All language subtitles for Voltron Legendary Defender - Season 07 - Episode 09 [Know Your Enemy]

[static crackling]

Dad, please respond.

Voltron is coming. Hold on.

Are we too late?

[static crackling]

[Sam] Katie? Katie, is that you?

Dad, it's me. I'm here.

Katie, I'm so glad to hear your voice.
Where are you?

We're within the Solar System.
Heading to Earth now.

Wait! You must stop!

- What? Say again.
- [Sam] Stop.

Sendak has invaded the planet.

He's taken over Earth.

If he finds out that
Voltron is here,

he'll threaten the people of
Earth in exchange for the Lions.

Reverse thrusters!

Copy that. Hold tight!

[alarm beeping]

[electronic chirping]

Pick up those Galra
ships' locations.

We need to scramble any
transmissions immediately.

- [keyboard clicking]
- Scanning location.

I got it.
They're opening a channel.

Triangulating position
for broadcast.

Sending interference.

[static buzzing]

[Sam] Paladins,
we blocked the patrol's transmission.

You're clear.

Roger that. Let's take 'em out!

[Lion roars]

[sonic boom]

Wait! Don't destroy that ship.
We might need it.

- Really? For what?
- I've got an idea.

[Pidge] We can't fly our Lions
to Earth without being spotted,

so they'll have to stay here
on this moon in Saturn's rings,

which should keep them
hidden from Sendak's radars.

We'll fly in another way.

[thrusters roaring]

[sonic boom]

[Allura] I hope the mice and Kaltenecker
aren't too frightened without us.

[mouse squeaking]

Hang on!
We're entering Earth's atmosphere.

This is weird.

This is almost exactly how we left Earth,
crammed in the cockpit of the Blue Lion.

[Keith] We're overweight.
I'm losing altitude.

Brace for impact!

[alarm blaring]

[thrusters boom]

Hey, I know this place.
I've been here.

This is Plaht City.

It's about a half an
hour from the garrison.

Whoa, I can't believe this
is all that's left of it.

We need to get to the garrison.

Stay together.

Let's move quick and quiet.

Whoa! Take cover!

[all shouting]

[shouts, grunts]

- [grunts]
- I'll distract it, you take the shot.

Don't miss.

[beeping]

[gun charges up, gunfire]

[gun charges up, gunfire]

[Keith] I wonder how many of these
things they have around here.

Pidge, any chance we could see
those things before they get to us?

[Pidge] Already on it.
Looks like four more headed our way.

- [laser blast]
- [gasps]

It's not drones. Look.

Huh?

[vehicle approaching]

Stay down, we got this!

I had it.

[Griffin] Drones send distress
signals when attacked.

Our weapons neutralize
those signals.

So unless you wanna deal
with a swarm of those things,

let us handle it.

Now let's get out of
here before more show up.

[gasps]

[gasps]

- Mom!
- [both laugh]

[Colleen] Oh!

Oh, Katie,
I'm so glad you're home!

[Pidge laughs]

[Veronica] Lance!

[kids] Uncle Lance!

Oh. Hey!

[Lance's family laughing]

[Lance's mom] My son.

- [Lance] It's so good to see you.
- [Veronica] We never gave up on you.

[Lance] I missed you so much.

Oh, my gosh.
You two are so much bigger now.

You're the same size.

Hey, Hunk.

We're going to miss you so much

now that you're going
to be a space explorer.

Well, I don't know
about space explorer.

I was thinking more of a
mechanic for space explorers.

Can you build us a spaceship?

Uh, well, I don't need to
because we're already in one.

- [imitating spaceship]
- [girl giggling]

[Sam] It's good
to have you home.

So, my family?

We'll get them back soon.

[Iverson] Officer Shirogane.

It's great to see you again.

My apologies for throwing
you in quarantine.

Ah, so you're the one who
strapped Shiro to a table.

I heard about that.

You were just following orders,
as any good soldier would.

It's great to see you, too.

Allow me to introduce
you to our Altean allies.

Meet Allura, Romelle, and Coran.

The honor is mine.

Your technology has been instrumental
in defending this small corner of Earth.

Oh, yes.
Pop-Pop was quite the genius.

And, Cadet...

Yes, sir.

I owe you an apology as well.

I've heard about
all you've done.

I was wrong about you.

It's an honor and
privilege to see you again.

Thank you, sir.

I guess I wasn't exactly
the best cadet back then.

I probably owe you a
bit of an apology, too.

Ah, and who's this little fella?

Oh, Kosmo likes you.

But be careful.

If you touch it,
it could zap you to a different universe.

Hmm?

Seriously.

Adam...

I'm sorry.

It's because of them that
Earth still has a chance.

[Iverson] It's time
for our debriefing.

[beeping]

Sendak's forces remain at bay,
but without a meaningful supply line,

we're slowly being suffocated.

No one else is putting up
a fight against Sendak?

Small underground pockets of
resistance have attempted to do so

with varying degrees of success.

Eventually, all were discovered
and systematically wiped out.

Earth's offensive capabilities simply
don't stand a chance against the Galra.

Why don't we bring more
people into this base?

We've had to put a halt
on our extraction ops

as they were proving
to be too risky.

But there are good people out there.
They could be protected.

My family's out there.

I'm sorry, Hunk.

But if we have an
opportunity now...

Hey, do Paladins not understand
the chain of command?

Your CO said it
was too dangerous.

Officer Griffin, that's enough.

Believe me, I understand what
you're going through, Hunk.

We all have family out there,
but we have to weigh our options.

We can't lose ten
people to save 12.

I'm sorry.

Well, then let's find
out what we can do.

You said you've integrated
Altean tech with Earth weaponry?

[Sam] The Mecha-Flex-Exo fighters,
or MFEs, are extremely agile

with advanced weaponry,

but are only capable
of short-range attacks.

Sustaining power with
Altean-infused technology

is an issue we're
trying to overcome.

Maybe I can help
you out with that.

I do have some
leftover Faunatonium.

It's an Altean fuel additive,
but also has some unexpected side effects,

so don't get any on you.

[Sam] And this is
our battleship.

It's large enough to
house all of the Lions

and an entire command unit.

It's built, but it can't fly.

Everyone, there's a subject
we can't avoid any longer.

Sendak attacked Earth
because he wanted the Lions,

and now they're here.

It seems that we need to at
least discuss our options.

Are you suggesting that we willingly
hand over the Lions to the Galra?

Our supplies are gone.

We spent all our resources
on a ship that doesn't fly.

The weapons we do have are
not enough to mount an attack.

All we can do is protect
a small pocket of Earth.

But for how much longer?

The universe needs the Lions.

So does Earth.
They're our only bargaining chip.

I agree with the admiral.

Earth has been nearly destroyed.
Countless citizens have been lost.

But it could all be over
if we give up the Lions.

We have a fighting chance now
that the Lions have returned.

We need to take it.

I'll settle this
argument right now.

We're not giving up the Lions
under any circumstances.

There is no negotiating
with Sendak.

Maybe you should leave the matters
of Earth to the people who live here.

Please, Admiral.

I respect that you'll do anything
you can to protect Earth.

But trust us,

we've been through more
than you could ever imagine.

We have fought the Galra on the fringes
of the universe and in their very home.

I know there's a way
to defeat Sendak.

How? We barely know
what we're up against.

We need intelligence,
and we just don't have it.

[Allura] Maybe we do.

That information you downloaded
from the Castle of Lions

contains Sendak's memories.

How does that help?

It might give us some
insight into Sendak's plan.

Allura, you're a genius!

We just need some time.

[beeping]

[Sablan] Everything from
the castle is stored here.

Processing the massive
amount of complex Altean data

takes nearly every node we have.

Sifting through that
much information

is like trying to find
a needle in a haystack.

Then let's get started.

I'm actually quite impressed,

despite the obviously crude nature of
Earth's technological capabilities.

It has a lot of potential,

but I'm unable to recreate the
power of a Balmeran crystal.

Maybe your Faunatonium
will work for this as well?

Afraid not.

A ship like this might need two or three
battleship-class Balmeran crystals.

I don't suppose there
are any Balmera nearby?

In this young galaxy? [Guffaws]

Oh, yeah,
it's right next to the Wizblattle.

That's a no.
No Balmeras around here.

Those are Officer Holt's designs
for some of the injured soldiers.

They're extremely advanced,
but like everything else,

we don't have an adequate power
source to make them viable.

[Pidge] Here they are...
Sendak's memories.

It's just code until we
find a way to interpret it.

I might know a way.

[Hunk humming]

- Found it.
- Good job, Hunk.

Now, you remember what to do.

[Hunk grunting]

Is everything okay in here?

Yeah.

Look...

I'm not really good at
talking with people, and I...

I don't expect you to open up to
me, but...

- If there's ever anything on your mind...
- This situation stinks!

I can't believe we
finally get back to Earth

and it's taken over by Galra.

I guess there is
something on your mind.

[stammering] I know it's stupid,

but I used to daydream about
coming home to a peaceful Earth.

And that would've been great.

But I realized that nothing...

Nothing would have been
greater than seeing my family.

But I can't.

And all I keep thinking about
is that I wasn't there for them.

And I don't even
know if they're okay.

And I see Pidge and Lance
with their families, and...

[stammering] I mean,
I'm happy for them. I am.

But it just...
It makes me miss my family more.

I... I just...

I've never felt so
alone and scared.

Look, Hunk...

I never told you this,
but of all the Paladins,

you're the one I'm
most impressed by.

It's no secret that you've
been the most scared, but...

you've never backed down.

Never.

And to be brave is to
go on in spite of fear.

And that's who you are, Hunk.

I know you're scared,
but your family...

they need you to be
strong right now.

- [Hunk grunts]
- Okay.

All right. Now we're huggin'.

Thank you, Keith.

Whu...

[Keith] Where are you going?

I'm going to get my family.

Not without me.

[both] Huh?

You two heading somewhere?

This doesn't concern
either of you.

No, but you'll probably be
concerned with the patrol drones

that will spot you
within seconds.

And you might be
concerned with the blast

from Sendak's automated low-orbit,
long-range blaster satellite

that takes you out.

What's your problem?

My problem is I don't wanna see our
only hope for saving Earth get hurt.

That's why we're
coming with you.

[electronic chirping]

- [beeping]
- Uploading.

And... there.

[zapping]

Whoa.

Amazing!

We're mimicking the
way the Castle of Lions

interacted with King
Alfor's memories.

Test it out.

Ask him a question.

Um, all right.

What is your name?

I am Commander Sendak,
a royal officer to the Galra Empire.

[Sam] Where are you from?

I am proud to say I was born with
unquestionable Galra lineage.

[Sam] Commander, explain to me your
methods for conquering planets.

There are as many ways
to conquer a planet

as there are planets themselves.

Primitive species
are the easiest.

It usually doesn't take more
than one or two waves of attack

to bring them to their knees.

What about more
advanced civilizations?

[Sendak] There are always those
willing to sacrifice themselves

for the greater good.

That's why it is best to find something
they value more than themselves

and make that the target.

What do you mean?

Citizens of advanced
civilizations

have the weakness of
caring for each other.

A military operation of that scale
takes immense time and resources.

[Sendak] Our operations rely
on the resources of the planet.

They become our supplies
and feed our occupation.

Have you ever failed
in overtaking a planet?

Tenacity and time
conquer all foes.

What if a planet refuses to give
up, no matter the cost?

If a planet refuses to give
up, then we annihilate it.

But only one planet
has ever refused.

Altea.

I'm sorry,
I think I need a break.

[beeping]

[Griffin] She did it.
The signal's sent.

- Okay, now what?
- Now we wait.

Okay, just about done.

Oh, I hate waiting.

But waiting's the best part.

It's the time we get
to spend together.

- [heavy footsteps approaching]
- [both gasp]

- [footsteps approach]
- [Veronica gasps]

Come with me, quickly.

Amazing. The rumors are true.

Word of the Paladins' return
has inspired the resistance.

Thank you for your help.

Tell the resistance we're
gonna get rid of the Galra.

Words we've waited
a long time to hear.

Is this where they've
taken all the prisoners?

[Keith] What are they
doing down there?

[man] They have work camps
operating day and night

mining ore for Sendak.

It's been nonstop for months.

He's building something,
but no one is sure what.

I thought the labor force
was outside the encampment.

[man] They were,
but they've been moved in.

What does that mean?

It means we can't get
you to your parents.

No.

No. Please.

Believe me, if there was a
way, we would do it.

Can I at least see
them from here?

You wanted to see me?
I thought you were with Pidge and Sam.

Sendak's memories
were hard to hear.

But it did remind me of
something my father once said.

He told me that there are those
with the power to destroy,

and those with the
power to create.

[Keith] I see movement.

It looks like the
workers are exiting.

[Hunk] That's them.

My mom, my dad.

Don't worry.

You just need to hang
on a little longer.

We're gonna get you out.

I'm going to get you out.
