The Herculoids (1967–1969): Season 1, Episode 17 - Attack from Space/Return of Torrak - 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.
Where could that missile
have come from, Dorno?
I don't know.
I don't know what caused
that giant explosion.
But we better find out
in a hurry.
But, Zandor, couldn't it
have been a space fragment
that caused the explosion?
ZANDOR:
Possibly, but from the damage
I suspect a missile
of some kind.
I was right.
Here comes another one.
Our planet's under attack.
But from where?
By whom?
We've got to find
that out quickly.
Or be destroyed.
Got to find some trace
of a missile.
I get it. It might
give us a clue.
ZANDOR:
Right.
That metal is pure luvanium.
What does that mean?
It means there's only one place
it could come from.
And that's the glowing planet
of Luvanum.
And to stop it,
we've got to get there.
I never thought we'd have to use
the ship we captured from Zarco.
It can mean the difference
between the destruction
or survival of our planet.
Are the Herculoids secure?
DORNO:
Yes, Zandor.
- And Zok?
- He's with us.
Look.
TARA:
There's another one.
ZANDOR:
Yes. Heading for our planet.
And they're right on target.
Whatever evil mind
is behind all this
we've got to stop him.
All missiles on target, Zigott.
Excellent.
Without leaving our base
we destroy Zandor's planet
and conquer the Herculoids.
What's that?
Look, a ship approaching
Luvanium.
Undoubtedly off course.
Let them land and
then destroy them.
There's no doubt
we've been seen, Tara.
- What do we do?
- I have a plan.
When we land, Dorno,
set off the cover screen jets.
Yes, Zandor.
Then abandon ship
as quickly as possible.
Quick. Destroy the ship.
We didn't get out of there
any too soon.
Now, to find out
who's behind all this.
Destruction of space ship
complete, Zigott.
Well done.
Resume missile firing.
There's the source
of those missiles.
And the way we're going
to get in.
Igoo, can you open
these doors quietly?
I said quietly.
What was that?
Release the wing robot sentries.
ZANDOR: Here's another
one ready to launch.
Looks like they launched
something else.
Look out, Gloop.
Something has happened
to the robot sentries.
ZANDOR: Yes. They've
all been destroyed.
Zandor.
You've attacked our home planet
for the last time.
I have other plans.
Take cover.
Careful. Those rays are deadly.
Tara, stay back.
I'm alright, Zandor.
Here it comes.
Good work, Igoo.
They're getting
into their missile.
They got away alright.
Yes. But they're gonna have
a lot of trouble landing.
I'm sure Zigott won't mind
our using his own ship
to get back to our planet.
Yeah. I doubt if he's gonna have
much use for it anyway.
Zandor.
Tara.
Zandor. What happened?
A winged creature
has taken Tara.
Hurry. We must follow
with the Herculoids.
That creature's taking Tara
into the green mist.
I'll go ahead on Zok,
and try to catch them.
Right, Zandor.
ZANDOR:
Hold it, Zok.
A fortress.
The creature must've taken
Tara in there.
ZANDOR:
You're right, Zok.
I have a strange feeling that
we've seen this place before.
That's right, Zandor.
You have seen
my culture world before.
Only last time it was
under a microscope.
And now that you have served
my purposes allure
'I can once again pit my army
of microorganisms'
against the Herculoids.
And this time,
my microorganisms will win.
You underestimate the power
of the Herculoids, Torrak.
We shall see.
Well, how do we get inside,
Zandor?
There doesn't seem
to be any entrance.
It looks like we'll have
to make our own.
DORNO:
Zandor, what are they?
I don't know, Dorno.
They're attacking
from all sides.
One of them have Igoo.
They're electrically charged.
Okay. Let's seal them in.
Good team work, Herculoids.
That'll hold those creatures.
TORRAK:
Only for now, Zandor.
Well, I have an army of giant
micro creatures.
All eager to destroy you.
So that's it. Torrak has taken
Tara to lure us into his trap.
And he's found some way
to enlarge tiny microbes
into huge creatures.
Come on. We've got to get
inside that fortress.
Why have you freed me, Torrak?
Because I need you no longer.
The Herculoids will soon
meet their end.
This way.
Here I dispose off
all I no longer need.
Now. Into the pit.
More power, Zok.
ZANDOR:
Now. Let's move inside.
It's a dead end, Zandor.
TORRAK:
Yes.
Dead end for you.
Let me show you.
Micro beetles.
We'll have to find
our way past them.
pop pop
That clears the passageway.
Let's go.
Zandor and the Herculoids
have managed to get past
my micro beetles.
Therefore, you will have
your chance, my pet.
Tara! Tara!
Zandor, go back.
Too late, Zandor.
Look!
Let's give Gloop and Gleep
some power, Tundro.
Tara, hurry.
Thanks, Igoo.
Torrak is not to be defeated.
Do you think Torrak escaped,
Zandor?
Yes. If he controls
that creature.
If not, he's used his evil power
for the last time.
