Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Page #4

Since its promulgation

means its downfall.

The State finished presenting its case.

Now we will hear the defense.

Dr. Theopolis.

Distinguished colleagues,

you heard the evidence...

and I challenge you to

find this man guilty.

There is no evidence to indicate

that he was born on this planet...

because we all know very well...

that there are no records

prior to the great holocaust.

He can not explain how the

transmitter came to his ship...

because it is not his work.

He is an innocent pawn in a great war.

I tell you, colleagues, if

you find this man guilty...

You must find me guilty.

My sensors tell me

that this man is good.

The defense finished presenting its case.

Thank you.

Captain Rogers, do you have any last

words before we give the ruling?

I'm just an innocent pawn, a

puppet, whatever they call me.

It was another who manipulated me.

They should worry less about

me and more about them.

Because I can not harm them anymore

no matter what the result is today.

But he or she...

I could destroy them.

Very good, Buck.

We do not have to worry.

Unanimously, the Council

rules in favor of the State.

Captain Rogers, the

Council finds you guilty.

Your life will end.

The execution will be

carried out immediately.

The session is over.

I can not believe it.

Will not say anything?

- Do not.

- That's ridiculous.

He was sentenced to death.

At the very least, he would think that

a man of his type would be furious...

that would attack me verbally,

that I would say something.

Goodbye?

Buck, enough.

It is being unreasonable.

Am I being unreasonable?

It is almost as if he believed that

the sentence will not be carried out.

I do not think there is anyone

here who carries out the sentence.

I know that you will not be in charge.

He still clings to his story

that the Draconia is armed.

I can prove it.

What would you say if I said...

I came to give you that opportunity?

How?

We will go to the Draconia

flagship to verify its history...

that they found it.

And will they investigate

while they are there?

Exact.

No no. I...

I do not like that plan.

- It worries me.

- Why?

Well, you see, my

execution is scheduled.

If I do not show up,

I'll get in trouble.

You are impossible. Do I offer his

life and he answers me with jokes?

That's what it means.

Does it offer to end my

execution or just postpone it?

If he shows that his story is real...

Walking.

Stay close to my ship.

The maneuvers will be simple.

Stay on automatic pilot.

It will only control the acceleration.

Thanks, colonel.

Can I look out the window?

This is no time for

frivolities, Captain.

The pirates destroyed a

third of our ships here.

When they attack, they attack fast.

It can not beat the computer.

It will take evasive measures

to evade its missiles.

If you try to fly, it

will only cost one ship.

I appreciate your concern.

I wish I had brought a book.

I have a goal in vector 401.

Aware, Colonel.

I see the target to port.

If you see it at this distance...

It must be giant.

Permit to board? Why?

He is a special envoy.

That's all I know.

This does not conform to the protocol.

- What do you think they're up to?

- I don't know.

But they warned us in advance.

And there will be nothing that betrays us.

I would like to know what they are up to.

Let's prepare them a

very special welcome.

Send our pirate ships.

And prepare a surprise for them.

Welcome aboard the

Draconia flagship...

sent from Draco,

conqueror of space...

leader of Astrium, ruler

of the draconian kingdom.

I present your daughter,

Princess Ardala.

Haunted.

This is an unexpected pleasure.

We can hardly receive

them properly.

Your time is an adequate reception.

I am Col. Deering, commander of the

3rd Terrestrial Council Force.

And I think you already

know Captain Rogers.

No. If I had met a young

and dashing captain...

I would surely remember it vividly.

I do not think we had the pleasure.

I think he's wrong, princess.

I never forget a knuckle.

- Captain.

- We want to get to the bottom of the matter.

Do I describe some of

the interior cameras?

What interior cameras are you referring to?

I do not find it memorable,

but I will never forget it.

I especially liked the

high neck dress and...

Colonel Deering, what's wrong?

Why you came?

Pirates are in this sector.

We came to make sure

they arrived safely.

Alert! Alert! Alert!

Hostile ships attack the Draconia.

And Captain Rogers...

All staff to their

defense posts.

- Men, to your ships!

- Alert to all posts!

This is how they offer us protection.

Go escort.

At least we will die together.

Clear launch channels to attack.

Alert!! Alert!

Care, greater. It is behind you.

Climb, I'll intercept it.

Not there! He goes to his sight!

Captain Rogers, I ordered

you not to interfere.

Colonel, you need all

the help available.

- Bandit at 12.00, up.

- At 12.00 what?

Lieutenant Wrather, ignore it.

Captain Rogers, shut up.

Computers are superior to you.

If your computers do not

do something fast...

they're going to eliminate

their lieutenant Wrather.

Be careful, Thornberry!

Colonel, you must change to manual flight.

If it does not stop

distracting our pilots...

Help the lieutenant.

There are a couple of pirates behind you.

I'll change to manual, Colonel.

Let's see if I can share

what we have been receiving.

Buck Rogers, I order

him to return to base.

Now let's see if they like to send

the defensive load to the old one.

I destroyed one. Six are missing.

I gave you!

- Lower and turn on the rear propellers!

- I can not!

It goes against the principles

of modern air combat.

That is called sending the

load with the linebackers.

I do not know what happened

to the combat computers...

but thanks.

Now, captain, let's go home.

- Mine or yours?

- What?

- What did he say?

- Just kidding.

Air control 1 access.

1-0 Runner Able cleared

for approaching ship.

Confirmed. Open exterior

barriers for approach...

in the 1-0 Able corridor

for the approaching ship.

Colonel Deering, have you

seen Captain Rogers?

Yes because?

The Council received a request

from Princess Ardala.

What does that have to do with the captain?

She thinks that he only saved...

to his unarmed ship of

the renegade pirates...

and he wants to thank you personally.

He alone?

Apparently, they almost

destroy your ship too.

If it was not for Captain

Rogers' ability...

and his quick reaction,

the princess thinks...

I do not care about the opinion of the

princess. I know what happened. I was there.

Tomorrow I will conquer Earth.

Tomorrow we will conquer

the Earth, your highness.

You look great, Buck.

Something bothers you?

Why did you invite me to this?

Nobody believes me.

Princess Ardala wants to thank you for

protecting her ship from pirates.

I would also like to tell you something...

In private.

I'm sure they will not allow it.

After all, you're just a captain.
