All language subtitles for Voyagers! - S01E13 - The Trial of Phineas Bogg

The defendant,
Phineas Bogg,

disobeyed all
rules and statutes
of the voyager code.

That's a lie.

The boy must be returned
to the exact time and
place Bogg found him.

Give it up. Let's go.

(EXCLAIMS)

If we're gonna have any chance
of clearing ourselves,

we've got to get
out of here.

Phineas.
Don't touch that!

Bogg.

Bogg!

BOGG: We travel through time
to help history along,

give it a push
where it's needed.

Bogg!

BOGG: When the Omni's red,
it means history's wrong.

Our job's to get
everything back on track.

(OMNI dings)

Green light, kid! We did it!

(PLUMMETING)

(GROANING)

Hey, why don't you
tell me the next time
we're leaving?

I didn't know
we were going anywhere.

Well, I didn't
trigger the Omni.

Neither did I.

Then where are we?

But the Omni...
The Omni's not talking.

Looks like some
kind of courtroom.

Bogg, I'm scared.

(LAUGHS)
Hey.

Nothing to be scared about.
We're back in school.

School? This doesn't
look like P.S. 132.

Not your school.
This is my alma mater,
Voyager School.

JEFFREY: Then what
are we doing here?

I don't know.

Must be a class reunion
or a homecoming
or something.

I can't wait to
see the old gang.

(DOOR OPENS)

Susan.

Hello, Phineas.

You look just as great
as I remember.

Boy, is it good
to see you again!

Bogg?

Bogg?

Susan, this is...

Jeffrey, remember?
Jeffrey.

We know all about
the young Mr. Jones.

So, this is the little
boy voyager, huh?

Oh, stop it, Drake.
You're scaring him.

Phineas Bogg.

It's been a long time
since we last met.

I could've gone
a few more centuries
without seeing you again.

Who is this guy?

Bogg and I were in
the same voyager class.

He's a voyager?

Yeah, Drake's
an old classmate.

You guys were friends?

I wouldn't go that far.

Yes, but a lot has
changed since then.

BOGG: Looks like
a new Omni.
Model 3-1650,

open-time calibration,
state-of-the-art.

But most important,

there's a new
voyager credo.

Discipline and order
above all else.

That's the direction
the new voyager majority
has mandated.

What new mandate?
What's he talking about?

Drake's been elected
code-violation prosecutor.

There are more and more
voyagers who support the
new movement of discipline.

Voyagers on every level.

Field workers,
administrators,

even judges.

Is he serious?
Are things changing
that much?

I'm afraid so.

And it looks as if
you're Drake's
latest example.

Me? What did I do?

You've done your duty
as a voyager.

But Drake'll make it look
as if you've subverted
the code.

These are very serious
charges, Phineas.

But Bogg's the best
voyager you've got.

Many fine men and women
have been banished,
thanks to Drake.

Bogg?

Now, don't worry.
The tribunal will be fair.

Well, let's hope so.
If they find you guilty,
you'll be banished.

Where?

A tiny desert island,
uncharted.

Without the Omni.

(DOOR OPENS)

SUSAN: Drake's already
got Brindle on his side.

Yeah, well, I always figured
she twisted her bun
a little tight.

BOGG: Hey, that's
Professor Garth.

The best teacher
in the whole school.

He really made me
understand what being
a voyager is all about.

SUSAN: Well,
he's your one hope.

He's the last elder
who stood against Drake.

JEFFREY: What about him?

SUSAN: That's Kane.

He respects Garth,
but he's still
afraid of Drake.

Drake isn't above using
anything he can
to win his case.

Real hotshot, huh?

Thirty trials,
thirty convictions.

Great.

I'll just defend myself
the best I can.

The best we can.
I'm your defense attorney.

(BANGING GAVEL)

This court will
come to order.

Is the prosecution ready?

Yes, Your Honor.

GARTH: And defense?

I haven't had
much time with
the defendant.

If I could have
a little time to
discuss the evidence...

Your Honor, I believe the
evidence should be debated
openly in this court.

Unless, of course,
the accused feels
the need

for secret meetings
to manufacture
his defense.

I don't even know
what I'm defending
myself against.

Will the prosecution
please read the charges?

I'd be happy to,
Your Honor.

I bet.

The defendant,
Phineas Bogg,

has consistently and
purposefully disobeyed

all rules and statutes
of the voyager code.

That's a lie.

(BANGING GAVEL)

GARTH: Please, keep your
client under control.

Well, he should
have a chance to
defend himself.

If he can.

Let him take the stand.

Voyager Bogg,
would you give the
bailiff your Omni?

BOGG: My Omni?

The court needs your device
for the evidence stored
in its memory unit.

Now, remember,
all those in this court

are under the voyager oath
to speak only the truth.

Yes, sir.

Proceed with
the charges.

The defendant,
Phineas Bogg,

violated territorial
parameters by traveling
to the year 1982,

a year Bogg is
not authorized
to operate in...

I was trying to get to 1492.
My Omni malfunctioned.

...and did, on that
unauthorized mission,

enter the room of this boy,
Jeffrey Jones,

and did lose his Guidebook.

Where's Columbus, kid?

Where am I?

JEFFREY: He didn't lose it.
My dog took it.

BRINDLE:
Phineas Bogg, voyager,
overpowered by a boy's dog?

Why were you not able
to recover your book?

My hands were kind of
full at the time.

With what?

With Jeffrey. Look.

Come on, Ralph, give it up.
Let's go.

(EXCLAIMS)

(JEFFREY YELLING)

JEFFREY: Bogg saved my life!

If he hadn't jumped out
of that window for me,

I would've been
all over the pavement.

DRAKE: If Mr. Bogg
had not violated the code,

the boy's life would not
have needed rescuing.

Your Honor, heroism
is often a matter
of circumstance.

Yes, I quite agree.

And since these
circumstances were caused
by a malfunctioning Omni,

it appears that
Mr. Bogg is blameless.

Then who do we blame
for the violations?
This boy?

The kid didn't do
anything wrong.

DRAKE: Not willfully.

Which brings us to
the most serious charge,

the boy being used
on voyager missions.

My Omni couldn't get
him back home to 1982.

There must have been an
adequate care facility for
the child somewhere in time.

An orphanage?

Yes.

I figured he would be
better off with me.

Then you must be
held responsible
for that decision.

I made Bogg take me with him.

BOGG: Nice to know you, kid.

Sorry for any inconvenience,
but I work alone.

Oh, no, you don't.
You got me into this,
you get me out.

I got school tomorrow.

Can't take you back.

I don't even know
where I am.

France, 1918.
Revolutionary War.

First World War.

What?

I just wanted to help.

Your motives are not
in question here.

But an experienced voyager

should have known
better than to take
along with him

such a young,
untrained civilian
on voyager missions,

involving matters of such
historical importance.

The kid is
a historical ace.

I couldn't ask for
a better partner.

Well, perhaps Mr. Bogg's
memories are shadowed
by sentiment.

Hmm?

The mission in question
started in Rome.

44 B.C.

Caesar had been murdered
on the Senate floor,

and Voyager Bogg took
Cleopatra out of the city.

I had always hoped
that I'd bump into
you someday.

BOGG: I didn't do it
on purpose.

When she kissed me,
she pushed the Omni.

Come on,
let's wrap this up.

Bogg?

Bogg?

...back on your
throne in Egypt.

I'd rather be queen
of this magnificent land.

(WOLF WHISTLE)

There's nothing for me
back there.

Jeffrey is back there.

Then you go back
and get him.

I'm taking you with me.

(WOLF WHISTLE)
Now, what's the harm
in my looking around

this great,
glorious land?

I'm in no danger here.

MAN: Lucky Lindy's
landed in France!

(ALL CHEERING)

BOGG: Cleopatra?

Cleopatra?

So, Voyager Bogg left
Cleopatra in New York.

I didn't leave her,
I lost her.

And I wouldn't have lost her
if I didn't have to go back
and get Jeffrey.

Exactly.

But Jeffrey ended up
helping me find her.

Then you trust
this young man.

With my life.

Well, we can only hope he was
more careful with your life
than he was with your Omni.

JEFFREY: You've wrecked it.
It's totaled!

Now I'll never
get back to him.

What?
You stupid idiot.

Now I'll never get
back to Bogg!

Hey, kid, easy.

It's all right, Kruesi.
Let him yell.

Don't touch
those parts!

Move one out of place,

and I'll never
be able to put it
back together again.

You can get it back?

Kid, this is Thomas Edison.

He probably
invented the thing.

Well, the Omni did work
better than ever after that.

Your Honor, all the
episodes in question
did end successfully.

I appreciate the skill

and the judgment
required in field work.

The last-minute decisions
that must be made.

But even in the field,
Your Honor,

there's no substitute
for careful planning

and rigid adherence to
the rules and regulations.

What do you know
about it, Drake?

You've been riding that desk
ever since graduation.

You are on trial here,
not Mr. Drake.

But Bogg shouldn't
be on trial.

JEFFREY: He's the best
voyager there is!

Mr. Bogg was not
class valedictorian.

But his record does appear
to be beyond reproach.

Until he took the boy.

He didn't take me.
I wanted to be with him.

A good voyager cannot
be such a bad companion
for a boy.

I would agree,
if only the boy's life had
not been put in jeopardy.

Are you charging this voyager
with intentional disregard
for Jeffrey Jones' safety?

Yes.

That's a lie.

Is a gladiator school
a fit place for a young boy?

DRAKE: I think fighting in
a training ring in Capua is
very dangerous work indeed.

Bogg, look!

Bogg, over here.

Now, Bogg, now!

I never would've let
that animal hurt Jeffrey.

Yet you endangered the boy
once again during World War I.

Shoot them!

Shoot him.

I am!

Then hit him.

JEFFREY:
He's coming right at us.

JEFFREY: No, stay up,
we're gonna stall.

BOGG: We're gonna what?

Pull Up! Pull up!

I can't.

BOGG: We're gonna
go down, kid!

Your Honor, I object.

No, I object.

I object to this
man using this boy,
a defenseless youngster,

to serve his own
selfish purposes.

It's not true.
Make him stop!

I can explain all this.
He's twisting
everything around.

I love Jeffrey.
I'd never let anything
happen to him.

The facts speak for
themselves, Your Honor.

Your Honor, may the defendant
have the chance to answer
these charges?

Oh, yes. But be warned,
Phineas Bogg,

you have much to answer for.

You know, the prosecutor's
turning everything around
so it looks bad for Bogg.

He's doing a pretty
good job of it, too.

Just like he did
with all the others.

Why doesn't somebody
stop him?

We're trying to, Jeffrey,
but with each conviction
Drake becomes more powerful.

JEFFREY: He's a real creep.

Never was my favorite
person, either,

but he's entitled
to his opinion.

No matter how stupid it is?

Jeffrey's right.

Drake's ideas always were
a little off-center.

He's considered the brilliant
young maverick now.

Brilliant?

Phineas, he was
class valedictorian.

He cheated.

I know that sounds
like sour grapes,
but it's the truth.

You don't have to
convince me.

His evidence always
does fall into place
a little too neatly.

You think he makes up stuff
just to get voyagers
like Bogg in trouble?

Unfortunately, what I feel
and what I can prove are
two different things.

Well, he's the hotshot
prosecutor and I'm just
a dumb field worker.

You were smart enough
to be whatever you wanted.

You just never
applied yourself.

Yeah, Bogg,
you told me you never
paid much attention

because there was this
really sexy blonde
in your class, and...

(BOGG CHUCKLES)

Sorry.

Oh, really?

I never caught you at it.

Oh, well, you know me.
Subtle, discreet.

I wish you'd been
a little less subtle.
Give a girl a chance.

(DOOR OPENS)

(GAVEL BANGING)

The voyager ethics tribunal
is again in session.

Your Honor, I'd like to call
the defendant, Phineas Bogg,
to the stand.

Your Honor,

we intend to show
that Phineas Bogg
and Jeffrey Jones

may have violated
the letter,

but not the spirit,
of the voyager code.

So, Phineas Bogg,

you find yourself
in the field without
your voyager Guidebook.

That's right.
But I had Jeffrey.

Are you telling this
tribunal that Jeffrey
became your Guidebook?

Yes. I'll admit
I was a little leery
about it at first myself.

(WHIRRING)

And I haven't got
the foggiest idea
what I'm supposed to do.

(BABY GURGLING)

You got an idea, kid?

This is Egypt.

1450 B.C.

(BOGG CHUCKLES)

Moses!

What?

You be careful with him,
will you?

He's Moses.

(LAUGHS)

Moses?

Moses was an old man
with white whiskers.

Looks like Santa Claus
with a part in the middle.

What are you doing?

Putting him back
in the water.

He'll drown.

(SHUSHING)

Look.

Moses was found by
the Pharaoh's daughter

in the Nile.

So you see, if it weren't
for Jeffrey, I wouldn't
have known what to do.

If Bogg had not lost
his Guidebook,

he would not have needed the
boy telling him what to do.

(CHUCKLING) Yes.

I'm afraid a boy,
however bright,

cannot equal the knowledge
of a voyager handbook.

Begging your pardon, sir,
but the kid knows much
more than a Guidebook.

More even than some voyagers.

For example?

There was this one time
when we had to
get Babe Ruth

to stop pitching
and start hitting.

SUSAN: And how did
Jeffrey help?

He taught me how to pitch
1982 style,

and I struck
every batter out.

And that led to Mr. Ruth
quitting the team.

Is that true?
BOGG: Sort of.

But Jeff taught Babe
to hit 1982 style.

MAN: Hit it, Babe.

Come on, Babe, rip it.

So Jeffrey's knowledge of
modern baseball helped
on that assignment.

Yeah, and the kid's
got guts, too.

A voyager's got
to have spirit,

so when everybody's
telling you you're wrong,

you got the courage
to fight back.

And a voyager's got to be able
to make people take a new look
at a situation.

To give people the confidence
to take that one extra chance.

(WHIRRING)

MORGAN: Pulling me and
my bank out of this mess.

MAN: J. P!

Mr. Morgan!

Yes, son?

I haven't got
much time.

You haven't got
much sense, either.

What?
Please, son.

Thomas Edison
is the greatest
inventor alive.

The phonograph,
the repeating telegraph.

He even made
the telephone
work better.

That is not what's at issue.

Look, you wanna make
some money, right?

That's the general idea, yes.

Well, then what other
inventor would you rather
invest your money in?

Thomas Edison's
got a track record
that just won't quit.

Track record.
Interesting expression.

You miss out
on the electric light,

and you're gonna miss out
on an invention

that's going to change
the face of this world.

It's a gold mine here.

You're looking
at a fortune.

All right, all right.
I give in.

Thank God!

On two conditions.

The first is that you,
young man,

come to see me
when you're an adult.

I could use a man
with your persuasion.

Second is that I see
some positive results
in 48 hours.

Otherwise, Tom,
we're back
where we started.

Good day.

EDISON: All right, Upton.
Let's give it a try.

Yeah. More.

An inch more.

That's it.

(ALL CHEERING)

So, the court can see
that the boy's fortitude
and conviction

have served the
voyager code well.

I am impressed with
the boy's ability.

He does seem to be quite
a bit beyond his years.

In mind, perhaps.

But precocious boys
can never be trusted
with the work of a man.

Or a woman.

I don't know about that.

There was another time
when Jeffrey rescued me

from right under the noses
of a bunch of witch hunters.

MAN: Bring the devil
to his end now!

JEFFREY: No, no, no.
You can't! It's not right!

Will Satan help you, devil?

Or do you need this talisman
to set you free?

(LAUGHING)

PEOPLE:
Burn, devil. Burn!

ALL: Burn, devil, burn!
Burn, devil, burn!

He's vanished!

I think that story says less
about the boy than the voyager
so dependent upon his help.

Phineas Bogg is
the perfect example

of the type of voyager
that weakens our ranks.

I think you'll find
this another example
of Phineas Bogg's

violation of
voyager code.

One where he allowed
a pretty face to sway
his judgment.

Placing Abraham Lincoln's
life in grave danger,

and nearly changing the
outcome of the Civil War.

And you're sure
about the route?

Absolutely. Are you
sure of your men?

They'll be in place.

Make sure they know
whose side I'm on.

Don't worry.

There's gonna be
another change in plans.

Jane Phillips, a traitor.

I can't believe it.

Not a traitor, Mr. Lincoln,
a patriot.

Two patriots, in fact.

So, as Phineas Bogg conspired
to kidnap Lincoln...

That's a lie.
Your Honor, that is
the sad, pathetic truth.

This man is unfit
to be a voyager.

The pathetic truth, Drake,
is that you don't know

the first thing about
being a voyager!
Order!

Your Honor, I move that
that remark be stricken
from the record.

It's not relevant
to his case.

Mr. Drake, that was
an improper remark.

Though I'm afraid that Voyager
Bogg's execution of his duty
is the essence of this case.

But, Your Honor,
my client has testified.

That was a total
misrepresentation
of what took place.

I'm afraid the court
is obliged to believe
only what it sees.

But, Your Honor,
that was not...

The witness
may step down.

We must now weigh
the evidence
presented here.

And our decision will affect
not only the career of
Voyager Phineas Bogg,

and the future of
young Jeffrey Jones,

but the fate
of all voyagers.

Of course, ultimately,

we're charged
with upholding
the voyager code,

and the safety of the past,
present and future,

which that code
and all voyagers
are sworn to defend.

Court is adjourned.

BOGG: It didn't happen
that way, I swear.

Yeah, it was Bogg
that saved Lincoln.

Why would the Omni
show it like that?

I don't know,

but somehow Drake always
manages to come up with that
kind of damaging evidence.

The only way he could've come
up with something like that
is if he messed with the Omni.

There's no use arguing
with the tribunal.

If we're gonna have any chance
of clearing ourselves,

we've got to get
out of here.

SUSAN: Phineas.

Sorry, Susan,
there's no other way.

Don't touch that!

JEFFREY: Bogg, don't!

Bogg!

Well, kid, I guess
we're not going
anywhere after all.

You are.
An uncharted desert
island, remember?

I think you're jumping
the gun a little bit,
don't you think?

Maybe the jury
will clear me
on the charges.

Oh, fat chance.

That Drake already
has Garth convinced.

One look at that evidence
and anybody'd be convinced.

I've always known Drake
was capable of anything,
including perjury,

to further
his own ambitions.

How are we gonna make
the judges believe that?

Sometimes it's very difficult
to prove when someone's lying.

In school we all knew
Drake cheated on his exams,
but nobody could prove it.

BOGG: Until he gave
himself away.

How?

He sure kept track
of how he did it.

Every time he cheated
and got away with it,

it was like winning
a battle or something.

He kept a diary?

Yeah.

I found all his little notes
in a copy of The Prince
by Machiavelli.

JEFFREY:
And did you
turn him in?

No, I didn't wanna
be a snitch.

Just him knowing
I knew was enough.

I'm sure that's why
he hates me.

What did you do
with the book?

I gave it back to him.

A place to record
all his other victories...
And where are you going?

Don't worry,
I'll be back in time.

And Jeffrey,
nobody's gonna
be banished.

Where's she going?

I think she's gonna
try and find something
to clear us of the charges.

Funny, when we were doing
all those things,

it sure didn't
feel like we were
committing any crimes.

I thought we were doing
some pretty good work.

We're gonna get
punished anyway.

Ah, what's the worst
they can do to us?

Separate us.

Yeah.

Bogg, I don't
wanna leave you.

It's gonna be okay.

No, it's not gonna be okay.
It'll never be okay again.

Whatever happens,
you've got the rest of
your life ahead of you.

Think of all the things
you're gonna do,

all the people
that are gonna
come into your life.

And all the people
are gonna leave me.

Jeffrey, don't talk like that.

Why not?
It's the truth.

First my parents,
and now you.

I was just getting
so I could go
through the night

without having bad dreams
about my folks.

(SNIFFLING)

And now I'm gonna have
those dreams all over
again about you.

(SOBBING)

You're not gonna have
any dreams about me,
good or bad.

How do you know?

Just believe me, you're lucky.
You're not gonna
remember anything.

You mean
I'm not gonna remember
about being a voyager?

Yeah.

And I suppose
I'll forget about
the Omni.

Yeah, you will.

And I'll forget
about you?

No, Bogg, that's
not gonna happen.

I'm never gonna
let that happen.

You can't fight it, kid,
it's the voyager code.

Nothing can make me forget
all we've been through.

Like the time we helped
the Wright brothers

so they'd invent
the airplane.

Out of the way, boy.

It's suicide!

I'm a voyager, kid.
Sometimes you gotta
bite the bullet.

No!

Bogg, don't!

No!

Phineas!

Our glider!
Will, it's our glider.

It's flying.

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

It's flying!

Phineas.

Look at him!

"Bite the bullet."
I'll never forget that.

Yeah, too bad
all my messages didn't
get through as clearly.

What do you mean?
I always listened to you.

Sure, you did. Like the
time I told you to stay
away from Billy the Kid.

BOGG: All you wanted to do
was shoot that gun.

We're gonna stop here
for a spell.

Why?

I'm waiting for my men.

(SNAKE RATTLING)

Look out!

(GUN FIRES)

(HORSES NEIGHING)

Wow! That was fast!

I wish I could do that.

You mean you haven't
learned to shoot yet?

I've never even
picked up a gun before.

Well, not a real one
at least.

Then I'm gonna
show you how.

I got some tins of beans
in my saddle bags.

Make good targets.

Wait a minute.

I don't think
that's a good idea.

He's gotta learn sometime.

You can't survive out here
without knowing
how to use a gun.

Come on, Bogg.

Would you excuse us
a minute?

Bogg, how many kids
get the chance

to learn how to shoot
from Billy the Kid?

None, I hope.

We're just gonna
be shooting tin cans.

No way.

Please, Bogg,
it'll be a good experience.

I said no! That's final.

Here you go.

Try your hand at it, kid.

BOGG: Well, that time
you did listen.

JEFFREY: Yeah, but I didn't
learn my lesson

until I saw how
you handled the gun.

I don't need this.

Give me a gun.
Somebody give me a gun.

I'm Billy the Kid.

Billy's not much
without his gun, is he?

Come back here.
I mean it!

Not much with it, either.

Maybe this is all
happening for the best.

I don't know...

Maybe I should've left you
with your great-grandparents.

(SINGING) Holy night

All is calm

All is bright

Round yon
Virgin Mother and Child

Holy Infant
so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night

Holy night

Shepherds quake

At the sight

Glories stream
from heaven above...

Where's Bogg?

Jeffrey.

Jeffrey, wait.
Jeff, wait.

Bogg! Bogg, wait.

We were singing
Christmas carols,

and all of a sudden
you were just gone.

Where's your coat?
You're gonna catch a cold.

Bogg, what's going on?
Where are you going?

I'm leaving.

Leaving? Without me?

Yeah. Without you.
But why?

Your great-grandfather
can say it a million times
better than I can.

Say what?

That they can take care of you
better than I can.

There's nothing wrong
with the way
you take care of me.

Being a voyager
is no life for a kid.

Greek food one day,
Chinese food the next.
No holidays...

Did you ever
hear me complaining?

Yeah.

A lot.

Now go back there
and get warm and happy.

Bogg, stop it!

What do you think
you're doing?

What I should've done
a long time ago.

Giving you a home
with a mother and father
who love you.

But I don't want them.

I want you.

You can have a family.

But I've already got
a family!

Don't you understand?

It's you.

(SOBBING)

Please don't let them
take me, Bogg.

I don't think I can
stop them, Jeff.

But if they do take you,

I'll make them take you back
to before I came along.

(SNIFFLING)

Before the accident.

Before your parents died.
I promise.

That's a promise
I won't break.

(DOOR OPENS)

This is it, kid.

Where's Susan?

I don't know.

But they've got to
wait for her.

Whatever happens,
we're still a team.

Mmm-hmm.

Voyagers.

(GAVEL BANGING)

Court is back in session.

Come on, kid.
Time to bite the bullet.

Will the defendant
please rise?

Where is your counsel?

She's trying to find
the evidence that'll prove
Drake's been lying.

Oh, this
is outrageous.

The prosecution has submitted
a new piece of evidence,

the substance of which
takes the matter out of
the court's hands.

Bailiff, would you
please escort the boy
from the courtroom?

Look, I stood trial.
Am I guilty or innocent?

Bogg?

It's all right,
go ahead.

Voyager Bogg,
it is not a matter
of guilt or innocence.

BOGG: I have a right to know
what Drake's come up with now.

Would the defendant
please approach the bench?

The new information
involves the boy.

Jeffrey's never done
a truly bad thing
in his life.

No, it's not a matter
of the good or the bad
that he has done,

but of the good
he has yet to do.

See for yourself.

Jeff's supposed
to do all this?

Yes, according to
the voyager logs.

Got quite a future
ahead of him.

Yes, he's obviously
destined for great things.

But as civilian
Jeffrey Jones,
not as a voyager.

And in his own time,
not traveling through
the cosmos with an Omni.

I'm afraid Drake is right.

The boy must be
returned to 1982.

He must be allowed to grow up
and fulfill his own destiny.

Let's tell the boy
and get on to more
important matters.

No, I'll tell him.
And I'll take him back.

Very well.

The boy will be returned
to the room where Bogg
found him.

No!

Voyager Bogg,
I thought it was determined

that the boy
would be returned.

Yes, but not as an orphan.

I want to bring him back
to the time before
his parents died.

DRAKE: Your Honor,
this is absurd.

The boy must be returned
to the exact time and
place Bogg found him.

Look, Drake, you can take
your gripe out on me, but
don't ruin the kid's life.

Would it change history if
Jeff's parents were spared?

That is hardly the point.

Then what's the point?

No, history will not change

if the boy is returned
to his parents.

Then there's no reason
the court should
not show leniency.

DRAKE: You mean pity.

Look, as long as
history doesn't change...
The boy must be returned

to the time
after his parents' death!

You got to make
this exception.

Once an exception is made,
the code will be meaningless.

And what about
the voyager code?

This tribunal was called
to uphold the rules,
not violate them.

Drake, that's
just one more lie.

Voyager Drake
has managed to make
a career out of it.

I do hope defense
counsel understands

that she will be held
responsible for these
accusations.

I'll be proud to.

Hmm.

What has Machiavelli
got to do with all this?

Machiavelli's philosophy
was "the end justifies
the means."

These are not the writings
of Machiavelli.

Those were written
by his best disciple,
Voyager Drake.

That evidence
is inadmissible.

Sorry, Drake,
it's too late.

These pages are a record
of the prosecution's habit
of falsifying documents,

and tampering with the Omni
memory recorder in order to
convict innocent voyagers.

Bring the boy back.

Why, Drake?

Why? Because it
had to be done
for the cause.

The only cause
you ever served
was your own.

And why would you be
foolish enough to keep
this incriminating evidence?

One day those words will
vindicate me and all the
work that I've tried to do.

The future shall
judge me as a hero.

Until then,

you'll deal with the judgments
of this tribunal,

and they shall be harsh.

This court has
no hold on me.

Bailiff, stop that man.

Hey, wait a minute.
You're not going anywhere.

Stop him.

(PLUMMETING)

Bogg. The Omni.

Don't worry,
I got it.

Give it to me.

Not so fast, hotshot.

Hand me that Omni
immediately.

We've got to get
out of here.

Look, Drake, we're gonna
check things out before
we run scared.

(BEEPING)

Red light.

Where are we?

Mexico, 1836.

Bogg, look.

Señor Houston,
do you wish
a blindfold?

No.

If I'm gonna die,
I'll die looking at
the land I've fought for.

The territory
of Texas.

Bogg, that's Sam Houston.

In a minute he's gonna be
the late Sam Houston.

He's gotta live to see
Texas become independent
from Mexico.

Texas? Never heard of it.

Don't let them
hear you say that.

(GUNS FIRING)

BOGG: Those are Texans?

JEFFREY: Yeah.

They're not doing very well
at helping their pal.

He's gotta be rescued.

He's gonna be
the first president of
the New Republic of Texas.

Then we better get him
out of there so he doesn't
miss the party. Come on.

(GUNS FIRING)

I'll get Mr. Houston.
You stay here with him.

Bogg?

The code does mean something.
A voyager doesn't leave
a fallen comrade.

Bogg, no!

Texas forever!

(MAN YELLING)

Men, over here!

Someone help!
The boy is trapped!

JEFFREY: Bogg!

HOUSTON: Help!
Help the boy. Hurry!

JEFFREY: I'm okay,
get the dynamite.

Bogg, behind you.

(GRUNTING)

Boy, are you all right?

Yeah.

We'll keep those soldiers
busy till you two fellows
get out of here.

Thanks for all your help.

Any men willing to fight
for the Republic of Texas
are worth saving.

Good luck.

Bye.

Drake's gone.

Great, now we're
really stranded.

No Omni
and no Guidebook.

Yeah, but we've
got each other.

Then I guess we'll
get along just fine.

JEFFREY: Well, Bogg,
where do we start?

BOGG: The first thing
I wanna do is get
something to eat.

Not so fast, guys.

How'd you know
where to find us?

Woman's intuition,
and my voyager locator.

(DINGS)

Well, well,
the prodigal son
has returned.

Sir, I can explain...

No, there's no need.

It's this court that
owes you an apology.
Now, where's Drake?

He took the Omni
and disappeared.

Well, he must be brought
back to this tribunal.

He's somewhere
out there in time.

Huh?

He doesn't scan
on the locator.

Someone's bound to find him
wherever things are
getting messed up.

Well, maybe it will
be the two of you.

Us?
GARTH: Yes.

You mean Bogg and me?

You are voyagers,
aren't you?

We were waiting
for you to tell us
if we were or not.

Well, you are, both of you.

Congratulations.

But what about
all the great stuff
Jeffrey's supposed to do?

Drake was correct.

The boy has many
important things to do.

But what Drake didn't
tell the court was he
does them as a voyager.

You mean he was
supposed to be a
voyager all along?

(GARTH CHUCKLING)

You didn't fall
into Jeffrey's room
by accident.

Phineas Bogg, Jeffrey Jones,
get back into the field.

Yes, sir.

Here is your old Omni.

Yeah, we're
partners again!

Here's your new Guidebook...

JEFFREY: If you want to learn
more about Sam Houston

and the Texas fight
for independence,

take a voyage
down to your public library.

It's all in books!
