He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983) s01e60 Episode Script
Search for the VHO
1 [dramatic music.]
I am Adam, Prince of Eternia and defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.
This is Cringer, my fearless friend.
Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said, "By the power of Grayskull!" [chorus.]
He-Man I have the power! [roaring.]
[He-Man.]
Cringer became the mighty Battle Cat, and I became He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe.
Only three others share this secret: our friends the Sorceress, Man-At-Arms, and Orko.
Together we defend Castle Grayskull from the evil forces of Skeletor.
[cackling.]
[dramatic music.]
[magical music.]
[growling.]
[zapping.]
Be careful, son.
That last laser was a little close.
I know.
The last thing I want to do is hurt one of them, but Uh-oh, they're coming closer.
[zapping.]
[pinging.]
[screeching.]
Our force shield isn't holding over there.
I'll try to reach Man-At-Arms again.
There must be something wrong with this radio.
Man-At-Arms, Man-At-Arms? This is Hovar.
Can you hear me? Father, what happens if if Man-At-Arms doesn't come through for us? Man-At-Arms always comes through, son.
Man-At-Arms, come in, please.
Duncan, Teela, do you hear me? We are in trouble.
We need help.
Hovar, this is Duncan.
We hear you.
We're doing our best.
It's no use.
They don't hear us.
And the situation on Selkie Island is getting worse, Teela.
I'm working as fast as I can.
With their force shield failing, that VHO is the only thing that can save them from, well It's almost ready for testing.
[chorus.]
He-Man [He-Man.]
Ah, isn't this a beautiful day, Orko? Yeah, it sure is, Adam.
Everything's calm and peaceful.
[yawns.]
I can't think of a thing that could ruin a nice day like today.
[zapping.]
[stammering.]
Wh-wh-what's th-th-that? It's coming from the lab.
Let's go.
[Cringer.]
Wait for me! [chorus.]
He-Man That's it, check each level.
[high-pitched pinging.]
Where am I? Yow, my ears.
Teela, what's going on? Hey, Man-At-Arms! Why all the noise? [gasps.]
Adam, you startled me.
You don't have to yell, you know.
I'm sorry, it's just that What are you doing anyway? Not doing.
We've done it.
[zapping.]
Yikes! What's with him? Cringer's an animal just like those wild ones on Selkie Island.
They can't stand the sound.
Oh? What sound? The one you're not hearing.
I don't get it.
It's simple, Orko.
This variable high-frequency oscillator goes up so high, only animals can hear it.
And they don't like what they hear.
They run.
Oh, well, sure, I could have figured that out myself.
Emergency.
ForcefailMan-At If Hovar's force field gives out before Teela can get that VHO there Well, you can see for yourself, Adam.
The animals will take over.
Huh, but why is Teela going? Somebody has to take the responsibility.
Is she taking the Wind Raider? No, landing would be too dangerous.
Then how? She's sailing on the newest, fastest ship in the Eternian Navy.
Oh, boy! I wouldn't mind seeing that ship myself.
Well, then why don't you go along? I mean, you never know when Teela might need the help of He-Man.
[chorus.]
He-Man [lighthearted music.]
[man.]
Stand by to cast off! Anything you want me to do while you're gone? How about keeping an eye on Adam and seeing that he stays out of trouble? Oh, sure, I can do that.
Well, I'd better put this VHO in my cabin.
Bye, Orko.
Bye, Teela.
Have a nice trip.
Prepare to get under way.
You there, look alive.
[engine whirring.]
I wonder what makes it go.
Whoa! Whoa! This ship's really moving.
At this speed, I'll be there in no time.
Adam! What are you doing here? I, uh, uhI guess I didn't want to miss all the fun.
Hmm.
Well, now I have you to worry about.
[Mer-Man.]
At last, the oscillator is on its way.
Once I have it, I'll be able to control every animal in Eternia.
[laughs.]
Even Beast Man and perhaps Skeletor himself.
[laughs.]
[chorus.]
He-Man I can't believe how fast we're going.
[crash.]
What was that? Hmm, it feels as if we hit something.
[gasps.]
Look! - Oh, no! - [Teela.]
What is it? [screeching.]
[He-Man.]
Kraken, the biggest sea monster on Eternia.
The ship will be crushed if we don't do something.
[panicked yelling.]
[screeching and growling.]
[dramatic music.]
This is getting a little too crowded for me.
[Kraken screeching.]
By the power of Grayskull! [chorus.]
He-Man [chorus.]
He-Man He-Man I have the power! [screeching.]
Now to see what I can do with it.
Didn't anyone ever tell you it's not polite to grab? That Kraken is sinking the ship.
[chorus.]
He-Man [water splashes.]
He-Man [man.]
Come on! Over here! - No, over here! Come on! - Get over here! Come on! - Over here! Let's go! - Let's go! Come on! Those sailors are safe, but I don't see Teela.
Teela, where are you? [chorus.]
He-Man I must find her.
If Teela's trapped in there, maybe she's found an air pocket.
[chorus.]
He-Man [He-Man.]
The VHO's gone.
Razorfins.
They can eat their way through anything.
[roaring.]
They're still with me.
[roaring.]
[roaring.]
[device beeping.]
That wasn't a real fish.
It was a it was a robot.
I wonder what's next.
This must be a homing device.
If I follow the signal, maybe I'll find Teela and a lot more.
It's coming from that direction and a long way off.
[chorus.]
He-Man [ominous music.]
[computer beeping.]
[static crackling.]
The force field shield is weak, but it is holding for now.
Father, this is the last laser, and it's almost out of power.
I-I'm beginning to wish we never came here.
Son, when King Randor appointed me royal historian, it was a great honor, and it was my job to come here.
I know, but these old ruins, they're nothing but a pile of junk.
Perhaps to some, but once, this was a beautiful city.
Don't you want to find out who lived here, what happened to them? I guess.
I mean, I want to learn, and someday I want to be, well, just like you, Father, but But right now, you're well, we're both a little frightened.
Is that it? Help will come, Justin.
We must believe that.
When we believe, anything is possible.
[computer beeping.]
[roars.]
[Hovar.]
Hello, anybody.
This is Hovar on the island of Selkie.
Can you hear me? We are in trouble, deep trouble.
[warbling tone.]
[dramatic music.]
Oops, lost it.
[device beeping.]
Boy, it's pretty dark in here.
[explosion.]
[Mer-Man.]
Is that any better, He-Man? [He-Man.]
Mer-Man! I should have known.
You don't seem happy to see me.
And why don't you say hello to your friend? [He-Man.]
Teela! [Mer-Man.]
Well [laughs wickedly.]
why don't you help her? Stop! [zapping.]
[screeching.]
The Kraken.
[Mer-Man laughing wickedly.]
[screeching.]
[gasps.]
[screeching.]
[screeching.]
No! No! Stop! [wailing.]
How about a friendly little contest with the winner getting to keep Teela? Why not? [laughs.]
How can I lose? [He-Man.]
Then have at it.
Nice try.
Now how about this? No! Yes.
Now I'll just take Teela and get out of here.
Sorry I took so long.
He's gone after the Kraken.
[He-Man.]
Then we better get crackin'.
[screeching.]
[Mer-Man.]
I've got you now, He-Man! Both of you! [screeches.]
[screeches.]
[screeching.]
Is that what you were looking for? Thanks.
Now get back.
[zapping.]
[screeching.]
[screeching.]
[Mer-Man gurgling angrily.]
And now for a little Kraken throw.
[Mer-Man.]
Yow! Well, that takes care of Mer-Man, but I dropped the VHO.
Don't worry.
I'll get it.
He-Man, hey, you can come back up now, okay? He-Man? - Help! - Adam? Teela.
Wow, am I glad to see you.
But I thought I mean Where did you get that? Huh? Oh, you mean this? Well, uh, He-Man gave it to me.
Say, can we go ashore? I mean, all this swimming, I'm really bushed.
[chorus.]
He-Man [ominous music.]
[Hovar.]
That's it.
We have no more force shield.
- [clicking.]
- And no more lasers.
[snarls.]
They'rethey're coming.
Stay close to me, son.
[zapping.]
[growling.]
[triumphant music.]
[Justin.]
Father, it's Teela.
[Hovar.]
Andand Adam.
Oh, thank goodness.
[growling.]
[He-Man.]
Whew, sounds like we got here just in time.
Sounds? Hmm, that's funny.
I don't hear anything.
[chorus.]
He-Man [warbling.]
[He-Man.]
The VHO's working perfectly, Hovar.
And you'll both be safe from now on.
That's great.
Now we can really get back to work.
I mean, these old ruins were once a beautiful city, you know.
We've got to find out who lived here and what happened to them, right, Father? That's right, son.
I'm gonna get started right now.
[regal music.]
Well, you two, I'd say that was a job well done.
Thanks to He-Man.
He saved me from the Kraken and Mer-Man.
[He-Man.]
And he also saved the VHO.
- I thought you did.
- Huh? Oh, wellwell, I mean well, out there, that big ocean, all that water.
[chuckles.]
W-water? Ocean? I'm glad I stayed home this time.
Hovar and Justin certainly had a narrow escape, didn't they? But when one is an explorer or a scientist like Hovar, wild animals are only one of the many dangers you face.
And yet throughout the course of history, there have been brave men and heroic women ready and eager to be the first to face the unknown, to challenge its dangers so that others might follow without fear.
It is to these unsung heroes that we owe so much.
See you soon with another exciting adventure.
