01x07 - Prisoners of Planet X

[bunniefuu]

This is Condition Red. Condition Red!

This is not a drill! Repeat! This is not

a drill! Man your planes! This is not a

drill! Pilots, man your planes!There is

a UFO on the radar screen! Man your

planes! Scramble! Scramble! Flight six,

scramble!

Colonel, this is not a conventional

aircraft. I'm having trouble holding it

on the screen. Any radio contact with the

UFO?Do they answer your call for

identification?Negative, Colonel. No

reply. They won't answer. Blue

Leader, this is Mother Hubbard. Attack

UFO! I repeat, attack UFO!

Call in when you sight target. Roger.

I will report on contact. Blue Leaderout.

Colonel, this has every indication of a

ship from Albert. UFO sighted. UFO

sighted. Blue Flight, follow me. Now

diving on target.

Blue Leader calling Mother Huppin. He's

too fast. Shall we chase UFO?

Over. Blue Leader, this is Mother

Hubbard. Break off. Break off. We will

follow him by radar. He is leaving our

operational area. Roger. We are breaking

off and returning to base.

Reporting in.

Reporting in. I have

evaded Earth fighters, am proceeding to

my rendezvous as planned. We'll report

when in position, as ordered.

Well, come on, you three. We're due at

the Science Awards in half an hour. Not

me. I don't want any part of that Fancy

Pants Scientific Award business.

I'm with Ben! I'd be so nervous, I'd

probably flame on and burn the joint

down! I'm scared, too! I'll get so

flustered, I'll vanish! See?I'm doing it

already! Now listen, this award is for

the Fantastic Four! Gosh, Reed.

We never thought of it that way.

The team we are honoring is the

famous Fantastic Four.

My scanner shows that I am approaching

the capital city. What are my orders?

Turn on your extended view scanner so

that I may receive your transmission.

Tune it in. You

have the suburbs. Adjust. I

am adjusting. There.

Prepare to hold your picture.

Hold. There is the Scientific Building.

You will hover at X-1 altitude and

execute your orders as programmed. Ohh

As president, it is my privilege

to present this plaque for your

contributions in the field of rocket

fuel development.

Thank you, Mr. President. And on behalf

of my colleagues, the other members of

the family...

They're gone! They've disappeared!

Well, welcome aboard! On a

thickens do we get here! And where are we?

We were obviously spurted here by some

sort of lifting ray. Attention, please.

Would you please come forward to the

flight deck, where your questions will be

answered?Okay, g*ng. Let's go ask a

few pertinent questions.

I am programmed to answer all your

questions, Mr. Richards. You may

proceed. The obvious question is

why the Fantastic Four are here on this

spaceship. And where are we being taken?

I had orders to proceed to Earth and

return with the Fantastic Four to Planet

X. You are needed there. When will

we know what this is all about?My

Master Kurgo, ruler of Planet X,

will complete your briefing upon our

arrival. That is all. Ohh

You will follow me. Look

out! You'll fall! Hey!

He's just floatin' down! It seems they

can control gravity. I'll go next, and

then you three follow. Come

on, it's safe! Geronimo!

And without a chute!

This is fun!

Yahoo! Come on!Fireboy, quit

the clown! This way,

Earthlings.

Master, the Fantastic

Four from the Earth. Excellent.

I am sorry that we have caused you so

much inconvenience, but I'm sure you will

see my reason soon. Why have you

summoned us to Planet X, Kurgo?We of

Planet X are superior in many

ways, but we have one great

problem. And to solve it, you need the

help of the Fantastic Four. Your

deduction is correct. The problem is

to save our planet from total

destruction. A lost

planet out of orbit is on a collision

course with our planet. This is

causing gigantic tidal waves to surge

high inland along the coastlands.

Earthquakes are devastating the

countryside. The people of Planet X,

my sl*ves are being k*lled!

That is why I have had you brought to

Planet X, to work toward a solution.

Why didn't you ask us to come instead of

kidnapping us?Don't dare question me.

I am the master of Planet X, and a master

without sl*ves ceases to be a master.

That is why you must save me and my

subjects' lives. Kirko, we're not your

sl*ves. Robot, take the

earthlings to the laboratory and set them

to work. Their lives depend on a

solution. No, you don't, you big tin

container!

Aha! I will enclose you to keep you

quiet. Try to get out of that. I

can't move it! It's a material unknown to

me. Your wishes now,

Master. I am not programmed for

this situation. Get up, fool!

Robot will take you to the lab in your

container. For your own things,

start your work immediately.

I will take the earthlings to the lab,

master. That little pony has five

billion people he wants us to save. He's

goofy. It's not impossible.

By my calculations, the lost planet will

crash into Planet X in exactly 23

hours and 10 seconds.

As I figure it, there's not a chance of

getting off this globe in one piece. Not

so, Ben. There's a chance of getting the

whole five billion as well as ourselves

off Planet X. Pray. Tell,

fellow, we will use their

anti-gravitation and produce a gas that

will shrink the people down one thousand

times their size. I get it.

Then put the little fellas on those two

ships on the launching pad. Right then.

But if we make the shrinking gas, we must

be able to spray it on the populace. I

gotcha. I'll rig some sort of spray

device. Remember, I used to be a pretty

good crop duster. Now we're getting

somewhere. Johnny, you've got the lab

inventory and we'll get started. Okay,

Reed, be right back.

take your squad of robots out and round

up the population. Yes,

master. Bring them in. I know

the Fantastic Four will figure out

something that will save their lives as

well as ours. I leave now,

master.

This old ship'll do. I used the engine as

a blower to run the gas through the spray

nozzle. Go back to the lab,

Earthling. That's an order. That's

a what?! Look, Buster, I'm

an ex-Marine. Don't be giving me no

water. Do as you are ordered,

Earthling. You never heard of old

Quarterback Grimm, did

you?You will now do as ordered.

I will take you to the lab.

Now, drain the mixing liquid into the gas

bottle.

That's it, Sue. Fine.

Watch the bottle. Be ready to turn the

valve. I got it.

That wraps it up. There's the reducing

gas. Let's hope it works. Is

there a doubt in your mind that the gas

won't work, Mr. Richards?Surely,

Kirko, you are aware that no scientific

discovery is complete without testing.

Come here. These two serfs will be

our test subjects. I see no

danger. Our only concern is the amount of

reduction we can achieve. Have them stand

by the panel. Go on. Go

stand by the panel.

Okay, ready.

You've gone too far. You've k*lled them.

Not quite, Kirgo.

You mean?Yes, the

test and reducing gas is a complete

success. They have been reduced

approximately 1,000 times. What is

the purpose?The purpose is to load your

entire population on two ships and

fly them to another planet. and arrive

there with the people the size of ants?

How foolish! We will have an antidote to

restore size before the spaceship leaves.

Bring your people to the launching pads.

They'll make haste. There are only two

hours before the planets collide. Are you

serious about developing an antidote with

only two hours left?That will take care

of itself when the Planet X people leave.

I wonder where Ben is. It's

clobberin' time!

I'm gonna get

you. And get out of here, you

tin can! If you ever come back, oh,

oh! You're just in time. We've gotta get

this gas over to the launching pad.

You take the gas bottle, then. Roger.

Sue, put out your hand. You take care of

these little people until we get to the

spaceships.

Earthquake!

The planet is breaking up. There's not a

moment to lose.

Here, Kergo, the antidote gas. My people

are on the launching pad loading your

subjects. You may now leave, Planet X.

You have saved my subjects and my power.

I no longer need you. Take the spaceship

that brought you here and leave. Go!

These gases will give me even greater

power when I take over another planet,

thanks to the foolish Fantastic

Four!

This jet is pumping gas to boat

spaceships. They seem to be getting on

okay. Let's go find Reeden's too, and get

back to that sausage.

The Planet X people are almost loaded.

Wow! Another earthquake!

I must hurry. There's not much time.

Uh-oh! My tank!

Stop the tank! My power is rolling away!

Stop it, somebody! Help! Help My

power! Stop it! Stop it!

Did Kurgo ever show up?No, we didn't see

him. Did he get his antidote gas?I'll

tell you all about that later. Let's

hurry to the saucer and start home. The

saucer ramp is just ahead.

Hold it! What are you robots doing here?

We are programmed to keep anyone from

taking the saucer. Kurgo's orders.

Didn't he tell you we were to take the

saucer?We are to keep any of

the populace from boarding.

There's no time to lose. Get up there,

Johnny. I'll get 'em. Flame on!

I'm in position, Reed. What does the

situation look like?I have an

idea how to get rid of the two robots.

You advance as far as the grating and

leave the rest to me. Okay, Johnny, be

careful. Roger!

Let's go, right up to the edge of the

grating. This

is restricted. You may not come

on this entrance grid to the saucer. We

will be forced to destroy you should you

try. Go back or we attack.

I did it with my hot, pointy finger. Good

work, Johnny. Come on, let's get aboard.

Shove up gently. Let's go.

That's the robot that brought us here.

Let's get 'em. No, Ben. What about

the robot guards on the grid?I am

programmed to take you back to Earth.

Hurry and get this saucer going. As you

wish. I will engage,

Scanner. Hey,

there goes the spaceships with a

population of Planet X. What's

that in the foreground?I will adjust.

Wait! Wait I have the antidote

gasp! Wait! I'm the ruler! You can't

go without Kurgo!

We must leave.

Look! The planets are closing fast! Just

a few more minutes and they'll collide.

Those poor, tiny people. They will always

remain so small. Size is only

relative. Perhaps they will be giants

when they reach their new world. Kurgo

was a mean dictator. He used his mighty

robots to control the populace. The tank

that caused Kurgo to miss the flight of

the spaceship was an empty tank.

An empty tank?If I hadn't given him an

antidote, he would have set the robots on

us for sure. must have had an ulterior

reason. He did. He wanted to restore

only himself to normal size. He wanted to

be a giant dictator.

Wow! That was the end of the two planets.

Is everyone okay?Yeah, I'm okay. How are

you, Sue?I feel like I took a ride

in a cement mixer. Look at Ben!

If you think I'm in a funny position,

look at that robot. Hey, you feelin'

okay, Tin Man?I am

sorry. I'm not programmed to

answer that question.
