Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Page #5

Synopsis: In 1987, NASA astronaut William "Buck" Rogers is caught in a freak accident in deep space, causing his space shuttle Ranger 3 to be blown into an orbit that returns him to Earth - over 500 years later. The combination of gases that freezes him comes close to the formula commonly used in the 25th century for preservation, and his rescuers are able to revive him. In 2491, when Buck awakens from the freezing, Earth is recovering from a nuclear war and is coming under hostile attack by the Draconian Empire. In the second season, Buck has been assigned aboard the Searcher, a starship exploring the unknown reaches of space while searching for former Earth colonies that are scattered across the galaxy.
  Won 1 Primetime Emmy. Another 5 nominations.

And you do not even have

an officer's degree.

- Do you have something for the headache?

- You feel bad?

I guess I'm not fully

recovered from my trip.

Why did not you say something?

Twiki will bring you a relaxing one.

Well, it's time to enter.

Let's not wait for the

trade delegation.

Welcome.

The draconian trade delegation...

under the leadership of

his royal highness...

the princess of the kingdom. Ardala.

I bring you greetings on

this historic occasion.

My father, King Draco...

wants to give them their

flagship Draconia...

full of the latest technology.

It symbolizes a new glorious era...

of commerce and peace.

Let the celebration begin.

We brought you some pills, Buck.

For your headache.

It is a very strong relaxant.

Do not take more than one at a time.

Thanks guys.

I see that the dance has

advanced a lot in 500 years.

I will need something else. A rose.

- You said a rose?

- Yes, red.

- What do you need a rose for?

- Twiki, can you bring me a quick one?

Do you like our presentation,

Captain Rogers?

Is awesome.

Did this folkloric dance

come from your dad's world?

Excuse me, but I did not

understand what he said.

And I suggest you use a more

respectful reference than "dad".

Maybe he's the greatest

leader we know.

I'll give you a warning, Colonel.

- Beware of gifts from the Greeks.

- The Greeks?

That was before you were born.

A long time ago.

Tell me, do you know the

history of the Trojan horse?

Do not.

No, huh? Well, forget it.

I guess I'm from a time

that was paranoid.

See you.

- Your rose, Buck.

- How cute. Thanks, Twiki.

Buck, nobody gave flowers

to the princess.

You will make everyone look ridiculous.

Do not separate, friends.

We follow.

Go, Captain Rogers.

Congratulations and thanks.

We are grateful to you for saving

us from those horrible corsairs.

Not so strong. Here they believe

that I am a corsair, thanks to you.

To me? I wish I had not made

him go through much shame.

- Are you angry?

- From...

- The O!

- What a great body.

- From me to you.

- Who is your lovely little friend?

It's called Twiki.

Yes, and that thing hanging

from his neck is Theo...

Member of the Computer Council.

- Your Majesty.

- Do you want to dance with me?

- The princess does not...

- It does not bother me to dance.

I'm not up to date with these steps.

If you have a preference...

It's my party.

Fantastic.

How about something old-fashioned?

Sir, excuse me. Do you know rock?

You know...

Try it, try it Ande.

No, no, that's not it. Just let yourself go. Let

go. Let yourself be carried away by the music.

That's. Right. Yes. That's. Yes.

That makes?

It's called juerguear.

It's old. If you scare her...

Nothing scares me.

Very good. Come stomping.

- It's expressive.

- It's nasty!

- What happens if we crash?

- Automatically we are husband and wife.

Great. A juerguear.

You are a special

man, Captain Rogers.

I think the earthlings

believed his story...

of having been frozen 500 years.

- It is not like this. They think I'm a spy.

- My own?

- They are not sure.

- Do you want to join me?

- Who do I talk to negotiate with?

- With me.

Tell me, is that building still

the communications center?

It is secret information.

Of course.

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

Maybe I'll stay

here permanently.

We hope so.

Your Highness, some ministers

want to talk to you.

- Then, Kane.

- The affairs of the kingdom come first!

His father hopes that it serves

the interests of the kingdom.

If you do not...

He has another 29 daughters who will!

It was a pleasure, Captain

Rogers, but we must do our duty.

Later?

I'll leave on my private

ship at midnight.

I'll be there.

Captain Rogers.

I would like to know if it is

a good time to talk to you.

The princess left suddenly...

and it seems that the party was over.

He has no plans, do he?

- Well...

- Very good.

- There's something I want to say.

- Well I...

I thought he was a

spy, Captain Rogers.

I was wrong.

Do you want to go somewhere else?

I'm not ready for that yet.

I have not done it for a long time.

500 years.

My reintegration should be calm.

Do not worry.

Better listen to it, friend.

It is reasonable.

I asked Captain Rogers

to accompany us.

You're lucky not to fight with me.

We are almost there.

Where are you going?

I know it's cold, but

we have no choice.

We have orders to

stay close to Buck.

And maybe he needs us, so he

goes back to the refrigerator.

Twiki, I'm talking to you.

I freeze the ball bearings.

Captain Rogers does

not appear anywhere.

What did you expect from a primitive?

We will let you know if we

know anything about him.

You're a spy, Buck Rogers...

and I know exactly where you are.

Outside.

They are better pets if you castrate them.

Let's get comfortable.

Serve us something to drink.

At last we are alone.

You will not say anything?

Until this moment I did not

know what I was missing.

I also have to confess something.

Is there a man waiting for you at home?

I had not realized

what I was missing.

You are different. You are arrogant.

You flagrantly ignore the orders.

And you're the kind of man who

could overthrow my father.

Overthrowing your father is

the last thing on my mind.

- I brought you here for a reason.

- I was counting on that.

I want you by my side.

That was not exactly

what I was thinking.

Consider it.

You have no idea what it is to be the

daughter of Draco the Conqueror.

29 sisters on your heels.

Cortesanos snitches like

Kane competing for power.

But with a man...

a true man like you...

I could challenge my father,

I could live my own life.

- Yes?

- A new magnificent dynasty.

Are not you getting ahead of the facts?

Now give me my drink.

- We have to be very careful.

- Oh yeah?

The moment is not the right one.

Things never change.

This has always been the case.

Why did not I meet you

before, Buck Rogers?

We have a lot of time, do not we?

Weapons personnel show up on the

platform to load the weapons.

Look, they're sleeping down there.

The fools will never know what happened.

I am very relaxed.

Can you turn off the lights?

If you are a spy, I will have to kill you.

If those are the things you say

in bed, I found your problem.

This is not good at all, Twiki.

There are soldiers everywhere...

and we do not even know where to

start looking for Captain Rogers.

Caramba!

Let's see if we can find your pajamas.

The pirate ships. This is how they could

attack us. It was his own people.

- Where is the Tiger Man?

- I do not know, sir.

Go away!

Did you wake up, my love?

Did you wake up, baby?

Shoot him!

Outside! Take it out!

Take it out! Execute it!

- No. Take him for questioning.

- Are you giving a counter order?

Under the circumstances, yes.

Obey me.

Take it.

You will have to give me explanations.

Do I have to explain?

Well, it's not a Gucci,

but what does it matter?

I do not want to be caught either.
