All language subtitles for The Humanoid (1979) - PAL DVD - 25FPS - eng

Metropolis, known
ages ago as Planet Earth,

now faces its gravest hour.

Lord Graal has just escaped
from the prison satellite

where his brother,

ruler of the peaceful
galactic democracy,

had exiled him.

Malevolent and power hungry,

Graal has plans of vengeance

that might forever alter
the destiny of mankind.

That's one of those ships

that guard the prison satellite.

What's it doing in our area?

Let's try to find out.

Metropolis security
orders you into free float

and to standby for board.

Those pilots
were sheep, not soldiers.

My brother has made his
army bloated with peace.

Astrofighter
ready for launching, Sire.

How far are we from Metropolis?

We are approaching gravity.

36 second vector.

Don't disappoint me, Craven.

I'll see to it all, sire.

And make sure there are no survivors,

especially that Barbara Gibson.

Understood, your Lordship.

Check the embryos.

Barbara Gibson, a telecom for you.

Hey, Tom Tom, is anything wrong?

Come home Barbara, now.

You must leave the institute at once.

But why? What's the matter?

Please take over for me.

Sure.

One more hour of this and
then we're off, thank God.

Got a hot date, Barbara?

Looks like she's been hitting

the alpha wave pills.

GBA3421, requesting
authorization to exit.

Go ahead, Ms. Gibson.

That's strange,

one of the outer guards is coming up.

He should still be on duty.

What's going on?

Nothing ever
happens here, he's just bored.

Damn it, it's jammed!

Get in, quickly.

You take that room.

Graal said it might be marked with a K,

K for Kapitron.

I don't see it.

None of them are marked.

What else did he say?

He talked about an odd-shaped one.

Octagonal, that's it!

Get it and let's get out.

Handle it gently.

God knows what Kraspin wants it for.

You two go ahead, I've
gotta check something.

I've gotta make sure we
really did kill that girl.

Damn it, it's not her.

He'll dock me for this, if I'm lucky.

We've got the Kapitron, your lordship.

And my special request?

It all went very smoothly, sire.

We killed everyone at the laboratory,

but unfortunately the girl
you wanted just wasn't there.

So you did manage to
disappoint me after all, Craven.

You are stripped of your
privileges for 100 days.

Yes, your lordship.

Head for Noxon.

We got the Kapitron.

That's really what I came for.

A promise is sacred.

A man's word should be his bond.

The rendering of useful service

should be the common duty.

Is it
as bad as I fear, Nick?

All of the guards were killed,

as well as the two men lost in space.

Not one person survived?

Yes, Great Brother.

There was a lone
survivor from the staff.

Her name is Barbara Gibson.

She was not at the institute
at the time of the attack.

Was the nuclear stockpile touched?

No sir.

This is a blatant act of war.

We must retaliate.

Then so be it.

In the name of justice,

I decree that the security forces may,

if necessary, inflict
death upon our attackers.

I want our forces brought to full alert.

Come on Tom
Tom, it's your turn.

Stop reading that strange book of yours.

If you wanna win, you
must learn to concentrate.

May I use the computer?

Of course.

Have I ever said no?

There, in six moves you're
going to lose your planet.

I'm sorry, you've lost, Barbara.

Incredible, this has
to be some sort of magic.

I can't even beat you with a computer

that can solve 18 unknowns
to the fourth power.

Where in Helios did you
learn to play so well?

In a place many eons from here.

Well, wherever it was,

your amazing skill, everything
about you is a puzzle.

You're a mystery to me, Tom Tom.

Why?

Well, you're one of the strangest pupils

I've ever been sent.

I don't know anything about you.

Even your name is
mysterious, Lokun Dharma.

Lokun Nihua Dharma.

You see? What a name.

I can't even pronounce it.

Oh, it means, "Ocean of Wisdom;"

but I like Tom Tom too.

You still haven't told me

why you made me leave the lab.

Leave us for a moment, please.

Yes, Great Brother.

It's a good thing you didn't mention

the disappearance of the
Kapitron from Groven.

If word gets out to the five provinces,

there'll be general panic.

Sir, even I haven't
been told about Kapitron.

Is it really so dangerous?

Yes, unfortunately.

It was the discovery of the
most ingenious scientists

that Metropolis has had in
this century, Dr. Krespin.

It has the power to modify
a man's cell structure

and transmute him into
some sort of monstrosity

with superhuman powers.

And the Groven Institute
funded this kind of research?

He could do virtually what he wanted,

until Barbara Gibson
happened to stumble upon

the horrendous results
of this new radiation

and promptly notified me.

Kraspin was apprehended,

his research stopped and
the Kapitron confiscated.

He was put away in the
metal control satellite

but two years ago he was rescued.

Nick, we must find out
where Kraspin is being kept.

I suggest you contact
Ms. Gibson, immediately.

All right, sir.

Metropolis security, acknowledge.

Delta 240 request acknowledgement.

Well, it looks pretty
bad, doesn't it, Kip?

We're off course

and our auto navigation
computer system's out,

and they can't hear a word I'm saying.

Red alert, red alert.

I wonder what in
is going on in Metropolis?

Metropolis security, acknowledge.

Metro, can you hear me?

Metropolis security, acknowledge.

Metro!

They've got their problems,

but I've got mine.

I've asked them three times
to replace that thing.

Are your circuits clogged or something?

This is no time for games.

Who programmed you, anyway?

If you wanna play games,
go outside and play.

It's all right, Kip.

Don't worry, boy.

We'll get outta this somehow.

You know, the worst
that can happen to us

is we'll spend 2000 years
in suspended animation.

Well, still beats a desk job.

Why, that looks like one of
our old command ships, Kip.

I think I'll follow it.

Sire, that old X 37 is
sending in a stress signal.

Ignore it.

He's not answering us.

Where in the cosmos did that
space jockey get his license?

Which is why everything would seem

to point to Dr. Kraspin.

Don't you agree?

I can't believe it,

all my friends at the Groven Institute.

You can thank your lucky stars

you left the institute when you did.

Did anyone warn you?

Tom Tom!

Is that Tom Tom?

Yes, he's my pupil.

Who is he, anyway?

And who are they?

I don't know.

What strange garments they're wearing.

I really have no idea who they are.

Let's ask him.

Who were those two, kid?

Foreigners.

That much I could see.

- What did they want?
- Nothing.

They were talking to you, Tom Tom.

Yes they were, but they
didn't want anything.

Tom Tom, what made me
leave the institute today?

A premonition, Barbara.

Some people might call it a hunch.

Maybe so, kid.

But I'd say she was damn lucky.

In any case, we'd better
get down to business.

Now I want you to tell
me everything you know

about the Kapitron and Dr. Kraspin.

We have a
19 second vector, sire.

Activate the retro rockets.

Satisfied, my lady?

I never am, Kraspin, and you know it.

How can I be when I know the
effect will only last one day?

Didn't I promise you the
formula once we left Noxon?

Patience, my lady.

Meanwhile, his Lordship's bed

will continue to be graced

by your undiminishing beauty.

But remember my lady,

science may have conquered age,

but it will never succeed
in conquering death.

So your powerful friend has come,

just as he'd promised.

His lordship always keeps his promises,

especially when it's in
his interest to do so.

Remember that, Kraspin.

And remember, if it hadn't been for me,

you'd still be in
mental control satellite

and under constant sedation.

I used every resource at my disposal

to set you up here.

And we both know why, don't we?

The serums formula is not
such a high price to pay

considering all I've done for you,

and I want it before we leave Noxon.

Don't you trust me Lady Agatha?

Don't I give you daily doses?

You haven't aged one minute

since you've been here, have you?

I trust no one and you know it.

Welcome to Noxon, my omnipotent Lord.

You are more beautiful
than I remember, Lady Agatha.

One might say time has stopped for you.

My compliments, Dr. Kraspin.

You and my lady have created

an extraordinary base of operations.

For you, Sire, and your
conquest of Metropolis.

Which won't be an easy task.

Apart from manpower and equipment,

Metropolis also possesses
vast nuclear reserves.

My plan is deceptively simple, Sire.

I shall create for you
an army of humanoids,

indestructible human robots.

All I need is a secret element,

which I hope you've obtained for me.

I have.

The attack on the institute

went exactly according to plan.

And the girl, was she killed?

Unfortunately, Barbara
Gibson was not at the institute

when my men attacked.

But tell me, why do
you hate her so much?

She destroyed years of my work,

committed me to an asylum!

Only her death can satisfy me.

I am certain we shall
have another opportunity.

I'm gonna have a look in the rear,

see if I can free up the positrons.

Gimme a buzz on channel two

if the functional light comes on.

That's just the human I need.

I can't figure out what's wrong.

I can't control her, Kip.

Great, it's like we're being
sucked into a magnetic void!

Forget you? On the contrary.

Four years of exile, my lady,

merely sharpened my
desire to see you again.

It is very gratifying for me

to know that I've been in
your thoughts all this time.

As you can see, you've
been in mine as well.

And all this work is to help you regain

the power that is rightfully yours.

It is a great honor for me

to be loved by the future
ruler of Metropolis

and the entire galaxy.

So that's what you're after, power?

Yes, but only if I
can share it with you.

Your Lordship, Lady
Agatha, come quickly.

I'm about to create my first humanoid!

I may be wrong, but I think we've landed

on one of the moons in the Chloe system.

The atmosphere is the
same as on our planet.

If that's the case,

there should be a Metropolis settlement.

When that ship entered the
gravitational field of Noxon,

my probes revealed that
he's a giant of a man

in optimum health,

so I captured him by
blocking his generators

with magnetic discharges.

Are you quite sure he's
suitable for the experiment?

Suitable?

He's perfect!

How will you transmute
him into a humanoid?

That micro warhead holds

barely one gram of crystallized Kapitron

activated by a micro nuclear charge,

which will trigger the mutation;

and we will be able to
evaluate the results

right after the explosion.

Remember Kraspin, more than
your reputation is at stake.

If you should fail?

Kraspin is as dedicated to your success

as I am, my lord.

I shook you up, huh?

Yeah, it could be worse.

Little silicone tranquilizer
will call me down.

I suppose I have to go back

and salvage one of those exonophones

so we can set up a distress signal.

You know Kip, you robodogs have

quite an advantage over us men.

You don't have to fill out reports.

See you in a micro minute.

It worked, it worked!

He has been transmuted from
a human into a humanoid.

Your Lordship, Lady Agatha,

I want you to witness in person

a demonstration of
what a humanoid can do.

He's rather irritated, isn't he?

Look at him, he fights before he thinks!

How do we stop him now?

With a very special narcotic gas.

I'll show you.

You see my lord and lady,

this is the sensor that now
controls the creature's brain.

With this sensor,

the humanoid will obey
any impulse we feed him.

Good, then we'll take him

to Metropolis tonight.

I'm certain security has been tightened

since the attack on Groven.

So much the better.

It will be a full test of his powers.

May I know his first command?

Very well, I shall order
him to kill the Great Brother.

Yes, deprived of their ruler,

Metropolis will be at your mercy.

When will the main
Kapitron warhead be ready?

In one week.

In seven days, Metropolis
will be populated

by an army of humanoids at your command.

Humanoid, you shall
be the first of your kind

to strike terror into
the hearts of my enemies.

You shall march into the capitol

and you shall not stop until my brother

lies crushed to a pulp at your feet.

Metropolis
dead ahead, sire.

Prepare to take the humanoid down.

You're to leave him
just outside the city.

Very good, your lordship.

Cut off magnetic reverb.

It could start up the alarm.

Extinguish reactors
for a silent touchdown.

That's it, let's go.

The rendering of useful service

should be the common duty of mankind.

Every right implies a responsibility,

every opportunity an obligation.

No one can enter the
city without permission.

Do you have a pass?

Sound the alarm, quick!

Halt where you are!

Sector four security breach.

Intruder must stop.

Intruder must stop.

Stop in the name of the law!

All security
forces intruder alert.

Shoot him, there's a new law!

All security forces,

intruder alert.

Sector six security breach.

Sector six security breach.

Intruder must stop.

Keep clear of him.

In the name of the new law,

shoot him dead.

Protect the palace at any cost!

What is it, Nick?

Great Brother, you must
leave the building at once.

There is some sort of mutant outside

and he's headed this way.

We can't seem to stop him.

None of our weapons
have any effect on him.

Sir, you've given me a very special task

and I'm trying to carry it out.

Now Groven has been refortified

and you can assume control there.

It's the only place where
I can guarantee your safety

and that of the five elders.

Alright Nick, I'll go.

This way, sir.

He's at the Groven Institute.

Go to the Groven Institute.

You said this thing
emerged unharmed after laser,

neurotoxic and micro
nuclear strikes against it?

Yes sir, he seems indestructible.

The nuclear shells only
seem to make him stronger.

Then I know this has to be
Kapitron we're dealing with.

What else can you tell me?

Just that during the struggle,

one of my men found this.

Item 1X-5A confirmed

ID badge of Metropolis
colony inspector Golob,

departed two years ago,

bound for Chloe.

First to volunteer,

contact lost en route,

presumed missing or terminated.

Wait a minute, I've heard of him.

He's a big, kind, gentle person.

Not anymore, I'm afraid.

That part of him no longer exists.

I want to know who's behind this.

We have no enemies outside our galaxy.

I'm afraid the enemy is
coming from closer quarters.

What, even inside the galaxy?

- It can only be Graal.
- My brother.

We're on red alert.

Everyone at his station.

Sir.

Maybe there's still a chance, sir,

but we have to hurry.

That's what you think.

No one can stop that human monster.

But we have to try.

This way.

That's it, sir.

It's our only hope.

That ball is made of Krypton metal,

but this special press we've
placed it in is even stronger.

Now watch.

It has the force of 800,000 krikes.

No structure can resist that.

That's the reason I
brought you to Groven.

Kraspin, Graal would
like news of the humanoid.

I have synthesized him

on the Great Brother's magnetic field.

Tell him not to worry.

The humanoid will find
his brother and kill him.

Where is he now?

Groven.

Groven, Barbara Gibson
must be there now.

Get back!

Barbara Gibson, first
kill Barbara Gibson.

First kill Barbara Gibson.

Are you hurt?

No.

I don't know who we have to thank,

but I'm sure in Helios grateful.

Lord Commander.

What is it?

We're about to
enter their security sector.

Well, what of it?

Your brother
has called a full alert.

We'll be vulnerable to attack.

I would like to stay,

but it's not worth the risk.

Order the new rec
commandos on Metropolis

to keep an eye on the humanoid,

and launch a scout ship
for reinforcements.

We'll keep out of their security sector.

Yes, your lordship.

What's wrong, Barbara?

Our lives are in danger

and I can't find the
counter-humanoid notes I took.

They are our only hope.

Get her!

Get away, Tom Tom!

Tom Tom, run away, quick!

May your essence return to your body.

Let me reach into your
heart and into your soul.

Tom Tom, somebody help me save Tom Tom.

Tom Tom!

He was headed this way

before we lost his signal.

I'll go look over here.

Hey, look, I found the girl!

I knew you were in danger.

Come, Barbara.

Thank God you always
turn up at the right time.

I'm your best pupil.

And who are those two
strangers who saved my life?

They are keepers of an ancient right.

But how did you-

I mean, with the humanoid?

You have nothing to
fear from him anymore.

He is no longer controlled by anyone.

Tom Tom, who are you?

Lokani Wawa Dharm.

Have faith in me, I am here to help you.

Come on Golob, I'm your friend.

My name is Barbara.

Barbara, say it.

Barbara.

You're learning fast.

If only he were able to understand,

maybe he could help us

and tell us where Dr.
Kraspin and Graal are.

We could try something with
the help of our new friend.

Concentrate as hard as you
can on Graal and Dr. Kraspin.

Look, Golob.

Look and remember.

Please, try to speak.

You have to tell us where they are.

Where's Dr. Kraspin and Graal?

Nah, nah, Noxon.

Oh, Golob, you did it!

Go on, try it again, please.

Noxon.

Noxon is a moon in the Chloe system.

Yes, I have to get this

to Nick and the Great Brother.

Oh, thank you, Golob.

Look after each other!

Come.

Now you will sleep.

And while you sleep,

you will remember more of who you are.

You will see yourself
as human once again.

I'll help you become your real self.

Trust me, friend.

Trust your own humanity.

They've taken Barbara!

If Dr. Kraspin gets his hands on her,

even I can't help!

You're crying, that is the
most vital sign of all.

Your humanity is returning.

Dr. Kraspin's
former assistant, My Lord.

What about the humanoid?

Did he kill the Great Brother?

No, the Great Brother is still alive.

He will crush you like a worm.

Take her away.

Tell me what happened.

The humanoid failed
to follow your orders, sire,

and we lost contact.

Back to Noxon.

I'll hear what Kraspin says about this.

To attack Noxon head-on

is too much of a risk to its population.

I understand that,

but Barbara Gibson's life is in danger.

The same applies to all of us.

Sir, let me go.

A single commando raid

is our only chance of rescuing Barbara

and recovering the Kapitron.

If you
think there's a ray of hope,

go, but not on your own.

Hey, hey!

Let him approach.

Golob go.

Barbara my friend.

Now I know there's hope.

Hey, I think we got company.

What in Helios are you doing here?

I was going your way,

so I thought I would
come along with you.

Kid, you gotta be
outta your gravity zone.

What do you do for an encore, anyway?

I suppose you can
fly one of these ships.

Of course, it's much
easier than levitating.

All I can say is,

you're one of the weirdest
little kids I've ever met.

Now I want you to tell me

how you managed to sneak
into the space terminal.

I just had a little talk
with the guards, eye to eye.

Well, I'll be disintegrated.

Kid, one of these days

you're gonna have to teach
me a few of your tricks.

We're gonna need some kind of help,

that's for sure.

Welcome back to Noxon, sire.

Ah, Ms. Gibson, are you prepared

to pay for the wrongs you've done me?

You are going to pay
as well, Dr. Kraspin,

for your warped and evil doings.

I'm sure nothing, not even my death,

is going to prevent that.

That's enough, Kraspin.

This prize is as much
mine as it is yours

and I won't have it damaged.

Take her away.

The problem at hand,
Kraspin, is not the girl.

Your obsessive vindictiveness

has already cost me
several valuable men.

What I want to know

is why the humanoid's mission

was only partially successful.

Well, the sensor must have
been damaged during the fight.

I lost contact,

but it's much less likely to happen

with an army of humanoids.

I hope so.

For your sake, Kraspin.

We're entering into
Noxon's magnetic field.

It's time to be switching
on retro rockets.

There they go.

They're onto us!

Hold tight!

I guess I gotta get
used to fighting back.

Tom Tom, you said you
could fly this bucket.

Well, let's see you.

Oh!

Let's go in with
Hyper-Galactic Stellar Ray.

Those six idiots couldn't
blow up an old trash can.

What in Helios happened?

Golob saved our lives.

He managed to land the ship.

All I can say is I'm glad
you decided to come along.

Where are we anyway?

It's Noxon all right

and from the looks of it,

I'd say we're stranded.

It's a robodog,

a cannapack X3, government issue.

A nice specimen, too.

I wonder what he's doing here.

He wants his master to follow him.

So where's his master?

Right here.

Try and remember, Golob.

Kip!

Kip!

I think he wants to show us something.

Let's find out what, come on!

I wonder what that
rocket's for in the hangar.

They've got something
big going on down there.

I think Graal is
as crazy as that scientist.

Lady Agatha never
could pick the right man.

Now, if she'd given me a chance, I'd-

Hey, what's that?

It's an animal.

No it's not, you idiot.

It's a robot, and maybe it's Graal's.

Maybe it's hungry.

Kip, quickly!

What's going on?

When this missile hits Metropolis,

the warhead will explode,

radiating Kapitron throughout
the planetary atmosphere.

And then, then my Lord,

you'll have an army of humanoids.

Once I regain Metropolis,

we can move on to conquer
the rest of the galaxy.

Preparations for launching.

I'll be two nuggets of iridium

they'll be blasting off within an hour.

But first we must find Barbara.

Barbara.

As you can see, Kraspin
and I have kept our promise.

And I shall keep mine, my lady.

Help me carry out my plan

and you shall be my queen,

just as I promised.

There are several
details I must clear up.

Meet me in my laboratory in one hour.

Hey, where are you coming from?

Stop!

Now you will come with us.

Graal will be glad to see you.

Come on.

An ideal specimen, wouldn't you say?

I know you're watching, my lady.

She's going to be the
most potent dose of serum

I've ever given you.

Stop where you are!

Barbara!

Don't worry, Barbara.

We're gonna get you out
here no matter what.

The humanoid's
fighting for them,

it's not possible!

Kill him.

Be careful!

Cover us, kid.

You are going to pay for this,

Kraspin, you inept fool.

Wait, I can still neutralize them.

Narcotic gas.

Quick, the whole room's
gonna fill up with gas.

The pains!

Kraspin, I need the serum.

Hold on for a few minutes,

we'll be on Graal's ship soon.

Come on, Barbara.

That seals us off.

No one can get in or out of here now.

Is the rocket ready?

Yes.

Can we board the ship now, my lord?

Prepare for the final countdown.

Kraspin, Kraspin.

My muscles are stiffening, I'm cold.

Why won't you give me the serum?

My lady, I told you,
it's on the spaceship.

- It's blocked.
- We're trapped!

Go cut them off.

All of you!

Get them!

Keep them away from the missile.

Stay here and keep outta sight.

Kill them!

How horrible.

Dr. Kraspin was keeping
her eternally young

with that dreadful machine of his.

Your life fluids would've
only brought her

one more day of beauty.

Start the
reactors, we're leaving.

No one can stop
me now, princely hero.

Come on, fight.

What can you do against me?

I'm not afraid of you, Graal.

You are as stupid
and helpless as my brother.

I can sport with you no longer.

He's vanished.

He incarnated evil

and evil will never
disappear from the universe.

We can only continue to fight it.

Barbara, let's get out of here!

It's going to blow up.

Where's Golob?

We have to wait for him!

We can't wait for
him any longer, come on.

Come on, Kip! Hurry!

What's he going to do?

I don't know,
but he's got the Kapitron.

Golob, our brave friend.

He killed himself.

He killed himself to save us

and Metropolis from destruction.

Hey, look!

It's Golob, he's still alive!

The lion has
turned back into the lamb,

he's himself again!

Where in Helios am I?

Golob, how
wonderful, you're still alive!

What?

You look good in a beard.

Well, I've always had a beard.

No, you have not.

Don't you recognize me?

- B-Barbara.
- Yes!

And Nick, and Tom Tom and Kip!

Kip!

What's going on here, boy?

This is my robodog.

I know, we've been friends
for quite a long time.

Forgive me, Barbara.

I must have banged my head on something.

Those two here again?

It can't be.

I summoned them, I must leave.

Tom Tom, whoever you are.

Please stay with us.

My work is finished here, Barbara.

I must return to my home.

They are waiting for me.

Today's the day of light

and I shall remain in each of you

like a faint yet eternal glow.

We are going back to the
sacred land of Tibet,

to a time many ages in the past.

Listen to your heartbeat
and you will hear my name,

and you my friends will
always be part of me.

Once again, Planet Earth

had narrowly escaped disaster.

Once again it had found in itself

the intelligence, the
insight and the strength

to repel a mortal enemy.

Once again, man was to live
at peace in the galaxy.
