00:00:26THE END

00:00:56Let's take a look, huh?

00:01:21We've logged millions of miles this trip, and that calls for time off.

00:01:26XB-2 calling Office of Space Affairs. Come in, please.

00:01:29This is the XB-2 calling Office of Space Affairs. Come in.

00:01:33Come in, XB-2. State celestial position.

00:01:35This is Rocky Jones of the Space Rangers reporting.

00:01:38Celestial meridian, 58 degrees, parallel 146 degrees.

00:01:43We're now in second breaking ellipse of Earth, requesting landing clearance at approximately 1600.

00:01:48You're dead center on Baker Flight Path, Rocky.

00:01:50Ride her in. We're all clear and waiting for you.

00:01:52Well, hold it. Here's Secretary Drake, sir.

00:01:56Welcome home, Rocky.

00:01:58Thank you, sir. I'm certainly glad to be back.

00:02:00Was it a rough trip?

00:02:02More or less routine, sir.

00:02:04Uh, much more more than less less, Mr. Secretary. Believe me.

00:02:08I can believe you, Winky.

00:02:11Come in the office when you land, boys. I'll have your leave papers ready.

00:02:15Oh, thank you, Mr. Secretary.

00:02:18Thank you, sir. Out.

00:02:21Alert to ground crew. Alert to ground crew.

00:02:25Now learn this.

00:02:26XB-2 on Baker Flight Path, now at 85,000.

00:02:34Prepare for landing.

00:02:35XB-2 on Baker Flight Path, now at 85,000.

00:02:37Prepare for landing.

00:02:39Pardon me, sir, but a car just drove through number three gate without stopping for identification.

00:03:07Okay, Locker up in the barn, boys.

00:03:24Hey, what about the seashore, Rocky?

00:03:27I know a place called Paradise Isle.

00:03:30Bombing nights and soft music.

00:03:33Under a big tropical moon.

00:03:34White sands washed by an emerald sea.

00:03:39How's it sound?

00:03:40Let's see what Drake has to say about that, huh?

00:03:42But he's already said it. Leave papers.

00:03:46Look out, Winky.

00:03:52Hey, you know something? It's safer up there.

00:04:00But, uh, who wants to be up there?

00:04:02Come on, Skipper.

00:04:05Do you know you're a trespasser?

00:04:07On any foot of that mountain road, you could have been destroyed.

00:04:10Yes, yes, Mr. Secretary, but I had to take the chance.

00:04:12What's your name?

00:04:13Vena Ray.

00:04:14And your reason for being here?

00:04:16Professor Newton.

00:04:17I have no interest in anything that concerns the professor.

00:04:19I know.

00:04:20I know.

00:04:21You believe he's a traitor to the United Worlds of the solar system.

00:04:23Yes.

00:04:24His own words prove it.

00:04:26But, Mr. Secretary, during our exchange of scientists with the officious group, I was an interpreter.

00:04:32When the rest of us left, I shook hands with the professor.

00:04:35His eyes tried to tell me something.

00:04:38He gave me this.

00:04:39To Professor Newton from Secretary Drake, with profound gratitude and eternal friendship.

00:04:48But, Mr. Secretary, why did he leave the medal in my hand?

00:04:51He must have wanted me to bring it to you.

00:04:52I don't know.

00:04:54Professor Newton recorded his decision on film.

00:04:56The officious left it at our outpost on Sassinus.

00:04:59To be delivered to me, it is proof positive.

00:05:03Griff, project the Newton declaration.

00:05:06Yes, sir.

00:05:09One moment, please.

00:05:12Mission complete and job well done, boys.

00:05:14Congratulations.

00:05:15Thank you, sir.

00:05:16Thank you, sir.

00:05:16And now I have new orders.

00:05:20Here are your leave papers.

00:05:22Relax.

00:05:23Stretch out and watch the stars as something beautiful and mysterious.

00:05:27Not as places you've been to make friends or to fight our enemies.

00:05:31Report back on the 20th.

00:05:33Hey, Rocky, two months leave.

00:05:35How about that?

00:05:36Ready with the Newton declaration, Mr. Secretary.

00:05:39Thank you, Griff.

00:05:40Enjoy your time off, boys.

00:05:42You've earned it.

00:05:43Thank you, sir.

00:05:44Come on, Skipper.

00:05:45Let's not waste a second of that two months.

00:05:48Paradise Island, here we come.

00:05:49Wait a minute, Winky.

00:05:50As long as we're here, let's see the Newton declaration, too, huh?

00:05:58When ready, Griff.

00:05:59Mind if we join you, Mr. Secretary?

00:06:04Please do, Rocky.

00:06:05Secretary Drake, may I first say this?

00:06:19The decision to remain on Ophicius is mine and mine alone.

00:06:25I have been influenced by neither word nor act.

00:06:30These people are my friends.

00:06:35Perhaps, thinking singularly, I would not have made such a drastic move and severed the ties of a lifetime.

00:06:44But I must consider my young ward, Bobby.

00:06:50A long life stands before him.

00:06:55And not through heritage, but by my choice, he can now share in the triumph and the glory of Ophicius.

00:07:05Come here, Bobby.

00:07:10Newton wanted Bobby to become a space ranger.

00:07:12He said it a thousand.

00:07:13Shh.

00:07:18Mr. Secretary, you've heard my wish, my declaration.

00:07:25Now, Bobby, say goodbye to our friends.

00:07:29Goodbye, Mr. Secretary.

00:07:30And please, sir, say hello to Rocky Jones, Twinkie, and to the rest of the space rangers.

00:07:39A detailed letter made his breach complete.

00:07:42He surrendered all his property, even the Newton Observatory.

00:07:45I'm sorry, sir, but I just can't believe it.

00:07:47Professor Newton was either drugged or forced to make that declaration by a threat on Bobby's life.

00:07:51That's true, Mr. Secretary.

00:07:53He's their prisoner.

00:07:54With your permission, sir, I'd like to find out.

00:07:57Hey, Rocky.

00:08:01Oh, well.

00:08:02Another day, another moon, maybe.

00:08:07Ophicius.

00:08:08As you know, Rocky, they asked us to close our embassy.

00:08:11You won't be welcome either.

00:08:12Yes, I understand, sir.

00:08:14But it could happen that we were lost in space and forced to land, couldn't it?

00:08:18I'm sure they're not prepared to invite open warfare by imprisoning a couple of space rangers.

00:08:22Yeah, but they will be soon with Professor Newton on their side, huh, Rocky?

00:08:25It's a gamble.

00:08:27But worth the chance, sir.

00:08:44Griff to W.O.X.

00:08:49Griff to W.O.X.

00:08:51Come in.

00:08:52W.O.X. to Griff.

00:08:54Come in, Griff.

00:08:54Beam urgent message to Ophicius.

00:08:57Drake now believes Professor Newton prisoner.

00:09:00Rocky Jones may attempt rescue flight.

00:09:02We'll get it through, Griff.

00:09:04Any further orders?

00:09:05Stand by.

00:09:07If rescue flight is attempted by Rocky Jones, we'll inform you of blast-off time in refuel station.

00:09:13We're to destroy his orbit jet before it reaches your zone.

00:09:16And the blame placed on you.

00:09:18Out.

00:09:21This is the curtain which separates our League of Planets from the Ophicius group.

00:09:25From that point on, they are able to jam our met...

00:09:27If you pass that point, you'll be without a communication link.

00:09:30You'll be on your own, Rocky.

00:09:31It'll be dangerous.

00:09:33I understand, sir.

00:09:34We'll make it, though.

00:09:36Now, where will our refuel station be?

00:09:39That's up to you.

00:09:40May I suggest Space Station RV-5?

00:09:43That's stretching the first hop, and there's very little traffic there.

00:09:45Right.

00:09:46And in the interest of secrecy, I'll declare the area out of bounds, except a commercial craft.

00:09:50Now, for your crew.

00:09:53Well, so that those on the other planet can't claim invasion, Winky and I should go it alone.

00:09:57We'll disable our ship, land, search for Professor Newton and Bobby, and try to bring them back with us.

00:10:02Please, Mr. Secretary.

00:10:06Can't I go?

00:10:07It's out of the question.

00:10:09Why?

00:10:09Would that make it an invasion?

00:10:11No.

00:10:12But it's not a picnic, either.

00:10:13I don't like picnics.

00:10:15What I mean is, a flight like this is no place for a girl.

00:10:19I'm not a girl.

00:10:20I mean, yes, I am, but I'm not a girl in the way you mean I'm a girl.

00:10:23I'll take care of myself, Rocky Jones.

00:10:26I can be a real help to you.

00:10:28Please, Mr. Secretary, I know these people.

00:10:30I speak their language, and I know their country.

00:10:32And for your information, Mr. Rocky Jones, I'm also licensed as a navigator.

00:10:38Mr. Ray would be extremely valuable as an interpreter.

00:10:41We mustn't pass up any chance to make the mission a success.

00:10:45Planetary conditions will be ideal at 0-230.

00:10:48If you'll state my crew, sir, I'll prepare for blastoff.

00:10:51Winky will go, and Vena Ray will be signed on as auxiliary space ranger.

00:10:57Very good, sir.

00:10:58Ranger Ray, prepare to stand inspection at 0-200.

00:11:02Very good, sir.

00:11:17Take positions on platform.

00:11:24Do your best to bring back Professor Newton.

00:11:26But please, Rocky, no unnecessary chances.

00:11:29Yes, sir, I understand, sir.

00:11:30We wouldn't dare because we have a girl board.

00:11:33It isn't that.

00:11:34We don't want to lose any of you, any more than Professor Newton and Bobby.

00:11:38I'm sorry, sir.

00:11:41Move in, boarding platform.

00:11:49Switch on, blastoff synchronizer.

00:11:51I'm sorry, sir.

00:12:21Griff to W-O-X.

00:12:24Griff to W-O-X.

00:12:26Come in.

00:12:27W-O-X to Griff.

00:12:29Come in, Griff.

00:12:30Rocky Jones blasting off at 0-230.

00:12:33Refused space station is RV-5.

00:12:35Area declared out of bounds,

00:12:37making it ideal for attack without interference.

00:12:40We'll be waiting for him, Griff.

00:12:42Over.

00:12:51Secure for blastoff, Vena.

00:13:00They turn off that noise.

00:13:02Gives me the creeps.

00:13:04Say, you've been aboard a spaceship before?

00:13:06Sure, on an interplanetary express.

00:13:08It's about as exciting as a streetcar.

00:13:12The Orbit jet is different.

00:13:14Believe me.

00:13:15Well, that noise is our blastoff synchronizer,

00:13:18and when those two sounds get together,

00:13:20we'll be up there.

00:13:22Really?

00:13:22Uh-huh.

00:13:23Uh, there's your navigating table, Navigator.

00:13:25Have fun.

00:13:26Before this trip is over,

00:13:27you two will be mighty glad I came along.

00:13:38How's the new crew member?

00:13:39Our glamour girl, Navigator.

00:13:41Heh.

00:13:42Not a thing to worry about, Rock.

00:13:43I hate to admit it,

00:13:44but she sure knows her stuff.

00:13:50All right, you ready, Winky?

00:13:51Ready, sir.

00:13:56All right, you ready, Winky?

00:14:26Winky, you know I've never questioned an order from Drake before,

00:14:45but I just can't see where it helps having a girl board

00:14:48on a dangerous mission like this.

00:14:49Well, she speaks your Ephesians language, Rocky,

00:14:52and that's what we'll need if we make a successful landing there.

00:14:55I'd rather have an extra pair of fists.

00:14:57Anybody understands that language?

00:14:59Aw, give her a break, Rocky.

00:15:00She's a good kid.

00:15:03Oh, we're entering the exosphere.

00:15:05Switch on artificial gravity.

00:15:06Artificial gravity, sir.

00:15:09Go over to work grabbing Gertie,

00:15:11and don't lose your grip.

00:15:15Correct drift point one by point four.

00:15:17One by four, sir.

00:15:18Pardon, sir, but we've entered the exosphere.

00:15:43Oh, really?

00:15:45And may I suggest a drift correction?

00:15:48Point one by point four.

00:15:50Good charting, Gina.

00:15:51Thanks, Winky.

00:15:54Awaiting orders, sir.

00:15:56You're a little late.

00:15:57What should I do, sir?

00:16:00Return to quarters,

00:16:01and, uh,

00:16:03knit me a sweater.

00:16:05Sorry, sir.

00:16:06I don't know how to knit.

00:16:08But if I did,

00:16:08I'd make you a muffler,

00:16:10and maybe tie it real tight

00:16:11around your neck.

00:16:17Sir!

00:16:18Tina, I used to do this.

00:16:37Knit one,

00:16:38purl two.

00:16:38Rocky,

00:16:55I'm, sir,

00:16:56an object is approaching

00:16:57from two o'clock.

00:16:58Oh?

00:16:59Are you positive,

00:16:59or is this merely

00:17:00a woman's intuition?

00:17:01I said,

00:17:02and I repeat,

00:17:03there's an object approaching

00:17:04this very rapidly.

00:17:05She was right before Rocky.

00:17:08Quick, Winky.

00:17:16Get the drink on Astrofone.

00:17:17Yes, sir.

00:17:18What can I do, Rocky?

00:17:19Nothing.

00:17:19Just stay out of the way.

00:17:21XV2 calling

00:17:22Officer Space Affairs.

00:17:23Come in,

00:17:24Officer Space Affairs.

00:17:28XV2 calling

00:17:29Officer Space Affairs.

00:17:30Come in,

00:17:30Officer Space Affairs.

00:17:31Acknowledge, please,

00:17:32we're under attack.

00:17:33Enemy unknown.

00:17:35XV2 calling

00:17:36Officer Space Affairs.

00:17:37Come in,

00:17:38Officer Space Affairs.

00:17:38We're under attack.

00:17:40Mayday.

00:17:41Mayday.

00:17:42Mayday.

00:17:44Full channel, Rocky.

00:17:48All right,

00:17:49we'll make a fight of it.

00:17:50Prepare to return fire.

00:17:51Aye, aye, sir.

00:17:52Please, Rocky,

00:17:53what can I do?

00:17:54Securing your blast chair.

00:17:55But I...

00:17:55That's an order,

00:17:56and stay there.

00:17:56We took a hit aft, sir.

00:18:18We took a hit aft, sir.

00:18:22I can't nail him,

00:18:26if you don't hold course.

00:18:36Ready, Winky?

00:18:37Ready, sir.

00:18:38Coaching target.

00:18:40Steady.

00:18:41Steady, sir.

00:18:43On it, Winky.

00:18:45Fireworks.

00:18:51Well,

00:18:52it takes care of that

00:18:53more of it was.

00:18:57Level off for freefall,

00:18:58thank you,

00:18:58while I check the data.

00:18:59Aye, aye, sir.

00:19:04You all right, Peter?

00:19:05Yes,

00:19:05but what happened,

00:19:06Rocky?

00:19:06What is it?

00:19:36Rocky!

00:19:50C-section?

00:19:51Guess we were lucky at that.

00:19:52Yeah,

00:19:53I had to seal it off

00:19:53for receptive oxygen.

00:19:57Rocky!

00:19:59Winky!

00:20:06If our luck holds on,

00:20:10we can limp

00:20:10into the space station.

00:20:12Hey,

00:20:13call Vena forward.

00:20:15Let's see how she likes

00:20:16being a space ranger now.

00:20:21Hey, Vena,

00:20:22Rocky says you should...

00:20:24Vena!

00:20:27Vena!

00:20:32Vena!

00:20:34Rocky!

00:20:34What is it?

00:20:36It's Vena,

00:20:37she's sealed in.

00:20:38What?

00:20:40Hope we're not too late.

00:20:44The door's changed,

00:20:45Winky.

00:20:45I'll have to cut it open.

00:20:47Prepare for shock therapy.

00:20:48Set up the regeneration unit.

00:20:49And, Winky,

00:20:50get out the oxygen helmets.

00:20:51Once I cut through,

00:20:51the ship will be dry of air.

00:20:52Hurry!

00:20:52Aye, aye, sir.

00:21:04All right.

00:21:59Take charge, Winky.

00:22:23I think she'll be all right.

00:22:24She helped save our lives.

00:22:25We've got to save hers.

00:22:27I'll get us to the space station as soon as possible.

00:22:29I'll get us to the space station.

00:22:59I'll get us to the space station RV-5.

00:23:00Come in, RV-5.

00:23:01This is the XV-2 calling space station RV-5.

00:23:05Come in, RV-5.

00:23:06RV-5 to XV-2.

00:23:10Glad to hear from you.

00:23:12Rocky, this is Space Ranger Clark.

00:23:14Why am I glad to see you?

00:23:16I've got a crippled ship.

00:23:18If you were landed more than one piece, I'd certainly be surprised.

00:23:22Hold on.

00:23:23I'll see the magnetic cover will pick you up.

00:23:25We've got you, Rocky.

00:23:26Relax and we'll pull you in.

00:23:27Thanks, Clark.

00:23:28Thanks, Clark.

00:23:29Out.

00:23:30Oh, Venus.

00:23:31Oh, Venus.

00:23:32Gee, I'm glad to see you up and around.

00:23:33Gee, I'm glad to see you up and around.

00:23:34Thanks, Clark.

00:23:35Out.

00:23:36Oh, Venus.

00:23:37Gee, I'm glad to see you up and around.

00:23:38Thank you, sir.

00:23:52I'm sorry I caused so much trouble.

00:23:57Oh, that's all right.

00:24:00Gee, I'm glad to see you up and around.

00:24:02Thank you, sir.

00:24:03I'm sorry I caused so much trouble.

00:24:05trouble. Oh, that's all right. Could happen to anyone. Thank you, sir. And I'm going to make

00:24:11up for it and prove that I can be it. Well, that a girl can be, isn't it? Tina. Yes, sir? I've been

00:24:18thinking it over. There's an express that stops at the space station and, well, it might be best

00:24:25to... If I were on it? Yes, Tina. You see, what's happened so far could be called routine for a

00:24:32space ranger, so it's really no place for... Well, what I mean is it's best if you go

00:24:38back to Earth. Say it. It's no place for a girl. Now, listen to me, Rocky Jones. In the

00:24:44first place, I was the one who spotted the enemy ship. Remember? Now, look, Tina, don't... Go ahead.

00:24:49Be the referee. Don't count me out. I can say what I think about you in 37 different

00:24:54languages. I'll start with the Martians. You're nothing but a big vowel back. I'll

00:24:59connect you. They call you around. And in conclusion, Rocky Jones, I meant every single word I said.

00:25:21Uh, you'll never get her on that express to Earth, Rocky. And, you know, I've got a feeling

00:25:30that she's going to come in mighty handy when we make that forced landing on Ophicius.

00:25:34Go for it.

00:25:48Come on, Rocky.

00:25:53Go for it.

00:25:55Daddy!

00:25:59Hey!

00:26:01Space Station RV-5 to Earth Headquarters, Office of Space Affairs.

00:26:09Station RV-5 to Earth Headquarters, Office of Space Affairs.

00:26:14Secretary Drake speaking. Come in, RV-5.

00:26:17This is Clark, Mr. Secretary.

00:26:19I am ready with report on flight codename Haystack.

00:26:22Anxious to have it, Clark. Send it over to the Scrambler.

00:26:29Ready here, sir.

00:26:31Proceed, Clark.

00:26:48A late report on Rocky Jones' mission to Ophiuchus.

00:26:53That's it, sir.

00:26:55Thanks, Clark. Over and out.

00:26:56Let's go.

00:27:00Damage to orbit jet repaired on Space Station.

00:27:03Area thoroughly searched, but no trace of attacking ship nor clue to identity.

00:27:06Who did it, sir? Any idea?

00:27:08Griff, I'd give our claim to Aquarius to find out who it was.

00:27:11A tough order, sir.

00:27:12A sudden attack out of space by an unidentified ship?

00:27:15Could it be space pirates, sir?

00:27:17The blast-off from Space Island was successful at 0814.

00:27:22Rocky Jones, Winky, and Vena Ray aboard.

00:27:26In daily communication, Rocky Jones reports flight without incident.

00:27:30Yesterday's message gobbled and now out of contact.

00:27:33Must assume that Rocky is through the curtain and flying in the Ophiuchus formation.

00:27:37Winky, we've just entered the Ophiuchus formation.

00:27:55They should be spotting us any minute.

00:27:57Well, then we'd better be on the alert, Rocky.

00:28:00Right you are, Winky.

00:28:01Winky.

00:28:07Winky.

00:28:37Winky.

00:28:42Bobby!

00:28:43Oh, my goodness.

00:28:46Professor Newden.

00:28:47Yes?

00:28:48The results of your experiment?

00:28:50Well, I haven't got them yet.

00:28:53Why not?

00:28:54You've had more than enough time.

00:28:56Yes, I know, but, uh, uh, activating chemicals and alloys,

00:29:01it's a long and tedious task.

00:29:03Oh, it's like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

00:29:08But don't worry, Doug.

00:29:10I'm not one to give up.

00:29:12Professor Newton, you're using the same formula as on Earth?

00:29:16Exactly.

00:29:17Oh, but tomorrow...

00:29:19Tomorrow...

00:29:19And the same material.

00:29:21You were tested, Professor Newton, and I find you won't cooperate.

00:29:25You know what that means.

00:29:27Let go of him. Leave him alone.

00:29:29Oh, stop it.

00:29:33Professor Newton, you've been granted extraordinary privilege.

00:29:39Bobby has been near you and allowed a weekly visit.

00:29:41Proudly, I say, my own son does not know my face,

00:29:45as Bobby will not long remember yours.

00:29:48Joyfax!

00:29:50No, I won't go!

00:29:56Professor Newton!

00:29:57Bobby!

00:29:58Get down!

00:29:58Hey, Mardantevac!

00:30:00Darkhunt!

00:30:02Yes, Professor Newton?

00:30:03I pledge my complete cooperation.

00:30:07I thought you'd finally see it my way.

00:30:25How's she going, Rock?

00:30:28Look, Quinky.

00:30:29Okay.

00:30:33Ah, the officiant beams picked us up, huh?

00:30:37But still no challenge?

00:30:38Not a word.

00:30:40I don't like it.

00:30:41Well, this is spookland for sure.

00:30:43Trocovic and Sparcano.

00:30:45Trocovic.

00:30:47Sparcano on Ophian.

00:30:49Well, that must be their challenge now.

00:30:51Space range array.

00:30:53Forward, please.

00:30:54Vina.

00:30:55Replanto.

00:30:56Translate incoming message.

00:30:58Trocovic and Sparcano.

00:31:01It's a repeat to identify and state destination.

00:31:04Shall I answer an Ophian, sir?

00:31:05No, not yet.

00:31:07They'll know the universal distress signal.

00:31:08Helipso.

00:31:09That's all I want them to know at the moment.

00:31:12Helipso.

00:31:14Rocky Jones of the airship, XV-2, in distress.

00:31:18Helipso.

00:31:23Come in, XV-2, and declare nature of emergency.

00:31:27Starboard control rockets conked out.

00:31:30Request permission to land and repair.

00:31:31Do you know you've transgressed the Ophician boundary?

00:31:37We could disintegrate you with no questions asked.

00:31:40My apologies.

00:31:42It was unavoidable.

00:31:44I now ask that you recognize Article 7 of our treaty.

00:31:48Rocky Jones?

00:31:49May I speak to someone in authority?

00:31:52I am Cleolata.

00:31:55The suzerain of Ophicius.

00:31:57Yes.

00:31:58I will respect the treaty.

00:32:00You have my permission to land.

00:32:03Ellipse our planet.

00:32:05We will then assign approach path and clearance.

00:32:08Fintendo and Tove.

00:32:10Fintendo and Tove.

00:32:12I guess that means rogering out.

00:32:14Catch on fast, Winky.

00:32:15It does.

00:32:16Winky.

00:32:18Go after and knock out one of the starboard rockets.

00:32:20Do enough damage so we'll have at least a week to find Professor Newton and Bobby while you make repairs.

00:32:25Oh, Rocky, all that work.

00:32:26Couldn't we just pretend?

00:32:28Orders are orders.

00:32:29We've got to stay there a week.

00:32:30Come on, now.

00:32:30Beat it.

00:32:37Fortunately, Griff prepared us for Rocky Jones' arrival.

00:32:39Now, to prepare Professor Newton and the boy.

00:32:57Sit down, Bobby.

00:32:59Please, Cleolanta.

00:33:00I'd rather stand.

00:33:02Why'd you stand for me?

00:33:03I said sit down.

00:33:05Are you enjoying your visit on Ophicius?

00:33:11It's not a visit.

00:33:12You're keeping us by force.

00:33:14You'll never let us leave.

00:33:16Professor Newton is very valuable to our cause.

00:33:19Too, Bobby, if you study and prepare yourself and cooperate.

00:33:25I don't like what you teach.

00:33:26And if you think you'll ever lick Earth and the united worlds of the solar system,

00:33:31you've got another thing coming.

00:33:34You may change your mind, Bobby.

00:33:36I don't like you.

00:33:37MINDY

00:33:45You may change your mind.

00:33:46You may change your mind.

00:33:47Goodbye.

00:33:48Bye.

00:33:51I don't like you.

00:33:53Bye.

00:34:01Bye.

00:34:02Bye.

00:34:03Bye.

00:34:04Bye.

00:34:36He's under our influence.

00:34:39From now on, little Bobby will be cooperating.

00:34:43Now, Professor Newton is next.

00:34:45But Cleolanta, the professor has just pledged his complete cooperation.

00:34:48The work can't continue with the distortion of thoughts.

00:34:51We don't dare risk confusing his brain.

00:34:53That will be my decision, Dargato.

00:34:56Right now, the report Rocky Jones will send back to Earth is more important.

00:35:05This is the XV-2 awaiting further landing instructions.

00:35:15This is Cleolanta, the suzerain of Ophicius.

00:35:19Come in, XV-2, and identify.

00:35:22This is Rocky Jones in the XV-2.

00:35:25We have ellipsed your planet.

00:35:26Now request landing instructions.

00:35:28Set controls for free fall.

00:35:30We will bring you in.

00:35:31When you land, I shall personally extend a welcome to Ophicius.

00:35:36Fintendo and Tove.

00:35:38Fintendo and Tove.

00:35:40Set for free fall.

00:35:42What a system.

00:35:44Say, maybe we got our word Ophicius from their name Ophicius, huh?

00:35:48I'm afraid you're right, Winky.

00:35:50Well, let's take a look before we land, huh?

00:35:56Free fall, sir.

00:36:00Wow!

00:36:01If that's not the biggest building yet, I'll scramble Scorpio.

00:36:04What is it, Benin?

00:36:05An alcovary to govern ox.

00:36:07What's that in English?

00:36:08It means government headquarters.

00:36:10We'll be taken there.

00:36:11I hope we'll come back out.

00:36:13People have been known not to.

00:36:14I'm anxious to meet this fabulous Rocky Jones.

00:36:33This will be an unexpected pleasure.

00:36:36In more ways than one.

00:36:44You and your friends are free to come and go as you wish.

00:36:47See our country.

00:36:49Look into corners.

00:36:51Search our minds.

00:36:52We have nothing to hide.

00:36:55I only ask for a fair report when you return to Earth.

00:37:00Don't believe a word of it.

00:37:02How long will it take to repair your spaceship?

00:37:05Oh?

00:37:06A week, perhaps.

00:37:09We'll do the job as soon as possible.

00:37:11Why not enjoy your stay here, Mr. Jones, and let my technicians do the work?

00:37:17I insist.

00:37:18We can do a much better job, I assure you.

00:37:23Letting the rest of the universe know the truth about Ophicius is difficult, Mr. Jones.

00:37:28People who don't understand us go back with lurid tales.

00:37:31For all those that do, elect to remain and share our life with us, and happiness here.

00:37:40Perhaps you know Professor Newton.

00:37:43Why, uh...

00:37:44Why, yes, I do.

00:37:46Young Ward, Bobby?

00:37:48Yes, I know them both very well.

00:37:50Then you must see them.

00:37:51At once.

00:37:52I'd like to, Cliland.

00:37:53We're proud of our observatory, Rocky.

00:38:13I'll have Professor Newton show you around.

00:38:16The professor likes it here very much, as you know.

00:38:21Ah, so now it's Rocky, huh?

00:38:23And he's about to crack out with some kid, Clio.

00:38:26Oh, he's just playing it her way, stringing her along.

00:38:29Women always fall for that, you know.

00:38:42Professor Newton.

00:38:44Uh-huh.

00:38:45Here are some friends.

00:38:47Hello, Professor.

00:38:47Hi, Professor.

00:38:50Friends?

00:38:50Oh, why, of course.

00:38:54Rocky Jones.

00:38:56And Winky.

00:38:58Well, well.

00:38:59This is indeed a pleasure.

00:39:01And a surprise.

00:39:03Welcome.

00:39:04Welcome to Ephesus.

00:39:06We'll leave you alone to enjoy the reunion.

00:39:09Oh, but there's no...

00:39:10No reason for you to leave Cleolanta.

00:39:13Well, you...

00:39:14This is like old times, isn't it, Rocky?

00:39:27Oh, Professor, you remember Vina Ray?

00:39:29Vina Ray?

00:39:30Well, it seems I should...

00:39:33It was during the exchange of scientists back on Earth that you gave me a medal, given

00:39:37you by Secretary Drake, remember?

00:39:39I gave you a medal.

00:39:40Yes, don't you remember?

00:39:42Well, perhaps.

00:39:44Oh, but that's of no matter.

00:39:46Rocky, Rocky.

00:39:48Isn't this a wonderful country?

00:39:50So exciting.

00:39:51So stimulating.

00:39:52And, look, these instruments.

00:39:54Things to work with beyond my wildest dreams.

00:39:58And, uh, where's Bobby, Professor?

00:40:01Bobby.

00:40:02Oh, why, of course, Bobby.

00:40:04I'll get him.

00:40:08Hey, uh, maybe they got a bug planted in here so they can overhear our conversations.

00:40:13Maybe the Professor knows about it and he's putting on an act.

00:40:15Maybe.

00:40:16But that look in his eyes...

00:40:18He's not the same, Rocky.

00:40:19I know.

00:40:20Shh.

00:40:22Hi there, Bobby.

00:40:23The Space Ranger's service hasn't been the same without you around under our heels.

00:40:27We sure miss you.

00:40:28Nice of you to say that, Winky.

00:40:30Welcome to Ophesus, Rocky.

00:40:33Oh, come on, Bobby.

00:40:35Let's see how much you've grown.

00:40:36You used to come up to here, you know.

00:40:38Height alone isn't the measurement of a man.

00:40:52Oh, Bobby, do you see any changes?

00:40:57Nothing appreciable.

00:40:59Remember, you were going to Captain One just like her when you grew up.

00:41:02And none of that newfangled stuff, boys.

00:41:04She's got to be just like the orbit jet.

00:41:06I'll Captain a spaceship someday and she'll run rings around the orbit jet.

00:41:10Maybe we'll meet up in space against each other.

00:41:14And I'll like that.

00:41:17Bobby.

00:41:17I'd like to go back to the observatory.

00:41:22All right, Bobby.

00:41:23Bobby.

00:41:35Mina, take Bobby back to the observatory, please.

00:41:38Goodbye, Bobby.

00:41:40Bye.

00:41:41So long, Bobby.

00:41:45Nothing, huh?

00:41:46And I thought going through the orbit jet would bring him back to his senses.

00:41:50Boy, if we could get him back on Earth for a while, they'd come to their senses quick enough.

00:41:54Hey, maybe we could figure out a way to...

00:41:57We go by the rule of freedom and a man's right to make his own decisions.

00:42:01Professor Newton and Bobby want to stay here on Ophesus, so...

00:42:05There's nothing we can do about it.

00:42:08We used to be friends.

00:42:18I'm sorry it's different now.

00:42:20Goodbye, Bobby.

00:42:21Goodbye.

00:42:22Goodbye.

00:42:22Bobby, what's the matter?

00:42:44I don't know.

00:42:44I feel sort of dizzy.

00:42:46As if I wasn't myself.

00:42:47Here, I'll help you up the stairs.

00:42:48No.

00:42:50It's cold.

00:42:51It's a prison.

00:42:52Just like the rest of Ophesus.

00:42:53Say that again, Bobby.

00:42:54No, no.

00:42:55I don't know what I'm saying.

00:42:58Vina, I was just on the orbit jet with Rocky, wasn't I?

00:43:02Yes, Bobby.

00:43:02You were.

00:43:03Please, Vina, go get Rocky for me.

00:43:05I want to talk to him right away.

00:43:07Of course, Bobby.

00:43:07Hurry, Vina.

00:43:08I will, Bobby.

00:43:08With your permission, we'd like to blast off at 0300.

00:43:14So soon?

00:43:15Does this mean you don't like it here?

00:43:18I would like to prolong your visit, Rocky.

00:43:22And I would rather you didn't.

00:43:25Hey, Vina.

00:43:27Looking for me?

00:43:29Where's Rocky?

00:43:30I got a call from Cleo, Atlanta.

00:43:32What's reverse English for the government building?

00:43:34An alcovar de Governax.

00:43:35That's what the man said.

00:43:36That's where Rocky is.

00:43:37Thanks, Winky.

00:43:37Sure.

00:43:41Do I have permission to blast off at 0300?

00:43:43You have no right to detain us, you know.

00:43:46Please, Rocky, sit down.

00:43:49Perhaps you'd rather blast off earlier.

00:43:510230?

00:43:52The time you left Earth?

00:43:55How did you learn that?

00:43:56I also know of the attack by an unknown spaceship.

00:44:01And a great many other things.

00:44:05Shall I go on?

00:44:07Yes.

00:44:09This is very interesting.

00:44:12Please do.

00:44:14For instance, your mission to bring back Professor Newton.

00:44:19And the boy.

00:44:22But they don't want to go back, do they, Rocky?

00:44:26And maybe you won't want to go back, either.

00:44:30Any more than they do.

00:44:32And they don't want to go back, do they, Rocky?

00:44:35How's it going?

00:44:37Oh.

00:44:37No

00:44:50There

00:44:51There

00:44:52There

00:44:53Rocky!

00:45:02Rocky!

00:45:03Rocky!

00:45:04Rocky!

00:45:06Rocky!

00:45:07Rocky!

00:45:08Rocky!

00:45:10Rocky!

00:45:11Rocky!

00:45:12Rocky!

00:45:13Rocky!

00:45:14Rocky!

00:45:15Rocky!

00:45:16Rocky!

00:45:23Darganto, Darganto, see me at once.

00:45:34You've got to come with us, Professor.

00:45:36I want to go back.

00:45:37No, I refuse.

00:45:39I refuse to leave Ophicius.

00:45:41This is my adopted land, and I prefer to remain here.

00:45:45He doesn't mean it, Rocky.

00:45:46He doesn't know what he's saying.

00:45:48Oh, Bobby.

00:45:49Please, Rocky, get us off of here right away.

00:45:53Me and Winky are standing by the spaceship.

00:46:02Now, we've been allowed to come and go as we wish.

00:46:04If we're lucky, we can make it for a fast blast-off.

00:46:06No, no.

00:46:07Ah, Darganto, my good friend.

00:46:11Very thanks.

00:46:13The Professor and Bobby, the condomando.

00:46:16Come along, Bobby, come along.

00:46:18I've already told them we'd prefer to remain here.

00:46:21Rocky.

00:46:21Yeah.

00:46:21No, I won't go.

00:46:24I want to stay with Rocky.

00:46:34Yes, Darganto?

00:46:36Rocky Jones is trying to force Professor Newton to leave Ophicius.

00:46:39And the boy?

00:46:40He's been...

00:46:41He's been influenced, clear, Lanta.

00:46:44Have Rocky Jones step forward.

00:46:46So this is the way you repay the freedom I have granted you.

00:46:57Darganto.

00:46:59Yes, clear, Lanta.

00:47:01Bring Rocky Jones to an Alcobar de Govenox.

00:47:04It will be his decision to remain on Ophicius.

00:47:10Oh!

00:47:18Darganto.

00:47:19Darganto!

00:47:20Darganto!

00:47:21THE END

00:47:51Who told you about my flight to a fish?

00:48:04Who's your man on Earth?

00:48:07Tell me, who's your spy on our planet?

00:48:10Griff, Griff in the Space Ranger service.

00:48:13Did you say Griff?

00:48:21Griff, Griff in the Space Ranger service.

00:48:51That looks a couple of Space Rangers, can you, Bobby?

00:49:14Quick, Bobby, up the lighter.

00:49:15Hey, Vena, here comes Rocky with the Professor and Bobby.

00:49:26It looks like trouble.

00:49:27We better prepare for blast-off.

00:49:30On the double, Vena.

00:49:32Secure blast-off harness and ascend ladder.

00:49:34Hmm?

00:49:35What was that last thing, Winky?

00:49:36Do what to what?

00:49:38Never mind, I'll get it.

00:49:38Secure for blast-off.

00:49:47Rocky, we're blasting off.

00:49:48Good work, Vena.

00:50:15I wonder how our passengers are.

00:50:18Rocky Jones, for instance.

00:50:21Griff, traitor right in headquarters.

00:50:28What are you frowning about, Rocky?

00:50:30He's won.

00:50:31The adventure's about over.

00:50:32That's what you think.

00:50:35Just wait and see.

00:50:37Congratulations for a fine blast-off.

00:50:54Thanks, Rocky.

00:50:55Thank you, sir.

00:50:57I was talking to Winky.

00:50:59Now I'm talking to you, even though you are my commanding officer.

00:51:03Rocky, why don't you get that serious look off your face once in a while?

00:51:07I'll take over, Vena.

00:51:08You better go back with Professor Newton and Bobby.

00:51:11They may need some attention.

00:51:12They've had a rough time.

00:51:13Yes, sir.

00:51:20Ah, the woman's touch.

00:51:22That who's going to say anything against it?

00:51:24Hey, how's the professor, Rocky?

00:51:26Barely confused at the moment.

00:51:28Keep saying, why are you taking me away from Ophiuchus?

00:51:31And he rubs his head and can't understand why he said a thing like that.

00:51:34Gosh, that must have been some powerful treatment he got up there.

00:51:38Yes, he still acts as if his brain had been paralyzed, but he's coming around.

00:51:41This is weakness, Cleolander.

00:52:03The ship must be destroyed.

00:52:06Or is it because Rocky Jones is aboard?

00:52:08Your great mistake was in trying to keep him here.

00:52:11I'm going to give the orders to...

00:52:12I give the orders, Darganto.

00:52:14Not you or anyone.

00:52:15Cleolander, if they even reach our communication zone, we lose our best ally on Earth.

00:52:20Our own man and their headquarters.

00:52:21You mean Griff?

00:52:22Yes.

00:52:24Rocky knows we have an ally on Earth.

00:52:26But Rocky can't possibly suppose that he is...

00:52:29But he can, Cleolander.

00:52:30He knows.

00:52:30I...

00:52:31You told him?

00:52:35I was forced to.

00:52:36And you were the strong one.

00:52:39You're a weakling and a traitor.

00:52:41I had no intention of allowing them to go beyond our reach.

00:52:45But neither am I prepared to invite a war just now.

00:52:48In a moment, we'll falsely magnetize their instruments.

00:52:53If the orbit jet crashes into an officious moon, it's not our responsibility.

00:53:01That will help correct your mistake.

00:53:03What do you bet they're just pretending they'll let us get away?

00:53:14Uh-huh.

00:53:17Heads they blast us.

00:53:18Tails they don't, huh?

00:53:20The odds aren't that good.

00:53:22If they can't have Professor Newton on their side, they certainly don't want him on ours.

00:53:27Well, it's clear sailing ahead.

00:53:29That is, unless they decide to blast us.

00:53:31Is it manual control, Rocky?

00:53:34No, we'll go by instruments.

00:53:36Conserve all power for this long half, Winky.

00:53:41You know, Winky, it's hard to understand how a man raised on our Earth could fall in line with the Ophesians and become a spy for them against us.

00:53:50You mean we got one of those things crawling around?

00:53:53Yes.

00:53:54And in the Space Ranger's surface.

00:53:56What?

00:53:58Oh, you must be kidding.

00:53:59Galloping galaxies.

00:54:00I can't believe it.

00:54:01Do you know who it is?

00:54:03Yes.

00:54:04Griff.

00:54:06Griff.

00:54:08Golly.

00:54:10Hey, Griff's at headquarters.

00:54:12That's right.

00:54:14I don't understand it, but looking back, I can believe it.

00:54:18You see, Winky, Griff had a lot of time piled up, including a hop to Ophesius.

00:54:22That's when the bug bit him.

00:54:23That's when he fell for their phoning philosophy.

00:54:26Yeah, go on.

00:54:27Then he took advantage of off-earth time to ask us for an office assignment so he could spy for them.

00:54:33Nyvon, Comets, the guy must have got moon fever.

00:54:35He must be nuts to do a thing like that.

00:54:37Well, it's hard to explain a traitor, Winky, but...

00:54:41Well, his main purpose was to infiltrate the heart of our operations.

00:54:44That explains why the Ophesians seemed to know what we were going to do before we did it.

00:54:49Griff tipped them off.

00:54:50Gosh, Rocky, wait till Secretary Drake hears this and realizes that his own assistant...

00:55:00Yes, I know.

00:55:02Always better bring the log up to date and seal it.

00:55:08And so, I...

00:55:10I was forced to make my declaration as I did.

00:55:14Oh, but I hoped you wouldn't believe it, that you'd understand that I was being influenced.

00:55:19Please, Professor, calm yourself.

00:55:22We understand.

00:55:24Vita, please.

00:55:25Come forward to make an entry in the log.

00:55:27Yes, sir.

00:55:27Right away, sir.

00:55:29At your service, sir.

00:55:31Don't worry, Professor.

00:55:33I said things just as bad, if not worse.

00:55:36I told Rocky I wanted to go up against him in a space fight, and I was going to lick him.

00:55:42No.

00:55:43You little Bobby said that?

00:55:46Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

00:55:49And also during this mission,

00:55:54Darganto, a power in the Ophicius Formation,

00:55:57admitted under stress that their agent on Earth is Griff.

00:56:01Yes, Mr. Secretary, Griff.

00:56:04The time is now 1535, and we're still within the boundaries of the Ophicius Formation.

00:56:09You got that?

00:56:10Mm-hmm.

00:56:10Mr. Secretary, as an integral part of the log of this flight of the XV-2,

00:56:17I wish to make the following entry.

00:56:21I have never had so fine a crew.

00:56:24As an integral part of the log of this flight?

00:56:29Rocky, this includes me.

00:56:34Go on, Tina, there's more.

00:56:42Sorry, sir.

00:56:43There's only one T in integral.

00:56:47Go on, Tina, there's more.

00:56:49Sorry, sir.

00:56:51There's only one T in integral.

00:56:53Southern satellites.

00:57:07That was too close for comfort.

00:57:09So Rocky Jones wasn't going to get beyond our reach, hmm?

00:57:12Silence.

00:57:14I have another plan.

00:57:15I have another plan.

00:57:15You know, Winky, I'm sure glad there's only one T in integral.

00:57:34Hey, listen, Rocky.

00:57:36I'm finally in clear contact with Space Station RV-5.

00:57:39Not a relay of the message to her.

00:57:41Oh, Hopper and Hercules.

00:57:42Won't Secretary Drake be glad to hear we have the Professor and Bobby aboard?

00:57:46Yes, he will.

00:57:47But our first report has to be unfavorable.

00:57:50Oh, because Griff might intercept it, huh?

00:57:53Yes.

00:57:54Our first report has to be aimed at Griff, not at Drake.

00:57:57You see, the spaceship we destroyed must have been their communication link between Earth and Ophiis.

00:58:02Now, that leaves Griff in the dark.

00:58:04It's the late developments.

00:58:05We've got to keep him that way.

00:58:06Hmm, I get you.

00:58:07So until we land back at headquarters, it's safer to let Griff think our flight was a failure.

00:58:15The XB-2 calling Space Station RV-5, reporting on Operation Haystack.

00:58:22Well, mission unsuccessful.

00:58:25Unsuccessful?

00:58:25All right, Rocky.

00:58:28I'll relay the message to Drake.

00:58:29Over and out.

00:58:34Well, I guess you can't win all the time.

00:58:36Clark to Secretary Drake.

00:58:39Confidential.

00:58:40Operation Haystack.

00:58:42Come in, headquarters of Space Affairs.

00:58:45Hold on, Clark.

00:58:45I'll call Secretary Drake.

00:58:47Mr. Secretary.

00:58:55Yes, Griff?

00:58:56Space Station RV-5 reporting, sir, on Operation Haystack.

00:58:59So Rocky made it back.

00:59:01Good.

00:59:07Mr. Secretary Drake, send the message over to the scrambler, Clark.

00:59:12Ready here, sir.

00:59:14Proceed, Clark.

00:59:17Mission unsuccessful.

00:59:23Professor Newton and Bobby, without apparent influence, seem sincere and determined in their

00:59:28desire to remain on the alien planet.

00:59:31This is a blow to our country, Griff.

00:59:33A staggering blow to the united worlds of the solar system.

00:59:36Yes, sir.

00:59:36Sorry, I had to send this kind of a message, Mr. Secretary.

00:59:40Over and out.

00:59:41Over and out.

00:59:47Space Station RV-5, Space Ranger Ship XV-2.

01:00:05Come in, XV-2.

01:00:07XV-2 reporting.

01:00:09Pickup by magnetic coupler complete.

01:00:11We'll put you in.

01:00:13Well, how about it, Rocky?

01:00:15You all in one piece this time, or should I alert the patch crew?

01:00:19All in one piece, Clark.

01:00:20See you soon.

01:00:21Out.

01:00:22Ah, the defeated warriors return at home.

01:00:25What a surprise this is going to be.

01:00:27How are we coming, Rocky?

01:00:32Everything's super stellar?

01:00:34Ah, super stellar, Bobby.

01:00:35We're in the magnetic field of Space Station RV-5.

01:00:38Oh, boy.

01:00:39Now to get out and run the hundreds.

01:00:40Rocky, I'll bet that way up here on the space island...

01:00:44Sorry, Bobby.

01:00:45I know we all want to get out and stretch our legs a bit, but...

01:00:48Right now, Professor Newton, it's best if you and Bobby stay out of sight in the ship.

01:00:53Oh, don't worry about us, Rocky.

01:00:55We'll do our stretching on Earth, huh?

01:00:58Thanks, Professor.

01:00:59Oh, Rocky.

01:01:01Don't lose your faith in people.

01:01:03Remember, it's the exception that proves the rule.

01:01:06Hmm.

01:01:08Hmm.

01:01:09Hmm.

01:01:10Hmm.

01:01:11Hmm.

01:01:12Hmm.

01:01:13Hmm.

01:01:14Hmm.

01:01:15Hmm.

01:01:16Hmm.

01:01:17W-O-A to Griff.

01:01:35Come in, Griff.

01:01:36W-O-A to Griff.

01:01:45Come in, Griff.

01:01:46Griff to W-O-A.

01:01:48Come in and identify.

01:01:50This is Darganto.

01:01:52Darganto?

01:01:53With everything going as planned, why chance a call at this time?

01:01:57Working as planned?

01:01:58What report have you received on the Rocky Jones flight?

01:02:01Mission unsuccessful.

01:02:03Professor Newton remaining unofficious.

01:02:05That's a lie, Griff.

01:06:07Let's go to the first section.

01:06:37Take her down to the second section while I plant and wire this one.

01:07:07Welcome home, Rocky.

01:07:31XV-2 calling Office of Space Affairs.

01:07:33Come in, please.

01:07:34Office of Space Affairs to the XV-2.

01:07:36Come in.

01:07:37I wonder where Drake is.

01:07:40Completing final breaking ellipse.

01:07:42Landing time now determined 0814.

01:07:44Requesting clearance.

01:07:46We'll be ready for you, Rocky.

01:07:48Out.

01:07:54Landing is 0814.

01:07:55Would you set your timer for 0830?

01:07:57That'll make an error of 16 minutes, which will give us time to blast off.

01:08:00But it won't give Rocky time enough to find it.

01:08:04Come in.

01:08:05You're coming with me, Drake, just in case Rocky has some ideas that don't go along with mine.

01:08:17Come along with mine.

01:08:20Whoo!

01:08:21Whoo!

01:08:23Go!

01:08:26Oh!

01:09:27Stay where you are.

01:09:42I'll go out alone.

01:10:12So you left crew and passengers aboard, eh?

01:10:17Well, that's all right with me.

01:10:24Now, Rocky, switch on blast-off synchronizer.

01:10:27Rocky.

01:10:27Go ahead.

01:10:33Start climbing.

01:10:34Take charge of the ship.

01:10:54Hold it.

01:11:10Stay right there.

01:11:11Griff will be here to take the ship off.

01:11:12You better be glad you're going along with us.

01:11:29Now, move.

01:11:30Griff, don't turn around.

01:11:43Don't make one false move.

01:11:45Toss your weapon over the side.

01:11:46Take her off, Winky.

01:12:14That's Rocky.

01:12:14Yeah, come on.

01:12:15Quick, quick.

01:12:15Take her off.

01:12:16Go with the synchronizer.

01:12:18That's an order.

01:12:18Rocky, stop him.

01:12:20Get us aboard.

01:12:20We don't know what you're doing.

01:12:21What am I doing, Griff?

01:12:26I've got the whole headquarters planted.

01:12:40Any minute now, any second, we're going up in smoke.

01:12:43Then you better go pull some switches if you want to lift.

01:12:45All right.

01:13:45No space ranger is going to put anything over on me.

01:14:15No space ranger is going to put anything over there.

01:14:46XB-2 to Office of Space Affairs. Come in, Office of Space Affairs.

01:14:54Office of Space Affairs to the XB-2.

01:14:57Come in, Office of Space Affairs.

01:14:59Well, Mr. Secretary, I must say this is quite a twist by being on the receiving end here.

01:15:04But everything's under control. You can return to base.

01:15:07State landing time. We're all clear for you.

01:15:10We'll come in now, Rocky, and congratulations.

01:15:13Mission successful, thanks to you.
