01x13 - Return of the Moleman

Post by bunniefuu »

Rare roast beef all up and grime.

Whoa, that's hot!

Okay, you two, come and get it.

This roast isn't done well enough.

There, that should do it. Look what you

did to my roast, you blame show-off. Hey,

you two. Cool down. As

long as Sue had to attend the science

dinner, Ben's volunteered to do the

cooking. Well, if this silly torch hasn't

spoiled our dinner, let's eat it.

Pretty good meal. If I do say so,

mind.

What's going on?

Feels like a big earthquake.

Jump in Jihasafet.

Sit tight. Can't last much longer.

The shock waves have passed. Johnny, fly

out and see what happens. Flame on!

Wow, I can't believe it! A

whole city block, gone!

Nobody seems hurt in the street, but

you'll never believe what I saw. Why?

I've never seen an earthquake swallow a

whole city block. Things like that don't

just happen. Let's get down and

investigate. Come on.

I can't see the bottom. Fly down and see

if you can find him. Okay, Reed. Play

him on!

No sign of the bottom yet.

Can you see him?No, he's out of sight.

Must be a mile down. I can feel it

getting colder. Ice all around!

Better go up before my flame gives out.

What did you find out?I couldn't reach

the bottom. Ice was too thick. Ice

down there?That doesn't figure.

That was no ordinary earthquake. That

subterranean ice convinces me of who's

behind this. Quick! Back to

headquarters. We must get in touch with

Sue.

Enough of them. Now to locate their

partner, the Invisible Girl.

Ah There she is, at Science Hall,

making a speech. Now to make her my

hostage. I will take her, as well as

some of the most prominent scientists in

the world. With them as hostages, the

world will soon be in my power.

Now to lower the Science Hall from the

surface.

I shall go to my camera and welcome my

guests.

Where are we?What's happening?I don't

know. I don't know

Silence! Go as you are

torn, and no harm will be for you.

There is just one amongst you I want.

She is the girl member of the Fantastic

Four. I better get out

of here. You forget that we can find you

through our radar sense. Careful, do not

harm her.

Come on, Reed. Did you know anything

about those two earthquakes swallowing

the two city blocks, speak up. I'm

almost sure, Ben. But until I make some

more calculations, I won't say. We

interrupt this program to bring you

pictures of the hole where the second

city blocked, this one containing Science

Hall, sank out of sight with most of the

world's outstanding scientists. Hey,

Susan Science Hall! As yet, there is

no explanation for this strange

phenomenon. You

see, Mr. Richards, I have a valuable

member of your team in my power, as well

as all the leading scientists. Result.

You will do nothing to wreck my plans for

world domination. Remember,

she stands hostage. Goodbye.

Reed! What'll we do?We're gonna go get

her, that's what. A mole man would never

keep his word on any agreement. He was my

prime suspect. Let's get to the Pogo

plane hangar.

Slide the hatchback, Reed. We might have

to get out of this crate fast. Look

sharp. He knows we're coming and he'll be

ready for us.

Drost a little lower, a little more.

There. They are in my trap.

Take her up, Ben. Flame on!

I had a hunch that these controlled

spears would melt and fall apart.

Now to get back to Ben and Reed.

All clear! Back her down, Benji!

I didn't consider this intense heat. But

now I will bring them down. That prop

job will never stay up with my atomic

turbine downdraft. Blowers on.

Now I'll go out and wait for them. I

can't hold her. Something's happening!

We're gonna spin!

Hang on! I'm gonna try to catch her.

There! Got her!

Who would've believed this?It's the

Moleman Subterranean Hideout. It's here

that-- You're quite right, Mr.

Richards. I'd advise you to exercise

extreme caution as you climb down.

It's the Mole Man, with Sue! Let's rush

him! He can't get us all! Hold it. Think

of Sue. I rather expected you would

manage to arrive here intact, in spite of

my little tricks. Do not attempt any

foolish rescue, Richards. Don't worry

about me, Reed. He must be stopped from

attacking the surface world. He'll be

stopped. If not by us, by someone else.

But no harm will be for you, Sue. You are

right. There are others. But if you value

her life, prevent others from defying me.

Now, step out in the clear.

There, that will do. I am

sending you back to the surface to stop

the National Guard attempt to destroy me.

Start the air blast!

Don't worry, Sue! Goodbye!

And me would ought to sh**t! I'm going to

flame on and fly up to the surface. I'll

catch you when you get there. Flame on!

Wow, look at this!The National

Guard really means business. Uh oh,

there's Reed and Ben coming

That's hot!

You're watching ... What are

we gonna do?First thing, find out who's

in charge of this outfit. Who do you want?

I said, who do you want to see?The

commanding officer. I must see him

quickly. I'm Colonel Savre, in command of

this regiment. What's the problem?It

looks like you're going to attack. I want

you to hold off for 24 hours so that

we... The attack starts in one minute.

Stop it. Call it off. All of those people

are held as hostage. They'll all be

k*lled. Not enough time. Can't get the

word around. We can, Colonel, we can. Way

on! Carver in time.

Hurry up and disarm that thing. I got

some more work to do.

Ready to fire.

close the b*mb bay doors! We're being

towed away! A bow

would look good on this one. Hey, that's

our new g*n barrel! Too bad!

Can't you take a hint?We don't want no

sh**ting for a while. Mr. Richards?

This is the Colonel. Where are you,

Richards?Uh oh, that's the Colonel.

Better get over there. Goodbye, fellas.

No hard feelings. Over here,

Colonel, here I am.

I just received orders to locate you and

place my command in your hands for the

next 24 hours. Excellent, Colonel. But

all you have to do is stand by. We have

to go to our headquarters for special

equipment. Ben, Johnny, back to the

headquarters on the double. Come on!

Coming, boss. Meet you there, Reed.

Flame on!

You think this thing will work?Don't

know. I hope my calculations are correct.

I've no time for tests. Hold still while

I solder this last wire.

That does it. Now, if all this works, we

should be able to locate where the Mole

Man is holding Sue and surprise him. Why

don't we just take the other Pogo plane

and go back down there and attack?That's

what he expects us to do. We wouldn't

stand a chance. Hurry up, you two!

I have to hovercycle down on the

sidewalk. Time's a waster. Let's go!

Right, Ben.

Getting a reading yet?I think so.

Yes, I got her. Now to plot the angle and

compass heading.

The heading is due north. And our down

angle from here is... Is



have a fix. When shall I start burning

the tunnel?Speed it up, you two. Susie's

waiting. Coming. Okay, Johnny. Wait

till we're airborne. Then start your

tunnel. We'll be right behind you.

All set?Okay.

William on!

Escape is quite impossible. You will

remain locked in the rock crystal cage

until I conquer the world.

No one realizes how truly powerful the

Mole Man is. What am I to do?

Boy, that hothead is shook for in the

hole. We ought to catch him soon.

I'm getting close to Sue. Better slow

down.

Johnny! Come on, Sue. Reed and Van are

right behind me. Oh, Johnny!

the alarm! Who dares attack after I

warned them?It can't be the Fantastic

Four. The attack is in the Rock Crystal

Labyrinth. Whoever it is will soon

learn the price of such folly.

After them!

It's clobbering time! I sense

it! Hey, Reed! Ben! I got Sue

out okay, but we better get out of here.

I heard alarms going off in there. Well,

let's go. Down this tunnel.

There's an opening.

Slow down. Don't bust out in the open.

Easy!

There's the buildings and the people.

Yes. And we must locate them all, man's

master controls and reverse the

machinery. Get set,

everybody. Someone's watching me!

Sue, your force field!

Can you diffuse your force field?Yes!

Quick, into the building! This

is it! We found it!

Let me weld it into a chunk of iron. Let

me rip it all out. Not yet. First, we

must find the control panel and raise

those buildings back to the surface. Turn

invisible and get over to the building.

Tell them to stay inside. Okay, Reed.

Be careful. Right. Let's find that

control panel. Yeah! I think it's this

direction. All the lines lead this way.

Be ready with the SATA ray. They

approach from the main power room.

You fired too soon! Giant zeta

particles! I can dodge those! Here

goes! sh**t him! Now's

our chance! Let's go!

Stop! Get out of there!

Might as well finish it!

I must get to my safety dome.

I got the Zeta g*n, but the Mo Man got

away. We'll raise the buildings and then

find him. There!

That should do it! Steady,

everyone!

There they go, and Sue is safely with

them. They are at my controls,

my work, my plans all

lost!But I'll destroy

them. Come on, let's get out of this

control room and back up to the hover

cycle. He might blow up this room. To the

cave!

I'll finish them. They won't escape.

They've ruined me.

If he keeps that up, he'll set off a

chain reaction.

Ben, are you playing a joke?Are you

kidding?

You think I joke when this whole cave is

blowing up?There

she goes! Hang on!

Hey! The buildings are all bad!

What do we do?Go back to headquarters?

Oh, let's go see the Colonel and getsued.

And so, Colonel, the more man actually

blew up his whole domain. I believe it's

the end of it. At any rate, we know his

dreams of world conquest are ended.

Who would've thought it?A ticketing

parade for us! Don't get too

inflated over it. HuhYou still have a job

to do after the parade. What's that?

Look back. Uh-oh. You've gotta

undo those two tanks that you tied

together yesterday.

Oh, my taken back!
