Original subtitles

Travelers, if you would find the way to Evoland,

and the doorway back to your own time,

Seek the house that lies below.

Mom, it is you. It's me, Scott.

I don't have any son.

Ah! Help! Get me out!

- Help me. - My hands...

Hey, my hands!

Get it off. Oh, God.

Hey!

Lost in the Devil's Triangle,

trapped in a dimension

with beings from the future and from other worlds,

a party of adventurers journey through zones of time.

back to their own time.

Varian, a man from the 23rd century,

possessing awesome powers.

From 1977,

Fred, a young doctor just out of medical school.

Scott Jordan,the 13-year-old son of a famous scientist.

Liana, daughter of an Atlantean father

and an extraterrestrial mother.

And Jonathan Willaway,

rebel scientist from the 1960s.

Together, they face the frightening unknown

on The Fantastic Journey.

Well, how long do you think it'll take Liana

- to catch up to us? - Several days, I think.

What'd she want to stay there for, anyway?

Well, you know, she wanted to stay in Coriel

and talk to Morgan and Halyana once again

about the new order of government there.

Yeah, she remembers Atlantium's change over.

Well, maybe we ought to not travel too fast.

Don't worry, if she can't find us, Sil-L will.

What is it, Fred?

I don't know, I thought I saw a horse and rider up there.

I don't see anything.

Well, that's a horse I'm hearing.

Travelers, if you would find the way to Evoland,

and the doorway back to your own time,

hear me and take heed.

Seek the house that lies below.

House? What house?

Follow the runner called Kedryn.

He will show you where.

What you need is hidden

in the Hall of Echoes there.

Hall of Echoes?

What is it that we need?

One ofthe 12 keys,

which is a stone

and the power of the stone is this.

Approaching,

see with other eyes.

In holding, alter shapes and size.

In giving, you receive the prize!

Hey, hey! Wait a minute!

Fred, on the western shore

the Arawak Indians told of messengers

who ride from zone to zone.

Guiding people like us to the east.

And they call them "the Riders."

You mean, he was for real?

And he can tell us how to get to Evoland?

Look!

Kedryn!

He doesn't hear us.

We can't let him get away. Let's go.

Catch up when you can.

Oh, man. The house below.

Just like that Rider said.

I wonder if the rest is true.

I wonder if there really is a secret stone.

Let's go back and get the others.

- Come on. - Yeah.

Kedryn, what is it?

Kedryn, what's the matter?

The strangers, they're coming here.

They know about the stone.

They want it.

Oh, that's impossible.

We've never been bothered before.

Krysta, the Riders know.

Sooner or later...

...we're gonna have to gie it up.

Welcome. Welcome. You're most welcome here.

This is my wife, Krysta.

Oh, and you're Kedryn?

Yes. How did you know?

- The Rider told us. - A Rider?

That's strange.

I thought we're the only ones in this land with horses.

Only people in this land.

But please, come in, refresh yourselves.

Thank you. We'd be delighted.

Uh, you'll love this.

It's not often eastbound travelers

happen upon our little house here in the woods.

We are grateful for the opportunity

to share our comforts.

This is delicious.

It's fruit nectar.

The tartness is remoed by a mysterious process

that's known only to Simkin.

My compliments, Simkin.

My family has long practiced

the art of preparing food and drink

to demanding tastes.

I'm pleased that you find it to yours.

Kedryn, why did you run from us before?

Run from you?

Did you say that I ran from you?

You didn't hear us yelling?

No.

No, I didn't.

I hope I didn't offend you.

The storms are coming.

Please, now, you all look tired.

Why don't you spend the night with us?

You should be warned, however,

the dark season is due any day now.

He's lying.

I 'd bet my life on it.

Mmm,They're both a little too innocent if you ask me,

and a little bit too eager to get us going.

Yeah, like all that talk about terrible storms.

Mmm.

I think you're both right.

I sensed something strange about them.

Something peculiar.

What do you mean?

I don't know, Scott.

Maybe when I know more about them. Maybe then.

That is extraordinary.

My husband was a teacher of history.

We have a passion for Earth antiques.

We were on a collecting mission

when our craft veered off-course

and we landed here.

And Simkin's miraculousd dinner.

You flatter me.

Oh, no, no, Simkin No, well-deserved praise.

I can't place this.

UHh, grouse.

The herbs confused you.

They come from our home planet.

Haven't you ever tried to get home?

We love it here.

I hope we never have to leave.

Our home planet was unbearably overcrowded.

You can't imagine how...

How wonderful it is to be alone

with all this space. No other people.

Kedryn, there's something think I should tell you.

We're not here by accident.

We were directed here by one of the Riders

who told us to look forsome kind of a stone

in the Hall of Echoes.

Kedryn, do you understand?

Uh, no. Uh...

I'm not familiar with any place

called the Hall of Echoes.

Or Riders.

And as far as stones...

The Rider did say that Kedryn would lead us to this house.

Well, I guess have done that.

But as far as the rest goes, don't understand.

I must admit,

it is not my idea of perfect weather

to go gadding about.

Yeah, for a minute there, I thought we were gonna lose the lights.

You don't have to worry about that.

Ah! When we decided to stay here,

we built the house with the elements in mind.

We designed it after traditional Earth structure.

It's a pleasing change

from the harsh cubes of our home planet.

As far as the poweris concerned,

it's impervious to weater.

Scotty? You feeling okay?

Yes.

That weird lightning had me going for a minute.

We rise early. If you'll excuse us?

Oh, uh, if you don"t mind, would like

to stay down here and browse around.

You have quite a remarkable collection of antiques.

Oh, not at all. Uh...

Please be comfortable. Sleep well.

Oh, uh, would suggest, for your own safety,

that you do leave tomorrow during suntime.

And just forget about chasing myths.

Goodnight to you all.

About time. to hit the hay, Scotty?

Please. Let's do that.

Goodnight.

Simkin. Excuse me.

Simkin?

I just want to ask you a question.

Simkin.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Another fellow just came in here.

I wanted to ask him about the French Gothic chest.

Oh, yes.

Yes.

Simkin...

He went into the kitchen.

Oh.

But I can answer any of the questions

you have about the furniture.

Oh! Well, thank you very much.

That really is a superb chest, but I can't place it.

I don't know whether it's late 16th

or early 17th century.

Varian, I think you better hear this.

Tell him, Scotty.

I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

While We're sitting at the dinner table,

I looked up at Kedryn and...

All right, what have we decided?

Are we going to leave in the morning?

Or are we going to stay?

Jonathan, please. Go ahead, Scott.

Well...

I look up at Kedryn and...

...all of a sudden,

I see the face of an old man.

It was like...

I don't know,

like I was seeing two separate images.

It was probably just the lightning

playing tricks on my eyes.

An old man?

Well, I ran into an old man in the hallway.

It was probably him.

You must've seen him through the window.

No. It was right there.

Right where Kedryn was sitting.

It was like he was two people at the same time.

Are my eyes playing tricks?

Approaching, see with other eyes.

A riddle.

Scott, have you seen anything else unusual,

any other double images?

No. I sure don't want to.

You know...

So far, that Rider's been right on.

Well, I get the feeling that Kedryn and Krysta

have been lying to us about eerything.

That's possible.

It's possible that they're lying.

It's also possible that they don't know

that there's a stone here.

Well, if it is here.

And if it will open the doorway

back to our own time,

I say we don't leave here without it.

You know, you really are dealing in an awful lot of "ifs."

You know, I would like to look around this place

if our hosts could be kept out of the way.

Well, Krysta talked about going riding in the morning.

Maybe I could go with them and keep them away,

out in the countryside.

Hey, dynamite, I'll go with Scott.

Good.

And then you and I will make a clean sweep of this place

and we can just see what we'll see.

They're suspicious.

They're wary in a strange place. Natural.

They suspect something, Kedryn, and you know it.

Yes.

Ah...

Master, in the hallway,

Willaway almost caught me.

I told you.

All right. I promise. First thing tomorrow,

I get rid of them, one way or the other.

What do you mean you can't leave?

Well, look at the man.

He came down very ill late last night.

He's running a fever.

Dizziness, nausea. Looks like food poisoning

or an allergic reaction of some kind.

I guess some ofthe herbs from your planet

just didn't agree with him.

That's too bad.

When will he be able to travel?

Maybe late today,

after he's worked this out of his system.

That's when the storms begin.

I think that we should stay until tomorrow.

Oh, you're such a good boy.

Your mother would be so proud of you.

Willaway, you aint Camille.

As long as we're gonna have to stay here,

would it be all right if I went riding with you, Kedryn?

I used to go with my dad all the time.

I'd like to go myself.

Of course, I...

I haven't done any for a while now.

What about your patient?

Well, I'm a healer, I could stay with him.

Fred's been tending him all night long. I...

I think he needs a break.

Oh, could we go with you? I'd really like that.

Get two more horses ready.

I'll get the brown gelding,

the buckskin mare.

There they go.

Now Simkin's going into the stables.

The house is empty.

Not a sign of servants anywhere.

- Okay. Let's move. - Ah.

Cover every room in the house.

- I'm gonna examine the grounds. - All right.

Make it as fast as you can.

Oh, sure. Fine with me.

Whoa, whoa. Whoa!

Kedryn.

I'm afraid. Please make them see they must leave.

If their friends discoer our secret...

You ride your horse up that way.

Don't look back.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Fred! Help!

Come on. Let's go. Come on.

Whoa!

Whoa! He won't stop!

I only wanted you to frighten them.

Whoa! Stop!

Ahhh!

Whoa! Come on.

Scott, don't stand up yet. You took a bad fall.

Ah!

Ah!

Now, what's all this about?

Hello!

Echoes.

- Watch your step. - Watch your step.

Listen.

Listen.

Come on, let's go.

Hello!

Now, if we're not moving,

that echo isn't ours.

And if it isn't ours, whose is it?

The stone.

You.

You underestimate the power of the stone.

I've never seen rocks that give off light like this.

Who's following who?

I thought you were out riding.

Yeah, we were. Until the horses stampeded.

Listen. let me lay something weird on you.

I think Kedryn made it happen.

What?

Well, I never believed in Merlin stories before,

but weird things keep happening

when that dude's around.

That's him.

That's the face I saw.

Who are you?

Lies in a spider's web, that's you.

The Rider's nothing more than a lure.

An illusion.

A trap.

Your pretty hosts, Krysta and Kedryn

are parasites.

Like the vampires. The legend.

- Vampires? - That's nonsense.

How do you think they stay so young and perfect?

Hmm?

They suck the vitality, the life force

out of gullible fools like you!

This zone stinks with evil.

Go, go, go. Get out of here. Leave by tonight.

Get out of here if you can.

Stay away from those two in the house.

If that's true,

why do Krysta and Kedryn also want us to leave?

And why do you stay around?

I stay because I'm too old.

But they are tricky, subtle liars

and they'll put you off your guard

and they'll suck you further into the Rider's story.

Hey!

Fred!

Fred!

Help me!

Help!

You all right?

Yes, why?

- Didn't you call me? - No, no, I didn't.

I'm sure that old man's gone by now.

Look, none ofthis is getting us any closer to the stone.

Yeah, and I wonder where Willaway is.

I left him in the house.

Well, I'll go look for him.

No, no. I'm not so sure I like the idea

of you going back to that house by yourself.

No telling where Kedryn and Krysta are by now.

Oh, I'll be all right.

Besides, Willaway's there.

I'll just go get him while you guys are

looking around in here.

l think it would be safer back there with Jonathan.

Ah! Don't let it happen!

Oh! Ohh!

This place has aged 50 years.

No. No!

No!

Willaway?

Willaway?

Are you in there, Willaway?

Willaway, are you in there?

Over there.

Oh, my God, he's inside that thing.

Here.

We've got to alter the molecular frequency quickly,

or he's gonna freeze to death.

Oh! Uh, oh.

I thought you guys would never find me.

Oh!

You know, I have had some chilly receptions in my time,

but nothing like that. Oh-ho!

Look what I found.

The stone.

Oh, Willaway, I never thought I'd say this,

- but you are beautiful. - I know.

This is the key.

And that doorway's out there, somewhere, waiting.

Hey, wait a minute, if youe been in here all along,

that means that Scott's alone in the house.

He is? We'd better get back there fast.

I mean, theres no telling what can happen to him.

Right on.

Yes! You have the stone,

but now hear me! Having it is not the end of it!

Scott!

Yeah, I'm here.

Hey, you found him.

That's not all.

Hail, the conquering hero.

You found the stone!

We thaw him out of deep freeze.

and he's the hero.

Hey, what happened to this place? This place was beautiful this morning.

Well, wait till you see the inside.

You're really have a surprise.

- Oh, man! - Oh, my...

Well, I...

Do you believe this place? Look at it.

No, I don't.

Scott, have you seen Krysta or Kedryn?

No. But you guys should see upstairs,

it's like a tomb.

No, let's just get out of this mausoleum.

Just a minute.

We've got the stone, but...

I don't know, I just...

I feel like we stole it.

Scott.

Come on now, Kedryn and Krysta

weren't extending any hospitalities to us

when they tried to wreck us on those horses, right?

Scott, according to the legend,

the stone belongs to the finder.

And besides,

I did not take it from the house.

I took it from the cave,

and the old man didn't say anything about taking it.

He just said that, uh, I underestimated it.

I certainly did.

Yeah, I guess so, but...

I just feel funny.

To tell you the truth, I don't understand any of this.

Yeah, this place is full of question marks.

And the one that bothers me the most

is that old man saying that having the stone

was not the end of it.

What is that all about?

We can all reflect on these things later,

in the comfort ofthe next zone,

thank you very much.

Fellas.

The knob's come off in my hand.

Hey!

Varian! Scott!

Look, guys, I don't like confined spaces, come on.

Varian!

Hey, Fred, joke's over, come on.

Help, get me out!

Get me out!

Fred!

I'm hurt!

Fred, I'm hurt.

I need help!

Did you hear that?

It sounded like Scotty.

- Hey. - Fred!

Man, what is going on around here?

Mom?

Mom, it is you! It's me, Scott.

Scott?

I don't remember any Scott.

What do you mean you don't remember?

But you've got to.

It's me, your son, Scott.

I don 't have any son.

I'm hurt bad.

Help!

Get me out!

Fred, it hurts. Help me.

Oh, it hurts. Oh! Get it off.

Help me. Please.

Help me.

- My hands.. - It hurts.

- Oh! - Hey.

Fred, it hurts. Help me. Oh, it hurts.

Get it off. Help me.

- Hey, hey. - Please.

Help me.

Get it off. Oh, God.

- Help me. Help me. - My hands!

Help me. Oh, it hurts.

Help.

Hey.

Help me!

Mom, please.

Please remember.

Get if off!

Hey!

Hey!

Somebody help me!

Fred!

Scott! Listen to me.

These are nothing but our own nightmares.

The stone is testing us!

These are illusions!

Don't feed them!

Think of each other!

Oh!

Think of each other, nothing more than that.

- Where is everybody? - Here.

Ah! Guess what happened? I...

I've been locked in some mad, shrinking closet.

That stone is still testing us.

Yeah, well, school is out.

I'm for getting out of here right now.

Oh!

It's the old man from the cave.

You're Kedryn and Krysta.

Our home planet was overcrowded.

It was a place where

youth was so prized, that

any sign of age...

...meant banishment.

On our last collection mission,

Kedryn saw gray

in his hair.

We did not wish to be apart...

...ever.

We broke the law.

We stole our ship

and fled with our servant.

We crashed here.

There was a traveler who was dying,

and we helped him

and he gave us the stone.

We discovered

it gave us a kind of

perpetual youth.

It's power was that of illusion.

A dream

became reality.

"Approaching...

"...see with other eyes."

"In holding, altershapes and size."

The riddle was right.

The traveler said that one day

we would have to lose the stone.

It's yours now.

Varian...

Look at me now.

Can I show this face

to my husband...

...day after day..

...and have him

still love me?

Is it the way that Kedryn looks

that makes you love him?

Is your love based on the illusion of youth?

A brilliant writer

once wrote...

"Grow old with me.

"The best is yet to be,"

No.

What we have now is...

...real.

You're leaving us much...

Much more than you're taking.

Do you remember the last part of the riddle?

It said,

"In giving, you receive the prize."

One thing I gotta say, Liana didn't really

miss anything here.

I wonderwhat her dream would have been?

Oh, about her mother's city, no doubt.

The city of crystal spires and gleaming glass.

Yeah, but what about Sil-L? Do cats dream?

Sure, they do.

Atlantian cats dream of electric mice.

Electric mice?
