That way! Go around!

- I've got you, pretty!

- No!

Let go! Stay away from me!

Let go!

Get her!

She's mine!

Stop her!

Move, you animals! Go! Go!

Find her! Find her!

Help me!

Help me!

Somebody help me!

Oh God, help!

She's in there! This way!

She's in here somewhere! Find her!

Get away from me!

It's all right!

It's all right.

Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you.

What are you running from?

I'm running from these...

- ... monsters.

- Easy, easy.

- Creatures.

- I'll take care of it.

Look in there!

Look up that way.

Search over there!

- You! Over there!

- No!

Search in there! Hurry!

Here, take this.

Protect yourself.

She's over here.

This way.

No!

I've waited a long time for this.

My sword!

Pretty!

Retreat! Retreat!

Follow them!

They must have a doorway to Eternia!

Are you all right?

They're gone now. You're safe.

You're safe. Do you understand?

Good.

I know you've been through a great deal,

but I need your help.

Charlie!

Charlie!

Kev, how are you?

Turn that down, turn that down.

Look, wait until you see this.

I heard you were good last night

at Club Zero.

Thanks. We're going to be better tonight.

I want you to take a look at this baby.

All right, here.

What do you think?

I've seen these before.

- You have?

- Yeah.

It's Japanese.

No, no, no.

I don't think so. Here, look.

Press a few of these buttons. Go ahead.

Now press that red button in the front.

Go ahead.

Far out. Fantastic.

You know, I guess if you've seen one,

you've seen them all, right?

Thanks a lot, Charlie. I'll talk to you later.

Come back here. Where'd you get that?

- Do you want to sell it?

- I don't want to sell it.

I found this at Laurelwood.

You would not believe it.

It was like, it was lying in this huge crater.

I was just hoping

you'd know something about it.

I never saw anything like it.

We've got to figure out-

What's that?

D sharp.

Mr. Perfect Pitch.

All hell's breaking loose out there.

Let's see what's up.

All units, Code 6.

Proceed to Central High School.

Fire and vandalism. Pssible arsn.

Repeat:
All units, Cde 6.

Proceed to Central High School.

Fire and vandalism.

Julie's in there.

Our only hope of defeating Skeletor

is to find the Cosmic Key.

Now those creatures were after you

for a reason, Julie.

Have you seen it?

It's this large. It has lights on it.

Wait a minute, I have seen that.

My boyfriend and I found this thing

that had light and music coming out of it.

That's it. Where is it?

Kevin has it.

He's in terrible danger. Let's go.

- Carl, what happened?

- You don't never want to know.

Wait, listen to me. Carl, where is Julie?

What happened to Julie?

- Where you going?

- My girlfriend's in there.

We swept the place.

The only person we found in there

was the janitor.

You don't understand.

I just left her here 10 minutes ago.

We went through there with a police dog.

The only stuff we found in there

was right there.

Dear God, that's Julie's.

Where'd you find this?

Where do you think we found it?

We got vandalism, arson,

we have bad stuff going on around here.

- What do you know about it?

- I don't know anything about it.

You're the cop.

Why aren't you out looking for her?

What does she look like?

Look, she's about 5' 5"...

...she's got short, dark hair,

she was wearing a pink sweater.

Is that all you're going to do,

you're going to write?

Why aren't you out doing something?

I'll do something.

I'll take you for a little ride. Let's go.

- What are you doing, arresting me?

- We're going to go look for your girlfriend.

We'll try her house first.

I bet you know where that is.

Harry, do me a favor.

Take that down to properties,

give me a full report, okay?

Keep the coffee hot.

Looks like it's going to be a long night.

Come on, guys, let's pull it out.

He-Man, they got away.

Easy, Julie.

What happened?

These are friends of mine:

Teela and her father, Duncan.

- Man-At-Arms to Eternian High Command.

- This is Julie.

She knows who has the Key

and wants to help us.

Good.

- Did you have any luck?

- Not as much as you, apparently.

We tracked them spinward, 40 metrons.

And then they disappeared.

They're only a scouting party.

Let's find that Key

before they return in full force.

- Julie, which way?

- This way.

Take arms! Full power!

Ready!

Native transportation.

A primitive land boat.

Enter, enter.

Gwildor.

Well done, Gwildor.

It was an inefficient combustible system,

but I fixed it.

It runs on lucrenos now.

No hydrocarbons needed.

Why is there still resistance?

The people must know that I am Greyskull.

I depend upon you for these things.

You know that.

The people...

...wait for He-Man.

They believe that he will return

to lead them.

For you to rule completely...

...he must be destroyed.

He-Man.

If I kill him, I make him a martyr, a saint.

No, I want him broken.

Where is the Key?

We...

...traced the Key's signal...

...but were unable to take possession of it.

Is that all?

We fought with the Eternians,

but we were outnumbered.

We thought it wise to return alive...

...and gather a larger force.

So, He-Man's free?

You are all aware of the penalty for failure?

Give me one more chance, Lord Skeletor,

and we will succeed!

I am not in the giving vein this day.

Get away!

He begs your forgiveness as do we all.

We live only to serve you.

It would be a pity to waste their talents.

Save your pity for yourself...

...if you fail!

Take them and whatever troops

and resources you need.

I was not suggesting that I go.

Then you should not have spoken.

Leave immediately.

When you find the Key,

send the sourcing signal...

...and an attack force will join you

or I will follow.

Go!

Maybe your girlfriend's here.

The lights are on.

No. They just leave that on

to scare off the burglars.

Let's go see.

Not so fast, kid.

Hello?

Kevin, thank God it's you.

Julie's not here right now.

Kevin, this is Julie. What's going on?

It's good to hear your voice, too,

but I've been really worried about Julie.

Kevin, is someone there? Are you okay?

Yeah. That's what I thought, too.

This is important.

I know you can't talk, just say yes or no.

Do you still have that thing we found?

Thank God.

All right, listen. Don't do anything.

I have so much to explain to you.

Just stay there, we'll be right there.

Stay put, all right?

I love you.

'Bye.

- If you talk to Julie, could you tell her-

- Wait a minute.

This is the police, who is this?

Who is this?

- Who were you talking to?

- It was just a friend of Julie's.

- Say, are you hungry?

- No.

You were talking about this thing,

weren't you?

- What is this thing?

- It's a synthesizer.

- How does this thing work?

- Just press these buttons right here.

- Like this?

- Careful, careful!

Do you want to know something, kid?

I don't think this is any synthesizer.

This is where they ambushed us.

We didn't have a chance.

We'll see. Scanner.

I see only He-Man.

Where are the forces that you spoke of?
