He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983–1985): Season 1, Episode 32 - Search for the VHO - full transcript
The Royal Historian, Hovar, and his son, Justin, come under attack by creatures while researching the historic ruins on an island. To help them, Man-At-Arms invents a VHO, which Teela and Adam must get to them before it's too late.
He-Man.
And the Masters of the Universe.
I am Adam, Prince of Eternia.
Defender of the
secrets of Castle Grayskull.
This is Cringer, my fearless friend.
Fabulous secret powers were revealed
to me the day I held aloft
my magic sword and said,
by the power of Grayskull.
I have the power!
Cringer became the
mighty Battle Cat, and I became
He-Man, the most
powerful man in the universe.
Only three others share this secret:
Our friends the Sorceress,
Man-at-Arms, and Orko.
Together we defend Castle Grayskull from,
the evil forces of Skeletor.
Be careful, son.
That last laser was a little close.
I know.
The last thing I want to do
is hurt one of them, but...
Uh oh, they're coming closer.
Our force-shield isn't holding over there.
I'll try to reach Man-At-Arms again.
There must be something
wrong with this radio.
Man-At-Arms? Man-At-Arms?
This is Hovar. Can you hear me?
Father...
What happens if...
if Man-At-Arms
doesn't come through for us?
Man-At-Arms always comes through, son.
Man-At-Arms, come in, please.
Duncan? Teela? Do you hear me?
We are in trouble. We need help.
Hovar, this is Duncan.
We hear you. We're doing our best.
It's no use. They don't hear us...
and the situation on Selkie
Island is getting worse, Teela.
I'm working as fast as I can.
With their force shield failing...
That VHO is the only thing
that can save them from...
It's almost ready for testing.
Oh, isn't this a beautiful day, Orko?
Yeah, it sure is, Adam.
Everything's calm and peaceful.
I can't think of a thing that could ruin
a nice day like today.
What... w-w-w-what's that?
It's coming from the lab. Let's go.
Wait for me!
That's it. Check each level.
Where am I?
Oh! My ears!
- Teela...
What's going on?
Man-At-Arms!
Why all the noise?
Adam! You startled me.
You don't have to yell, you know?
Sorry, it's just that...
What are you doing anyway?
Not doing...
We've done it.
What's with him?
Cringer's an animal just like those
wild ones on Selkie Island.
They can't stand the sound.
Oh? What sound?
The one you're not hearing.
I don't get it.
It's simple, Orko.
This Variable High-frequency Oscillator
oscillator goes up so high...
only animals can hear it.
And they don't like what they hear.
They run.
Oh, I sure could have
figured that out myself.
Emergency.
Force...
...failed. Man-At...
If Hovar's force field
gives out before Teela...
can get that VHO there...
You can see for yourself, Adam.
The animals will take over.
But why is Teela going?
Somebody has to take the responsibility.
Is she taking the Wind Raider?
No, landing would be too dangerous.
Then, how?
She's sailing in the newest,
fastest ship in the Eternian Navy.
Oh boy!
I wouldn't mind seeing that ship myself.
Then why don't you go along?
I mean, you never know when Teela
might need the help of He-Man.
Standby to cast off!
Anything you want me to
do while you're gone?
How about keeping an eye
on Adam and seeing that...
he stays out of trouble.
Oh sure, I can do that.
Well, I better put this VHO in my cabin.
Bye, Orko.
Bye, Teela, have a nice trip.
Prepare to get on the way.
You there! Look alive.
I wonder what makes it go?
This ship's really moving.
At this speed I'll be there in no time.
Adam!
What are you doing here?
I uh... I guess I did'nt
want to miss all the fun.
Well, now I have you to worry about.
At last, the oscillator is on its way.
Once I have it, I'll be able to
control every animal in Eternia.
Even Beast Man.
and perhaps... Skeletor himself!
I can't believe how fast we're going.
What was that?
It feels as if we hit something.
Look!
Oh no!
What is it?
Kraken, the biggest sea monster on Eternia.
The ship will be crushed
if we don't do something.
This is getting a little
too crowded for me.
By the power of Grayskull!
I have the power!
Now, to see what I can do with it.
Didn't anyone ever tell you,
it's not polite to grab?
That Kraken is sinking the ship.
-C'mon! Over here!
-Come over here.
Come get over here, c'mon!
-Let's go! -C'mon!
The sailors are safe, but...
I don't see Teela.
Teela? Where are you?
I must find her.
If Teela's trapped in there,
maybe she's found an air pocket.
The VHO is gone.
Razorfins.
They can eat their way through anything
They're still with me.
That wasn't a real fish,
It was a...
It was a robot.
I wonder what's next?
This must be a homing device.
If I follow this signal,
maybe I'll find Teela...
and a lot more.
It's coming from that
direction and a long way off.
The forcefield shield is weak,
but it is holding for now.
Father.
This is the last laser and
it's almost out of power.
I - I'm beginning to
wish we never came here.
Son, when King Randor
appointed me royal historian...
it was a great honor...
and it was my job to come here.
I know, but these old ruins,
they're nothing but a pile of junk.
Perhaps to some,
but once this was a beautiful city.
Don't... don't you want to
find out who lived here?
What happened to them?
I guess, I mean I wanna learn and...
someday I want to be,
well, just like you father.
But...
But right now, you're...
Well we're, both a little frightened.
Is that it?
Help will come, Justin.
We must believe that.
When we believe, anything is possible.
Hello? Anybody!
This is Hovar, on the Island of Selkie.
Can you hear me?
We are in trouble.
Deep trouble.
Oops, lost it.
Boy, it's pretty dark in here.
Is that really better, He-Man?
Mer-Man, I should have known.
You don't seem happy to see me...
and why don't you say hello to your friend?
Teela!
Why don't you help her?
Stop!
The Kraken!
No!
Stop!
How about a friendly little contest?
With the winner getting to keep Teela.
Why not?
How can I lose?
Then have at it!
Nice try. Now, how about this?
No!
Yes.
Now I'll just take Teela
and get out of here.
Sorry I took so long.
He's gone after the Kraken.
Then we'd better get crackin'.
I've got you now, He-Man.
Both of you!
Is that what you were looking for?
Thanks.
Now get back.
And now, for a little Kraken throw.
Well, that takes care of Mer-Man but...
I dropped the VHO.
Don't worry, I'll get it.
He-Man!
Hey!
You can come back up now.
Okay?
He-Man?
-Help!
Adam!
Teela!
Wow, am I glad to see you.
But I thought... I mean...
Where did you get that?
You mean this? Well, uh...
He-Man gave it to me.
Say, can we go ashore?
I mean all this swimming,
I'm really bushed?
That's it, we have no more force-shield.
And no more lasers.
They're, they're coming!
Stay close to me, son.
Father! It's Teela!
And Adam!
Oh thank goodness.
Phew, sounds like we got here just in time.
Sounds?
That's funny. I don't hear anything.
The VHO is working perfectly, Hovar.
And you'll both be safe from now on.
That's great.
Now we can really get back to work...
I mean, these old ruins were
once a beautiful city, you know?
We've got to find out who lived
here and what happened to them.
-Right, father?
That's right, son.
I'm gonna get started right now.
Well, you two!
I'd say that was a job well done.
Thanks to He-Man.
He saved me from the Kraken and Mer-Man.
And he also saved the VHO.
I thought you did.
Huh?
Oh well... well I mean.
Well, out there, that big ocean...
all that water...
Water? Ocean?
Oh, I'm glad I stayed home this time.
Hovar and Justin certainly had
a narrow escape, didn't they?
But when one is an explorer
or a scientist like Hovar,
wild animals are only one of
the many dangers you face.
And yet, throughout the course of history
there have been brave men and heroic women
ready and eager to be the first
to face the unknown,
to challenge it's dangers so that
others might follow without fear.
It is to these unsung
heroes that we owe so much.
See you soon with another
exciting adventure.
And the Masters of the Universe.
