> 00:31:50,160
Where's Father? He stayed behind,
Vione. They couldn't find Buck.

300
00:31:50,202 --> 00:31:54,206
[Chirping]
Oh, boy. Buck's missing.

301
00:31:54,289 --> 00:31:57,793
I'm sure they'll be all right.
Really, I am.

302
00:32:14,977 --> 00:32:18,146
Thanks. Quick, I know where we
can steal one of their ships.

303
00:32:27,531 --> 00:32:32,536
Do you always travel with Buck?
[Chirping] He'd be lost without me.

304
00:32:32,578 --> 00:32:34,580
Maya! Vione!

305
00:32:34,663 --> 00:32:37,666
Oh, Father. Boy, am I
glad to see you, Buck.

306
00:32:37,749 --> 00:32:40,085
Took the words
right out of my mouth, Twiki.

307
00:32:40,127 --> 00:32:42,880
I don't know how I'll ever be
able to thank you for saving Maya.

308
00:32:42,921 --> 00:32:46,508
That's all right. I think we're even.
Your father saved my skin back there.

309
00:32:46,592 --> 00:32:50,053
That's between my father and you.

310
00:32:52,097 --> 00:32:55,559
Darius. Captain Rogers.

311
00:32:55,642 --> 00:33:00,314
- I can't tell you how we worried.
- I'm sorry you won't have a chance.

312
00:33:01,815 --> 00:33:05,152
Take the deputy minister to
his quarters. He's under arrest.

313
00:33:05,235 --> 00:33:07,821
You can't resist the Trebor.
Don't you see that?

314
00:33:11,074 --> 00:33:12,993
Neil and the women,
are they safe?

315
00:33:13,076 --> 00:33:18,290
Neil's badly wounded. But he's going
to live. All of the women are fine.

316
00:33:18,332 --> 00:33:21,919
- The Trebor will be following us.
- More specifically, the Roshon... me.

317
00:33:23,128 --> 00:33:26,965
And you can be sure he'll do everything
in his power to set the odds in his favor.

318
00:33:27,007 --> 00:33:29,843
Karem and the secret police
will be there to help him.

319
00:33:29,927 --> 00:33:34,056
All right. We've got to find a place where
I can face him, and we can cover ourselves.

320
00:33:34,139 --> 00:33:38,101
The hangar. It's big and it's close.
He'll have to go through it.

321
00:33:38,185 --> 00:33:40,979
Let's take a look at it. Ladies.

322
00:33:45,984 --> 00:33:50,447
They are going to pay for this.
All of them.

323
00:33:52,825 --> 00:33:54,993
Get me Karem.

324
00:33:56,703 --> 00:34:00,541
This Buck Rogers, the Roshon.

325
00:34:00,624 --> 00:34:02,793
Most of all, I want him.

326
00:34:04,545 --> 00:34:06,547
He's going to die.

327
00:34:10,717 --> 00:34:15,806
But not easily...
And not quickly.

328
00:34:24,523 --> 00:34:28,694
Where will the Trebor enter
from? Over there at the far end.

329
00:34:28,735 --> 00:34:31,446
Well, when he does enter, the first
thing he's gonna see is the Roshon.

330
00:34:31,530 --> 00:34:33,240
[Sighs]
Buck.

331
00:34:34,408 --> 00:34:37,744
The Trebor's a deadly killer.

332
00:34:37,828 --> 00:34:40,205
Are you sure you wanna
meet him like this, alone?

333
00:34:40,247 --> 00:34:42,583
Well, that's what it's finally going to
boil down to, isn't it?

334
00:34:42,666 --> 00:34:46,170
The Trebor against me?
Besides,

335
00:34:46,211 --> 00:34:49,840
if it doesn't work out,
you can take over.

336
00:34:53,552 --> 00:34:55,637
All right, I've seen enough.
Let's go.

337
00:35:04,980 --> 00:35:08,734
Buck, it's your friends on Earth.
Doc, where've you been?

338
00:35:08,817 --> 00:35:12,237
We've been trying, Buck, but we haven't
been able to get through to Katar for hours.

339
00:35:12,321 --> 00:35:15,491
- What have you come up with?
- Buck,

340
00:35:15,574 --> 00:35:19,411
the Trebor has some kind of circuitry
implanted under his skin.

341
00:35:19,453 --> 00:35:22,456
It produces an enormous amount
of electricity.

342
00:35:22,539 --> 00:35:25,042
You're probably more familiar
with what it is than we are.

343
00:35:25,083 --> 00:35:27,085
I've got a good idea how it works.

344
00:35:27,169 --> 00:35:31,924
He uses it to create something called
"surge." Then he directs it through his hand.

345
00:35:32,007 --> 00:35:35,052
It's quite deadly. Yes, I
know. I've seen it in action.

346
00:35:35,135 --> 00:35:39,139
- What exactly are you doing?
- Doc, someday when we got plenty of time,

347
00:35:39,223 --> 00:35:41,391
I'll be glad to sit down
and talk to you about it.

348
00:35:41,433 --> 00:35:45,646
- Right now, let's just say I'm up here helping out.
- This fellow Trebor sounds dangerous.

349
00:35:45,729 --> 00:35:49,233
- Yes he is, Doc.
- Need any help? We could send a squadron.

350
00:35:49,274 --> 00:35:52,653
No, Doc. Not right now. There's
not enough time. Thanks anyway.

351
00:35:52,736 --> 00:35:54,738
I'll be talking to you.

352
00:35:56,615 --> 00:35:58,951
Twiki, you and I are gonna
have to have a little talk.

353
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:01,787
[Chirping]
Your place or mine?

354
00:36:04,832 --> 00:36:07,334
The Raven is waiting.

355
00:36:09,169 --> 00:36:11,129
I'm ready.

356
00:36:18,470 --> 00:36:21,974
[Chirping]
You're giving me heartburn, Buck.

357
00:36:23,308 --> 00:36:27,145
It's just an improvised
transformer, Twiki. What's it for?

358
00:36:27,229 --> 00:36:30,566
Well, I'm hoping we can use this to give
the Trebor a taste of his own medicine.

359
00:36:30,649 --> 00:36:34,278
[Chirping]
That's great, but why me?

360
00:36:34,361 --> 00:36:37,698
Because you're better equipped
to handle electricity than I am, pal.

361
00:36:37,781 --> 00:36:40,450
Besides, this transformer will help
take some of the sting out of it for you.

362
00:36:40,534 --> 00:36:43,370
[Door Slides Open]
Vione, what is it?

363
00:36:43,453 --> 00:36:47,791
Buck, we picked up the Trebor's force on
the scanner. They'll be here in minutes.

364
00:36:47,833 --> 00:36:51,670
All right. [Chirping]
I'll catch you later, Buck.

365
00:36:51,753 --> 00:36:53,672
Okay.

366
00:36:55,132 --> 00:36:57,801
Thank you for everything.

367
00:37:00,304 --> 00:37:03,974
It seems like I'm always
standing here thanking you.

368
00:37:04,016 --> 00:37:06,351
Well, don't stop
on my account.

369
00:37:07,394 --> 00:37:09,396
I brought you something.

370
00:37:15,903 --> 00:37:17,905
It's beautiful.

371
00:37:17,988 --> 00:37:22,493
In the past, our women gave their men
medallions before going into battle.

372
00:37:22,534 --> 00:37:25,787
They were always worn
close to the heart...

373
00:37:25,871 --> 00:37:30,834
For protection and strength
and love.

374
00:37:32,377 --> 00:37:36,507
Vione... Wear this close
to your heart, Buck Rogers.

375
00:37:36,590 --> 00:37:40,928
May my love protect you
and give you strength.

376
00:37:41,011 --> 00:37:43,180
Always.

377
00:38:05,911 --> 00:38:10,749
[Man On P. A.] A situation red alert
is now in effect. Situation red.

378
00:38:14,253 --> 00:38:17,756
All set? Yes. I've got a squad of my
best men at this end of the hangar.

379
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,176
If anything should go wrong, they're
prepared to fight. What about the Trebor?

380
00:38:21,260 --> 00:38:23,220
His Raven just docked.
He should be here any...

381
00:38:23,303 --> 00:38:25,639
[Trebor]
Roshon.!

382
00:38:41,655 --> 00:38:46,535
Roshon, the Trebor is here.

383
00:38:46,618 --> 00:38:49,580
- [Chirping] Good-bye,
Buck. - Twiki.

384
00:38:50,789 --> 00:38:54,251
For victory, Captain.
Long life, Darius.

385
00:38:55,669 --> 00:39:00,007
Are you ready, Twiki? [Chirping]
As ready as I'll ever be.

386
00:39:00,090 --> 00:39:02,050
All right. Let's go.

387
00:39:18,317 --> 00:39:21,487
You came to me, Roshon.

388
00:39:27,159 --> 00:39:29,786
I thought I would
repay the compliment.

389
00:39:29,828 --> 00:39:32,372
I didn't think good manners
was one of your strong points.

390
00:39:32,456 --> 00:39:35,959
Laser rifles, Roshon?

391
00:39:38,128 --> 00:39:41,757
Why not be more sporting?

392
00:39:48,096 --> 00:39:51,892
- As you see, I am unarmed.
- In a manner of speaking.

393
00:39:52,893 --> 00:39:57,773
You-You wouldn't shoot
an unarmed man, would you, Roshon?

394
00:40:00,234 --> 00:40:02,861
Behind me, Twiki. Fast.

395
00:40:22,214 --> 00:40:23,715
Stop!

396
00:40:33,392 --> 00:40:38,105
No one kills the Roshon...

397
00:40:38,188 --> 00:40:40,107
But the Trebor.

398
00:40:41,108 --> 00:40:45,279
Stay close and be ready, Twiki.
[Chirping] Be careful, Buck.

399
00:40:50,784 --> 00:40:56,165
Roshon, drop your weapon.

400
00:40:56,248 --> 00:40:58,876
Face me like a man.

401
00:41:00,586 --> 00:41:04,673
- I repeat, I'm unarmed.
- Except for that power plant you're wired with.

402
00:41:13,098 --> 00:41:15,726
I could've killed you just then.

403
00:41:16,518 --> 00:41:18,520
But I want you to last awhile.

404
00:41:21,940 --> 00:41:24,985
Twiki, get over here.

405
00:41:28,655 --> 00:41:31,575
What... [Chuckles]
What is that?

406
00:41:31,617 --> 00:41:35,829
He's my ambu-quad, Twiki.
We do everything together.

407
00:41:35,913 --> 00:41:38,499
- Even die?
- We haven't tried that yet.

408
00:41:38,582 --> 00:41:41,585
No. No, of course not.

409
00:41:41,627 --> 00:41:44,463
You're the man
who has lived 500 years...

410
00:41:46,298 --> 00:41:48,509
And is about to die in seconds.

411
00:41:48,592 --> 00:41:53,180
[Quietly] Get ready, Twiki.
[Chirping] Okay, Buck.

412
00:42:15,869 --> 00:42:19,957
[Weakly]
How-How did you do that?

413
00:42:19,998 --> 00:42:23,919
A little 20th-century Yankee ingenuity...
And basic electronics.

414
00:42:30,509 --> 00:42:33,178
You should've paid your light bill.

415
00:42:51,071 --> 00:42:53,907
[Chirping]
Why, you turkey.

416
00:43:00,789 --> 00:43:04,334
- Uh-oh.
- [Grunting]

417
00:43:15,387 --> 00:43:20,350
Oh, you are clever, Roshon.
But you're stupid to have stayed.

418
00:43:20,434 --> 00:43:25,939
Why did you do that?
Was it duty? Honor?

419
00:43:26,023 --> 00:43:29,193
Ah, perhaps love.

420
00:43:29,234 --> 00:43:33,739
Knowing you Terrans,
it was probably love.

421
00:43:42,122 --> 00:43:44,458
[Chirping]
He's down for the 10-count.

422
00:43:46,126 --> 00:43:49,630
Get these stunned men to the med
techs. Buck, are you all right?

423
00:43:49,713 --> 00:43:52,883
Yeah, I'm fine.
Well, he's all yours.

424
00:43:52,925 --> 00:43:56,637
I can't tell you what a pleasure
it's going to be to deal with the Trebor.

425
00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:59,723
Thank you. Well, like
I said, I owed you one.

426
00:43:59,806 --> 00:44:04,061
We're more than even.
Get him out of here.

427
00:44:11,735 --> 00:44:15,239
We've taken the Trebor's palace. Without
the Trebor, there was no resistance.

428
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,451
For the first time in centuries,
Katar is a free planet.

429
00:44:19,535 --> 00:44:24,039
In many ways, Buck,
you have become the Roshon.

430
00:44:24,122 --> 00:44:28,460
Darius, you know as well as I do... I know,
but the people believe in the Roshon and you.

431
00:44:28,544 --> 00:44:32,798
They've gathered all around the planet
waiting for their Roshon to address them.

432
00:44:36,510 --> 00:44:39,471
- Will you?
- All right.

433
00:44:46,436 --> 00:44:50,274
This is Buck Rogers.
The Trebor has been defeated.

434
00:44:50,315 --> 00:44:54,444
I offer you my congratulations and my hope that you'll
never again live in the shadow of fear and tyranny.

435
00:44:54,486 --> 00:44:59,616
But, you, the people of Katar, are
the only ones who can guarantee that...

436
00:44:59,658 --> 00:45:03,162
By finding the courage
and the strength to be free.

437
00:45:03,245 --> 00:45:05,831
I am not the Roshon. You are.

438
00:45:05,914 --> 00:45:11,003
Each and every one of you.
You are what is real.

439
00:45:11,086 --> 00:45:15,048
The future of your planet
is in your hands. Good luck.

440
00:45:19,011 --> 00:45:21,013
Thank you, Buck.

441
00:45:23,515 --> 00:45:27,186
- Well, Twiki, are you ready to go home?
- [Chirping] All packed.

442
00:45:32,357 --> 00:45:35,360
I'll be right with you.
[Door Slides Closed]

443
00:45:40,949 --> 00:45:45,287
Now it's my turn.
For what?

444
00:45:45,370 --> 00:45:48,499
To say thank you.
For what?

445
00:45:51,502 --> 00:45:54,171
For this...

446
00:45:54,254 --> 00:45:56,757
And all the thoughts behind it.

447
00:45:57,758 --> 00:46:00,886
They're still there.
I know.

448
00:46:00,969 --> 00:46:03,931
That's what makes this
very special for me.

449
00:46:05,599 --> 00:46:08,018
Thank you.

450
00:46:32,167 --> 00:46:33,961
Good-bye.

451
00:46:50,561 --> 00:46:53,230
Good-bye.

452
00:47:06,743 --> 00:47:09,913
That's an extraordinary story.
Mm.

453
00:47:09,955 --> 00:47:12,332
Well, I only wish we
could've been there. So do I.

454
00:47:12,416 --> 00:47:14,293
But, everything worked out, so...

455
00:47:20,424 --> 00:47:24,094
- [Toy Guns Shooting]
- [Chirping] Reach for the sky.

456
00:47:26,430 --> 00:47:29,308
I've been telling Twiki about
some of the myths I grew up with.

457
00:47:29,349 --> 00:47:31,602
I'm afraid
he's taking them too seriously.

458
00:47:31,643 --> 00:47:35,272
Excuse me
while I deal with Billy the Kid.

459
00:47:37,441 --> 00:47:41,612
[Chirping] This galaxy ain't big
enough for the two of us, bub.

460
00:47:41,653 --> 00:47:44,364
Maybe we can make a deal.
You take the horses, the girl,

461
00:47:44,448 --> 00:47:46,450
and I'll be out of
the galaxy before sundown.

462
00:47:46,492 --> 00:47:49,369
[Chirping]
Some deal.

463
00:47:49,453 --> 00:47:53,624
- All right, you take the money and the horses.
- [Chirping] You're getting warmer.

464
00:47:53,665 --> 00:47:56,835
You want the money, the horses
and the girl?

465
00:47:56,919 --> 00:47:59,171
[Chirping]
You've got it.

466
00:47:59,254 --> 00:48:02,174
- [Chuckling]
- [Buck] No way, my friend.

467
00:48:02,216 --> 00:48:04,676
I'd rather die with my boots on.

468
00:48:07,596 --> 00:48:11,600
[Chirping]
Well, uh, okay.

469
00:48:11,683 --> 00:48:13,644
You keep the horses.

470
00:48:13,727 --> 00:48:16,021
[Laughs]
