00:00In the year 2040, one hero fights to save our dying planet, the Phantom.
00:30In the year 2040, one hero fights to save our dying planet, the Phantom.
01:00All of nature is a circle, and the continued existence of every living creature depends as much on what is still to come as it does on what has come before.
01:10Sometimes the circle can seem vicious, but it is always necessary if this planet hopes to survive.
01:17As the 24th Phantom, I too am part of the circle, of fathers and sons stretching back almost 500 years.
01:24And like all those before me, I will do whatever I must to make certain that circle remains unbroken.
01:32Graved here. What is your status, 238?
01:35Situation remains normal, Commander Graved.
01:37Hmm, that's what the captains of the last two air freighters said, just before they disappeared.
01:42Transmit cargo visual, now.
01:46Cargo hold cameras coming online, Commander.
01:48As you can monitor, there is no leakage from the radiation seals.
01:52Therefore, this cargo of transuranic elements remains secure.
01:56Transmit all flight sensor data immediately, including long-range mass detector readings.
02:01Mass detector confirms no other vehicle within interception range, only an anomalous wind disturbance.
02:06What's wrong with your programming?
02:08Upload that anomalous reading at once!
02:11I see the Alice Springs dead ahead, Graved.
02:14ETA in 20? No, make that 15 seconds.
02:17Well done. You have located the air freighter in record time.
02:21See? Playing all those virtual games with sparks did pay off.
02:25I don't think we're going to get any action today.
02:28There's no other traffic in the area.
02:29Still, if those missing air freighters have been crashing into the ocean as we fear,
02:35their toxic cargoes could upset the ocean's ecological balance for decades.
02:39It doesn't matter if the crashes are accidents,
02:42or some mad plan of Rebecca's to poison the oceans for the maximum error.
02:45It's up to us to make certain it doesn't happen again.
02:48There's still no sign the freighter's detected me.
02:52Are you online, Sparks?
02:54Ready to catch soft jet controls whenever you toss them to me!
02:57Don't be too eager, pal.
02:58You just back up in case anything goes.
03:01Stand by, base.
03:02Garand, the neutron scanners are picking up an odd signal from the air freighter's cargo hold.
03:07Can the jet's analytical identify the cause of the signal?
03:10No.
03:11And since I can't risk contacting the freighter's crew directly,
03:14I guess I'll have to investigate in person.
03:23Tossing control to you, Sparks.
03:25Take her up a safe distance and wait for my signal.
03:27Yeah!
03:28I mean, Sparks online.
03:32Inductance rope.
03:33Anchor.
03:41Whoa.
03:42I wonder how the other phantoms felt about heights.
03:47I have misgivings about this.
03:50If anything goes wrong, there's nothing we can do to help him.
03:53The phantom has learned his lessons well, Professor.
03:55He will help himself.
03:57It is we who have the hard job.
03:59We must wait.
04:00So much for the easy part.
04:02Now all I need is a way in.
04:05None of these data shows a wind anomaly.
04:08Rescan the area immediately.
04:09Captain, are you listening to me?
04:13Excuse me, Commander.
04:14For an instant, it appeared as if the freighter gained mass.
04:17How much mass?
04:18Where?
04:19Focus all scanners on the freighter itself.
04:22As you wish, Commander.
04:23Malfunction.
04:25Malfunction.
04:31What's happening?
04:32Number 238, status report.
04:35Energy disrupting circuitry.
04:37Losing control.
04:39Activating shielding to compensate.
04:40238, answer me.
04:51Garage!
04:52The whole ship is coming apart.
04:56Tell Sparks to bring down the soft jet.
04:59Fast!
04:59The jet is on its way, Pendleton.
05:06A real smart move, kid.
05:08Jump out of a jet.
05:09Climb out an air freighter.
05:10What could go wrong?
05:13Airships suffering major damage.
05:15Analyticals report total destruction in...
05:18No!
05:21Not enough!
05:23Analyticals regret to report this situation
05:25is not covered by air freighter warranty.
05:28Come on, Sparks.
05:30We're not playing for high scores here.
05:32I know, but I've got to match the freighter's rate of descent exactly
05:35or we'll collide.
05:37Time's up.
05:38Catch me if you can!
05:39Catch me if you can!
05:58Someone's going to pay for this.
06:02Anytime, Sparks!
06:05Easy, easy.
06:11Just keep her steady, Sparks.
06:12The rest is up to me.
06:15Anchor!
06:21Now, Sparks!
06:22Pull up!
06:23Pull up!
06:23You're all right?
06:39Other than my arms being a meter longer.
06:41Great flying, Sparks.
06:42I owe you a free game.
06:45Professor Archer,
06:47were the Analyticals able to determine what destroyed the freighter?
06:49I can't make any sense of their readings, Kit.
06:51Then I'll collect samples of the water and debris from the crash site.
06:55Maybe they'll tell us more about what happened.
06:57And why.
06:57I still don't know why you're all so worried about a toxic spill thousands of kilometers from here.
07:12Think, if you can, of life as a vast pond.
07:16And any ripple that disturbs the pond eventually reaches everywhere.
07:21Even Neutropia.
07:23So, how bad is it?
07:25You might not believe this, Kit,
07:26but the samples from the crash site are absolutely clean.
07:30Not a trace of radioactive toxins anywhere.
07:33But that's impossible, isn't it?
07:35We all saw the freighter dump its cargo when it exploded.
07:38True, but we could be overlooking the obvious.
07:41What if there were no toxins in the water to begin with?
07:44Meaning the crates were empty or carrying something worthless.
07:48That way the real cargo could be removed before the freighters were launched
07:51and the explosions would cover up the theft.
07:53We've got to find out who's been stealing the air freighter's cargo and why
07:56before there's a real disaster.
08:03Ask me if I'm pleased, Kraft.
08:06Do I look pleased?
08:07I followed the security analytical's plan to the last detail.
08:10Then I suggest you reprogram them before I have to reprogram you.
08:15You can't threaten me anymore.
08:17Remember, I have your private files on the Sector Zero crash.
08:21If I lose this company, those files you stole won't help you survive.
08:26The shipments we lost were absolutely critical to Cyberville's particle beam defenses.
08:31Hmm.
08:33Baudelaire is unfamiliar with this definition of the word defense.
08:38Isn't the Cyberville particle cannon designed to kill
08:41thousands of Metropia's good citizens before they can attack?
08:45Be quiet, Max.
08:48Darling, at least there's an upside to this situation.
08:52Now I know who's behind this sabotage.
08:55That spineless stringer, Sean Wan.
08:58My analyticals disagree.
09:00Sean Wan needs maximum support to provide the orbital platforms with raw materials from Earth.
09:06Unless he's gone into business for himself.
09:08I have found no evidence to suggest...
09:10Then find some!
09:11If your incompetence costs maximum one more shipment,
09:14it will cost you a great deal more than just an arm and a leg.
09:17Files or no files, do I make myself clear?
09:20Yes, polymer crystal.
09:23I will attend to the next shipment personally.
09:26Analytical.
09:27Screen off.
09:28And try that call to Gorda again.
09:31Good time, mate.
09:33What's up?
09:34Besides you, that is.
09:37Ah, Gorda, we appear to have a small problem.
09:42Is that all?
09:43Sure, me lad.
09:45Compared to Gorda, everything's small.
09:53Phantom 2040 returns after these messages.
09:59This is no laughing matter, madam.
10:03Well, aren't you the serious one?
10:08Gorda's already nailed you three shipments of trans-uranic elements,
10:12all the way from Antarctica,
10:14and courtesy of Maximum Inc.
10:18My third shipment has yet to arrive.
10:20Is that what's got you all hot and bothered, mate?
10:24Well, your latest precious shipment should be docking just about...
10:29now.
10:30Cargo Clipper arriving from Australia's space center, sir.
10:36You asked to be informed?
10:38According to this,
10:39the only name connected to all three of Maximum's missing shipments is...
10:42Gorda.
10:43A smuggler and a thief like the pirates of old.
10:46And like Hanoi Zan before her,
10:48she commands an international criminal empire
10:50with tentacles that reach everywhere,
10:53even into orbital space.
10:55Are you sure the full shipment is intact?
11:12Affirmative.
11:14You may make light of this, madam,
11:17but I assure you it is no joke.
11:19What I have wrought with your materials
11:21will change the history of all humanity.
11:26Behold.
11:27Damocles' platform,
11:29whose unstoppable particle beam
11:31will force the obstinate city-states of Earth
11:34to take the pre-orbital movement seriously
11:37and grant us independence and resources
11:40so we may build the space colonies
11:43that are humanity's only hope
11:44for the future.
11:46Yeah, yeah.
11:48Good on ya.
11:50So what else is on your mind?
11:52I need only one more shipment
11:54to complete my weapon.
11:55But now,
11:56the lecker cybernetic puppet
11:58will be personally supervising security.
12:01Gorda's with ya, mate.
12:03That means we can't just switch the crates
12:06before the airship takes off
12:07like we done before.
12:09We let Maximum know
12:10the next freighter with the real cargo
12:12right under Graf's nose.
12:13Then we hijack the whole lot
12:15while it's airborne.
12:16Don't you worry, cobber.
12:19Old Gorda will make certain
12:20you get what's coming to ya.
12:22As long as you keep paying her.
12:25Proper.
12:26Gorda's happy to sell you
12:28the old ruddy planet.
12:34Apologies, citizen.
12:35But you may not enter this facility
12:37without the proper clearances.
12:38But my brother works here.
12:41My programming does not allow me
12:43to make exceptions.
12:44Very well.
12:45I'll obtain the proper clearances.
12:47That would be best, citizen.
12:49Then I'll have you sold for salvage.
12:55I'm hunting, my friend.
12:59The loading will be complete
13:00in seven minutes, Master Madison.
13:03It's about time.
13:04Mother would like her cargo
13:06delivered sometime this century.
13:07I'm bored, Baudelaire.
13:21After two days, you'd think
13:22there'd be some sign of trouble.
13:25All scanners show clear,
13:26Master Madison.
13:27Alas, the cries of Tete Deum.
13:30Baudelaire.
13:38We're having an adventure.
13:43We are under attack, sir,
13:45from a vessel of unknown origin.
13:47I will increase forward thrust
13:48to break...
13:49Apologies, citizen.
13:54Surrender and you will not be injured.
13:57Too bad the same can't be said for you.
14:00This just gets better.
14:02I hope you brought a parachute, Max.
14:04Surrender or be deactivated.
14:09You're right.
14:10There is such a thing as too much fun.
14:13Aim.
14:14Lock.
14:15Fire!
14:19The phantom.
14:28Why is he interfering in my affairs?
14:31Is he working for Maximum?
14:33Nah.
14:34Hardly, mate.
14:36Rebecca would pay good credits
14:37to see his mask nailed to a Gullivar tree.
14:42Then this might be her lucky day.
14:49Maintain fire.
14:51Opposition must be deactivated.
15:00And I thought the outside of an air freighter was tricky?
15:08Now what?
15:11Where'd you come from?
15:14From your worst nightmare.
15:16The action continues
15:21after these messages.
15:24You won't get away with this cargo, phantom.
15:27You think that I...
15:30First your assault buy-ups, phantom,
15:36then you.
15:39Craft, you fool!
15:41The phantom happens to be on our side
15:43for a change.
15:44I'm in charge here.
15:46Trust me, tin man.
15:48The Vyaks are attacking Mother's cargo
15:50and him.
15:51So get back here
15:52and defend us!
15:56I know I'm going to regret this.
16:06Back to talk, madam.
16:07Where'd these clankers come from?
16:09And what are you doing here?
16:12Craft!
16:13Over there!
16:14Fire!
16:14Fire!
16:16Too late!
16:17Too late!
16:31They're stealing the cargo!
16:34Not on my ship.
16:36Drop it!
16:36Fire!
16:36Fire!
16:37Fire!
16:38Fire!
16:38Fire!
16:39Fire!
16:39Fire!
16:39Fire!
16:40Fire!
16:40Fire!
16:41Fire!
16:42Fire!
16:42Fire!
16:43Fire!
16:44Fire!
16:45Fire!
16:46Fire!
16:46Fire!
16:46Fire!
16:50Graf, give me your hand!
16:57Stay away from me!
16:58I've been through worse on the ice
17:00and in the Amazon.
17:02Fire!
17:02Fire!
17:03Fire!
17:03It can't be saved.
17:30It can't be saved.
17:32Restart the engines.
17:33Look at the controls.
17:34They're useless.
17:35Perhaps not if you rewire the controls beneath the damage.
17:40Maybe.
17:41But I'll need the captain of the controls.
17:45Now that may prove a bit of a problem.
17:47I can handle the controls.
17:49Now hurry, we haven't much time.
17:51Apparently it would be best if you began with the ignition circuits.
18:05Done.
18:06Now what?
18:07Maybe if that cat knows what it's talking about.
18:16Since Baudelaire doesn't like swimming, I suggest you pull up now.
18:23We made it.
18:37Well, I wonder what Mother will give you for saving my life.
18:41I'd suggest something quick and painless.
18:44Think about it, Graft.
18:45We don't have to go back to what we were.
18:47Unfortunately, Mother doesn't allow Commander Graft to...
18:54You're making this too easy, ghost who walked.
18:59And what about my cargo Graft?
19:01Due to unforeseen circumstances, most of it was lost.
19:04What a fitting epitaph that will make for your gravestone.
19:08Here lies Hubert Graft, due to unforeseen circumstances.
19:13But, we did gain an unexpected bonus.
19:17Graft!
19:18You're a genius.
19:20I'll arrange for a rescue transport to rendezvous with you within the hour.
19:25And, just as a favor to me,
19:28See that the biot-medics surgically separate the Phantom from his neuromolecular mask.
19:35While he's still alive.
19:38Fire the soft jet engines.
19:40We have a rendezvous to make.
19:43You know you're gonna let me go, Graft.
19:46We are on the same side this time.
19:48You're wasting your breath.
19:50Look, my investigation ties Gorda into the cargo thefts,
19:53and I know you know she's working for Shaun One.
19:56Despite our differences, you and I believe in the Earth's survival.
19:59But Shaun One's a terrorist who plans to destroy our world.
20:02You know I'm right, Graft.
20:04You know what kind of weapon Shaun One can build with the materials he's stolen.
20:07It's too late.
20:08Even if I did agree with you, the rescue transport is only a minute away.
20:12Just release me, Graft. A minute is all I need.
20:26What took you so long?
20:35Graft! What's happened to Max?
20:40Where's the Phantom?
20:42The Phantom put him to sleep before he vanished into thin air.
20:45Maybe he really is a ghost.
20:47Med team, take care of my son.
20:49Security team, I want that freighter searched immediately.
20:52No trace of any life form, Ms. Madison.
20:58Would someone please tranquilize that irritating little beast?
21:02Miserable creature.
21:07I'm not giving you a birth in Cyberville, no matter what Max says.
21:22Perhaps you could cut the timing a bit closer next time.
21:25It's nice to know someone worries about me.
21:46A perfect raid.
21:48Absolutely perfect.
21:50Not Graft.
21:51Not the Madisons.
21:53Not even the Phantom can stand against me now.
21:56All because Gorda delivers what she promises.
22:01I have everything I need to finish Damocles' platform.
22:05It's about time, mate.
22:08Who you gonna shine it on first?
22:11It's a simple decision, madam.
22:14Since Rebecca Madison and her company have outlived their usefulness to me,
22:20the free orbital's first target will be Metropia itself.
22:25Please stay tuned for more of Phantom 20.
