Here we have maximum downrange exposure.

Perfect... you see the satellite will pass

within our range of frequency in exactly

10 seconds, at which time I will send the

activating signal.

Words do not impress me doctor.

I want results.

Look there. 200 meters from the ridge.

The rock formation?

Not anymore.

Awesome power dr. Fessenden.

But useless unless you're able to control it.

You can't expect this worthless box to be

equal to the technology of the ancients.

Help me find the station where the satellite controls are.

Then I'll show you real power.

You'd better be right about this Fessenden.

That station is in grith's territory.

So? The grith are peaceful creatures.

They don't even have any weapons to stop us.

You'll be wise to fear the grith dr.

Their land is strange and their power is great.

There must be someone we can send in.

There's only one person who can travel

safely through the grith territories.

Jack Tenrec.

In the 26th century, mankind faces an epic struggle for survival.

The forces of nature have spun wildly out of control.

Mighty cities have crumbled.

And the dinosaurs have returned to reclaim the earth.

In this savage land, one man stands alone.

Jack Tenrec.

Defending humanity in a world gone mad.

A world where only the strong survive.

A world of…

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs!

This new turbo should make her really move, eh Jack?

I still wouldn't want to get caught between a shivat

and his dinner dish, but yeah she'll really move.

Did all the ancients drive cadillacs?

Only in their dreams.

Jack Tenrec. Stand by for an official communication from

Governor Scharnhorst. Acknowledged?

Official communication?

She must have had a big breakfast this morning.

- Tenrec... acknowledge... - Tenrec, you're there?

This is Scharnhorst. Pick up.

I'm busy. What do you want?

Get over to the city, we need to talk.

I've got nothing to say to you.

Alright then I'll handle the grith my way.

What about the grith?

City. Now.

Solar power Tenrec.

The power of the Sun turned into energy.

Unlimited energy to rebuild the City in the Sea.

To grind flour for bread for the people.

Stop you're making me cry.

What's this about the grith?

We discovered a solar satellite.

Impossible no satellite survived the seismic upheavals.

This one did.

This is my chief scientist dr. Fessenden.

Tell him what you know dr.

The satellite is controlled by a station, here, in the unknown lands.

Unknown to you maybe, not to the grith.

It's their home, they'll never let you in there.

That's why we need you Tenrec.

This satellite will bring the power of the universe to us.

I'm not leading you into grith territory, forget it.

Suit yourself.

I'll just have to send in the army.

Of course I can't be responsible for the nature-loving grith...

... if they get in the way.

You know, I thought solar power was just a dream of the ancients.

What exactly do we know about the discovery?

Look, can you lay off the questions for a while?

I'm a scientist is my job to ask questions.

And why did you ask me to come?

Because Scharnhorst doesn't care about the people.

She's got to be lying about the satellite.

When we find that control station I'll need your opinion.

Really?

Don't let it go to your head.

What's Tenrec up to now?

He's heading to the unknown lands.

Grith territory? He's lost or crazy.

Tenrec's neither. No.

There's something he wants in there.

Something important enough to bring Scharnhorst top scientist.

We'll follow and find out where he's going.

And then we'll make sure he nevers comes back.

Just keep still.

Quiet.

That's old Cyclope's. He's only got one good eye.

If we're quiet and don't move he won't spot us.

No Fessenden!

He's seen us, what now?

We get out of here.

Follow me.

He's gaining.

Hang on!

Where are we going?

Look out!

How you'd know this was here?

I didn't.

Where's Fessenden?

Tenrec! Where are you?

Fessenden! Ride!

It... it...

What's the matter with you? I said...

The, the shivat. Its...

be-behind you!

Get out of the truck!

What?! What?! What?!

Jack?!

Jack what's happening?!

Fessenden! The next time when I tell you to be quiet.

Be quiet!

What's that?

Relax it's just the grith.

As long as we come in peace we've nothing to fear.

But how do they know how we come?

I mean you and I come in peace but I'm not

so sure about Fessenden.

The grith live in total harmony with their world.

They can feel us. Any disruptions in the

energy field is carried to them like a

current through water.

You seem to know a lot about them.

Let's just say we have a common interest.

They are close by.

What?

What's that?

Must be a talisman from the grith.

What's it for?

I don't know. Guess we'll find out.

Qua hoon! What the devil are you screaming about?

It was the grith!

I... I saw them over there...

...and over there are...

Thousands of them!

Well, they're all gone now.

But what if they come back?

What do I do then?

Think nice thoughts.

Not a word.

You're a long way from the city.

What's this?

Here, read this.

Sate..llite.. control.. staten.. station.

What's a satellite?

A powerful weapon miles in space.

The ancients call it a death ray.

I like the sound of that.

How does it work?

You control it by computer. From that ground station.

And you're gonna lead me straight to it.

But I'm working for Scharnhorst.

Forget her.

You're working for me now.

You say anything about us to the others,

and I'll feed you to the grith.

Hobb?

Hobb.

You are in our lands Jack Tenrec.

Why?

I am looking for a great source of power from the Sun.

This is not a wise quest. Take the others and leave.

I know. But if I don't find the power source

others will come to look.

Why can't we not be left in peace?

We ask nothing of anyone.

Yet always the outsiders come.

I hear you, but there's no way this is just going to go away.

I'm trying to help you.

But I need a little more time.

Please, trust me.

Very well, as you are a friend you'll have more time.

I'll send a sign.

What sign? What do you mean?

It will mean that your time in our lands is finished.

Take care Jack Tenrec.

We don't have much time.

We better get moving if we want to find that station.

Now what?

The control station is less than a mile.

We'll travel on foot from here.

Look... the control station!

We found it!

Stand back!

Look a baby zeek.

No wonder we were attacked.

Don't go near it. If it picks up our

scent the mother will abandon it.

Unbelievable it's still here after all these centuries.

Fantastic... incredible.

Bring the batteries.

We'll ned more power.

There's a generator back here.

Yes!

It's working! Finally!

Aiming mechanism?

Targeting sequence?

Wait a minute.

Something's very wrong here.

Defensive operational manual.

This isn't a solar power satellite.

It's a laser weapon!

Hey!

That doesn't concern you!

It concerns me.

Stand back.

No!

No Jack. Wait!

Don't destroy it before we have a chance to study it.

Study what?

How to destroy civilization all over again?

Sounds good to me.

Hammer.

I thought I smelled something.

That's right. Give me a reason to enjoy getting rid of you.

This is my weapon now. And it had better work.

It will as soon as I test the targeting mechanism.

Then let's test it. I just found a perfect target.

So if you have any brilliant ideas

now's the time to hear them.

Come on. Get on it.

Satellite coming into position...

... now.

Any daring rescues. Any clever ruses.

Anything like that. I'm open to suggestions.

Hannah knock it off.

Jack, what's happening?

Target location acquiring.

Target acquired.

Coordinates entered.

Awaiting instructions.

All right let's play boom.

Jack we've got to get out of here.

Jack what, what are you doing?

No Jack, there isn't time. You go!

No!

Not without you.

Jack, you'll never get... what?!

That's what it was for.

Party's over.

We got work to do.

This is the new target.

The City in the Sea?!

After I scorch Scharnhorst kingdom

she'll see who is the real boss.

By tomorrow you can call me governor Hammer.

Did you see that? Something was riding that zeek.

What? You're nuts!

Let's get out of here!

Follow me!

Fools! Griths riding zeeks?

You expect me to believe a story like that?

Now go and check the hills and make sure no one's around.

New target coordinates registered.

Targeting sequence commencing.

The coordinates are set and the laser is recharging.

What's this?

Tenrec!

C'mon.

Targeting coordinates.

Latitude 60 degrees, 34 minutes.

Longitude 80 degrees, 44 minutes.

Jack what are you doing?

The laser's targeted on the City in the Sea.

I'll take care of it.

What's taking so long?

I can't stop it. The override is on.

So bypass the override.

You can't bypass the override. That's what an override is.

Then re aim it. I'll get you new coordinates.

They are re aiming the satellite.

We go in on the count of three.

One... two...

They're re aming the satellite.

Three!

There's that noise again. Let's get out of here!

That's the sign. Our visit is over.

Okay, I'm done.

Hurry!

The laser is targeted to fire in exactly 60 seconds.

Please evacuate the control station immediately.

You targeted the control station?

It's what I should have done the moment I saw this thing.

We're fried.

Wait for me.

Let's get out of here!

The zeek!

No Jack! There isn't time.

30 seconds until to target acquisition.

Still glad you went back for the zeek?

Of course.

Except when I move.

Hey! Why have we stopped?

Jack?

I'm returning the crystal.

But I thought it was a gift.

It was loan.

How do you know that?

Don't you ever stop with the questions?

Nope.
