All language subtitles for Buck Rogers in the 25th Century S01E19 - Olympiad

Jorix and I want to defect to Earth.

Buck runs a race against time
and death to help an Olympic

star and the girl he loves
escape from a life of slavery.

What is it?

Leave me alone. What's wrong, baby? No!

Ballarat controls the impulse that
activates Joe X's brain. He's a walking bomb.

Kill him.

Now.

The year is 1987, and NASA launches
the last of America's deep space probes.

In a freak mishap, Ranger 3 and its
pilot, Captain William Buck Rogers,

are blown out of their trajectory into
an orbit which freezes his life support

systems and returns Buck Rogers
to Earth Five hundred years later.

I'm just grateful for the
Olympic Games that came.

Whoop.

Good morning, and welcome to the
2492 Interplanetary Olympic Games.

We're here on the lovely planet
Micos in the Hipernia system,

and with me is Antonius
Davin, better known as Mr. 28,

a man who is always going someplace
in a hurry, in a fast hovercraft,

and with some pretty fast company.

And on my fast feet.

And I might add, two of
the fastest in the galaxy.

What is your strategy
for the games, Antonius?

Who needs strategy? We're just
gonna do what we always do. Run fast.

Sounds good to me.

We're talking with Matt Braun, gold medal
winner in the... Hey, wait a minute, man.

This is my interview.

Yeah, gold medal winner in the
horizontally... Well, what a surprise.

We've just been joined by a man known
throughout the galaxy. That's the universe.

A man who won three medals
in last year's Olympics.

Two golds and a silver.

Holland Hedenson from Sympion.
Remember, that's two golds and a silver.

The favorite. And there's nothing
compared to what I'm going to do this time.

Are we still shooting?

And here we have a sonic boxer.

Are you kidding? They're mean.

A runner, then.

Tumbler?

A gymnast of some kind.

Well, what is your event?

The gravity pool.

A weightlifter.

Well, why are you jumping rope?

Why not?

It's easier than pulling weights.

They're heavy.

Makes sense.

Practice sessions for the 2492
Olympic Games have concluded.

Please report to their sleep chambers.

Laura, it's been so long.

Joyce, I was so afraid that I
was never gonna see you again.

You've heard about such
terrible things happening on Lucia.

And I thought... No.

They won't hurt me.

Not yet, anyway.

The sat-trap needs my
gold medal in the games.

And after the games?

After the games, we'll be gone.

To a place where no one will
ever find us. Not your eggs.

There must be a way.

We can't meet here again. My quarters.

Tomorrow, after morning practice.

Lara, we will escape.

Believe me.

I love you.

A symbol of the
Olympic Games in my century.

I've been asked to present
at the Olympic Committee

on my coast before the Games begin.

That's really quite an honor, Buck.

The Olympiad has been a noble
concept for thousands of years.

It should really be quite exciting.

Make a great vacation,
especially since you love sports.

All ready to go, Buck. Right.

Look, it ought to be a lot of fun.
Why don't you come along, Wilma?

Oh, I'd love to, but I've got a
Centaurians meeting on Wednesday,

a Security Council dance Thursday
night, and a Directorate Caucus on Friday.

Why don't you say I didn't ask?

With your presentation and Dr.
Theopolis representing the directorate,

we'll probably be glued to the Holovision.

Of course, and it'll be just
like being there. Maybe better.

Well, there's nothing better
than being at the Olympics.

Except maybe the
opening of the World Series.

Well, let's hit the road, Twiggy.

Take good care of the place while
I'm gone, will you? Have fun, Buck.

There it is.

Joe, I think you should go.

If they find that you're
missing... I don't care.

I'm tired of taking orders from
Alaric and the rest of those idiots.

How dare you?

You are forbidden to enter these quarters.

You've been warned.

You are forbidden to enter these quarters.

Lara, don't.

It won't do any good.

I'm ready to go.

You'll forgive the interruption.

8-5 on the 40-kilometer speed limit.

Oh, God!

Well, the Olympics have sure
changed since my time, Twiggy.

Used to be thousands of
people jammed the stadium.

Now this.

Well, it sounds like a crowd.

Those responder units
broadcast millions of voices

from hundreds of
planets all over the galaxy.

Yeah, it's still not the same.

That's Jorak's lead from Losiria.

He's the vertical leap gold medal
champion from the last Olympics.

I've seen some high jumping in my time.

Something else. Let's take a closer look.

My name's Buck Rogers.
I've been watching you jump.

You guys really get up there, don't you?

My day, a jump of eight, eight and a
half feet was considered pretty good.

You guys must go over 20 feet.

Members of the Lazarian team are
not allowed to speak to outworlders.

What's the matter? What
is it? Leave me alone.

Well, what's wrong, mate? Now. Go!

The one talking to
Jorek's lead, who is he?

He is Captain Buck Rogers, a Terran.

I want to know exactly what he's doing
here and why he is talking to him. Yes, sir.

We cannot be too careful. The satrap
himself contacted me this morning.

His orders were very, very clear.

I am to ensure the victory of
Jorek's lead, no matter what the cost.

Nothing and no one is going to stop me.

Hello, I'm your artisan.

Well, the Astrosled champion.
Well, this is a real pleasure.

My name is... Captain
Buck Rogers of New Chicago.

That's right. How did you know?

I saw you presenting the flag
to the Olympic Committee today.

It was a very moving gesture.

Thank you.

It's been an hour.

Just enjoying the sights.

May I suggest you enjoy
them with me, Captain Rogers?

I was just about to test drive
my Astro Sled through the course.

The view is wonderful.

Sounds great.

Stay out of trouble,
Swiggy. Okay, bugger. This way.

Can't see the forest for
the knees around here.

Why don't you watch where
you're going, short stuff? Hey, man,

why don't you pick on
somebody your own size?

Because there's no one around
here my own size. But you might do.

Yeah, I plan to tomorrow
night. Tomorrow night,

you're gonna be kissing canvas, friend.

Don't let me come between you guys.

So, let's go right over here.

She's a beauty, isn't she?

I'm very proud of her. Careful. Come
right around front, and watch your step.

Stuck on the power in the cell.

And, uh, after you.

Sure.

You can just give me a hand here.

Sure.

Ready?

Ready as I'll ever be.

Reminds me of the
bobsled event back in my time.

Bobsled?

Yeah, it was basically the same
principle as astral sledding,

just instead of sliding through ice
curves, you slide through force fields.

Yes, force fields, Captain
Rogers, which you can't see.

You have to feel your way through them.

And if you run into one
straight on, it can be very messy.

Oh, I can imagine.

As a matter of fact, Captain Rogers,
why don't you try it yourself? Go ahead.

The next three are yours. Take over.

Wait a minute. I don't have a
license to drive one of these things.

Easy, easy, easy. I just feel
you right through it. Oh, yeah.

That's a tricky one there.

Coming up is where you get your speed.

Why doesn't that say nothing?

Very well done, Captain Rogers. You know,

I think we might make an
asterisk letter out of you yet.

You mean that's it? I was
just getting the hang of it.

Well, we're through with the course,

but I thought we might pull into orbit
and take in the view of my course, all right?

Sounds fine to me. I'll drive.

Our agent informs us
that Captain Rogers is

here by invitation of
the Olympic Committee,

an honored guest, it seems.

That's very interesting.

That makes it necessary to examine the
motives of this Titian woman more closely.

She just took Captain
Rogers up in her Astrosled.

Have a vid sensor
concealed in her room immediately.

You know, this really isn't like me.

Oh?

Being so forward, I hope
it doesn't embarrass you.

No, not at all.

The view's beautiful.
The company's charming.

Buck.

May I call you that?

Certainly.

Well, thank you. You're
a very beautiful woman.

You have a very kind
face. It's very sensitive.

And I may be wrong, but I trusted you from

the moment I first saw you in the stadium.

I knew that you were
someone that I could talk to.

Be comfortable with.

I'm glad you feel that way.

Are you all right?

It's just so very nice to
be here with you and...

It feels very safe.

Lara, why did you bring me up here?

Because I need to talk to somebody.

What is it? What's wrong?

Oh, Puck, you've got to help me.

Please help me.

Jorix and I first met at
the Olympiad on Rammel.

Then we fell in love.

Please.

But afterwards they forced
him to return to Lazaria,

so now the only time we see each other
is at the different intergalactic games.

But we still love each other very
much, and we want to be together.

But an alpha like Jorix is
not allowed to marry an alien.

Like me.

And now they're starting to use Jorix as
a symbol in their political struggles.

And if he doesn't perform for them,
the Satrap will have him executed.

Why doesn't he try to escape?
He's bound to have many chances.

They have him watched constantly.

That and the Disharmonizer.

The what?

Every Luzerian alpha is
implanted with a microscopic

molecular disharmonizer in their brain.

And Alaric controls the
impulse that activates Jorex's.

Headaches.

Whenever Alaric thinks that Jorex
needs a reminder of who his master is,

He hurts him.

Buck, Jorax and I want to
defect to Earth. There is a plan.

It could be very dangerous.

But there have been other
defections that have succeeded.

And Jorks can do it, too, with your help.

But he's going to try,
Puck, even without it.

All right, I'll see what I can do.

First priority is to get this
cleared through the directorate.

Then we gotta figure out a way to
get both you and Jorix out of here.

Buck.

Thank you.

Jorak's Leet wouldn't dare try
to escape. But with Roger's help,

you heard what he
said. Forget what he said.

Lara Tizian's life is our guarantee that
Leet will do precisely what I tell him to.

Now bring her to me.

Buck, the Lozierian satrap will stop
at nothing to maintain his supremacy.

Jorex's defection, it
won't be an easy matter.

Yes, but can you offer
him asylum on Earth?

We're always open to political refugees,
Buck. He'll have our full support. Great.

That's all I needed to know.

Rogers out.

Do you remember that Lozierian
expatriate we took in last year?

Zogan, the athlete.

Yes.

I'm going to get him in here.

He might have some
information that could help Buck.

Careful.

They'll never escape.
The odds are too great.

You did.

Yes, but you've got to understand that
Jorix is virtually a political prisoner.

Satrap will do anything to keep from
losing his control over him, even kill him.

Zogan, whatever our opinions, Jorax and
Laratizion are going to try to defect,

and we want to help them.

Now, can you think of anything
helpful, a weakness anywhere?

The Lyserians are careful, methodical.

They have to be. The penalties for
making a mistake are too severe.

Probably Alaric's sole weakness is
an area that doesn't even matter.

And what's that?

He's known to have a crippling
weakness for women of all persuasions.

He uses exos to win them and
keep them under his spell.

What is exos?

It's a powerful Lyserian chemosteroid.

Our athletes have used it for
centuries to help build physical development.

Coincidentally, it's been known to have
a rather persuasive effect on females.

Well, how can that help us?

I'm not sure, but since Alaric
controls Jor-X's disharmonizer,

it's absolutely essential to get to
him if any escape plan's gonna work.

Getting Jor-X out alive
isn't gonna be easy, Doctor.

No, it doesn't appear so.

I wanna go to my coast.

I wanna be there in
case Buck needs any help.

Well, you certainly have my
permission. Prepare to leave immediately.

New course record of 24.28 seconds.

The directorate has offered to
give Jorax any help they can,

including asylum on Earth.

Buck, that's wonderful.

Have you had a chance to
speak to him about all this?

I haven't been able to get
near him since yesterday.

The Tizian woman's surprise is
ready. Oh, yes, sir. All right.

Now we must create an interesting
diversion for Captain Buck Rogers.

A boxing lesson.

I need to find out
exactly what her schedule is.

That's not going to be easy with
Alaric watching him all the time.

We'll come up with something.

When's your race?

My race, right after the
vertical distance lead.

All you have to do is find a
way to get George to your sled.

If the timing is right, I
can rendezvous with the

two of you on the other side
of the course wheel, of course.

Now get something straight, Rogers.

You don't talk to me, you
don't talk to her either.

You understand?

George, please.

You're making a mistake.

There's no mistake
about what's going on here.

I can see it clear across the stadium.

Get your hands off of
me! Keep clear, Jorax.

We're gonna give Buck
Rogers a sonic boxing lesson.

I'll give my own lessons.

Please, gentlemen, don't fight
over me. I can't stand violence.

Hate to see a man
outnumbered. That makes two of us.

Three of us.

Now, I think we should talk.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Colonel Deering, I told you the satrap was

desperate to keep Jurex under his control.

I didn't realize how desperate he was.

What do you mean?

I've learned that they're prepared to
kill him rather than see him escape.

Alaric has made a special
modification in Jurex's disharmonizer.

He now has the
capability of destroying the

subcellular atomic bonds in Jorex's brain.

He can reduce Jorex in anyone within a
half-kilometer radius to space dust.

In other words, Dr. Huard,
Jorex has become a living bomb.

Well, hello.

I'm afraid I didn't order anything.

Please accept this gift from an admirer.

Oh.

What a lovely fragrance.

Is it from Jorex? It is not from Jorex.

Hmm. Hmm.

Excuse me. Roadhog.

She's not answering. That's strange.

It certainly is. Miss Tizian knew we were
coming over to discuss Jorex's defection.

Something's wrong.

Twiggy, do your stuff.

The odor is Zemdon, a powerful
anesthetic used exclusively on Loseria.

Alaric's found out about the defection.

He's got Lyra.

Come on, Twiggy.

What are you doing here?

Hi, Buck.

Dr. Hewer and I spoke with Eric Zogan,
the lozerian defector that's living on Earth.

He told us that Jorax has a brain implant.

Yeah, the molecular disharmonizer.
Most of the lozerians have them.

Yes, but his has been
modified to blow him and everyone

around him to pieces. He's a walking bomb.

Well, it rains, it pours.

Alrick has kidnapped Laertesian.

Now this.

Well, Jorix knows Alrick.

Maybe he can come up with some kind
of a clue as to where he's hiding her.

It's a good idea. It's worth a try.

What about the bomb?

We have to deactivate that
detonator without Alaric knowing.

If we could deactivate
it, or just take it,

what difference does it make
if he knows that we've done it?

A very big difference. If he finds
out we've deactivated it or taken it,

he'll surround George with a hundred
people. We'll never get him out of here.

Well, if you could tell
me how to find Alaric.

I think I've got an idea on
how to get the detonator.

Well, he carries it on his body.
How are you gonna get that close?

Well, Dr. Hewer and I had a very
interesting discussion with Zogan about Alaric,

and this is what we came up with.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Well, everybody's been talking
about the Lozerian exos, and well,

I just thought that I... You're Caruthia.

You've been enlisted to
entertain at the Olympia, correct?

Uh-huh.

You've heard of the
infamous Lazerian exiles?

Please, don't turn me
into the authorities.

Perhaps we could make
some other kind of...

Arrangements.

You will remember nothing but
that you had the time of your life.

Buck, we've got to find her.

No one knows we've
discovered Lara's missing.

He's gonna be watching
every move you make.

If you make one wrong move,
I'm gonna try to find him,

but I'm gonna need your
help. Well, of course.

Where does Allery go on my coast?

You know, bars, restaurants, spas? No, he
has an apartment in a recreation complex,

the Omega Suite. It's on the second
level. Nobody there asks any questions.

That's why we're here to look for him.

Joyce, I understand how you feel, but
please don't try to help Laura now.

Understand?

I advise extreme caution, Tweaky.

What do your scans indicate, Theo?

A relatively simple transmitting device
that utilizes low frequency zeta waves.

The speed of these waves is
approximately five times the speed of sound,

or about 1,660 meters per second.
Something's giving. What is it?

The detonator is equipped
with a safeguard system designed

to destroy the detonator and
Jorex if it is tampered with.

The sound is a first-stage warning.

Then we can't deactivate it.

I'm afraid that is impossible.

Then I've got to take it back
to Jorex before he wakes up.

He can't know that it's gone.

Stuck again?

Colonel Dearing, we may have
failed to neutralize the detonator,

but my sensors indicate a
useful solution for later on.

What is that?

The zeta waves are incapable of
penetrating the Stargate configuration.

Since they travel at
relatively slow speeds,

if Jorex could get through the Stargate...

Before Alaric realizes that he's
missing and activates the detonator,

the pulse would never reach him.

Precisely, Colonel.

Well, I'll be taking the detonator back.

I shouldn't be gone
longer than half an hour.

In the Sonic Boxes pit, moving
into the second round of eliminations

are Hal Lauder from Remus II
and Lex Protis from Centaur V.

Lara.

Buck, how'd you find me?

Never mind that. I'm gonna get you
out of here. Won't wait on much time.

Thank you for coming, Captain Rogers. We
were planning on you joining our party.

I've even brought you a small present.

You see this?

It's an authentic Lozerian ice cloud.

As heat rises, so cold descends.

This entire room, including both of you,

will be the temperature of deep
space in a matter of minutes.

Enjoy it. It's a
once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Heard of people being put on ice
before, but this is ridiculous.

Look, I'm so cold.

Yeah, the temperature must be
below freezing in here already.

What are you looking for?

A mirror. Let me have your necklace.

Almost got it.

Buck, what are you doing?

A little trick
shooting. Two ball, one rail.

Side pocket.

What are you doing here?

Well, the minister called me to his room.

Oh, another one.

Go!

He's not as pleasant when he awakens.

I was counting on
neutralizing that detonator.

It was essential.

Well, we're right back
where we started again.

There might be a chance.

There'll be about 10 minutes
between the end of George's

competition and the awards presentation.

And we can use that time and the
information Theo gave us concerning the detonator.

It just might work.

Lara, you're gonna have to get to
your Astro Sled and be ready to roll.

But don't let Alrick or Carl see you.

Right.

Tweaky, tell Jorix to go
directly to the Astro Sled

as soon as he finishes his
competition, not before.

Gotcha, Buck.

Lara, Jorix will be in
the Astro Sled with you.

I'll pick you up at the halfway point
just beyond the force field course.

We'll race for the
Stargate and the Starfighter.

You want me to get the
detonator back, don't you?

Yeah.

Only this time it doesn't
matter if Alaric finds out.

Is everyone clear on their assignments?

I'm wondering if I might
be of some assistance.

What do you have in mind, Theo?

My internal receivers allow me to monitor
the zeta wave pulses from the detonator.

The moment Alaric activates
it, I will be aware of it.

All right, Theo. I only hope it doesn't
become necessary. Let's get cracking.

Good luck, woman.

Oh, thank God you're there.

Indeed I am.

To what do I owe the
pleasure of this call?

Well, I was in the rec compound this
afternoon after leaving your quarters,

and I overheard something that
I think you should know about.

Tell me what you heard.

Oh, no, not over the vid phone. It has
something to do with a plot against you,

Deputy. Um, shouldn't I
come to your quarters?

No.

Where are you now?

Compound 7A, Unit 4.

Wait for me. I'll be there in 30 minutes.

The 15-kilometer run is about to begin.

I'm going to the stadium floor to watch
Jorex's competition. You go to the woman,

stay with her until I arrive.
It's imperative that I talk to her.

We need all set with Jorex, Buck.

Good shot by Jorak's lead from Moserio.

Well done.

Report to my quarters
immediately following the ceremony.

We have things to discuss.

Well, hello, my dear.

Where's the deputy?

He'll be here shortly.

But where did he go? It's
very important that I find him.

Where he went is no concern of yours.

Sit.

What's your hurry?

Well, I have other appointments.

They can wait.

Perhaps you can tell me what you're
doing in Captain Rogers' quarters.

Oh.

She's passing the time.

Good. Perhaps we can do the same.

Perhaps.

Now preparing for
launching in Astro Sled Shoot B,

the reigning
intergalactic champion, Lara Tizian.

Lara's going to be
taking off in a few seconds.

Where's Wilma with that detonator?

Lara Tizian has launched her Astro
Sled and is approaching the first

Buck, I couldn't get the detonator.
We've got to stop Lara and Jorix.

That's impossible.
They've already taken off.

But Alaric's going to
discover what happened any minute.

Well, we'll just have to get
to them before the pulse does.

Buck, you can't fly the Starfighter
through the force fields. It's too big.

If it hits one of them... Look, I've
already been through the course once with Lara.

That was with the Astro Sled.

Wilma, we don't have many alternatives.

Oh, where do you think you're going?

Why, you need a
co-pilot to chart the course.

And someone to monitor
the detonator pulse.

And I'm not staying alone.

Congratulations, Deputy Minister.

All those areas
rejoicing with Jorex's victory.

Thank you, my satrap.

They'll be making the awards soon,
and then... In an unusual development,

Jorik Sleet of Luzeria,
the winner of the gold

medal in the vertical leap competition,

has not appeared to receive his medal.

Officials are searching the
stadium in an attempt to find him.

What is the meaning of
this, Alaric? Where is Sleet?

He is in the stadium, my satrap.

He's probably refreshing
himself before accepting the medal.

It is your responsibility
to ensure his presence.

Our people must see
him receiving the medal.

Find him.

In another unusual development...

Our remote monitors have
determined that the Astrosled

piloted by Lara Tizian is
carrying a second passenger.

The identity of this person
has not yet been determined.

Deputy Minister, I trust you're
clearing up this unfortunate misunderstanding.

Yes, my satrap, of course.

Where is Jorex Leet?

Satrap, I can assure
you... Deputy Minister,

Jorex Leet has escaped
on the Tizian Astro Sled.

Jorex Leet has escaped.

Then kill him.

Now.

It is done, my Satrap.

Sensors register an explosion.

The zeta waves from the detonator will
reach him shortly, just a few seconds.

Captain Rogers, I have a reading.
The disharmonizer has been activated.

My calculations
indicate we have approximately

29.430 seconds to reach the Astro Sled.

Entering curve 33G, 77
degrees right, 82 degrees left.

24.2 seconds.

A starfighter has entered
the Astroslalom course and

seems to be racing in
pursuit of the Tizian sled.

Fifteen point seven seconds. There.

We don't have time to transfer them.

The astro stud doesn't
have stargate capability.

We'll have to try to catch up
with them on the straightaway

and then tractor them
through the stargate.

11.3 seconds. Time sure flies.

Watch out, Buck. The tangent on
that curve is nearly 80 degrees.

If they succeed in saving Jorek's
fleet in front of the entire galaxy...

We're almost close enough.

Hit the tractor beam. 5.9
seconds. Give me a break.

What do you mean, close?

We had a half second to spare, maybe more.

You have failed in your
mission, Deputy Minister.

You know your duty.

It's beautiful.

Yes, we rushed them over just as
soon as it came for Michael's.

It's well-deserved, too.

I mean, I've seen some high jumpers
in my time, but you are a high jumper.

I am so proud of you, and I
still can't believe we're here.

We'll never be able to thank you enough.

Thank Buck.

He had to see the Olympiad in person.

Well, that reminds me, Buck, someone
was looking for you, a man from UBC.

You know, the Holovid network?

What for?

Well, they saw you on the
Olympiad broadcast and thought you would

be perfect to cover the
equinox exercises in New Phoenix.

He asked if you'd be interested.

And what did you say?

Oh, well, I know what a
great athlete you are.

Well, Ma.

But I figured one Olympiad in a lifetime
is enough sports for anyone, even you.
