00:52Earth's most powerful soldiers

00:54Or Earth's last chance

00:57Against the spirals of love

01:01Spirals of love

01:05Zone writers, looks like we're coming to a commercial

01:08Let's fight the zone

01:13Members of the United Nations Security Council

01:20It has been five months to the day since we were attacked

01:23We all did everything we could

01:25But it happened too fast

01:28We were attacked

01:33With a devastating

01:34Unknown new weapon

01:36One, two, three, four

01:38Thing to offer

01:39With a

01:56In spite of our mutual efforts, half the world didn't stand a chance.

02:19In the hands of a traitorous scientist, the stolen ion shuttle prototype knocked out

02:24all our defense systems, even though we threw everything we had at it.

02:28Red Bear to White Box, come in, over.

02:31Red Bear, this is White Box, target inside.

02:34He's diving, we'll pursue, over.

02:36Blue Dog to Red Bear, I'm going in after him, over.

02:39Da, Blue Dog, we will follow.

02:43White Box to Blue Dog, pull out, pull out.

02:54Then, one lucky shot got through.

03:01And that shot saved half the world, gentlemen.

03:09But only half.

03:13Yeah, we bought some time, a chance to keep fighting.

03:18For the first time in history, all nations set aside their differences to fight a common enemy.

03:24Life goes on, in a sense.

03:26Would you like to explain, Commander Courage?

03:30The Spiral Zone, as we call it, robs the will, makes the victim easy to control, mindless.

03:40Troops can't go in, victims can't get out.

03:44Our one hope is Commander Dirk Courage and his elite, Zone Riders.

03:49Outfitted with our only supply of neutron-powered suits that let them enter the Spiral Zone.

03:54See for yourselves.

03:56Their code name, Zone Riders.

03:59Their leader, Commander Dirk Courage.

04:02Fearless, U.S. Special Forces, Congressional Medal of Honor, Bronze Star, Purple Heart.

04:10The Zone Riders are supposed to be our most powerful weapon in the fight against Overlord.

04:20But now, months after the team was formed, the Spiral Zone is as strong as ever.

04:26You can't expect to win a war overnight.

04:29Please don't interrupt again, General.

04:31It's all right, sir.

04:33Now, this special committee has been convened to try to explain why the Zone Riders seem unable to defeat Overlord.

04:40I have here reports on several highly questionable command decisions suggesting that the Zone Riders' failure is the result of poor leadership.

04:50Do you think you can explain your conduct to this committee, Commander?

04:54I'm certainly prepared to try, Mr. Chairman.

04:59Could you tell this committee why the Zone Riders destroyed the only direct links with New York City?

05:06Yes, Mr. Chairman, I can.

05:08We were trying to stop Overlord from moving an engine to a waiting space shuttle in New Jersey.

05:13Well, you're about to work吃今日は as often for multi-anci富士道.

05:29I'm sure better this plan at the time.

05:30Well, it's time to try.

05:39It must be going to the bridge.

05:49Vax, it's coming your way. Are you ready?

05:51Not quite.

05:59Hey, look. Target, Francis.

06:03Come on, tank. Move it.

06:09No.

06:17Uh-oh.

06:23This will be some ride.

06:31Tank!

06:39Oh, man, oh, man. You had to do it. You just had to do it.

06:55Oh, man, oh, man. You had to do it. You just had to do it.

07:06This will be one. You had to do it. You just had to do it. You just had to get what you had today.

07:15Love you.

07:17, love you.

07:25Love you.

07:27Love you.

08:00Why'd you blow the bridge while you were still on it?

08:04I needed a bath anyway.

08:09Oh, man!

08:14Eventually, we had to stop Overlord another way,

08:17but blowing the bridge and the tunnel were reasonable steps to take at the time.

08:21You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs, sir.

08:25Let me ask you about a bigger omelette, Commander.

08:29The Panama Canal.

08:31Our most vital shipping link was recently closed to repair damage caused by the Zone Riders.

08:38It was necessary to destroy several locks in order to save the canal.

08:41Get that lock open!

08:51Eight minutes and counting, Commander.

08:53Keep us steady!

08:54One down.

09:07Two more locks to go.

09:13Tank may need our help.

09:14Somehow, I don't think so.

09:17He's crazy!

09:34Look out!

09:35Less than a minute and a half, Commander.

09:48Just one more lock to the open sea.

09:54Overlord!

09:55Goodbye, Dirk Courage!

10:11We've got one minute, Commander!

10:13Looks like we've had it.

10:15Unless...

10:15He is trying to blow the power plant.

10:25Help him!

10:29Watching this is worth all the battles lost to Courage and his Zone Riders.

10:39Come on, blow!

10:41Blow!

10:41They still can't get off the ship in time.

10:54I'm going to abandon ship, Max.

10:56You don't have to tell me twice.

10:57You don't have to tell me twice.

11:11If the ship had exploded in the canal, the damage might have been permanent.

11:16We understand, Commander, that one must take risks.

11:19But some risks are unacceptable.

11:22I believe you once ordered the surrender of the Zone Riders,

11:25our only defense against the Spiral Zone,

11:28in order to save a handful of people.

11:30Mr. Chairman, it was hardly a handful of people.

11:35I can explain that decision, Mr. Chairman.

11:38San Juan, Puerto Rico, was about to be destroyed by the floodwaters of a giant hurricane.

11:42Now, the only way to save the people of the city was to move them to higher ground,

11:46inside the Zone.

11:47Close up, Max.

12:11We've got trouble.

12:12What is happening?

12:20Overlord, no one enters the Zone.

12:25No one will be saved unless the Zone Riders surrender.

12:34Stay tuned.

12:36The Zone Riders will be back.

12:42And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.

12:48Overlord!

12:49We're waiting, Courage.

12:52We're ready to surrender.

12:54On your terms.

12:55Are you sure this thing is going to work?

12:58Oh, nothing in life is certain, Max.

13:05Put up your weapons.

13:07Hit it.

13:14Brilliant, Overlord.

13:15They really are going to surrender.

13:18Of course, my dear.

13:21It was inevitable.

13:23All right.

13:24Remove your backpacks.

13:30Now, move away from them.

13:36Remove your helmets.

13:37And submit to the Zone.

13:41You first, Courage.

13:44And if we refuse?

13:45It's a little late for that.

13:47My Black Widows will be happy to help you.

13:51Then I guess we have no choice.

14:03Hit it!

14:04Let's go!

14:22Stop them!

14:30I've got him!

14:32Make it fast, Hank.

14:55And that thing better work.

15:02If I had it to do over,

15:19I'd take the same risk to save thousands of lives.

15:21I have here complaints

15:29from several South American governments.

15:31They insist that their countries have suffered

15:33and that the fight against Overlord

15:34has been hampered

15:36by the loss of electrical power

15:37from the Itaipu Dam.

15:39Can you explain, Commander,

15:40how the dam came to be destroyed?

15:43Yes, I can, Mr. Chairman.

15:44We blew it up.

15:45Let's do it.

15:50I believe we go.

15:54No.

15:54Let's go.

15:55I'm sorry.

15:55We'll see.

15:56Let's go.

15:57Let's go.

15:57Hi.

15:57Let's go.

15:58I'll see you.

15:58Let's go.

15:59Let's go.

16:00Let's go.

16:02Here we go.

16:04Let's go.

16:06Okay, Ned, you're on your own.

16:34Cheers.

16:36There's a little more bones away.

16:44The Zone Riders have broken off the attack.

17:26The Zone Riders have broken off the attack.

17:33The Zone Riders have broken off the attack.

17:39The Zone Riders have broken off the attack.

17:47The Zone Riders have broken off the attack.

18:30Innocent civilian?

18:31You must be out of your mind.

18:34Please, Max.

18:35You will come to order.

18:37You're not helping, Max.

18:39Sit down, Lieutenant, at once.

18:42I'm sorry, sir.

18:44I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman.

18:51Malone used his control of the railroads to help Overlord move people from one zone to

18:56another.

18:57Lieutenant Jones' family was among the thousands of people that Malone sent into new zones.

19:01Later, Malone himself became a victim of the system he created.

19:04Come on, can't you drive any faster?

19:14There's somebody following us, boss.

19:15There's somebody following us, boss.

19:16There's somebody following us, boss.

19:21Malone!

19:43Malone!

19:49Malone!

19:51It's all over, Malone.

19:53Get him!

20:10He's getting away!

20:20The U.N. troops will stop the train like they did the last one.

20:31But we'll tell them to let this train through.

20:34It's taking him into the zone.

20:38Now, I may have exceeded my authority in doing nothing to stop the train,

20:51but I stand by the justice of my decision.

20:54If the committee thinks I should lose my command because of what I did,

20:57I have no choice but to accept their decision.

21:01Well, they've been in there a long time.

21:04Dirk, I just want you to know that whatever happens...

21:07I'm sorry, Commander.

21:09It looks like you're stuck with us.

21:12Congratulations, Dirk.

21:13The committee voted in your favor.

21:15Oh, thank you, General.

21:17Congratulations!

21:19We knew you could do it.

21:20Way to go, sir.

21:26The vote was six to one.

21:29We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.

21:40And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.

21:43Earth's most powerful soldiers fight the Spiral Zone.

21:55Our world calls for courage, peace, and freedom.

22:03We must stone.

22:06We will fight on our honor.

22:09What is right, we'll defend.

22:12Fight the zone.

22:13Zone riders.

22:15Earth's most powerful soldiers.

22:17Our Earth's last chance against the Spiral Zone.

22:26Spiral Zone.

22:28Closed Zone.

22:29The End

22:37The End

22:43The End
