00:01:19Let's take a look, huh?
00:01:20We've walked millions of miles this trip, and that calls for time off.
00:01:24X-V2 calling Office of Space Affairs. Come in, please.
00:01:28This is the X-V2 calling Office of Space Affairs. Come in.
00:01:32Come in, X-V2. State celestial position.
00:01:34This is Rocky Jones of the Space Rangers reporting.
00:01:37Celestial meridian 58 degrees, parallel 146 degrees.
00:01:42We're now in second breaking ellipse of Earth,
00:01:44requesting landing clearance at approximately 1600.
00:01:47You're dead center on Baker flight path, Rocky.
00:01:49Right array, and we're all clear and waiting for you.
00:01:52Hold it. Here's Secretary Drake, sir.
00:01:55Welcome home, Rocky.
00:01:57Thank you, sir. I'm certainly glad to be back.
00:02:00Was it a rough trip?
00:02:01More or less routine, sir.
00:02:04Much more more than less less, Mr. Secretary. Believe me.
00:02:08I can believe you, Winky.
00:02:10Come in the office when you land, boys.
00:02:12I'll have your leave papers ready.
00:02:14Oh, thank you, Mr. Secretary.
00:02:17Thank you, sir. Out.
00:02:20Alert to ground crew. Alert to ground crew.
00:02:24Now learn this.
00:02:26X-V2 on Baker flight path.
00:02:30Now at 85,000. Prepare for landing.
00:03:01Pardon me, sir.
00:03:03But a car just drove through number three gate without stopping for identification.
00:03:17Okay, lock her up in the barn, boys.
00:03:23Hey, what about the seashore, Rocky?
00:03:26I know a place called Paradise Isle.
00:03:29Balmy nights and soft music under a big tropical moon.
00:03:34White sands washed by an emerald sea.
00:03:38How's it sound?
00:03:40Let's see what Drake has to say about that, huh?
00:03:42But he's already said it. Leave papers.
00:03:46Look out, Winky.
00:03:52Hey, you know something? It's safer up there.
00:03:59But, uh, who wants to be up there?
00:04:02Come on, Skipper.
00:04:04Do you know you're a trespasser?
00:04:06On any foot of that mountain road, you could have been destroyed.
00:04:09Yes, yes, Mr. Secretary, but I had to take the chance.
00:04:12What's your name?
00:04:13Veena Ray.
00:04:14And your reason for being here?
00:04:15Professor Newton.
00:04:16I have no interest in anything that concerns the professor.
00:04:19I know. I know. You believe he's a traitor to the United Worlds of the solar system.
00:04:23Yes, his own words prove it.
00:04:25But, Mr. Secretary, during our exchange of scientists with the Ophiuchus group, I was an interpreter.
00:04:31When the rest of us left, I shook hands with the professor.
00:04:35His eyes tried to tell me something.
00:04:38He gave me this.
00:04:41To Professor Newton from Secretary Drake, with profound gratitude and eternal friendship.
00:04:47But, Mr. Secretary, why did he leave the medal in my hand?
00:04:50He must have wanted me to bring it to you.
00:04:52I don't know.
00:04:53Professor Newton recorded his decision on film.
00:04:56The Ophiuchians left it at our outpost on Sassinus to be delivered to me.
00:05:00It is proof positive.
00:05:03Griff, project the Newton declaration.
00:05:05Yes, sir.
00:05:09One moment, please.
00:05:12Mission complete and job well done, boys. Congratulations.
00:05:15Thank you, sir.
00:05:16And now I have new orders.
00:05:20Here are your leave papers. Relax.
00:05:23Stretch out and watch the stars as something beautiful and mysterious,
00:05:26not as places you've been to make friends or to fight our enemies.
00:05:30Report back on the 20th.
00:05:32Hey, Rocky, two months leave. How about that?
00:05:35Ready with the Newton declaration, Mr. Secretary.
00:05:38Thank you, Griff. Enjoy your time off, boys.
00:05:41You've earned it.
00:05:42Thank you, sir.
00:05:44Come on, Skipper, let's not waste a second of that two months.
00:05:47Paradise Island, here we come.
00:05:49Wait a minute, Winky.
00:05:50As long as we're here, let's see the Newton declaration too, huh?
00:05:58When ready, Griff.
00:06:02Mind if we join you, Mr. Secretary?
00:06:04Please do, Rocky.
00:06:14Secretary Drake, may I first say this?
00:06:19The decision to remain on Ophiuchus is mine and mine alone.
00:06:25I have been influenced by neither word nor act.
00:06:29These people are my friends.
00:06:35Perhaps, thinking singularly,
00:06:38I would not have made such a drastic move and severed the ties of a lifetime.
00:06:44But I must consider my young ward, Bobby.
00:06:50A long life stands before him.
00:06:54And not through heritage, but by my choice.
00:06:58He can now share in the triumph and the glory of Ophiuchus.
00:07:07Come here, Bobby.
00:07:09Newton wanted Bobby to become a space ranger. He said it a thousand...
00:07:12Shh.
00:07:15Mr. Secretary, you've heard my wish, my declaration.
00:07:22Now, Bobby, say goodbye to our friends.
00:07:26Goodbye, Mr. Secretary.
00:07:28And please, sir, say hello to Rocky Jones, to Winky,
00:07:32and to the rest of the space rangers.
00:07:37A detailed letter made his breach complete.
00:07:39He surrendered all his property, even the Newton Observatory.
00:07:42I'm sorry, sir, but I just can't believe it.
00:07:44Professor Newton was either drugged or forced to make that declaration
00:07:47by a threat on Bobby's life.
00:07:49That's true, Mr. Secretary. He's their prisoner.
00:07:51With your permission, sir, I'd like to find out.
00:07:54Hey, Rocky.
00:07:58Oh, well. Another day, another moon, maybe.
00:08:03Ophiuchus.
00:08:05As you know, Rocky, they asked us to close our embassy.
00:08:08You won't be welcome, either.
00:08:09Yes, I understand, sir.
00:08:11But it could happen that we were lost in space and forced to land, couldn't it?
00:08:15I'm sure they're not prepared to invite open warfare
00:08:17by imprisoning a couple of space rangers.
00:08:19Yeah, but they will be soon with Professor Newton on their side, huh, Rocky?
00:08:22It's a gamble, but worth the chance, sir.
00:08:40Griff to W-O-X.
00:08:45Griff to W-O-X. Come in.
00:08:48W-O-X to Griff. Come in, Griff.
00:08:50Beam urgent message to Ophiuchus.
00:08:53Drake now believes Professor Newton prisoner.
00:08:55Rocky Jones may attempt rescue flight.
00:08:58We'll get it through, Griff. Any further orders?
00:09:01Stand by.
00:09:03If rescue flight is attempted by Rocky Jones,
00:09:05we'll inform you of blast-off time and refuel station.
00:09:08We're to destroy his orbit jet before it reaches your zone.
00:09:11And the blame placed on you. Out.
00:09:16This is the curtain which separates our League of Planets from the Ophiuchus group.
00:09:19From that point on, they are able to jam our missiles.
00:09:22If you pass that point, you'll be without a communication link.
00:09:24You'll be on your own, Rocky. It'll be dangerous.
00:09:27I understand, sir. We'll make it, though.
00:09:30Now, where will our refuel station be?
00:09:33That's up to you.
00:09:35May I suggest base station R-V-5?
00:09:37That's stretching the first hop, and there's very little traffic there.
00:09:40Right. And in the interest of secrecy, I'll declare the area out of bounds,
00:09:43except to commercial craft.
00:09:45Now, for your crew.
00:09:47Well, so that those on the other planet can't claim invasion,
00:09:50Winky and I should go it alone.
00:09:52We'll disable our ship, land, search for Professor Newton and Bobby,
00:09:55and try to get to the base.
00:09:57Disable our ship, land, search for Professor Newton and Bobby,
00:10:00and try to bring them back with us.
00:10:01Please, Mr. Secretary.
00:10:05Can't I go?
00:10:07It's out of the question.
00:10:08Why? Would that make it an invasion?
00:10:10No. But it's not a picnic, either.
00:10:12I don't like picnics.
00:10:14What I mean is, a flight like this is no place for a girl.
00:10:18I'm not a girl. I mean, yes, I am,
00:10:20but I'm not a girl in the way you mean I'm a girl.
00:10:23I'll take care of myself, Rocky Jones.
00:10:25I can be of real help to you.
00:10:27Please, Mr. Secretary, I know these people.
00:10:29I speak their language, and I know their country.
00:10:32And for your information, Mr. Rocky Jones,
00:10:35I'm also licensed as a navigator.
00:10:38Miss Ray would be extremely valuable as an interpreter.
00:10:41We mustn't pass up any chance to make the mission a success.
00:10:44Planetary conditions will be ideal at 0230.
00:10:47If you'll state my crew, sir, I'll prepare for blast-off.
00:10:50Winky will go,
00:10:52and Veena Ray will be signed on as auxiliary space ranger.
00:10:56Very good, sir.
00:10:58Ranger Ray, prepare to stand inspection at 0200.
00:11:02Very good, sir.
00:11:17Take positions on platform.
00:11:23Do your best to bring back Professor Newton,
00:11:25but please, Rocky, no unnecessary chances.
00:11:28Yes, sir, I understand, sir.
00:11:30We wouldn't dare because we have a girl aboard.
00:11:32It isn't that. We don't want to lose any of you,
00:11:35any more than Professor Newton and Bobby.
00:11:37I'm sorry, sir.
00:11:40Move in boarding platform.
00:11:48Switch on blast-off synchronizer.
00:11:52Switch on.
00:11:54Switch on.
00:11:56Switch on.
00:12:22Griff to WOX. Griff to WOX.
00:12:25Come in.
00:12:27WOX to Griff. Come in, Griff.
00:12:29Rocky Jones blasting off at 0230.
00:12:32Refused space station is RV-5.
00:12:34Area declared out of bounds,
00:12:36making it ideal for attack without interference.
00:12:39We'll be waiting for him, Griff.
00:12:41Over.
00:12:56Secure for blast-off, Vena.
00:12:59They turn off that noise.
00:13:01Gives me the creeps.
00:13:03Say, you've been aboard a spaceship before?
00:13:05Sure, on an interplanetary express.
00:13:08It's about as exciting as a streetcar.
00:13:11The orbit jet is different, believe me.
00:13:14Well, that noise is our blast-off synchronizer,
00:13:17and when those two sounds get together,
00:13:19we'll be up there.
00:13:21Really?
00:13:23There's your navigating table, navigator. Have fun.
00:13:26Before this trip is over, you two will be mighty glad I came along.
00:13:37How's the new crew member?
00:13:39Our glamour girl navigator.
00:13:41Not a thing to worry about, Rock.
00:13:43I hate to admit it, but she sure knows her stuff.
00:13:49All right. Ready, Winky?
00:13:51Ready, sir.
00:14:22The End
00:14:41Winky, you know I've never questioned an order from Drake before,
00:14:44but I just can't see where it helps,
00:14:46having a girl aboard on a dangerous mission like this.
00:14:49Well, she speaks your patient's language, Rocky,
00:14:51and that's what we'll need if we make a successful landing there.
00:14:54I'd rather have an extra pair of fists.
00:14:56Anybody understands that language.
00:14:58Aw, give her a break, Rocky. She's a good kid.
00:15:03Uh, we're entering the exosphere. Switch on artificial gravity.
00:15:06Artificial gravity, sir.
00:15:08Go to work grabbing Gertie and don't lose your grip.
00:15:14Correct drift, 0.1 by 0.4.
00:15:170.1 by 0.4, sir.
00:15:41Pardon, sir, but we've entered the exosphere.
00:15:44Oh, really?
00:15:45And may I suggest a drift correction, 0.1 by 0.4?
00:15:49Good charting, Vena.
00:15:51Thanks, Winky.
00:15:53Awaiting orders, sir.
00:15:55You're a little late.
00:15:57What should I do, sir?
00:15:59Return to quarters and knit me a sweater.
00:16:04Sorry, sir. I don't know how to knit.
00:16:07But if I did, I'd make you a muffler
00:16:09and maybe tie it real tight around your neck.
00:16:16Sir?
00:16:33See, now, I used to do this.
00:16:36Knit one, purl two.
00:16:45Knit one, purl two.
00:16:54Rocky, I'm, sir, an object is approaching from 2 o'clock.
00:16:58Oh, are you positive or is this merely a woman's intuition?
00:17:01I said and I repeat, there's an object approaching us very rapidly.
00:17:05She was right before, Rocky.
00:17:15Get Drake on astrophotography.
00:17:16Yes, sir.
00:17:17What can I do, Rocky?
00:17:18Nothing. Just sail away.
00:17:20XB-2 calling Officer Space Affairs.
00:17:22Come in, Officer Space Affairs.
00:17:27XB-2 calling Officer Space Affairs.
00:17:29Come in, Officer Space Affairs.
00:17:30Acknowledge, please, we're under attack.
00:17:32Enemy unknown.
00:17:34XB-2 calling Officer Space Affairs.
00:17:36Come in, Officer Space Affairs.
00:17:38We're under attack. Mayday.
00:17:40Mayday.
00:17:41Mayday.
00:17:42Mayday.
00:17:46It's a cold channel, Rocky.
00:17:48All right, we'll make a fight of it.
00:17:50Prepare to return fire.
00:17:51Aye, aye, sir.
00:17:52Please, Rocky, what can I do?
00:17:53Secure your blast chair.
00:17:54But I...
00:17:55That's an order and stay there.
00:18:13He took a hit aft, sir.
00:18:18I can't nail him if you don't hold course.
00:18:28Ready, Winky?
00:18:29Ready, sir.
00:18:30Approaching target.
00:18:32Steady.
00:18:33Steady, sir.
00:18:34Steady.
00:18:35Steady.
00:18:36Steady.
00:18:37Steady.
00:18:38Steady.
00:18:39Steady.
00:18:40Steady.
00:18:41Steady, sir.
00:18:43On it, Winky.
00:18:44Fire away.
00:18:51Well, it takes care of that war it was.
00:18:56Level off for freefall, Winky, while I check the dam.
00:18:58Aye, aye, sir.
00:19:03You all right, Peter?
00:19:04Yes, but what happened, Rocky? What is it?
00:19:11I don't know.
00:19:12I don't know.

00:22:05I don't know.
00:22:06I don't know.
00:22:22Take charge, Winky.
00:22:23I think she'll be all right.
00:22:24She helped save our lives.
00:22:25We've got to save hers.
00:22:27I'll get us to the space station as soon as possible.
00:22:35The XB-2 calling space station RV-5, come in RV-5.
00:23:02This is the XB-2 calling space station RV-5, come in RV-5.
00:23:08RV-5 to XB-2, glad to hear from you.
00:23:12Rocky, this is Space Ranger Clark.
00:23:15Boy, am I glad to see you. I've got a crippled ship.
00:23:19If you were landed in more than one piece, I'd certainly be surprised.
00:23:22Hold on, I'll see if the magnetic couple will pick you up.
00:23:31Whoa!
00:23:47We got you, Rocky. Relax and we'll pull you in.
00:23:51Thanks, Clark. Out.
00:23:55Oh, Vena. Gee, I'm glad to see you up and around.
00:23:59Thank you, sir. I'm sorry I caused so much trouble.
00:24:03Oh, that's all right. Could happen to anyone.
00:24:06Thank you, sir. And I'm going to make up for it.
00:24:09And prove that I can be it. Well, that a girl can be it.
00:24:13Vena. Yes, sir?
00:24:15I've been thinking it over. There's an express that stops at the space station and...
00:24:20Well, it might be best if... If I were on it?
00:24:24Yes, Vena.
00:24:26You see, what's happened so far could be called routine for a space ranger, so...
00:24:30It's really no place for...
00:24:33Well, what I mean is it's best if you go back to Earth.
00:24:36Say it. It's no place for a girl.
00:24:39Now, listen to me, Rocky Jones.
00:24:41In the first place, I was the one who spotted the enemy ship. Remember?
00:24:44Now, look, Vena, don't you... Go ahead. Be the referee.
00:24:47Don't count me out.
00:24:49I can say what I think about you in 37 different languages.
00:24:52I'll start with the Martian.
00:24:54You're nothing but a big vowel vac.
00:24:56On that, you may call your...
00:24:58On that, you may call your...
00:25:16And in conclusion, Rocky Jones, I meant every single word I said.
00:25:22Uh, you'll never get her on that express to Earth, Rocky.
00:25:26And, you know, I've got a feeling that she's gonna come in mighty handy
00:25:29when we make that forced landing on Ophiuchus.
00:25:32Forced landing on Ophiuchus.
00:26:03Space Station RV-5 to Earth Headquarters.
00:26:06Office of Space Affairs.
00:26:08Station RV-5 to Earth Headquarters.
00:26:11Office of Space Affairs.
00:26:13Secretary Drake speaking. Come in, RV-5.
00:26:16This is Clark, Mr. Secretary.
00:26:18I'm ready with report on flight code name Haystack.
00:26:21Anxious to have it, Clark. Send it over the scrambler.
00:26:28Ready here, sir.
00:26:29Proceed, Clark.
00:26:32Proceed, Clark.
00:26:48A late report on Rocky Jones' mission to Ophiuchus.
00:26:53That's it, sir.
00:26:55Thanks, Clark. Over and out.
00:26:58Damage to orbit ship repaired on Space Station.
00:27:01Area thoroughly searched, but no trace of attacking ship, nor clue to identity.
00:27:05Who did it, sir? Any idea?
00:27:07Griff, I'd give our claim to Aquarius to find out who it was.
00:27:10A tough order, sir.
00:27:11A sudden attack out of space by an unidentified ship.
00:27:14Could it be space pirates, sir?
00:27:17The blast-off from Space Island was successful at 0814.
00:27:21Rocky Jones, Winky, and Veena Ray aboard.
00:27:24In daily communication, Rocky Jones reports flight without incident.
00:27:28Yesterday's message gobbled, and now out of contact.
00:27:31Must assume that Rocky is through the curtain and flying in the Ophiuchus formation.
00:27:49Winky, we've just entered the Ophiuchus formation.
00:27:53They should be spotting us any minute.
00:27:55Well, then we'd better be on the alert, Rocky.
00:27:58Right you are, Winky.
00:28:23Who's there?
00:28:41Bobby!
00:28:45Professor Newberry!
00:28:47Yes?
00:28:48The results of your experiment?
00:28:50Well, I haven't got them yet.
00:28:52Why not? You've had more than enough time.
00:28:54Yes, I know, but activating chemicals and alloys, it's a long and tedious task.
00:29:02It's like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
00:29:07But don't worry, Doc Anto. I'm not one to give up.
00:29:11Professor Newton, you're using the same formula as on Earth?
00:29:15Exactly. Oh, but tomorrow.
00:29:17Tomorrow?
00:29:18And the same material.
00:29:21Do it now, Professor Newton, or I find you won't cooperate.
00:29:24You know what that means!
00:29:26Let go of him! Leave him alone!
00:29:34Professor Newton, you've been granted extraordinary privilege.
00:29:38Bobby has been near you and allowed a weekly visit.
00:29:40Proudly, I say, my own son does not know my face.
00:29:44As Bobby will not long remember yours.
00:29:47Joypacks!
00:29:49No, I won't go!
00:29:54Professor Newton!
00:29:56Bobby!
00:29:57Stay down!
00:29:59Doc Anto!
00:30:00Yes, Professor Newton?
00:30:02I pledge my complete cooperation.
00:30:06I thought you'd finally see it my way.
00:30:19How's she going, Rock?
00:30:22Look, Quinkie.
00:30:27Ah, the officiant beams picked us up, huh?
00:30:30But still no challenge?
00:30:32Not a word. I don't like it.
00:30:34Well, this is spook land for sure.
00:30:37Trocovic and Sparcano. Trocovic.
00:30:40Sparcano and Orphean.
00:30:42Sparcano and Orphean.
00:30:44Sparcano, Trocovic.
00:30:46Sparcano and Orphean.
00:30:48Well, that must be their challenge now.
00:30:51Space Ranger Ray, forward please.
00:30:54Vena.
00:30:55Translate the incoming message.
00:30:58Trocovic and Sparcano.
00:31:00It's a repeat to identify and state destination.
00:31:03Shall I answer an officiant, sir?
00:31:05No, not yet.
00:31:06They'll know the universal distress signal, Helipso.
00:31:08That's all I want them to know at the moment.
00:31:11Helipso! Helipso!
00:31:13Rocky Jones of the airship XV-2 in distress.
00:31:17Helipso!
00:31:23Come in, XV-2, and declare nature of emergency.
00:31:27Starboard control rockets conked out.
00:31:29Request permission to land and repair.
00:31:32Do you know you've transgressed the officiant boundary?
00:31:36We could disintegrate you with no questions asked.
00:31:40My apologies. It was unavoidable.
00:31:43I now ask that you recognize Article 7 of our treaty.
00:31:47Rocky Jones?
00:31:49May I speak to someone in authority?
00:31:52I am Cleolanta, the suzerain of Ophiuchus.
00:31:57Yes, I will respect the treaty.
00:32:00You have my permission to land.
00:32:02Ellipse our planet.
00:32:04We will then assign approach path and clearance.
00:32:07Fintendo and tow.
00:32:09Fintendo and tow.
00:32:11I guess that means Roger and out.
00:32:13Catch on fast, Winky. It does.
00:32:15Winky, go after and knock out one of the starboard rockets.
00:32:19Do enough damage so we'll have at least a week to find Professor Newton and Bobby while you make repairs.
00:32:24Oh, Rocky, all that work? Couldn't we just pretend?
00:32:27Order's orders. We've got to stay there a week.
00:32:29Go on now. Beat it.
00:32:32Fortunately, Griff prepared us for Rocky Jones's arrival.
00:32:36Now to prepare Professor Newton and the boy.
00:32:54Sit down, Bobby.
00:32:55Please, Cleolanta. I'd rather stand.
00:32:58Please, Cleolanta. I'd rather stand.
00:33:01Why'd you send for me?
00:33:03I said sit down.
00:33:08Are you enjoying your visit on Ophiuchus?
00:33:10It's not a visit. You're keeping us by force.
00:33:13You'll never let us leave.
00:33:15Professor Newton is very valuable to our cause.
00:33:18To Bobby, if you study and prepare yourself.
00:33:22And cooperate.
00:33:24I don't like what you teach.
00:33:26And if you think you'll ever lick Earth and the united worlds of the solar system,
00:33:30you've got another thing coming.
00:33:33You may change your mind, Bobby.
00:34:27Perfect.
00:34:29He's under our influence.
00:34:32From now on, little Bobby will be cooperating.
00:34:36Now, Professor Newton is next.
00:34:38But, Cleolanta, the professor has just pledged his complete cooperation.
00:34:42The work can't continue with the distortion of thoughts.
00:34:44We don't dare risk confusing his brain.
00:34:46That will be my decision, D'Arganto.
00:34:49Right now, I'm going to make a decision.
00:34:52That will be my decision, D'Arganto.
00:34:55Right now, the report Rocky Jones will send back to Earth is more important.
00:35:09This is the XV-2, awaiting further landing instructions.
00:35:15This is Cleolanta, the suzerain of Ophiuchus.
00:35:18Come in, XV-2, and identify.
00:35:21This is Rocky Jones in the XV-2.
00:35:23We have ellipsed your planet, now request landing instructions.
00:35:26Set controls for free fall.
00:35:28We will bring you in.
00:35:30When you land, I shall personally extend a welcome to Ophiuchus.
00:35:35Fintendo and Tov.
00:35:37Fintendo and Tov.
00:35:39Set for free fall?
00:35:41What a system.
00:35:43Say, maybe we got our word Ophiuchus from their name Ophiuchus, huh?
00:35:46I'm afraid you're right, Winky.
00:35:49Well, let's take a look before we land, huh?
00:35:55Free fall, sir.
00:35:58Wow!
00:36:00If that's not the biggest building yet, I'll scramble Scorpio.
00:36:03What is it, Vena?
00:36:05An alcavary to Governor Knox.
00:36:06What's that in English?
00:36:07It means government headquarters.
00:36:09We'll be taken there.
00:36:10I hope we'll come back out.
00:36:12People have been known not to.
00:36:19I'm anxious to meet this fabulous Rocky Jones.
00:36:33This will be an unexpected pleasure in more ways than one.
00:36:44You and your friends are free to come and go as you wish.
00:36:47See our country.
00:36:48Look into corners.
00:36:50Search our minds.
00:36:52We have nothing to hide.
00:36:54I only ask for a fair report when you return to Earth.
00:36:59Don't believe a word of it.
00:37:02How long will it take to repair your spaceship?
00:37:05Oh, a week perhaps.
00:37:08We'll do the job as soon as possible.
00:37:11Why not enjoy your stay here, Mr. Jones, and let my technicians do the work?
00:37:16I insist.
00:37:17We can do a much better job, I assure you.
00:37:22Letting the rest of the universe know the truth about Ophiuchus is difficult, Mr. Jones.
00:37:27People who don't understand us go back with lurid tales.
00:37:31While those that do are left to remain and share our life with us in happiness here.
00:37:39Perhaps you know Professor Newton.
00:37:42I, uh...
00:37:44Why, yes, I do.
00:37:45John Ward? Bobby?
00:37:47Yes, I know them both very well.
00:37:49Then you must see them. At once.
00:37:51I'd like to, Cleolanta.
00:38:09We're proud of our observatory, Rocky.
00:38:12I'll have Professor Newton show you around.
00:38:15The professor likes it here very much, as you know.
00:38:20Ah, so now it's Rocky, huh?
00:38:22And he's about to crack out with...
00:38:24Some kid, Cleo.
00:38:26Oh, he's just playing it her way, stringing her along.
00:38:28Women always fall for that, you know.
00:38:42Professor Newton.
00:38:44Sir?
00:38:45Here are some friends.
00:38:46Hello, Professor.
00:38:47Hi, Professor.
00:38:49Friends?
00:38:51Oh, why, of course.
00:38:54Rocky Jones and Winky.
00:38:57Well, well, this is indeed a pleasure and a surprise.
00:39:02Welcome, welcome to Ophiuchus.
00:39:06We'll leave you alone to enjoy the reunion.
00:39:09There's no, no reason for you to leave, Cleolanta.
00:39:23This is like old times, isn't it, Rocky?
00:39:27Oh, Professor, you remember Veena Ray?
00:39:29Veena Ray?
00:39:30Well, it seems I should.
00:39:32It was during the exchange of scientists back on Earth that...
00:39:35You gave me a medal, given you by Secretary Drake, remember?
00:39:38I gave you a medal?
00:39:40Yes, don't you remember?
00:39:42Well, perhaps.
00:39:44Oh, but that's of no matter, Rocky, Rocky.
00:39:47Isn't this a wonderful country?
00:39:49So exciting, so stimulating.
00:39:52And look, these instruments, things to work with beyond my wildest dreams.
00:39:57And, uh, where's Bobby, Professor?
00:40:00Bobby?
00:40:02Why, of course, Bobby.
00:40:04I'll get him.
00:40:07Hey, uh, maybe they got a bug planted in here so they can overhear our conversations.
00:40:12Maybe the Professor knows about it and he's putting on an act.
00:40:14Maybe.
00:40:15But that look in his eyes...
00:40:17He's not the same, Rocky.
00:40:18I know.
00:40:21Hi there, Bobby.
00:40:22The Space Ranger service hasn't been the same without you around under our heels.
00:40:26We sure miss you.
00:40:27Nice of you to say that, Winky.
00:40:29Welcome to Ophiuchus, Rocky.
00:40:32Oh, come on, Bobby.
00:40:34Let's see how much you've grown.
00:40:35You used to come up to here, you know.
00:40:37Height alone isn't the measurement of a man.
00:40:54Well, Bobby, do you see any changes?
00:40:56Nothing appreciable.
00:40:58Remember, you were going to Captain One just like her when you grew up.
00:41:01And none of that newfangled stuff, boys.
00:41:03She's got to be just like the orbit jet.
00:41:05I'll captain a spaceship someday and she'll run rings around the orbit jet.
00:41:10Maybe we'll meet up in space against each other.
00:41:13And I'll like that.
00:41:16Bobby.
00:41:17I'd like to go back to the observatory.
00:41:22All right, Bobby.
00:41:35Mina, take Bobby back to the observatory, please.
00:41:39Goodbye, Bobby.
00:41:40Bye.
00:41:41So long, Bobby.
00:41:44Nothing, huh?
00:41:46And I thought going through the orbit jet would bring him back to his senses.
00:41:49Boy, if we could get him back on Earth for a while, they'd come to their senses quick enough.
00:41:53Hey, maybe we could figure out a way to...
00:41:57We go by the rule of freedom and a man's right to make his own decisions.
00:42:01Professor Newton and Bobby want to stay here on Amphitius, so there's nothing we can do about it.
00:42:16We used to be friends.
00:42:18Sorry it's different now.
00:42:20Goodbye, Bobby.
00:42:21Goodbye.
00:42:42Bobby, what's the matter?
00:42:43I don't know.
00:42:44I feel sort of dizzy, as if I wasn't myself.
00:42:46Here, I'll help you up the stairs.
00:42:47No!
00:42:48It's cold.
00:42:49It's a prison, just like the rest of Amphitius.
00:42:52Say that again, Bobby.
00:42:53No, no.
00:42:54I don't know what I'm saying.
00:42:57Mina, I was just on the orbit jet with Rocky, wasn't I?
00:43:00Yes, Bobby, you were.
00:43:02Please, Mina, go get Rocky for me.
00:43:04I want to talk to him right away.
00:43:05Of course, Bobby.
00:43:06Hurry, Mina!
00:43:07I will, Bobby.
00:43:09With your permission, we'd like to blast off at 0300.
00:43:13So soon?
00:43:15Does this mean you don't like it here?
00:43:18I would like to prolong your visit, Rocky.
00:43:21And I would rather you didn't.
00:43:25Hey, Vena.
00:43:26Looking for me?
00:43:28Where's Rocky?
00:43:29He got a call from Cleolanta.
00:43:31What's reverse English for the government building?
00:43:33An Alcavar de Governos.
00:43:34That's what the man said.
00:43:35That's where Rocky is.
00:43:36Thanks, Winky.
00:43:37Sure.
00:43:40Do I have permission to blast off at 0300?
00:43:43You have no right to detain us, you know.
00:43:45Please, Rocky, sit down.
00:43:48Perhaps you'd rather blast off earlier.
00:43:500230, the time you left Earth.
00:43:54How did you learn that?
00:43:57I also knew of the attack by an unknown spaceship.
00:44:01And a great many other things.
00:44:04Shall I go on?
00:44:06Yes.
00:44:08This is very interesting.
00:44:12Please do.
00:44:14For instance, your mission to bring back Professor Newton.
00:44:18And the boy.
00:44:22But they don't want to go back, do they, Rocky?
00:44:27And maybe you won't want to go back either.
00:44:30Any more than they do.
00:44:43Oh!
00:45:01Rocky?
00:45:03Rocky?
00:45:06Rocky!
00:45:09Rocky?
00:45:11Crocky?
00:45:13Crocky?
00:45:16Crocky?
00:45:27D'Arganto! D'Arganto! See me at once!
00:45:33You've got to come with us, Professor. I want to go back.
00:45:36No. I refuse. I refuse to leave Ophiuchus.
00:45:40This is my adopted land, and I prefer to remain here.
00:45:44He doesn't mean it, Crocky. He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:45:47Oh, Bobby.
00:45:48Please, Crocky, get us off of here. Right away.
00:45:59Meet them when you're standing by the spaceship.
00:46:01Now, we've been allowed to come and go as we wish.
00:46:03If we're lucky, we can make it for a fast blast-off.
00:46:05Oh, no! Ah, D'Arganto, my good friend!
00:46:10I beg you.
00:46:15Come along, Bobby. Come along.
00:46:17I've already told them we prefer to remain here.
00:46:20Crocky!
00:46:21No, I won't go.
00:46:23I want to stay with Crocky.
00:46:25Crocky!
00:46:34Yes, D'Arganto?
00:46:36Rocky Jones was trying to force Professor Newton to leave Ophiuchus.
00:46:39And the boy?
00:46:40He's been... He's been influenced, Cleolanta.
00:46:43Have Rocky Jones step forward.
00:46:47So, this is the way you repay the freedom I have granted you.
00:46:52D'Arganto.
00:46:53Yes, Cleolanta?
00:46:54Bring Rocky Jones to Alcabar de Governox.
00:46:58It will be his decision to remain on Ophiuchus.
00:47:16D'Arganto! D'Arganto!
00:47:47Who told you about my flight to Ophiuchus?
00:47:50Who's your man on Earth?
00:47:53Tell me!
00:47:54Who's your spy on our planet?
00:47:56Griff. Griff from the Space Ranger Service.
00:47:59Did you say Griff?
00:48:02No!
00:48:03No!
00:48:04No!
00:48:05No!
00:48:06No!
00:48:07No!
00:48:08No!
00:48:09No!
00:48:10No!
00:48:11No!
00:48:12No!
00:48:13No!
00:48:14No!
00:48:15No!
00:48:45You can't lift a couple of space rangers, can you, Bobby?
00:48:57Quick, Bobby, up the ladder.
00:49:21Hey, Vena, here comes Rocky with the professor and Bobby.
00:49:26Looks like trouble. We'd better prepare for blast-off.
00:49:29On the double, Vena.
00:49:31Secure blast-off harness and ascend ladder.
00:49:34What was that last thing, Winky?
00:49:36Do what you what?
00:49:37Never mind, I'll get it.
00:49:42Secure for blast-off.
00:49:46Rocky, we're blasting off.
00:49:56Good work, Vena.
00:50:15I wonder how our passengers are.
00:50:18Rocky Jones, for instance.
00:50:20Griff, traitor, right in headquarters.
00:50:27What are you frowning about, Rocky?
00:50:29You've won. The adventure's about over.
00:50:32That's what you think.
00:50:34Just wait and see.
00:50:51Congratulations for a fine blast-off.
00:50:53Thanks, Rocky.
00:50:54Thank you, sir.
00:50:56I was talking to Winky.
00:50:58Now I'm talking to you, even though you are my commanding officer.
00:51:02Rocky, why don't you get that serious look off your face once in a while?
00:51:06I'll take over, Vena.
00:51:07You'd better go back with Professor Newton and Bobby.
00:51:10They may need some attention. They've had a rough time.
00:51:12Yes, sir.
00:51:13Sir.
00:51:19Ah, the woman's touch.
00:51:21But who's going to say anything against it?
00:51:23Hey, how's the professor, Rocky?
00:51:25Fairly confused at the moment.
00:51:27Keeps saying, why are you taking me away from a fetus?
00:51:30Then he rubs his head and can't understand why he said a thing like that.
00:51:34Gosh, that must have been some powerful treatment he got up there.
00:51:37Yes, he still acts as if his brain had been paralyzed, but he's coming around.
00:51:43Hey.
00:52:01This is weakness, Cleolanta.
00:52:03The ship must be destroyed.
00:52:05Or is it because Rocky Jones is aboard?
00:52:08Your great mistake was in trying to keep him here.
00:52:10I'm going to give the orders to...
00:52:11I give the orders, Dargonto.
00:52:13Not you or anyone.
00:52:15Cleolanta, if they even reach our communication zone, we lose our best ally on Earth.
00:52:19Our own man in their headquarters.
00:52:21You mean Griff?
00:52:22Yes.
00:52:23Rocky knows we have an ally on Earth.
00:52:25But Rocky can't possibly suppose that he is...
00:52:28But he can, Cleolanta. He knows. I...
00:52:32You told him?
00:52:34I was forced to.
00:52:36And you were the strong one.
00:52:38You're a weakling and a traitor.
00:52:40I had no intention of allowing them to go beyond our reach.
00:52:44But neither am I prepared to invite a war just now.
00:52:49In a moment, we'll falsely magnetize their instruments.
00:52:53If the orbit jet crashes into an Ophiuchus moon, it's not our responsibility.
00:53:00That will help correct your mistake.
00:53:03What do you bet they're just pretending to let us get away?
00:53:07Uh-huh.
00:53:09Heads, they blast us. Tails, they don't, huh?
00:53:12The odds aren't that good.
00:53:14If they can't have Professor Newton on their side, they certainly don't want him on ours.
00:53:19Well, it's clear sailing ahead.
00:53:21That is, unless they decide to blast us.
00:53:25If they don't, we'll just have to wait and see.
00:53:28That is, unless they decide to blast us.
00:53:31Is it manual control, Roger?
00:53:33No, we'll go by instruments.
00:53:34Conserve all power for this long hop, Wicker.
00:53:40You know, Wicky, it's hard to understand how a man raised on our Earth
00:53:44could fall in line with the Ophiuchians and become a spy for them against us.
00:53:49You mean we got one of those things crawling around?
00:53:52Yes. And in the Space Ranger's service.
00:53:55What?
00:53:56You must be kidding. Galloping galaxies. I can't believe it. Do you know who it is?
00:54:01Yes. Griff.
00:54:04Griff.
00:54:06Golly.
00:54:08Hey, Griff's at headquarters.
00:54:10That's right.
00:54:12I don't understand it, but looking back, I can believe it.
00:54:16You see, Winky, Griff had a lot of time piled up, including a hop to Ophiuchus.
00:54:20That's when the bug bit him.
00:54:22That's when he fell for their phony philosophy.
00:54:24Yeah, go on.
00:54:26Then he took advantage of all Earth time to ask us for an office assignment,
00:54:30so he could spy for them.
00:54:32Niven, Comets, the guy must have got moon fever.
00:54:34He must be nuts to do a thing like that.
00:54:37Well, it's hard to explain a traitor, Winky, but...
00:54:40Well, his main purpose was to infiltrate the heart of our operations.
00:54:44That explains why the Ophiuchians seemed to know what we were going to do before we did it.
00:54:48Griff tipped them off.
00:54:51Gosh, Rocky, wait till Secretary Drake hears this and realizes it.
00:54:54He's our assistant.
00:54:55Yes, I know.
00:54:58Well, we'd better bring the log up to date and seal it.
00:55:04And so I... I was forced to make my declaration, as I did.
00:55:10Oh, but I hoped you wouldn't believe it, that you'd understand that I was being influenced.
00:55:15Please, Professor, calm yourself. We understand.
00:55:19Rita, please, come forward to make an entry in the log.
00:55:22Yes, sir. Right away, sir. At your service, sir.
00:55:27Don't worry, Professor. I said things just as bad, if not worse.
00:55:32I told Rocky I wanted to go up against him in a space fight, and I was going to lick him.
00:55:38No, you little bobby said that.
00:55:43And also during this mission,
00:55:46D'Arganto, a power in the Ophiuchus formation,
00:55:49admitted under stress that their agent on Earth is Griff.
00:55:54Yes, Mr. Secretary, Griff.
00:55:57The time is now 1535, and we're still within the boundaries of the Ophiuchus formation.
00:56:01You got that?
00:56:04Mr. Secretary,
00:56:05as an integral part of the log of this flight of the XV-2,
00:56:09I wish to make the following entry.
00:56:12I have never had so fine a crew.
00:56:15As an integral part of the log of this flight.
00:56:22Rocky, this includes me.
00:56:25Go on, Peanut, there's more.
00:56:27I wish to make the following entry.
00:56:30I have never had so fine a crew.
00:56:32This includes me.
00:56:34Go on, Peanut, there's more.
00:56:41Sorry, sir.
00:56:43There's only one T in integral.
00:56:51Wait!
00:57:03Southern satellites. That was too close for comfort.
00:57:07So Rocky Jones wasn't going to get beyond our reach, hmm?
00:57:10Silence.
00:57:12I have another plan.
00:57:22You know, Winky,
00:57:24I'm sure glad there's only one T in integral.
00:57:33Hey, listen, Rocky.
00:57:35I'm finally in clear contact with space station RV-5.
00:57:38Now to relay the message to her.
00:57:40Ah, Hopper and Hercules,
00:57:41won't Secretary Drake be glad to hear we have the Professor and Bobby aboard?
00:57:44Yes, he will.
00:57:46But our first report has to be unfavorable.
00:57:49Oh, because Griff might intercept it, huh?
00:57:52Yes. Our first report has to be aimed at Griff, not at Drake.
00:57:56You see, the spaceship we destroyed must have been their communication link
00:57:59between Earth and Ophiuchus.
00:58:00Now, that leaves Griff in the dark. It's the late developments.
00:58:03We've got to keep him that way.
00:58:04Hmm, I getcha.
00:58:05So until we land back at headquarters,
00:58:06it's safer to let Griff think our flight was a failure.
00:58:14The XV-2 calling space station RV-5.
00:58:17Reporting on Operation Haystack.
00:58:20Mission unsuccessful.
00:58:22Unsuccessful?
00:58:24All right, Rocky.
00:58:25I'll relay the message to Drake.
00:58:27Over and out.
00:58:29Man, I guess you can't win all the time.
00:58:32Clark to Secretary Drake.
00:58:34Confidential.
00:58:36Operation Haystack.
00:58:38Come in. Headquarters of Space Affairs.
00:58:41Hold on, Clark. I'll call Secretary Drake.
00:58:50Mr. Secretary.
00:58:51Yes, Griff.
00:58:52Space station RV-5 reporting, sir, on Operation Haystack.
00:58:55Space station RV-5 reporting, sir, on Operation Haystack.
00:58:59So Rocky made it back.
00:59:00Good.
00:59:06Mr. Secretary Drake.
00:59:08Send the message over the scrambler, Clark.
00:59:11Ready here, sir.
00:59:13Proceed, Clark.
00:59:20Mission unsuccessful.
00:59:22Professor Newton and Bobby, without apparent influence,
00:59:25seem sincere and determined in their desire to remain on the alien planet.
00:59:30This is a blow to our country, Griff.
00:59:32A staggering blow to the united worlds of the solar system.
00:59:35Yes, sir.
00:59:36Sorry, I had to send this kind of a message, Mr. Secretary.
00:59:39Over and out.
00:59:51Good morning.
01:00:00Space station RV-5.
01:00:02Space ranger ship XV-2.
01:00:04Come in, XV-2.
01:00:06XV-2 reporting.
01:00:08Pick up by magnetic coupler complete.
01:00:10We'll put you in.
01:00:13Well, how about it, Rocky?
01:00:15You all in one piece this time, or should I alert the pass crew?
01:00:18All in one piece, Clark.
01:00:19See you soon.
01:00:20Out.
01:00:22Ah, the defeated warriors return at home.
01:00:25What a surprise this is going to be.
01:00:30How are we coming, Rocky?
01:00:32Everything super stellar?
01:00:33Super stellar, Bobby.
01:00:35We're in the magnetic field of space station RV-5.
01:00:38Oh, boy. Now to get out and run to 100.
01:00:40Rocky, I'll bet that way up here on the space island...
01:00:43Sorry, Bobby.
01:00:45I know we all want to get out and stretch our legs a bit, but...
01:00:48Right now, Professor Newton,
01:00:49it's best if you and Bobby stay out of sight in the ship.
01:00:52Oh, don't worry about us, Rocky.
01:00:55We'll do our stretching on Earth.
01:00:57Thanks, Professor.
01:00:59Oh, Rocky, don't lose your faith in people.
01:01:02Remember, it's the exception that proves the rule.
01:01:17Yeah!
01:01:34WOA to Griff. Come in, Griff.
01:01:44WOA to Griff. Come in, Griff.
01:01:45Griff to W.O.A.
01:01:47Come in and identify.
01:01:49This is Dark Ganto.
01:01:51Dark Ganto?
01:01:53With everything going as planned, why chance a call at this time?
01:01:56Working as planned?
01:01:58What report have you received on the Rocky Jones flight?
01:02:01Mission unsuccessful. Professor Newton remaining unofficious.
01:02:04That's a lie, Griff. A scheme to trap you.
01:02:07One moment.
01:02:15That's me, Dark Ganto?
01:02:33Yes, you. Rocky has proof of your being our agent on Earth.
01:02:36The professor and the boy are with him in the orbit jet. They've told him.
01:02:39Get me off of here before they get back.
01:02:41Listen, Griff. One man strategically placed for sabotage has greater power than an army.
01:02:46I've done your work, Dark Ganto. Now get me off of here.
01:02:49Use your power, Griff. Wait for the orbit jet to land and then destroy the headquarters of Space Affairs.
01:02:54What about me? Am I so expendable?
01:02:57I didn't say that, but your duty comes first.
01:02:59You may need help, so call in Ramez.
01:03:02The job is important, Griff. You are important. Ramez is expendable.
01:03:08Over and out.
01:03:27A traitor in that uniform.
01:03:30Space Rangers and traitors, they don't go together.
01:04:00Yes, Griff.
01:04:06Ramez, report to headquarters of Space Affairs immediately for special assignment.
01:04:10I'll clear you through the gates.
01:04:13You have a confidential report for Secretary Drake.
01:04:29Secure it from blast-off.
01:04:33Home again. Home again.
01:04:35Jiggity Jupiter. It'll be super stellar when we get back on Earth once more.
01:04:56This is Earth Space Station. We're in free fall. Firing rockets in two seconds.
01:05:09The XV-2 calling Office of Space Affairs. Come in, please.
01:05:14Office of Space Affairs to XV-2. Come in.
01:05:17We're out of Space Station RV-5 and about to start primary breaking ellipse of Earth.
01:05:21Glad to have you back, Rocky. What's your landing time?
01:05:24Approximately 0800.
01:05:26Where's Secretary Drake?
01:05:28He's out of the zone. Any message?
01:05:31No, just hello.
01:05:33See you in the morning, Griff. Out.
01:05:47Drake?
01:05:49Rocky Jones says to say hello.
01:05:51Don't behave yourself. I'm going to need you.
01:05:57Come on.
01:06:18Let's go to the first section.
01:06:49Take her down to the second section while I plant and wire this one.
01:07:17Welcome home, Rocky.
01:07:30XV-2 calling Office of Space Affairs. Come in, please.
01:07:34Office of Space Affairs to the XV-2. Come in.
01:07:37I wonder where Drake is.
01:07:40Completing final breaking ellipse. Landing time now determined 0814. Requesting clearance.
01:07:46We'll be ready for you, Rocky.
01:07:49Out.
01:07:54Landing is 0814. Would you set your timer for 0830?
01:07:57That'll make an error of 16 minutes, which will give us time to blast off.
01:08:00But it won't give Rocky time enough to find it.
01:08:12Come in.
01:08:14You're coming with me, Drake, just in case Rocky has some ideas that don't go along with mine.
01:09:14Stay where you are.
01:09:42I'll go out alone.
01:10:12So you left crew and passengers aboard, eh?
01:10:15Well, that's all right with me.
01:10:22Now, Rocky, switch on blast-off synchronizer.
01:10:25Rocky.
01:10:26Go ahead.
01:10:32Start climbing.
01:10:52Climbers, take charge of the ship.
01:11:08Hold it.
01:11:09Stay right there. Grip will be here to take the ship off.
01:11:27Better be glad you're going along with us. Now move.
01:11:40Grip, don't turn around.
01:11:42Don't make one false move.
01:11:44Toss your weapon over the side.
01:12:11Take her off, Winky.
01:12:13Rocky.
01:12:14Yeah, come on, quick, quick, take her off.
01:12:16Go with the synchronizer.
01:12:17That's an order.
01:12:18Rocky, stop them.
01:12:19Get us aboard.
01:12:20We don't know what you're doing.
01:12:37What am I doing, Grip?
01:12:38I've got the whole headquarters planted.
01:12:40Any minute now, any second, we're going up in smoke.
01:12:42Then you better go pull some switches if you want to live.
01:13:42No Space Ranger's going to put anything over on me.
01:14:41XB-2 to Office of Space Affairs.
01:14:48Come in, Office of Space Affairs.
01:14:53Office of Space Affairs to the XB-2.
01:14:56Come in, Office of Space Affairs.
01:14:58Well, Mr. Secretary, I must say this is quite a twist, my being on the receiving end here.
01:15:03But everything's under control. You can return to base.
01:15:06State landing time. We're all clear for you.
01:15:10Well, come in now, Rocky, and congratulations.
01:15:13Mission successful, thanks to you.
