[Man Narrating]
In the year 1987,
at theJohn F: Kennedy Space Center,

NASA launched the last
of America's deep space probes:

The payload, perched on the nose cone
of the massive rocket,

was a one-man exploration vessel,
Ranger 3:

Aboard this compact starship,
a lone astronaut,
Captain William "Buck'"Rogers,

was to experience cosmic forces
beyond all comprehension...

an awesome brush with death:

In the wink of an eye,
his life-support systems were frozen: : :

By temperatures beyond imagination:

Ranger 3 was blown out
of its planned trajectory: : :

Into an orbit a thousand times
more vast,

an orbit which was to return the ship
full-circle to its point of origin...
it's Mother Earth...

not in five months,
but in 500 years:

For 500 years, Buck Rogers
drifted through a world: : :

In which reality and fantasy
merged into a timeless dream:

[Man]
Far beyond the world I've known

Far beyond my time

What am I
Who am I

What will I be

Where am I going

And what will I see

Searching my mind
for some truths to reveal

What thoughts are fantasy
What memories real

Long before this life of mine

Long before this time

What was there
Who cared

To make it begin

Is it forever

Or will it all end

Searching my past
for the things that I've seen

Is it my life

Orjust something
I dreamed

Far beyond this world I've known

Far beyond my time

What kind of world

Am I going to find

Will it be real

Orjust all in my mind

What am I
Who am I

What will I be

Where am I going

And what will I see

[Man Over P: A:]
Alert:! Alert:! Incoming hostile ship:

Clear all launch channels for attack:

Wait!

There's something about the ship:
I've not seen anything like it:

Prepare to take it in tow:

[Man Over Radio]
Envelope alien ship in force field: : :

And prepare her
for boarding the Draconia:

[Man Over Radio]
Neurosystems transport:
[Woman] In transport:

Begin heart/lung procedure:

Dilute a minor pressor agent:
Transmitting:

Increase diogen and crystalline
in proportion:

Heart/lung response up
0:2 and increasing:

We're starting to receive
positive neurological signs:

He's alive:

[Bell Rings]
Enter:

And what of our intruder
is so important it could not wait, Kane?

The man lives:
I'm not sure why:

You're not sure why?
Is this a puzzle for me to decipher?

The puzzle is for me to decipher:

The ship is antiquated... unlike anything
I've seen in the star system,

or outside ofhistory books,
for that matter:
Kane, please:

He was frozen
by a combination of gasses...

oxygen, cryogen, ozone, methalon:

Almost a perfect balance:

Well, these are techniques
used throughout the galaxy
for terminal illness and disease:

Yes, today:

However, there is another matter...
the man's ship:

Kane, you have one more minute:

His instrumentation was stopped,

frozen solid in the year 1987:

- Are you telling me...
- That the man may be 500 years old:

You're serious:
Yes:

Frozen by elements
so instantaneous and perfect: : :

That he is fully preserved
and living:

Hmm:

What a fascinating thought:

Preserved young or preserved old?
Very young:

Any defects from the ordeal?

Fortunately for him,
we're quite advanced in cryogenics:

Hmm: Well, I've never met
a 500-year-old man:

Prepare him for an audience:

I'm afraid that he's liable
to be not too coherent:

I'll make allowances:

Where am I?
[Kane]
We ask the questions:

Who are you?

Captain Buck Rogers,
United States Air Force:

Who are you?
What did he say?

Something about a united states:

Captain, what is your destination?

[Groans]
What is it?

My head:

- Anybody got an aspirin?
- What does he mean?

Probably some kind
of anti-pain drug:

Give him something
for his discomfort:

[Grunts]

[Groans]

What is this place?

Where am I?

- Who are you?
- You are aboard the king's flagship Draconia,

under command
of the Royal Princess Ardala:

Oh:

- Who?
- Where are you from?

Now wait, wait, wait:
Slow down:

What was that about a ship?

One of the king's star fortresses
on its way to Earth on a peace mission:

On its way to Earth?

You mean you guys
aren't: : : From...

You mean, we're not...

we're not on Earth?

I'm definitely gonna need
that aspirin:

- Give it to him:
- Wait a second:

- [Sighs]
- Captain:

Hmm?

Bear in mind
that you're a captive: : :

Of a dynasty that has conquered
three-fourths of the universe:

You will answer carefully
if you value your life:

[Sighs]

Are you a real-life princess?
[Laughing]

I think we've given our captain
a little too much medication:

No, no, I feel great:

The United States of America...
it was an empire: : :

On the planet Earth
some centuries ago:

Those royal tutors
gave you your money's worth:
You're from Earth, Kane:

You should know better than l:

The United States had perished
almost, oh, 500 years ago:

That would account for his spacecraft,
his clothes, the instruments:

I have a better explanation:
I think he's a very clever plant: : :

From the Federal Directorate
of Earth:

A plant?
Yes:

A spy placed in our path
by their military:

They wouldn't dare:
We come as a royal envoy
from my father's kingdom:

I am fully aware
of your father's stated purpose...

to guarantee trade between
Earth and the Draconian dynasty:

What possible reason could they have
for placing a spy on board?

To search our ship:

To see if we're armed:
I see:

We couldn't allow that, could we?
No:

Then I am to assume that
I may dispose of Captain Rogers
as I see fit?

How you handle security
is your prerogative:

Come along, Tigerman:

What a layout: Wow!

- And how are we this morning?
- Terrific:

- Say, this is a coincidence:
I got a ship just like this:
- Disconnect the medication:

Oh, don't do that:
I really love that: But...

- You'll be on your way very shortly:
- Great: Where we going?

- You're going home:
- Great: Where's that?

- On Earth:
- Oh, right:

Your ship has been serviced
and reprogrammed to take you home:

I'm sure you must be anxious:
Oh, yeah:

Seems like I haven't
been there in weeks:

Whoa: Whoa:
[Chuckles]

[Sighs]
I must've had
a great time with you, guys:

You know, I'm gonna miss you:
I got a great idea:

- Why don't we all go down there together?
- You go on ahead:
We'll be along in a few days:

Not if I wake up:
[Chuckles]

Bye-bye:
Boy, what a dream this is:

Boy, are they gonna be surprised
back in Houston when I come back
with this story:

Battery:

[Man Over P: A:]
Prepare to launch alien vessel:

Five seconds to launch: Four,

three, two,

one:
[Thrusters Firing]

Whoo-ee!

[Kane]
He's given us the perfect opportunity
to test the Earth's defense shield:

What do you mean, test it?

We know that anyone entering
the Earth's surface without a clearance
is immediately incinerated:

But if our captain's a spy,
as I believe,

they will escort him
through the shield: : :

Along the narrow channel
only known to their military:

- Well, how can this help us?
- I've hidden a microtransmitter
aboard Captain Rogers's ship: : :

Which will send back the equivalent
of a guide map:

When we give the signal,

that guide map will be used
by your father's attack forces: : :

To pour through
their defense shield:

And what if our Captain Rogers
is not a spy?

Then he will burn:

I see:

[Kane]
You don't look very pleased:

Of course I'm pleased!

It's just that I have the strangest feeling
I'm going to see Captain Rogers again:

Chicago, Chicago
You're my kind of town

Chicago, Chicago
I'm goin'...

[Man Over Radio]
Air Control 1 to vessel Able, Baker 4:

[Woman] This is Tracking Control Long:
What is your current position and fuel supply?
Approaching Inner City on Corridor 3-4 Dover:

Confirm:
[Man #2]
This is Tartalia to Air Control Long:

[Buck]
They do things they don't do
on old Broadway

Houston Control,
this is Flight 711:
Come in, Houston Control:

Put down your cards
and your backgammon boards:
Lucky Buck is back:

Uh, sir: Super?

Super on:
What station is this?

Delta Sector, sir:
You don't hear from me very often:

Yes: Yes, Delta Sector?

My scanners monitor
the low frequency
direct communication band:

I'm picking up some voices
or something:

I'm sure you're picking up
pirate or marauder chatter:
Nothing to be alarmed about:

Probably echoes from
last night's attack on our freighters:

Those signals will be
bouncing around all week:
Uh, yes, sir:

I mean, no, sir:
This isn't an echo, sir:

It's a voice: A strong voice:
It's singing:

- Singing?
- Yes:

- Delta Sector, did you say singing?
- Yes:

Operational Control,
this is Supervisor 14 on the floor:
Feed me the Delta Sector:

[Buck]
Won't you come home, Bill Bailey
Won't you come home

You've been gone the whole night long

Remember that rainy evening

I threw you out

[Whistling]

Come in, Houston Control:
Come in:

Houston Control, this is Flight 711:

Come on, you guys: You read me?
Give me some instructions:
I'm on final reentry:

Come in, Houston Control:
Houston Control, do you read me?

Hey, come on, you turkeys:
Get off your duffs and give me some info:

Practically a foreign language:

Can it be some kind of joke?

[Alarm Blaring]

It's heading directly
for the defense shield:
Get me Intercept:

[Man Over Radio]
Intercept Squadron on the line,
please:

Colonel Deering:
What are the coordinates?

[Beeping]

[Alarm Continues Blaring]

Right: Retard the shield 100 miles
until we verify the craft:

Alert intercept airborne:
Position of alien craft:

[Alarm Continues Blaring]

Very odd:
What's odd?

Target seems to be moving
unusually slow and erratic
for any conventional spacecraft:

I have target in visual sight:

What is it?

Hey, all right:
Nice seeing you,

guys:

Who are ya?

What are ya?

Attention, alien spacecraft:
Do you read?

Watch who you're calling "alien:"
You don't look so familiar yourself:

Who are you?
Please restrict your answers to yes and no:
You are in grave danger:

From who, you?
You are traversing a narrow corridor
into our Inner Cities:

Inner what?
Look, lady...

Colonel Deering:
Now, please be quiet:
If you deviate from my orders: : :

By so much as a thousand yards,
you will be burned into vapors...
do you understand?

Vapors? Yeah, yeah, I understand:
What do I do?

Do you have manual
override capabilities?
Sure:

Then follow me very closely:

Be right on your tail:

Well, we really blew it this time:
Gotta be the Russians:

- You're doing just fine:
- Dosvedanya:

- I beg your pardon?
- I'm just trying to be friendly:

Violating our airspace
is an act of war, not friendship:

[Sighs]
Wait till the guys
at the Cape hear this:

Buck Rogers sets down
in the middle of Red Square:

[Man Over Radio]
Air Control 1 to Access:

Clear on Corridor 1-0 Able
for incoming vessel:

[Woman]
Confirmed: Outer barriers
all clear for approach: : :

On Corridor 1-0 Able
for incoming vessel:

Hey, babe, this is quite a setup:

It's Colonel Deering:
Commander of Earth's defenses:

- You mean you're in charge of all this?
- That's right:

Now, if there are no more questions...
Hey, Colonel, take it easy:

I'd fly with you anytime:

- Take this barbarian in for interrogation:
- What?

Hey: Hey, wait a minute!

Wait!

What are you... What are you doing?
Hey, wait a minute!

How do you do, Captain Rogers?

My name's Dr: Huer:
I'm very pleased to meet you:

Just what's going on?
Where am I and what are you doing to me?

Well, we're studying you:
It's all electronic and painless:

But so far we're as boggled
as you are by what's happened:

But your testing is producing
the most phenomenal data:

Terrific: Well, what is happening?

If I'm dead, I obviously
didn't make it to heaven:
So, just what planet is this?

What planet?
Oh, it's Earth, of course:

You returned as your mission required: : :

To almost the precise landing area
originally programmed into your ship:

Uh-huh:

Uh, look, Doc:

Now, I've been through a lot:

But there is no way
you can tell me: : :

That that city out there
is anything like Chicago:

No, it isn't: There's nothing
like Chicago left on Earth:

Allow me to bring in my administrator,
Dr: Theopolis:

Now, look, Doc...

Twiki, would you bring in
Dr: Theopolis, please?

- [Chirping]
- What is that?

This is Twiki:
He's your drone:

- My what?
- Well, for the duration of your debriefing
and determination,

Twiki here will act as your aide:

And this...
this is Dr: Theopolis:

Good morning, Dr: Theopolis:
It's a lovely day:

Thank you: I did my best:

Dr: Theopolis here is a member
of our Computer Council:

And in addition to other things,
he's personally responsible: : :

For all our environmental controls
here within the Inner City:

I'm introducing a pale hint of mauve
into the sunset this evening:

Not so deep as an amethyst,
but the more subtle burned texture: : :

Of cinnamon:
Well, how nice:

I do hope our captain can watch it
with us: It's truly going to be lovely:

If I were you, I'd check into
who's ever programming that thing:

Captain Rogers, it is we on the Council
who do the programming
for the entire city:

And kindly reserve your opinion:
Shall we get down to cases?

Captain Rogers, I'll...
I'll leave you with a word
of advice:

These Quads are not programmed
by man: They've been programmed
by one another over the generations:

You see, the mistakes
that we have made: : :

In areas, well, like our environment,

have been entirely
turned over to them:

And they've saved the Earth
from certain doom:

Little by little, bringing us back
so that we will not
have to depend entirely: : :

On other planets
for our food and water:

The Quads are not human, but: : :

You can hurt their feelings:

It's this sensitivity that separates
them from mere machines:

So, I'll see you again
in, oh, approximately 16 hours:

Sixteen hours?
Well, wait a minute!

You think I'm gonna sit here
and talk to a box for 16 hours?

Sit down, Captain:
Let's both try to be
as pleasant as possible:

That's a good fellow:
Be a good drone, Twiki,
and place me on the table: : :

Where I can get a good look
at the captain while you get him
some liquid refreshment:

[Twiki Chirping]
That's all right:
I don't need any liquid refreshment:

Of course you do:
You're extremely dehydrated
from your ordeal, Buck:

If I may call you Buck:

Now run along, Twiki,
and get Captain Rogers his drink:

Well, now, what an attractive man
you are, Captain Buck Rogers:

Now, look:
I've been waiting 24 hours: : :

To find out where I am,
who I am, who you are:

Could I have some answers?

Certainly, Buck:
That's why I'm here...
to answer your questions:

Great: Let's have it:

Well, you're Captain Buck Rogers,
and according to your ship's log,

you left Earth in 1987:

That much I know:
Tell me what I don't know:

Well, if preliminary data holds up,
it appears you have returned: : :

To Earth 504 years later:

You are now in the 25th century:

Buck? Are you all right, Buck?

Did you hear me?

Buck?

I think I will have that drink now:

[Twiki Chirping]
L 'chaim:

[Theo]
You can take my word:
He's a wonderful man: Believe me:

I do believe that you believe
that he's a wonderful man,

but you're not being asked to risk
the lives of our few surviving warriors
on his subterfuge:

He is only one man:
What can he possibly do
to endanger our people?

He could attempt to discredit
the treaty with Draconia:

But he has made no such attempt:
He comes to us a bewildered man:

I would like the opportunity
to spend some time with our captain:

If you're hoping to find fault
with his testimony,
you'll waste your time:

Saving Earth cannot be
a waste of time, despite having
to endure the captain's company:

Well, if Dr: Theopolis has no objections,

I have none:

I have no objections:

Then the captain belongs to me
until I expose him:

[Twiki Chirping]

I have not seen Colonel Deering
so uncharacteristically emotional
about anything before:

Nor anyone:

This part seems more
of a dream than a nightmare:

Look, uh, I was a little
out of it yesterday:
I'd like to apologize:

I accept your apology,
Captain:

Tell me about the holocaust:

I can't:

Well, until I hear it
and feel it, it isn't real:

Look, I lost everything
that was important to me...

a mother, father, brothers, sisters,
a woman I cared for:

And until I hear something
to convince me different,

they're waiting for me right now
somewhere else in time and space:

[Buck] What's it like on the outside?
Outside the city?
You wouldn't like it:

Radiation?
In some places:

Ruins and scorched earth everywhere else:
That's why we're so dependent
on trade with other planets:

This trade agreement with the Draconians
and the princess, what's that all about?

We're being starved out
by pirates who choke off
our shipping lines:

The Draconians have promised
to keep our supply lines open: : :

In return for landing privileges
here on Earth:

I'd like to see my ship:
Is that possible?

Anything is possible, Captain:

Those guards thought we were crazy
coming out here at this hour
of the night:

I've had enough sleep
to last me a lifetime:

You recognize these markings?

Fairly common for an aircraft
that had been in combat:

Well, I wasn't in combat:
Did your ships fire on me?

Certainly not:
Then whose did?

Possibly pirates who've been
attacking our shipping:

Then why am I still here?
Why didn't they finish me off?

Why didn't they strip the ship
or at least open it?

You think pirates would be thorough
enough to check out an unarmed ship,

particularly one
they bothered to fire on:

You've been in flight a long time:
Anything could have happened:

Well, those burns are fresh:
The cordite is still unoxidized:

I think Princess Ardala's attack fighters
fired on me before they towed me
aboard her ship:

Her ship is unarmed:
That is the law:
Well, she seems to bending it:

- What would you suggest, Captain?
- I would suggest thoroughly
searching her ship: : :

Before you allow it inside
your defense shield:

Rather an insulting way
to begin an alliance
based on good faith:

Good faith is for bureaucrats
and what gets you a city
with a lid on it:

I'd go up there armed
to the teeth, full squadrons:
Otherwise, you'll be sitting ducks:

For a man whose expertise
is allegedly five centuries old,

you seem quite opinionated:

You're right:

It's none of my business
how you blow up your world:

My generation didn't know
what they were doing either:

Good night, Colonel:
Where are you going,
Captain?

I'm gonna look around the city:
You're under suspicion:
You can't:

I'd like to find out
what's changed in 500 years:

That's forbidden:
Free country...
at least it was:

Technically, you're still under arrest
and my prisoner: I can't let you go:

- You'll have to shoot me
to stop me, Colonel:
- You leave me little choice:

You didn't have to
come with me, Theo:

I wanted to be with you, Buck:
I wish you'd listen to reason:

This is nothing
compared to what lies ahead:

Why don't we stay here
for the night?

Oh, I'm afraid
we'd freeze to death:

What little warmth you feel
is emanated from the Inner City:

In a few hours, they cut
power by two-thirds,

and it will drop
well below zero out here:

Well, it's straight ahead, then,
I guess:

I'm just sorry I brought
you guys into all this:

I was assigned
to be with you:

No one forced me into your camp:
I believed in you and I still do:

[Chirping]
What'd he say?

[Theo]
You don't want to know:
Oh:

[Chirping]
What's he saying now?

[Theo] You don't want to know:
You guys go back:
I can put up with whatever's out there: : :

If it helps me to find
what happened to my people:

I'm with you, Buck:

[Clanging]

[Chirping]

What'd he say?
You don't want to know:

Stop saying I don't wanna know!
I wanna know!
He thinks we're being watched:

[Buck]
It's just his imagination:
Come on:

It's hopeless:
Absolutely hopeless:
We'll be all right:

It isn't you they're after:
What?

No offense, but it's us:
My gold circuits and parts
bring a lot of money on the black market:

As for Twiki, well,
I'd hate to tell you the use
they'll put him to:

Buck, where are you going?

My God,
this is it:
[Clanging Continues]

I don't mean to impugn
your strategy, Buck,

but standing in the middle
of the street is stupid: : :

Under the circumstances:

Come on!
[Chirping]

I don't know where he's going:
Just follow him:

[Screeching]

[Chirping]
I don't know what he's doing:
Just follow him, Twiki:

[All Grunting]

[Chirping]
Holy...

[Theo]
I know, Twiki: I see them:
Just keep going:

[Chirping]
Don't think thoughts like that:

You'll run down your batteries:

[Buck]
This is where my parents are buried:

Well, at least I know part of it:

We can't stay long, Buck:
We're being followed:

[All Grunting]

What happened?
There's only one stone, no date:

Only a few fortunate ones
were buried at all:

It happened so fast,
families were buried together:

Dates became unimportant
as all systems broke down:

Finally, there were no more armies
or fighting:

Only starvation, contamination
and lingering death:

- I wish I'd been with 'em:
- You can't go back, Buck:

The past is gone:
But you can still help us
with our future:

- [Chirping]
- [Theo] If there is a future:

- I'm afraid it's too late:
- Take off, Twiki:

[Shouting]

- [Chirping]
- [Screeching]

[Chirping]
Look out!

[Chirping]
You dirty...

[Shouting]

[Theo]
There's just too many of them, Buck:
It's hopeless:

[Theo]
If anyone has any last words,
I think now would be the time for them:

[Chirping]
Let's get out of here:

[Chirping]
[Lasers Firing]

Well, well, Colonel:
What brings you out on a night like this?

Captain, I came to find you
at some personal risk:

- Very ballsy:
- Very what?

Forget it:
Well, don't expect any fanfare:

We were doing just fine
until you came along:
Right, Theo?

Well...
Forget it, Theo:

[Chirping]
Well, at least Twiki's
on my side:

As a matter of fact, I kind of like it
out here: It's a bit primitive,
but then it is the south side of Chicago:

Captain, we're wasting time:
Let's go:

I'm not through looking yet:
So unless you're prepared to shoot me...

Captain, you got away once,
but not this time: Lieutenant:

What's wrong?

Then it's true:
He is working for the pirates:

- I still don't believe it:
- Well, you stand alone, Theo:

The microtransmitter was attached
to his navigational equipment: : :

Revealing our secret access corridors
to our enemies:

That's not the behavior
of an innocent man:

At first, I thought he was guilty:
And then...

You're being subjective
in your evaluation of Buck Rogers:

I, on the other hand, support him
for very practical reasons:

- And what are they?
- I'm convinced of one thing...

our friend, Captain Rogers,
has indeed met the Princess Ardala: : :

And has been aboard
the Draconian flagship:

His descriptions are too precise: : :

To be the guesswork of a pirate:

Perhaps the pirates have been
aboard her ship and provided him
with the information:

My dear, they are
the deadliest of enemies:

It is unlikely that any pirate
could survive such a visit: : :

To tell about it:

Word from Earth
on Captain Rogers's fate:

His ship was intercepted
and led down,

as I expected:

Did the transmitter we secreted
aboard his ship: : :

Provide the necessary information
to bring my father's forces
through their defense shield?

Yes: However, the transmitter
has been discovered:

It's too bad:
It makes no difference:

Once we're welcomed inside,
we will destroy the shield from within:

Won't the Earthlings be suspicious
when Captain Rogers tells them
he was aboard our ship?

They won't believe him:
Captain Rogers is as good as dead:

Now stop worrying
about the trial:

I'm a member of the Council,
and I'm going to defend you personally:

Thanks, Theo:
It's nice to have at least one friend:

[Chirping]

I'm sorry, Twiki:
Two friends:

[Male Voice]
The Computer Council
is ready to hear final arguments: : :

In the case of the Directorate
versus Captain Buck Rogers: : :

On charges of espionage and treason:

- Counselor Apol:
- The State's case is elemental:

Captain Rogers piloted a foreign aircraft
through our defense network: : :

With a microtransmitter
revealing our secret shield borders
to our enemies:

What price you may ask?
What bounty would Captain Rogers: : :

Considerjust
in selling out the human race?

Only his pirate friends can answer:

But I submit that in my opinion: : :

It is the destruction of the treaty
with Draconia that they seek at all costs:

For its enactment
spells their doom:

The State rests its case:

We will now hear from the defense,
Dr: Theopolis:

Distinguished colleagues,
you have heard the evidence,

and I challenge you
to find this man guilty:

No evidence has been found
to suggest his claim
to a birthright on this planet: : :

Because we all know full well: : :

No records exist
prior to the great holocaust:

He has no explanation as how
a transmitter got aboard his ship: : :

Because it was not his doing:

He is an innocent pawn
in a great war:

I say to you, my colleagues,
that if you find this man guilty,

you must find me guilty:

My sensors tell me
that this man is good:

The defense rests: Thank you:

Captain Rogers, have you any last words
before we pass judgment?

Just that I'm an innocent pawn,
puppet, call it what you will:

Somebody else pulled the strings:

You'd be better advised to worry
less about me and more about them:

Because I can do you no more harm,
no matter what the outcome today:

But he or she: : :

Could destroy you:

Very nice, Buck:
We don't have a thing
to worry about:

By unanimous vote,
the Council finds for the State:

Captain Rogers,
the Council finds you guilty:

Your life is to be terminated:

Said termination to be
carried out immediately:

This Council is adjourned:

I don't believe it:

Aren't you gonna say anything?

No:
That's ridiculous:

You have been sentenced
for termination:

At the very least,
I would think a man of your sorts
would fly into a rage,

lash out at me,
say something:

- Good-bye?
- Buck, stop it: You're being unreasonable:

I'm being unreasonable? Hmm:

It's almost as if you don't think
the sentence will be carried out:

Well, as a matter of fact,
I don't think there's gonna be
anyone around to carry the sentence out:

At least I know you people
won't be in charge:

You're still clinging to your story
about the Draconia bearing arms:

I can prove it:

What would you say
if I told you: : :

That I came here
to give you that chance?

How?

By flying out to meet
the Draconia flagship
to verify your story: : :

About them finding you:

And, uh, do a little looking around
while you're there?

Exactly:

No, no: L... I don't like that plan:

It worries me:
Why?

Well, you see,
I'm scheduled for termination:

If I miss it,
I might get in a lot of trouble:

Buck, you are impossible:
I'm offering you your life, and
you're giving me practical jokes?

Well, see, that's the point:

Are you offering me
termination of my termination,
or are you just postponing it?

If you can prove
that your story is true...

Let's go:

Stay close to my wing, Captain:
We'll keep maneuvers nice and simple:

Stay on autoflight:
You won't be expected
to run anything but the throttle:

Thanks, Colonel:

Is it all right if I occasionally
look out the window, hmm?

This is no time for levity, Captain:
We've lost nearly a third of our ships
in this vector to pirates:

When they hit, they hit fast:

You can't outfly the computer:
It'll take any necessary evasive action
to avoid their missiles:

If you try to fly that thing,
you'll only cost us a ship:

I appreciate your concern:

Just wish I'd brought along
something to read:

- I make a target vector 401:
- [Beeping]

[Man]
Roger, Colonel: I have a visual
on target just to port:

If you have visual at this distance,

it must be gigantic:

Permission to come aboard: Why?

A special envoy:

That's all I know:

It isn't according to protocol:

- What do you think they have in mind?
- I don't know:

But they have given us
plenty of warning:

And there will be nothing
in evidence to betray us:

I'd be curious to know
what they have in mind:

Let's prepare a very special
welcome for them:

Send out our pirate ships,

and arrange a little surprise for them:

[Kane]
Welcome aboard
the flagship Draconia:

Envoy of Draco,
conqueror of space,

warlord of Astrium,
ruler of the Draconian realm,

I give you his daughter,
Princess Ardala:

Delighted:
This is an unexpected pleasure:

We are hardly prepared
to greet you properly:

Consider your time
adequate greeting:

I'm Colonel Deering,
Commander of the Third Force
of the Earth Directorate:

And I believe you already know
Captain Rogers:

But, no: If I'd met
so dashing a young captain,

I'm sure I would have
remembered vividly:

I don't believe we've had the pleasure:

I think you're mistaken, Princess:

I never forget a knuckle:

Captain:
Listen, we're here to get
to the bottom of things:

Would you like me to describe
some of your inner chambers?

Of what inner chambers
does he refer?

Well, the princess may not
find me memorable,
but I'll never forget her:

I especially like the dress
with the high-neck collar and...

Colonel Deering, what is this
all about? Why are you here?

The pirate forces are
at their worst in this sector:

We brought our ships
to assure your safe arrival:

[Man Over P: A:]
Alert:! Alert:! Alert:!

Draconia under attack
by hostile ships:

And Captain Rogers...
[Alarm Blaring]

All personnel to their defense posts:

Men, to your ships:
Alert all stations!
Secure the ship!

So this is how
you bid us safe conduct:

A fine escort:
At least we will all perish together:

[Alarm Continues Blaring]

[Man Over P: A:]
Clear all launch channels for attack:

Alert:! Alert:!

[Alarm Continues Blaring]

Look out, Major:
He's on your tail:

Pull up: I'll cut him off:

No, not that way:
You're diving right into his power:

Captain Rogers, I ordered you
to stay out of this:

- Colonel, you need
all the help you can get:
- [Lasers Firing]

- [Buck] Wingman, bandit, 12:00 high:
- 12:00 what?

Lieutenant Wrather, disregard:
Captain Rogers, get off the air:

Our combat computers
are way ahead of you:

Well, yeah, Colonel:
But if your computers don't do
something pretty fast,

your Lieutenant Wrather
will be finished:

Watch out, Thornberry!

[Buck]
Colonel, you've got to go
to manual flight:

Buck Rogers, if you don't stop
distracting our pilots...

You just ask the lieutenant:
There's a couple of pirates on your tail:

Colonel, I'm switching to manual:
See if I can start dishing out a little
of what we've been taking:

Buck Rogers, I'm ordering you
back to the base:

Now then, let's see how you like
a little old-fashioned red dogging:

[Beeping]

One sacked: Six to go:

Gotcha!

- Colonel, take it straight down,
then hit your retros:
- I can't!

It's against all principles
of modern aerial combat:

[Chuckles]

That's called blitzing your linebackers:

Look, I don't know what went wrong
with our combat computers,

but: : : Thank you:

Now, Captain, let's go home:

My place or yours?
What?

What did you say?
Justjoking:

[Man]
Air Control 1 to Access:

Clear on Corridor 1-0 Able
for incoming vessel:

[Woman]
Confirmed: Outer barriers
all clear for approach: : :

On Corridor 1-0 Able
for incoming vessel:

Colonel Deering,
have you seen Captain Rogers?
Yes: Why?

Our Council has had a formal request
from Her Majesty, Princess Ardala:

What has that got to do
with the captain?

Well, the princess feels
he single-handedly saved their
unarmed vessel from the renegade pirates: : :

And wants to thank him personally:

Single-handedly?
Apparently, even your ship
was nearly destroyed:

Were it not for Captain Rogers's
inordinate skills and quick thinking,
the princess feels...

I don't care what the princess feels:
I know what happened: I was there:

Tomorrow I conquer Earth:

Tomorrow we conquer Earth,
Your Highness:

You look magnificent, Buck:

[Chirping]
Is something troubling you?

Why am I invited to this thing?
Nobody believes me:

Princess Ardala wants to thank you
personally for fighting the pirates
off her ship:

I'd like to have a word or two
with her myself: : : Alone:

Oh, I'm sure that won't
be permitted:

After all, you are only a captain:

And not even commissioned
at that:

- What do you got for a headache?
- A headache: Are you ill, Buck?

I guess I'm just not fully recovered
from that long trip yet:

Well, why didn't you say something?
Twiki will get you a relaxant:

Well, it's time to go in now:

We don't want to keep
the trade delegation waiting:

[Fanfare]

[Continues]

[Dr: Huer] Welcome:
The Draconian Trade Delegation,

under the leadership
of Her Royal Highness,

Crown Princess
of the Realm, Ardala:

[Beeps]

I bring you greetings
on this historic occasion:

My father, King Draco,

would like to present to you
his own flagship Draconia,

filled with all the latest technology
as a gift to symbolize a glorious new era: : :

Of commerce and peace:

Let the celebration begin:

[Synthesizer]

We brought you some pills, Buck:
Hmm?

For your headache:
It's a very strong relaxant:

You mustn't take more
than one at a time:

Thanks, guys:

Well, I see dancing
has come a long way in 500 years:

Listen, I'm gonna need
something else... a rose:

Did you say a rose?
Yeah, a red one:

What do you need a rose for, Buck?
Twiki, would you go
get me one, quickly?

[Chirping]

How do you like our presentation,
Captain Rogers?
Most impressive:

Did this folk dance come all the way
from her daddy's world?

I'm sorry: I don't seem
to understand your terms:

And I would suggest a more
respectful reference than "daddy:"

He's perhaps the greatest leader
the world has ever known:

Hmm: Well, a word
of caution, Colonel:
Mm-hmm:

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts:

Greeks?

Maybe that was a little
before your time:
Quite a while back:

Um, tell me: Do you know
the story of the Trojan horse?

Mmm, no:

No, huh? Well, forget it:

I guess I came from a time
that was hopelessly paranoid:

See you around:

[Chirping]
Your rose, Buck:

That's a nice one:
Thank you, Twiki:

[Theo]
Buck, no one else is giving
the princess flowers:

You're going to make them all
look ridiculous:

Stick close, fellas:
We're next:

Well, Captain Rogers:
Congratulations, and thank you:

We're very grateful to you
for saving us from those
horrible privateers:

Not too loudly, Princess:
Around here they think
I am a privateer, thanks to you:

Me? Well, I hope I haven't caused you
too much embarrassment:

- Are you angry?
- On behalf of the...

- Theo!
- [Chirping] What a body!

From me to you:
Who's your charming little friend?

His name is Twiki:

Yes, and that thing hanging
around his neck is Theo,

ex officio member
of the Computer Council:
Your Majesty:

- Would you care to join me
in the next dance?
- The princess does not...

Does not mind if she does:

I don't think I'm too up
on these latest dance steps:

Well, if you have a preference,
it is my party:

Terrific: How about something
old-fashioned, huh?

Sir, excuse me:
Are you familiar with, uh, rock?
You know, uh...

Try it, try it: Come on:

[Classical]
No, no, that's not it:

Just let yourself go:
Let it go: Go with the music:
[Rock]

That's it: Right: Yeah:
That's it: Yeah:

What are you doing?

It's called getting down:
It's a little before your time:
If it frightens ya...

Nothing frightens me:

All right, fine:
Get down and boogie:

[Chirping]

[Theo]
It's expressive:
It's disgusting!

What happens if we bump together?
We automatically become
man and wife:

[Chirping]
Groovy: Get down:

You're quite a man,
Captain Rogers:

I have the feeling the Earth people
believed your incredible story: : :

About being frozen
for 500 years:

Not on your life:
They think I'm a spy:
One of mine?

They're not sure:
Wanna join up?

Who do I have to see
to make my move?
Me:

Tell me, that building,
is it still the communications
center?

Ah: That would be
secret information:

- Of course:
- [Laughs]

I will always be one of you,
Dr: Huer:

Perhaps I will remain here
permanently:

We hope so:

Your Highness, some of the ministers
would like a few minutes:
Later, Kane:

Business of the realm comes first!

Your father expects you
to serve the best interests of the realm:

If you don't,

he has 29 other daughters that will!

It's been a pleasure, Captain Rogers,
but I'm afraid our duties
are cut out for us:

Later, perhaps?

I depart aboard my private launch
at midnight:

I'll be there:

Captain Rogers:

I wonder if this wouldn't be
a good time to talk with you:

Um...
Princess Ardala left
so abruptly,

and the party seems
to be over:

You don't have
any plans, do you?

Well...
Good:

I have something
I would like to say:
Well, l...

I thought you were a spy,
Captain Rogers:

I was wrong:

Would you like to go someplace?

Um, I, uh...
I'm not up to that yet:

I've been out of it
for quite a while... 500 years:

I've got to go easy
on reentry:

Chicago, Chicago
You're my kind of

- [Growling]
- It's all right:

Better listen to her, fella:
She's making sense:

I've asked Captain Rogers
to join us:

[Buck]
It's lucky for you
she called me off:

[Door Slides Open]

[Door Closes]

[Beeping]

We're almost there:

Where are you going?
[Chirping]

I know it's chilly,
but we've got no choice:

Our orders are
to stick close to Buck:

And he may need us:
So back in the cooler:

[Chirping]

Twiki, I'm speaking to you:

[Chirping]
I'm freezing my ball bearings off:

Our Captain Rogers
is just not to be found:

What do you expect
from a primitive?

We'll let you know
if we hear anything:

You are a spy, Buck Rogers,

and I know exactly
where you are:

Out:

They make better pets
if you have 'em fixed:

Let's make ourselves comfortable:
Pour us a drink:

At last we're alone:

Have you nothing to say?

Up until this moment,
I didn't know what it was
I'd been missing:

Well, I have a confession as well:

There's somebody else back home:

I didn't realize what I was missing:

You're different: You're arrogant:

You flagrantly disregard orders:

And you're the kind of man
who could unseat my father:

Your father's seat is
the furthest thing from my mind:

I brought you here for a reason:
I was counting on that:

I want you by my side:

That wasn't exactly
what I had in mind:

Consider it:

You have no idea what it's like
being the daughter
of Draco the Conqueror:

Twenty-nine sisters
nipping at your heels:

Weaselly little courtiers
like Kane vying for power:

But with a man...
a real man like yourself,

I could defy my father:
I could live my own life:

- Oh?
- A magnificent new dynasty:

- Aren't we getting
a little ahead of ourselves?
- I'll take that drink now:

- We have to be very careful:
- Do we?

Mm-hmm:

The timing is not good:

Things never change:
That's the way it's always been:

Why couldn't I have met you
sooner, Buck Rogers?

Well, we got plenty of time,
don't we?

[Man Over P: A:]
All Armament personnel report
to flight bay to begin loading weaponry:

[Kane]
Look at them: : : Down there sleeping:

The fools will never know
what happened:

I am so relaxed:
Would you turn out the lights?

If you're a spy,
I'll have to kill you:

If that's an example
of your best pillow talk,
I think I found your problem:

This is no good, Twiki:

There are soldiers everywhere,
and we don't even know where
to begin to look for Captain Rogers:

[Laser Firing]

[Grunts]
Holy gee!

Let's see if we can find
your jammies now:

The pirate ships: So that's how
they were able to attack us:
It was their own people:

[Whistling]

Where's Tigerman?
I don't know, sir:

[Knocking Continues]

Go away!

Did they wake you, my darling, hmm?

Did they wake you,
my little babykins?
[Screams]

[Screaming]
Blast it!

Get out:! Get him out:!
Get him out:! Execute him:

- No: Remove him for questioning:
- You countermand my order?

Under the circumstances, yes:

Do as I say:

Take him:

You have a lot of explaining to do:

I have some explaining to do?

Well, it's not Gucci,
but what the hell:

[Chirping]
I don't want to get caught either:

But something is very wrong,
and we've got to find out
what it is:

[Chirping]
I hope you know this violates
my warranty:

You have quite obviously
been: : : Preoccupied:

I will deal with you
for your insolence later:

Give the order to attack at once:

We cannot attack without
your father's forces to support us:

Kane, you are spineless!

We do not need my father:
We have the element of surprise:

We can wipe out the Inner City:
We can destroy the defense shield:

By the time my father's forces arrive,

we'll be sitting on the throne
of the Earth:

At least I will, since you obviously
don't have the nerve:

All right, we will attack:

A wise decision, Kane:

Meanwhile, Captain Rogers is loose
somewhere on this ship:

Find him:

[Man Over P: A:]
Alert:! Alert:!

Hostile intruder aboard ship:

Alert:! Alert:! Alert:!
[Alarm Blaring]

[Chirping]
It's Buck:

[Theo]
I see him: And he's wearing
the uniform of the enemy:

This will warm your tail:

[Alarm Continues Blaring]

Those are warships out there:
That means the treaty is a hoax:

But we can do one last service
for our country:

We can deal with Captain Rogers:

[Man Over P: A:]
Six minutes to attack and counting:

Five minutes to attack and counting:

- Don't move, Captain Rogers:
- Theo, Twiki, what are you doing here?

- This isn't going to be pleasant for any of us:
- Will you guys get out of here?
I got work to do:

- We can see that, you traitor:
- Can't you see what's happening?

- I'd say someone is about to bomb Earth:
- Do you recognize these ships?

- No, but I don't see how
that's very important...
- They're pirate ships:

Why would there be pirate ships
aboard a Draconian flagship?

I'm sorry: You'll have to do better
than that: Now come with us:

Four minutes to attack and counting:
No:

Look, you half-baked load
of electronic gibberish: I don't
expect you to know everything,

but have you ever heard
of loading bombs into
the tailpipe of a rocket ship?

[Chirping]
You be quiet, Twiki:
I'm getting confused:

Well, maybe I can help "unconfuse" you:
There are no pirate ships:
There never were:

Those are Draconian bombers
disguised as marauders:

They've been harassing your shipping lanes
in order to force you
into a treaty with Draconia:

[Chirping]
Of course:
It's ingenious, if true:

- Three minutes to attack and counting:
- You got ten seconds to make up your mind
who you believe in, me or Kane:

- Some choice:
- Well, what about yourself?

Don't your circuits tell you
I'm on the level?
Yes:

Unless you wanna consider yourself
so many spare parts, why don't you
go along with your initial instincts?

All right, but only on the condition
you help us get to a communicator: : :

So we can warn the Inner City:

You're gonna have to do that
on your own:

On the chance that you don't make it,
I gotta make sure none of these ships
are ready to launch:

Commander Kane: We found
a guard unconscious in Bay 3:

- Two minutes to attack and counting:
- We've run out of time, Theo:

They found the guard I wiped out:
Get outta here:
All right:

We'll do our part:
Good luck, Buck:

[Alarm Continues Blaring]

Take me over to the console, Twiki:

Now, grab the middle panel:

Ninety seconds to attack and counting:
Drop it:

Grab the circuits and pull them:

Eighty seconds to attack and counting:

Put me close to the microphone:

[Radio Beeps]
Colonel Deering on line:

This is Dr: Theopolis:

Yes, Doctor: Where are you?
How did you get on this
emergency channel?

I'm on board the flagship Draconia:

I followed Captain Rogers
as ordered: Now please listen:

The Draconia is not...
repeat, not an unarmed vessel:
She's filled with bombers: : :

Preparing to launch a full-scale
military attack against the Inner City:

But how? Where did they come from?
Her landing bay was empty:

- Scramble your fighter squadrons:
Now, at once!
- Thank you, Doctor: Good luck:

Dr: Huer, permission
to scramble fighters:

Twenty seconds to attack and counting:

Eight, seven, six,

What is it?
What's going on?

[Screaming]

Our ships, they simply explode:
That's impossible!

[Men Screaming]

This is Earth Directorate:
Attack bombers as they launch:
We'll attack the main ship:

There are no bombers to attack:
They're exploding as they emerge:

- That doesn't make any sense:
- [Screams]

Get our warships out there!

Prepare to intercept:
Do not... I repeat, do not
use combat computers:

Disengaging:

Draconian on your wing!
Bank right! I'll get him!

We got two coming up from below:
I'll jump the one on the top:

I've got the other one:

[Explosions Continue]

- Take that and that!
- [Growling]

Oh, shoot:

[Screams]

All right: I'm gonna hold you
responsible for any damage
done to this bay:

[Chuckling]

I'm really sorry
it had to come to this:

Prepare to transmit Personlmage

What in the name

You are attacking while my ships
are still hours away?

L... Just following orders:

And just whose orders
were you following?

Your daughter's, sir:

And did she order our ships
to disintegrate as they enter battle?

If either of you survive this
greatest debacle our realm has known,

you will answer to me!

All squadrons, disengage
surviving warships and prepare

Very nice:

Thank you, but we're not
in the clear yet:

We would be rulers

If you hadn't let
Buck Rogers on board!

He wouldn't have been necessary
if you were more of a man:

We owe you a great deal more
than an apology, Buck, especially me:

I confess: I thought
the princess had you beguiled:

Well, I will say she had
the nicest set of: : : Horns at the ball:

Yes, it was an attractive hat:

[Ardala]
You'll never be the man
Buck Rogers is:

We'll see when we meet
Mr: Rogers again...

- And we will:
- I hope so:

Buck,

I know I've been aloof towards you
and cold:

I was frightened,
afraid to get involved:
Mm-hmm:

Things are going to be
different now between us:

I'm not all business:

I'm every bit the woman
that the princess was:

That's nice:

And from this moment on,
I'm going to prove it to you:

- What?
- Well, I guess that's the last
we'll see of Kane...

and the princess:

Twiki!

[Twiki Chirping]
Uh-oh:

[Grunts]
Eyes forward:

You'll get "star sick:"
[Chirping]
Buck, you're my kind of guy:

[Man]
Far beyond the world I've known

Far beyond my time

What am I
Who am I

What will I be

Where am I going

And what will I see

Searching my mind
for some truths to reveal

What thoughts are fantasy
What memories real

Long before this life of mine

Long before this time

What was there
Who cared

To make it begin

Is it forever

Or will it all end

Searching my past
for the things that I've seen

Is it my life

Orjust something
I dreamed

Far beyond this world I've known

Far beyond my time

What kind of world

Am I going to find

Will it be real

Orjust all in my mind

What am I
Who am I

What will I be

Where am I going

And what will I see
