The Herculoids (1967–1969): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Pod Creatures/Mekkor - full transcript
NARRATOR: Somewhere out in
space live the Herculoids.
Zok, the laser-ray dragon!
Igoo, the giant rock ape!
Tundro, the tremendous!
Gloop and Gleep,
the formless, fearless wonders.
With Zandor, their leader...
...and his wife Tara
and son Dorno.
They team up
to protect their planet
from sinister invaders!
All-strong.
All-brave. All-heroes.
They're the Herculoids.
Did you hear
that sound, Zandor?
Yes, Tara, I've never
heard it before.
I better see what it is.
Zok, Zok? Zok?
ZANDOR: Zok? Zok?
If you see Dorno and Igoo,
tell 'em to stay close to home.
Don't worry, Tara.
We'll look for them.
Nothing unusual from up here.
Let's go down and
have a look around.
Zok, you go look for Dorno.
Okay, Iggy,
one more tree oughta do it.
That's enough firewood, Iggy.
Gleep and I are tired
just from watching.
There's that strange sound
again. Let's go see what it is.
Hold it, Iggy.
The sound has stopped.
Came from over that way.
Let's go.
Look, Igoo,
what are those things?
Come on.
Let's take a closer look.
Looks like some kind
of weird vegetable.
It's opening behind you, Igoo.
It's alive.
They're coming after us.
Let's go.
Head for the caves.
Separate, Gleep, separate.
This way, Iggy, over here.
Stay close, Gleep.
Come on, Iggy.
That's Igoo.
Something's wrong.
I'll signal Zandor.
Tundro, call Zandor.
- What is it, Tara?
- Listen, it's Igoo.
- And Dorno's with him.
ZANDOR: Let's go, Zok.
And hurry, Zandor.
Follow us, Tundro.
Gloop, you stay and guard Tara.
Watch those tendrils, Igoo.
Hold them off, Igoo,
till Zandor gets here.
It's got me.
Help, Igoo.
DORNO: Igoo!
DORNO: Thanks, Igoo.
Look out, Gleep,
here's another one.
They're getting through.
I can't get loose.
DORNO: Keep fighting.
There they are, Zok.
Let's go.
It's Zandor.
Hurry, Zandor.
I'll stop 'em, Zok.
Gosh, that's the end
of all those pod creatures.
Yes, Dorno, but I've an idea
that there's more
where they came from.
I suspect that spaceship
could give us all the answers.
And our answer to them
was our animal army.
Right, let's go home, Dorno.
Go and do not return until
all opposition is removed.
MEKKOR: Secure our outposts
and prepare for next step
to take over this planet.
Obey only my orders.
What's that?
Listen, something's coming.
Duck.
What are they? I've never
seen anything like that.
It sees us. Look out.
They're after us.
Let's get outta here.
MEKKOR: Secure hostages.
We gotta find Tundro or Igoo.

What's the matter, Zok?
Oh...
That's Zok. There's trouble.
Who are you?
What do you want?
Oh...
Gloop, uh, I'm helpless.
Ah, thanks, Gloop.
Keep that thing busy
while I look into this.
They're still after us.
We can't shake 'em.
That was great, Gleep.
That slowed 'em down.
Keep a sharp lookout
for more of 'em.
DORNO: Hey!
Thanks, Gleep.
You're a lifesaver.
I'm alright, Igoo,
but we've got to find Dorno.
Tundro, they're all over
the place. We're surrounded.
Those robots seem
to be operating on
some hidden power source,
you think we can locate it, Zok?
ZANDOR: Alright. Let's go.
DORNO: Look, they're everywhere.
We don't have a chance.
Could that be it?
Let's go after it, Zok.
They're still after us, Igoo.
Tara, over here.
TARA: Dorno, I'm so glad
we found you.
It's too late now.
They've surrounded us.
And there's no escape.
TARA: Something's happened.
They've stopped.
And just in time too.
It's coming up, Zok.
Blast it.
What's going to become
of all these robots, Zandor?
They'll stay
where they are, Dorno.
Someday the forest
will claim them all.
Meanwhile, we have peace again.
