The Odyssey (1992–1994): Season 1, Episode 9 - Galileo & the Gypsies - full transcript
The sun in the Downworld disappears when Keith accidentally breaks Jay's telescope in the Upworld. The trio find a gypsy camp in the Downworld and hope their inventor, Galileo, can fix the object.
(mysterious music)
(adventurous music)
(birds chirping)
- This is stupid. There
isn't even a trail.
Why did we even come this way, anyway?
This place is infested with monitors.
- 'Cause the tower's this way.
(birds chirping)
(door creaks)
(people chattering distantly)
- I wish I'd never seen this thing.
(mysterious music)
Let me see that.
(telescope clatters)
- Now look what you've done.
(tense music)
- It wasn't my fault.
I didn't mean it.
It just happened.
(tense music)
- Holy. The telescope's making it go dark.
(tense suspenseful music)
- Make sure you get all the pieces.
- Why don't you put 'em in here?
(tense music)
Hey look, there's a light up ahead.
- Good, let's check it out.
- Bad idea. You're a wanted man.
There could be monitors down there.
- What else are we gonna do?
I've gotta get this fixed.
Let's go.
(glass clinking)
(people chattering distantly)
(Keith sighs)
- Oh, hi Keith.
Thanks for coming to visit Jay.
I know it means a lot to him.
- Oh that's okay.
- No, really. I really appreciate it.
And, thank you for taking care of Bentley.
You have been a lifesaver, you know.
- It's nothing.
See you around.
(menacing music)
- What are you gypsies up to now?
Bring back the light.
- We didn't take the light. How could we?
(objects clattering)
(tense somber music)
- I know you got some kind
of magician inventor kid
around here.
- Probably some kind of gypsy spell.
We gotta get rid of you guys.
- You've already pushed us
to the edge of the water.
Where are we gonna go?
- Guess we'll just have to
push you a little further.
- This is the last straw.
I want you guys outta here!
Or else, I'm bringing in
the army to round y'all up.
(suspenseful music)
(owl hooting)
- Don't trust the gypsies.
If they recognize you,
they'll turn you in to
the monitors, for sure.
- It's too dark. Anyway, they're gone.
(fire crackling)
Those monitors said you guys
had an inventor around here?
- They don't know us.
And we don't know you.
(gentle somber music)
- You feel hot, hun.
Hope it's not a fever.
(sighs) I better get Max to make sure.
(slow somber music)
(people chattering distantly)
(gentle melancholic music)
(gentle curious music)
- Come on.
- Now what are you doing?
- If they got an inventor here,
maybe he can fix telescopes.
I'm gonna to see if he's around.
- I don't wanna stay
here. It's too dangerous.
- Then go hide in a bush or something.
(gentle curious music)
(Flash sighs)
(gentle curious music)
- Hey, Flash?
How ya doin'?
It's me man, Ratchet. Your old club buddy?
- Ratchet?
Whoa.
What are you doin' here?
- Our club split apart after you left.
That's how kids get to be gypsies.
- Get out! Quit snooping!
- So you did take it.
- It fell on the floor.
I have to fix it.
- What do you know
about fixing telescopes?
- It wasn't my fault.
It just happened.
- If it was an accident,
why not just tell Jay's mom?
- Because maybe she's
got enough on her mind,
without worrying about a broken telescope.
- Well, you better have it
back by tomorrow afternoon.
'Cause if anyone asks,
I'm not lying for you.
(door slams)
(gentle somber music)
(haunting music)
(soft mysterious music)
- What's that thing?
- It's for light navigation.
It looks like we're gonna
have to set sail in the dark.
- The monitors were just here.
Yeah, they're blaming us
for this awful darkness.
- Hardly surprising. They
blame us for everything.
(bells chimes)
- Hello. Do you fix telescopes?
- What's a telescope?
(telescope pieces clattering)
- When you look through it,
far away things look close.
- (scoffs lightly) Wow.
What a fantastic invention.
How'd you make this? Who are you?
- Jay. And this is Alpha.
I didn't make it. I can't even fix it.
- I'm Galileo.
Hey, if I could fix this,
we could prove the promised land exists.
People could actually see it.
- What's the promised land?
- A place across the water,
away from, our troubles.
- But, why it called the promised land?
- Because I promised
the gypsies I'd find it.
- We've been push from
place to place for so long.
Now we have nowhere to go.
And, nobody wants to get in the ship and,
and look for place they can't see.
Especially not in this awful darkness.
- The dark came, when the telescope broke.
Maybe the light will
come back if you fix it.
- (sighs) Incredible.
- Look, we don't have much time.
Bring 'em down here, I'll talk to 'em,
while you fix the telescope, okay?
(boards creaking)
(knocking at door)
- Mr. Pendergast?
- Yes?
- Please, can you help me?
I must have been to a dozen camera stores.
One guy said that you fix telescopes.
I can pay.
- Arthritis.
(gentle sorrowful music)
(Keith sighs)
But maybe we can do something.
Come on in.
(door clicks shut)
- Listen to him. Give him a chance.
- The monitors are coming back soon.
You've gotta get ready to go.
- I'm not going anywhere in that tub.
- Not in the dark, that's for sure.
- What choice do you have?
The monitors are gonna push
you in the sea, anyway.
It might as well be on a boat.
- Says who?
I say we stand up to them.
- You can't beat the monitors,
Flash. You know that.
- Why not? There's lots of us.
We can build barricades. Fight back!
Look where running away's gotten you.
Your backs are up against the wall,
and you've got nowhere to go.
- Yeah, Flash is right.
- Let's stand and fight.
- [Kids] Stand and fight! Stand and fight!
Stand and fight! Stand and fight!
Stand and fight! Stand and fight!
- But, we do have somewhere
to go, the promised land.
- Oh, not the promised land again.
- How do we know it's even out there?
- Because Galileo is working
on something right now
that'll show you the promised land.
You'll be able to see
it with your own eyes.
- Come on, let's get
our belongings together,
before it's too late.
(gentle somber music)
- I like your idea better.
Who knows when the light'll
come back. We need a leader.
- This dark isn't an accident.
Jay's telescope made it happen.
- No kidding?
Like a day-night control unit.
What if you could turn it
on and off when you wanted?
- What for?
- You could make it dark and go on raids.
Then you can make it light
again, when you wanted.
Even the monitors would be scared of us.
- Say, I took over.
I'd find them a place to live.
I didn't even get the
monitors outta their faces.
But I wouldn't turn them
into a pack of thieves.
No wonder you ended up here.
- Could've happened to you, too.
(tense scary music)
(door creaks open)
(monitors marching rhythmically)
It's okay, let me handle this.
- Time's up.
- I've got a deal for you guys.
- We don't deal.
- Shh. I can get the
thing that made it night.
- What do you think we're morons?
- It's a gadget. I can get it.
But, you've gotta give
me something for it.
A tower bracelet.
- Hand it over, and avoid pain.
- You gotta give me time to get it.
But only for the bracelet.
- Okay.
But guess what happens
if you don't produce?
- Yeah, yeah.
Pound me to a pulp.
Just come back in awhile.
(deep somber music)
(monitors marching rhythmically)
- Way to go. What'd you say to 'em?
(clocks ticking)
- No, no, slow down. What's your hurry?
- It belongs to a guy I know.
I'm sort of doing this for him,
as a favor.
He kind of had an accident.
- Hey, everybody!
It's fixed, it's fixed.
Now, we can see the promised land!
Where is it?
(deep somber music)
- Hey man, you said that
thing would make it light.
You said.
- Hey, take it easy.
- I'm a dead man.
- I don't see anything.
- 'Cause it ain't there.
Broken promised land, if you ask me.
- Let me see.
- Promised land was a
crock from the word, "Go".
- Galileo's full of it. We've gotta fight.
- We need Flash to lead us.
He could get us out of this.
- [Kids] Flash is right, stand and fight!
Flash is right, stand and fight!
Flash is right, stand and fight!
Flash is right, stand and fight!
Flash is right, stand and fight!
Flash is right, stand and fight!
(haunting music)
- I was there when it happened.
Now he's in a coma.
- Well, there are some
things you can't fix.
The trick is putting it behind you,
and fixing what you can.
Oh, wait a minute.
Where, where, where's the
lens for the eye piece?
(mysterious music)
- Oh, no. It must still be in his room.
- Well, it's easy to fix. You
just drop the lens in there.
You can put it on yourself. (chuckles)
You've done a good job.
- (sighs) Gotta go.
Thanks, Mr. Pendergast.
- So, Keith says I'll have
it back by this afternoon.
So, don't worry. It'll
be our little secret.
- I'm pretty sure I saw it here yesterday.
- Well, I'll check with
the other staff members.
They might've misplaced it.
I'm sure it'll turn up somewhere.
- He's still pretty warm.
- Well, I checked his temperature
and he's not running a fever.
Don't worry. We'll keep a
close eye on him. (groans)
- You haven't seen the
telescope, have you, Donna?
- Um, not today.
I'm sure it'll turn up.
(deep suspenseful music)
- Yeah, put that right here.
Now we need to gather some weapons.
We need to get some slingshot ammo.
We need to find some stuff to throw.
- Give me it, Flash.
- Why? Doesn't even work.
Besides, all it does is bring trouble.
- It's mine. Hand it over.
- It brought me trouble and Alpha!
It's brought the gypsies trouble,
and it turned my world dark.
I say we get rid of it!
- I know you don't understand,
but I gotta get it home.
- Sure, just like the promised land.
"It's out there somewhere."
Yeah, right.
- It's real when you get there,
which you never will,
unless you keep trying.
- Yeah? Well, it's better
than taking a boat to nowhere.
That's like running away.
I mean, at least if the monitors beat us,
we'll have stood our ground.
I don't wanna have anything
to do with this, anymore.
(gentle somber music)
(door creaks open)
(barrels clattering)
(tense foreboding music)
- Where's that ugly little twerp?
He promised us the gadget.
- The thing that brings back the light.
- Who's in charge here?
(tense foreboding music)
(Flash gagging)
Tell me where it is,
or we're gonna throw him off the dock.
Don't make us hurt him.
Just bring back the light.
- Uh, let me go!
(Flash coughing)
- Stop.
Here it is.
(tense somber music)
- Get outta here.
(tense somber music)
(wood creaking)
- In the name of Brad, I
command daylight to come back.
(Flash coughing)
That kid sucked us in.
Okay, undo the spell,
and bring back the light.
(Flash coughing)
Or, we're gonna throw y'all in the ocean.
(Flash coughing)
(people chattering distantly)
(slow eerie music)
(whistle shrilling)
(tense adventurous music)
(kids screaming)
(Flash coughing)
- Flash, are you okay?
(kids yelling)
(tense adventurous music)
(fabric rips)
(tense adventurous music)
(kids yelling)
- Look at that.
- [Boy] What happened?
- [Boy] Oh, it's the light.
- Wow.
(group cheering)
Wow.
So I wonder what did make it dark.
- Maybe it was an asteroid. (chuckles)
Well, what about that
kid who sucked us in?
We should pound him.
- Definitely.
(boy chuckles)
(whistle toots)
(soft tense music)
- Hi, Keith.
- Hi.
- (gasps) Great, you found the telescope.
- [Keith] Yeah.
- Hi, Jay.
Oh good, you feel a bit cooler.
(steady somber music)
- [Girl] I knew it was gonna come back.
- Do plans go in reverse? Like a stream?
- [Jay] Galileo!
(kids chattering)
- Huh, wow.
There it is, the promised land.
Hey, everybody.
Look.
That's where we're going.
- (sighs) Let's get into
the boat and go now.
- Come with us. We're gonna be free.
- Thanks, but I'm going to the tower.
- Sure, count me in.
(slow mysterious music)
