The Herculoids (1967–1969): Season 1, Episode 14 - The Chrystalites/The Mutoids - full transcript
NARRATOR: Somewhere out in
space live the Herculoids.
With Zandor, their leader.
Igoo, the giant rock ape!
Zok, the laser-ray dragon!
Dorno.
Gloop and Gleep,
the formless, fearless wonders.
Tundro, the tremendous!
They team up
to protect their planet
from sinister invaders!
All-strong.
All-brave. All-heroes.
They're "The Herculoids."
Are you sure you don't
need any assistance?
No. Thank you anyway.
I've already contacted my people
and they will be here, shortly.
Very well, then we
shall be going. Goodbye.
You have a report?
Yes, Mutak.
Contact has been made.
And they suspect nothing.
It is safe to land.
Our forces will
join you shortly.
Oh, this is the life,
huh, Gleep?
DORNO: Tundro thinks so too.
Hey, cut it out, Tundro.
Three spacecrafts.
They must be the ones
Zandor said would land here.
Come on, let's go take a look.
That doesn't look like
repair equipment to me.
DORNO: There's something
strange goin' on here.
We better get Zandor.
Zandor must not
know of our mission.
Mutoids, stop the boy!
I see them, Gleep.
They're after us.
Gleep, it's up to you.
Get Zandor and hurry.
Zandor, it's Gleep.
What is it, Gleep?
Gleep says that
the aliens who landed
are attacking Dorno and Tundro.
Herculoids, let's go.
There they are, Zandor.
ZANDOR: It's the Mutoids.
No wonder I was fooled.
They have the power
to change their appearance.
Let's stop them, Zok.
Mutak, your Mutoids
have been defeated.
You have no choice,
but to surrender.
Very well, Zandor.
Your Herculoids
are too powerful.
We surrender.
Now, we'll find out
what they're up to.
Mutak, if we surrender,
our mission will fail.
Mutak has no intention
of surrendering.
Look.
Even now, our men take on
the appearance of rocks.
Zandor and his Herculoids
will walk into a trap
from which there is no escape.
So, Mutak, you came to launch
your missiles of war
from our planet?
MUTAK: That's right, Zandor.
Our enemies would have
thought the attack had come
from Amzot.
A clever plan, Mutak.
But it has failed.
Wrong, Zandor. It has succeeded.
Look about you.
We're surrounded.
Nothing will stop us.
Zandor, look!
ZANDOR: The missiles.
Soon, our missiles
will reach their targets.
- We've got to stop them.
- But how, Zandor?
Our only chance is to activate
the missiles'
self-destruct switch
inside Mutak's spaceship.
We're going to make
a break for the door.
The rest of you, give us cover.
Dorno, you and Gleep,
follow me. Let's go!
We found them
and not a moment too soon.
MUTAK: Wrong, Zandor.
Not soon enough.
Dorno, find this ship's
missile-launching controls
and destroy them.
Right, Zandor.
Now, to stop those missiles.
I must stop them.
Dorno, wait.
I'll take care of that.
You and Gleep get back outside.
Okay, Zandor.
There's Zandor now, Tara.
Dorno, did you knock out
the missile launch controls?
No. You told me
you would take care of it.
A careless mistake.
You forgot the power of Mutak
to change his appearance.
He's gonna fire
the other rocket.
Stop him, Zok.
If Mutak fires
those missiles, Tara
he'll explode his own ship.
- They're gone, Zandor.
- Yes, Tara.
And with them
their plans of conquest.
But I wonder what
they've changed themselves
into this time?
I hope we'll never find out.
What's that noise, Zandor?
I don't know, Dorno.
Zok, look out!
It looks like
a meteorite, Zandor.
I don't think so, Dorno.
We'd better take a closer look.
It's some kind of space vehicle.
And that glow must
be a protective force-field.
Dorno, find the rest
of the Herculoids.
I'm going to try to make contact
with whoever is inside.
Right, Zandor.
Hello? Can you hear me?
Is anyone inside?
ZANDOR: Voice activated probe.
I am Zandor of Amzot.
Who are you?
It looks like they want me
to go inside.
Those look pretty good, Igoo.
That should be plenty of
corona berries for today, Igoo.
I see them, Zok.
It's Dorno and Zok.
What is it, Dorno?
Zandor told me to find you
and the Herculoids.
- Is anything wrong?
- I'll explain later, Tara.
Follow me.
Time travel tubes.
And the aliens inside
are in suspended animation.
Welcome to your doom, Zandor.
Crystallite.
Now, who are you?
Why have you come?
I am Kryton,
leader of the Crystallites.
Soon your entire planet
will be turned to crystal.
The Herculoids and I
will stop you, Kryton.
No one will stop us.
Look behind you, Zandor.
KRYTON: Crystallize him!
After him! He must not escape.
Zandor! He's in trouble.
Dorno! Zok!
The weight's too much for Zok.
I've got to lighten the load.
Gleep, stand by!
I'm bailing out.
Thanks, Gleep.
Now Zok should make it.
- Igoo.
- He's going to fall.
There are ways
of defeating the Herculoids.
Tara!
Crystallites, bring the captives
into our ship.
They've taken Tara and Dorno.
KRYTON: Yes, Zandor.
And if you wish
to see them again,
you and your Herculoids
will not interfere
with our plan.
We must free Tara and Dorno.
But we'll have to wait
for nightfall.
They waste no time.
Soon they will have built
an impregnable fortress.
Alright, everyone know the plan?
There. Now, let's hope
these uniforms will fool them.
There they are and there's
an alarm field around them.
Tara, Dorno, get ready
to make a run for it.
DORNO: Let's go, Tara.
The prisoners escaped!
Stop them!
They're all around us.
Zandor, look.
Kryton has been defeated.
But to ensure
the safety of our planet
we must destroy
the source of their power.
KRYTON: Too late, Zandor.
For it is I
who will destroy you.
Zandor, it's a mini craft.
And Kryton's in it.
Nothing can get through
that force field, Zandor.
Except Gloop. Look.
ZANDOR: No, Igoo.
We must let it stand.
But why, Zandor?
Because, Dorno, it will serve
as a reminder of defeat
to all those who wish
to conquer our planet.
