The Herculoids (1967–1969): Season 1, Episode 3 - The Raiders - full transcript

There's something flying close
to the ground.

Wait, look down there.

It's Zandor. He must not see us.

Turn on the invisibility screen.

I was almost sure
I saw a strange ship in this area.

Guess I was wrong. Let's go, Zok.

STA-LAK:
He's gone. Return to visibility.

Good. Now eject the decoy smoke.

Decoy smoke ejecting.

- Is the decoy working?
- It is working.

Good.



Proceed over the clearing
in Zandor's territory.

Gloop, that ship looks
as if it's in trouble.

They're trying to land here.

Are--? Are you all right?

Yes, we are lucky to have landed safely.

We, uh, could use some help.

Is Zandor here?

No. My husband and Dorno, my son,
are away.

You're welcome to stay and wait for him.
He'll be glad to help.

In that case,
we won't be needing any help.

Quickly, into the ship.

TARA: What's the meaning of this?
STA-LAK: With you as hostage...

...the riches of this planet
will soon be mine.

- Get in.
- Gloop, help!



(BABBLING)

Destroy that creature, then we leave.

Destroy creature.

Quickly. We must leave.

STA-LAK:
That thing's got us.

Turn on the magno-power.

TARA:
You'll never get away with this.

Magno-power on.

(BABBLING)

Zandor will find you, wherever you go.

With you as hostage,
I have nothing to fear.

We lose altitude.

Something is wrong with ship.

STA-LAK: That thing must have broken
one of the spherod controls.

Land for repairs.

Let her go, Igoo.

(GROANS)

(BABBLES)

Wowee!

Boy, that was great, Iggy.

The highest dive yet.

(GLOOP BABBLING)

It's Gloop. Something's wrong.

(BABBLING)

Strangers? When?

(BABBLES)

My mother's been taken prisoner?

I'll call Zandor.

(TRUMPETS)

Faster, Zok, Dorno's calling.
It sounds like trouble.

If I know Zandor, he will be here soon...

...so hurry those repairs.

Zandor will get here
before you can leave.

Do not worry. I am ready for him.

(SQUAWKING)

I've found them,
at the base of the white cliffs.

Follow me, and fast.

Right, Zandor.

(BABBLES)

(ROARS)

When the rest of us are in position, Dorno,
you and Tundro create a diversion.

- We'll do the rest.
- We're ready.

All right, let's go. And be careful.

- When can we leave?
- Almost finished.

Prepare to place the hostage aboard.

That's us, Tundro. Let's go.

(TUNDRO GROWLING)

The ship will fly now.

What is that?

(ROARING)

It is Zandor's creature.
Use your stun rays.

Down, Gleep. They're shooting at us.

Oof!

Ah, thanks, Gleep.

(BABBLES)

Look, another one. Stop him.

(ROARING)

Stop, or the woman will be destroyed.

(ROARS)

(BABBLING)

The hostage, she is gone.

(GROWLS)

Use your rays.

(ROARS)

I can still escape.

It will not move.

I shall give it full power.

(ROARING)

No, Igoo, no!

(ROARS)

I am not finished yet, Zandor.

It's up to us, Zok.
Don't let him get away.

(ZOK SQUAWKS)

Zandor's after the ship.

We can't let him escape, Zok.

So Zandor follows.

I have a special welcome for him.

Careful, Zok. We can expect anything.

Ease in close and we might be able
to take over the ship.

Closer, Zandor, closer.

Now my mega-blast will finish them.

Look out, Zok.

Good move, Zok.
We'll have to try a different approach.

You were lucky that time, Zandor.

My plans may have been foiled...

...but I can still destroy Zandor.

Now, Zok, now.

This energy rock should stop him.

(ROARING)

He's out of control.

(SQUAWKS)

Why do people do such things, Zandor?

I don't know, Tara.

But creatures like that help us to realize
that what we have is worth protecting.
