1
00:01:07,817 --> 00:01:10,570
I can't believe it.
We're finally back to Earth.

2
00:01:10,987 --> 00:01:13,656
Well, what are we waiting for?
[Grunts]

3
00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:25,585
[Pidge] I'll see if I can
get a message out to my dad.

4
00:01:26,002 --> 00:01:28,338
Dad, it's me, Pidge.
Do you copy?

5
00:01:28,421 --> 00:01:31,424
We're back in Earth's solar
system, and heading home now.

6
00:01:31,508 --> 00:01:32,508
[static crackling]

7
00:01:35,053 --> 00:01:37,263
[Sam's voice] To any beings
who receive this message...

8
00:01:37,347 --> 00:01:38,515
Dad, you're okay.

9
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:41,351
- How's Mom and Matt? Is he with you?
- Planet Earth has been...

10
00:01:41,434 --> 00:01:42,685
Most of the citizens...

11
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:45,188
Hold on,
let me try to get a clear signal.

12
00:01:45,355 --> 00:01:47,065
- Have been captured.
- What?

13
00:01:47,148 --> 00:01:48,900
Who's captured?
Dad, what are you saying?

14
00:01:48,983 --> 00:01:51,277
Those of us remaining are
making our last stand.

15
00:01:51,694 --> 00:01:54,948
If you get this message,
please get word to Voltron.

16
00:01:55,031 --> 00:01:57,659
- We need help.
- [display beeping]

17
00:02:02,205 --> 00:02:04,499
Guys, are you seeing this?

18
00:02:04,582 --> 00:02:06,727
[Sam continued] To any beings
who receive this message...

19
00:02:06,751 --> 00:02:07,919
Oh, no.

20
00:02:08,002 --> 00:02:10,839
Planet Earth has been
overrun by the Galra.

21
00:02:10,922 --> 00:02:13,007
The Galra have invaded Earth.

22
00:02:13,091 --> 00:02:14,926
Most of the citizens
have been captured.

23
00:02:15,009 --> 00:02:17,595
Those of us remaining are
making our last stand.

24
00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:22,267
If you get this message,
please get word to Voltron.

25
00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:23,852
We need help.

26
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:28,565
It's not a reply.
It's a distress signal.

27
00:02:29,941 --> 00:02:30,942
Dad.

28
00:02:43,746 --> 00:02:46,040
Admiral Sanda,
how long have I...?

29
00:02:46,124 --> 00:02:48,126
It's been about a
week since you landed.

30
00:02:48,209 --> 00:02:50,712
Sorry, we've had you under
for most of the time.

31
00:02:51,546 --> 00:02:53,798
- A week?
- We had to run tests.

32
00:02:54,132 --> 00:02:56,551
You spent years in
an alien environment.

33
00:02:56,634 --> 00:03:00,305
Look, Sam, the joint chiefs are eager
to hear what you have to tell us.

34
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:03,600
Tell the chiefs I'll
debrief when I'm ready.

35
00:03:03,683 --> 00:03:05,977
There's someone I
need to see first.

36
00:03:11,232 --> 00:03:12,232
[doors close]

37
00:03:19,991 --> 00:03:21,075
Sam.

38
00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:24,286
[Colleen gasps]

39
00:03:26,998 --> 00:03:29,876
Colleen,
I've missed you so much.

40
00:03:30,585 --> 00:03:34,339
I thought you were dead.
I thought I'd never see you again.

41
00:03:34,422 --> 00:03:37,217
[grunts] You're squeezing
me pretty tight.

42
00:03:37,717 --> 00:03:42,055
Being abducted by aliens didn't kill
me, but I think you might.

43
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,433
- Aliens?
- On the Kerberos mission.

44
00:03:45,516 --> 00:03:48,478
Matt, Shiro and I were
taken by hostile aliens.

45
00:03:48,561 --> 00:03:49,979
So Matt is with you?

46
00:03:50,521 --> 00:03:54,567
No, but he's alive and safe.
So is Katie. They're together.

47
00:03:54,651 --> 00:03:58,029
Last time I saw them, they were
just outside the planet Olkarion.

48
00:03:58,112 --> 00:03:59,112
They saved me.

49
00:03:59,948 --> 00:04:03,159
There was a device on my pod,
a transmitter. Where is it?

50
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:07,038
I can use it to contact my children
and the other Paladins, cadets.

51
00:04:07,288 --> 00:04:09,582
I'm afraid we can't allow
you to broadcast yet.

52
00:04:09,666 --> 00:04:14,003
We need more information before you
start sending messages into deep space.

53
00:04:14,087 --> 00:04:16,589
Any contact with alien species
needs to be run through

54
00:04:16,673 --> 00:04:17,799
the appropriate channels.

55
00:04:18,007 --> 00:04:21,135
We need to be sure you're not
putting Earth in danger, Sam.

56
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:24,722
I don't care about your channels.
I want to talk to my children.

57
00:04:24,806 --> 00:04:26,849
And you will, soon.

58
00:04:27,141 --> 00:04:29,310
We just wanna debrief you first.

59
00:04:29,394 --> 00:04:30,478
Tell them what you know,

60
00:04:30,561 --> 00:04:32,855
then we can talk to our
children and get you home.

61
00:04:32,939 --> 00:04:35,858
I'm afraid we can't allow
Sam to leave the premises.

62
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:37,402
We're not prepared
to tell the world

63
00:04:37,485 --> 00:04:40,446
about the existence of
alien life just yet.

64
00:04:40,530 --> 00:04:42,991
Remember,
everyone thinks you're dead.

65
00:04:43,241 --> 00:04:45,535
So you're holding
me like a prisoner?

66
00:04:45,743 --> 00:04:50,039
Not a prisoner. You're free to move
about within the Garrison grounds.

67
00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:51,624
Just until we're ready.

68
00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:54,669
If he's staying,
I'm staying too.

69
00:04:55,211 --> 00:04:57,463
I'm afraid you don't have
the clearance, Colleen.

70
00:04:57,755 --> 00:05:00,591
This is the only
family I have left.

71
00:05:00,675 --> 00:05:02,260
You'll get me the clearance.

72
00:05:05,263 --> 00:05:07,056
- Here's what we know.
- [remote beeps]

73
00:05:07,598 --> 00:05:09,976
Two years ago,
during your Kerberos mission,

74
00:05:10,059 --> 00:05:13,229
our scans picked up an
anomaly at your location.

75
00:05:13,313 --> 00:05:16,149
Minutes later, we lost contact
with you and the rest of the crew.

76
00:05:16,607 --> 00:05:20,403
In the immediate aftermath,
we intercepted a transmission.

77
00:05:21,070 --> 00:05:23,007
[Zarkon's voice] We found
these primitive scientists.

78
00:05:23,031 --> 00:05:25,366
I don't think they
know anything useful.

79
00:05:25,450 --> 00:05:29,245
Take them back to the main
fleet for interrogation.

80
00:05:29,329 --> 00:05:32,957
The Druids will find
out what they know.

81
00:05:33,416 --> 00:05:35,335
That last voice is Zarkon,

82
00:05:35,585 --> 00:05:39,255
the emperor of an advanced hostile
alien race known as the Galra.

83
00:05:39,338 --> 00:05:42,675
- How advanced?
- And how do you know they're hostile?

84
00:05:44,719 --> 00:05:47,805
Do you have the device I asked for?
The one from my pod?

85
00:05:49,474 --> 00:05:50,641
Bring it to him.

86
00:05:53,269 --> 00:05:55,104
[device beeps, hums]

87
00:05:56,147 --> 00:05:59,233
Before I left, I downloaded
as much information as I could

88
00:05:59,317 --> 00:06:01,069
from the Castle of Lions.

89
00:06:01,152 --> 00:06:04,989
For 10,000 years,
Zarkon has been expanding his empire,

90
00:06:05,073 --> 00:06:07,450
conquering vast
swaths of the universe

91
00:06:07,533 --> 00:06:11,496
and harnessing its quintessence in
order to survive and maintain power.

92
00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:13,164
Quintessence?

93
00:06:13,581 --> 00:06:16,334
It's an energy generated
by living beings.

94
00:06:16,417 --> 00:06:21,255
- [man] You mean certain alien beings?
- No. Quintessence is within us all.

95
00:06:22,298 --> 00:06:25,468
Impossible. We've never come
across anything like that.

96
00:06:25,551 --> 00:06:28,763
Maybe because this is beyond the
realm of what you think you know.

97
00:06:29,555 --> 00:06:32,225
Have you ever traveled faster
than the speed of light?

98
00:06:32,308 --> 00:06:34,977
Have you ever seen a living
creature bio-hack nature?

99
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:38,189
Have you ever come face to
face with an alien warlord

100
00:06:38,272 --> 00:06:41,484
who's older than the entirety
of human civilization?

101
00:06:43,194 --> 00:06:47,782
Well, I have.
And I assure you, it's all real.

102
00:06:48,741 --> 00:06:49,992
Following our abduction,

103
00:06:50,076 --> 00:06:53,496
Shiro, Matt and I were taken by
Galra scouts to the main fleet

104
00:06:53,579 --> 00:06:54,914
where we were interrogated.

105
00:06:55,331 --> 00:06:57,416
After that, we were split up.

106
00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:59,710
I spent the next year
at a remote outpost,

107
00:06:59,794 --> 00:07:03,131
working alongside other
captive scientists researching

108
00:07:03,214 --> 00:07:06,759
and creating new technologies
to be used by the Galra.

109
00:07:06,843 --> 00:07:08,511
I later learned
that Shiro and Matt

110
00:07:08,594 --> 00:07:11,139
had been sent to fight
in the gladiator pits.

111
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:15,935
Matt would have been killed,
but Shiro, he saved my son's life.

112
00:07:20,189 --> 00:07:23,734
Later, Matt was rescued from
a work camp by alien rebels.

113
00:07:23,818 --> 00:07:27,989
He now works alongside them,
fighting back against the Galra.

114
00:07:28,239 --> 00:07:30,199
During his time on
Zarkon's command ship,

115
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:34,912
Shiro discovered that Zarkon was looking
for a super weapon hidden on Earth.

116
00:07:34,996 --> 00:07:37,707
Shiro escaped to get
the weapon first.

117
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:40,793
That must be when Lieutenant
Shirogane returned to Earth.

118
00:07:40,877 --> 00:07:42,003
That's right.

119
00:07:46,215 --> 00:07:47,508
Following Garrison protocol,

120
00:07:47,592 --> 00:07:52,221
we placed Lieutenant Takeshi
Shirogane under mandatory quarantine,

121
00:07:52,638 --> 00:07:56,392
but he managed to escape with the
aid of several Garrison cadets.

122
00:07:56,851 --> 00:07:59,604
We later found out the one
known as Pidge Gunderson

123
00:07:59,687 --> 00:08:01,522
was your daughter, Katie Holt,

124
00:08:01,606 --> 00:08:03,774
who had illegally enrolled
in the cadet program

125
00:08:03,858 --> 00:08:05,818
under an assumed identity.

126
00:08:05,902 --> 00:08:09,864
The following day,
the Blue Lion appeared on our radars.

127
00:08:09,947 --> 00:08:13,159
Long-range sensors tracked the UFO
to the edge of our solar system

128
00:08:13,242 --> 00:08:15,953
traveling at speeds
we've never achieved.

129
00:08:16,037 --> 00:08:19,499
It disappeared along with the ship.
That was the last activity we had

130
00:08:19,582 --> 00:08:22,418
until your pod arrived
on Earth a month ago.

131
00:08:22,752 --> 00:08:25,922
So that Blue Lion,
that was the super weapon?

132
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:29,342
Part of it.
The super weapon is known as Voltron.

133
00:08:29,425 --> 00:08:32,345
It's made up of five
mechanical lions.

134
00:08:32,428 --> 00:08:35,056
As fate would have it,
when Shiro crashed on Earth,

135
00:08:35,139 --> 00:08:38,017
those same Garrison students
that got him out of quarantine

136
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:42,855
became the pilots, or Paladins,
of the five lions of Voltron.

137
00:08:48,152 --> 00:08:52,615
The Paladins are doing everything they can
to protect the universe from the Galra.

138
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:55,743
But we must begin to bolster
Earth's defenses now,

139
00:08:55,826 --> 00:08:58,412
or we do not stand a chance.

140
00:08:59,747 --> 00:09:01,874
War is coming.

141
00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:06,337
So this Zarkon,
you think he'll attack Earth?

142
00:09:06,629 --> 00:09:11,384
No. Zarkon is dead,
but the Galra Empire is not stopping.

143
00:09:11,467 --> 00:09:13,219
There are factions
fighting for control

144
00:09:13,302 --> 00:09:16,430
and looking to dominate their
own sections of the universe.

145
00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:19,600
Without a clear leader,
things are worse than before.

146
00:09:19,684 --> 00:09:21,102
So what do we do?

147
00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:24,438
We hold a conference and announce
what we know to the world.

148
00:09:24,855 --> 00:09:26,691
Absolutely not.

149
00:09:26,774 --> 00:09:28,484
They need to know.

150
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:31,112
And if we can bring the
world's top minds together,

151
00:09:31,195 --> 00:09:32,297
it might mean the difference...

152
00:09:32,321 --> 00:09:34,258
If we told the world there
was an imminent attack,

153
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,033
we'd set off a global panic.

154
00:09:36,117 --> 00:09:37,994
But there will be an attack.

155
00:09:38,202 --> 00:09:42,498
When? How will the attack happen?
Is there a plan to stop it?

156
00:09:42,999 --> 00:09:44,601
None of these things
have been discussed.

157
00:09:44,625 --> 00:09:46,186
None of these things have
been thought through.

158
00:09:46,210 --> 00:09:48,379
And until they are,
we're not going to be responsible

159
00:09:48,462 --> 00:09:50,756
for sending the
world into disarray.

160
00:09:51,632 --> 00:09:55,177
If you would allow me to contact
Katie and the Paladins right now,

161
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:57,722
we could begin to
answer those questions.

162
00:09:58,639 --> 00:09:59,849
Very well.

163
00:10:01,934 --> 00:10:05,104
This is Sam Holt calling
the Paladins of Voltron.

164
00:10:05,187 --> 00:10:07,398
I'm on Earth. Please respond.

165
00:10:10,234 --> 00:10:14,780
- Pidge, this is Dad. Come in.
- Katie, it's your mom. Are you there?

166
00:10:16,532 --> 00:10:18,492
The transmission's
not being received.

167
00:10:18,576 --> 00:10:20,995
There might be interference.
We need to keep trying.

168
00:10:21,245 --> 00:10:23,331
We can have someone send
out regular transmissions

169
00:10:23,414 --> 00:10:25,416
around the clock until
we hear from them.

170
00:10:25,499 --> 00:10:28,669
But in the meantime,
we stay quiet.

171
00:10:28,961 --> 00:10:32,923
Very well. But we should at
least begin preparations.

172
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:35,009
We already have.

173
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:39,639
We've been studying the ship

174
00:10:39,722 --> 00:10:41,849
that Shiro crash landed
in for the last year,

175
00:10:42,475 --> 00:10:45,311
and we've begun research
on the ship you arrived in.

176
00:10:45,394 --> 00:10:48,022
We thought the technology
would be exactly the same,

177
00:10:48,105 --> 00:10:50,524
but that's not the case.

178
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:54,111
[Sam] That's because one is
Galran and the other, Altean,

179
00:10:54,195 --> 00:10:56,947
created by two
different alien species.

180
00:10:57,156 --> 00:11:00,493
- [Sam] So did you get it airborne?
- [Iverson] Unfortunately, no.

181
00:11:01,118 --> 00:11:03,454
We got the nav system and
other instruments turned on

182
00:11:03,537 --> 00:11:05,206
by powering them externally,

183
00:11:05,289 --> 00:11:08,250
but the power it would take
to fly them is unsustainable.

184
00:11:08,751 --> 00:11:12,630
Hmm. The crystal must have been damaged
on entry if you couldn't power it.

185
00:11:13,339 --> 00:11:14,339
Crystal?

186
00:11:14,590 --> 00:11:17,927
[Sam] It's the main energy
source for most alien spacecraft.

187
00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:20,864
If you haven't been
able to get it running,

188
00:11:20,888 --> 00:11:22,681
then what have you
been doing with it?

189
00:11:22,765 --> 00:11:25,267
We created a simulator
based on the controls

190
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:28,354
so that when we figure out how to
integrate the tech into our own ships,

191
00:11:28,437 --> 00:11:29,980
we'll be ready to fly.

192
00:11:34,777 --> 00:11:37,988
Commander Holt, I'd like to
introduce you to the best pilots

193
00:11:38,072 --> 00:11:40,616
to come out of the Galaxy
Garrison in the last year.

194
00:11:40,699 --> 00:11:45,830
These are officers Griffin,
Rizavi, Kinkade, and Leifsdottir.

195
00:11:46,956 --> 00:11:51,961
They're young, but their ability to adapt
to new flying techniques is a step above.

196
00:11:52,044 --> 00:11:55,047
On behalf of my squadron,
it's an honor to meet you, sir.

197
00:11:55,214 --> 00:11:58,300
I've got them running drills in
the simulator five days a week.

198
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,053
They can take just about
anything you can throw at them.

199
00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:04,265
Good. Now it's time to get
them out of the simulator

200
00:12:04,348 --> 00:12:05,975
and flying these
things for real.

201
00:12:06,517 --> 00:12:08,144
But they aren't working, sir.

202
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:10,604
Then we better get them working.

203
00:12:20,114 --> 00:12:21,240
[charging hum]

204
00:12:22,533 --> 00:12:23,409
[Rizavi gasps]

205
00:12:23,492 --> 00:12:24,869
No way.

206
00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:38,048
When can we fly them, sir?

207
00:12:38,132 --> 00:12:40,092
You're gonna be flying
ships much faster

208
00:12:40,176 --> 00:12:42,636
and much more maneuverable
than this in no time.

209
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:43,720
Sir?

210
00:12:44,013 --> 00:12:46,265
[Sam] This is just an
Altean shuttle pod.

211
00:12:46,348 --> 00:12:48,893
The engine and functions
are extremely basic.

212
00:12:48,976 --> 00:12:51,562
If we're going to defend the
planet against the Galra,

213
00:12:51,645 --> 00:12:53,564
we're going to
need better ships.

214
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,275
When I was enslaved
by the Galra,

215
00:12:56,358 --> 00:12:58,194
I was forced to
work on technologies

216
00:12:58,277 --> 00:13:01,822
that are a hundred times more
complex than a simple pod.

217
00:13:02,239 --> 00:13:07,328
And after I regrouped with the Paladins,
I continued learning alongside the Olkari,

218
00:13:07,411 --> 00:13:11,582
some of the most amazing engineers
I've ever had the honor to work with.

219
00:13:12,416 --> 00:13:15,961
They taught me everything I know
about integrating technologies.

220
00:13:17,171 --> 00:13:19,465
These are Altean schematics.

221
00:13:19,882 --> 00:13:22,218
We're gonna use these
to upgrade our weapons,

222
00:13:22,301 --> 00:13:25,638
build new ships,
and create a defense for Earth.

223
00:13:26,013 --> 00:13:30,184
Engineers will be in charge of
salvaging what they can from the pods.

224
00:13:30,267 --> 00:13:33,229
Re-purposing parts is of
the utmost importance.

225
00:13:37,358 --> 00:13:39,276
Our pilots must get
out of the simulators

226
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,321
and into real ships powered
by crystal technology

227
00:13:42,404 --> 00:13:46,075
if they hope to stand a chance
against Galran battle tactics.

228
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:04,718
[Sam] It's gonna be a steep learning
curve, but I know they'll get it.

229
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:08,931
The Garrison will
become the epicenter

230
00:14:09,014 --> 00:14:13,102
of technological advances beyond
what this world has ever seen.

231
00:14:13,185 --> 00:14:15,020
[weapon charging]

232
00:14:19,316 --> 00:14:21,527
[Sam] In the meantime,
we will continue our attempts

233
00:14:21,610 --> 00:14:23,863
to contact Matt
and the Paladins.

234
00:14:23,946 --> 00:14:27,992
It's imperative that we find out
what's happening beyond our galaxy.

235
00:14:32,913 --> 00:14:36,917
There is a war coming,
and we need to be prepared.

236
00:14:47,511 --> 00:14:51,765
- [Griffin] Sorry, guess I'm too quick.
- [Rizavi] Not for my micro-pulse boosters.

237
00:15:08,282 --> 00:15:11,493
How's the response time compared
to the previous generation?

238
00:15:11,577 --> 00:15:13,412
[Rizavi] Instantaneous, sir.

239
00:15:13,495 --> 00:15:16,373
It's like it knows what I
wanna do before I think it.

240
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:21,295
It's amazing what you've
done in just over a year.

241
00:15:21,378 --> 00:15:23,088
We've done it together.

242
00:15:23,714 --> 00:15:26,884
[woman] Sir, you're needed in the
communications room immediately.

243
00:15:29,428 --> 00:15:31,013
It's Matt. He contacted us.

244
00:15:31,096 --> 00:15:34,350
- [Matt] Mom, is that Dad?
- He just got here.

245
00:15:34,683 --> 00:15:35,935
Matt, are you okay?

246
00:15:36,018 --> 00:15:38,228
I've been trying to contact
you and Katie for months.

247
00:15:38,312 --> 00:15:40,439
Where are you? What's going on?

248
00:15:40,522 --> 00:15:43,442
- So, you didn't hear yet?
- Hear what?

249
00:15:44,693 --> 00:15:46,862
Mom, Dad,

250
00:15:46,946 --> 00:15:50,157
no one has seen or heard from the
Paladins in the last six months.

251
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,201
- No.
- Katie.

252
00:15:52,284 --> 00:15:53,284
[Colleen sobs]

253
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:55,162
What happened?

254
00:15:55,663 --> 00:15:57,247
No one is really sure.

255
00:15:57,581 --> 00:16:01,752
There are rumors that Voltron fought
Lotor, then they just disappeared.

256
00:16:02,503 --> 00:16:06,173
- So they could still be alive.
- No one knows.

257
00:16:06,256 --> 00:16:11,178
But, Dad, listen to me.
You need to stop broadcasting from Earth.

258
00:16:11,261 --> 00:16:12,763
Members of the Blade of Marmora

259
00:16:12,846 --> 00:16:15,724
and the Voltron Coalition
are being hunted.

260
00:16:15,808 --> 00:16:18,602
Our army has been
all but wiped out.

261
00:16:18,686 --> 00:16:20,354
The situation is bad out here,

262
00:16:20,437 --> 00:16:24,149
and the last thing we need
is to put Earth in danger.

263
00:16:24,692 --> 00:16:26,694
But how will I get ahold of you?

264
00:16:27,027 --> 00:16:30,030
I have to go.
I'll contact you when I'm safe.

265
00:16:30,781 --> 00:16:32,241
I love you both.

266
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:41,166
It's time. We need to tell the
rest of the world the situation.

267
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:43,502
Sam, I'm sorry to hear
about your daughter,

268
00:16:43,585 --> 00:16:45,004
but we can't get off course.

269
00:16:45,087 --> 00:16:49,591
If we wanna finish the IGF-ATLAS,
we need more resources and more manpower.

270
00:16:49,925 --> 00:16:53,178
The world needs to come together so
that we can take the fight to the Galra.

271
00:16:53,262 --> 00:16:56,348
You're too emotional right now
and you're not thinking straight.

272
00:16:56,432 --> 00:16:59,518
We're not building ships to go
fight aliens in different galaxies.

273
00:16:59,601 --> 00:17:01,353
[thuds] But they need us.

274
00:17:01,437 --> 00:17:03,689
The citizens of Earth need us.

275
00:17:03,772 --> 00:17:06,400
And yet you refuse to
tell them the truth!

276
00:17:06,483 --> 00:17:08,736
Maybe we should talk
about this later.

277
00:17:08,819 --> 00:17:11,530
We can talk later,
but my decision will be the same.

278
00:17:11,613 --> 00:17:13,093
We're not telling
the people of Earth

279
00:17:13,157 --> 00:17:15,868
and we're not fighting
in someone else's war.

280
00:17:19,329 --> 00:17:20,748
They're gonna be okay.

281
00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:25,044
They will be okay because they're
strong just like their mother.

282
00:17:25,961 --> 00:17:27,755
We've gotta do something.

283
00:17:28,005 --> 00:17:31,008
We can't just sit here while
our children are in danger.

284
00:17:31,341 --> 00:17:34,928
We're doing everything we can with
the limited personnel we have.

285
00:17:35,095 --> 00:17:37,765
Then we'll get more
personnel and more resources.

286
00:17:37,848 --> 00:17:40,225
The admiral is making decisions
for the rest of the world.

287
00:17:40,309 --> 00:17:43,020
I say let them make
decisions for themselves.

288
00:17:43,103 --> 00:17:44,938
You wanna tell the world?

289
00:17:45,439 --> 00:17:49,193
The repercussions could be serious.
They could kick us out of the Garrison.

290
00:17:49,651 --> 00:17:52,738
It's risky, but that ship
may never get done otherwise.

291
00:17:52,821 --> 00:17:55,991
And I'll do whatever it
takes to see my kids again.

292
00:17:57,493 --> 00:17:58,577
Okay.

293
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:06,668
- You're sure you wanna do this?
- I'm sure.

294
00:18:07,586 --> 00:18:08,754
[display beeping]

295
00:18:13,050 --> 00:18:17,137
All right, I'll be broadcasting
on every channel. You ready?

296
00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:26,688
Citizens of Earth.
My name is Colleen Holt.

297
00:18:26,772 --> 00:18:31,110
I am the wife of famed astronaut,
Sam Holt, and mother of Matt Holt.

298
00:18:31,193 --> 00:18:33,487
Two years ago,
it was believed that they died

299
00:18:33,570 --> 00:18:35,114
during a deep space mission.

300
00:18:35,781 --> 00:18:37,407
That was a lie.

301
00:18:37,574 --> 00:18:40,661
My husband, along with his crew,
were abducted by an alien race

302
00:18:40,744 --> 00:18:41,912
known as the Galra,

303
00:18:42,162 --> 00:18:44,998
a fact that was covered
up by the Galaxy Garrison.

304
00:18:45,874 --> 00:18:49,169
Admiral, you need to see this.
They're broadcasting on every channel.

305
00:18:49,878 --> 00:18:52,172
A year ago,
my husband returned to Earth,

306
00:18:52,256 --> 00:18:55,217
but the Garrison forced
him to stay in hiding.

307
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:58,720
[Sanda] I'm afraid we can't
allow Sam to leave the premises.

308
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:00,240
We're not prepared
to tell the world

309
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:03,433
about the existence of
alien life just yet.

310
00:19:03,517 --> 00:19:08,355
But I refuse to stay hidden any longer.
We desperately need your help.

311
00:19:08,856 --> 00:19:13,318
Not every alien species is friendly,
and Planet Earth must be protected.

312
00:19:14,069 --> 00:19:15,237
Here at the Garrison,

313
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:18,365
we've been working on creating
advanced ships and weaponry.

314
00:19:18,448 --> 00:19:19,992
Get the rest of the guards.

315
00:19:20,450 --> 00:19:22,828
The footage you are
about to see is real.

316
00:19:23,912 --> 00:19:25,664
[Sam] These are the Galra.

317
00:19:25,747 --> 00:19:30,502
If they find Earth, they will
attack, and we must be prepared.

318
00:19:31,587 --> 00:19:34,131
Huh. Guess the cat's
out of the bag, huh?

319
00:19:34,339 --> 00:19:37,176
[Colleen] But there are those that
have spent years protecting us.

320
00:19:37,259 --> 00:19:40,971
They are the Paladins of Voltron,
and they come from Earth.

321
00:19:42,222 --> 00:19:45,475
I can't wait to be back home.
I'm not really sure when that'll be,

322
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:47,394
but when I get there,
I really want Uncle Filo

323
00:19:47,477 --> 00:19:49,730
to make some of his
amazing pork lau lau.

324
00:19:49,813 --> 00:19:51,064
I can almost taste it now.

325
00:19:53,066 --> 00:19:58,155
Hi, Mom, hi, Dad. It's me, Lance.
I'm here in outer space somewhere.

326
00:19:58,238 --> 00:20:02,576
I, um, uh,
don't really know what to say.

327
00:20:04,411 --> 00:20:07,414
I miss you guys.
I miss you guys a lot.

328
00:20:08,207 --> 00:20:11,418
Mom, I'm so sorry I left
without saying goodbye.

329
00:20:11,793 --> 00:20:13,420
I think of you every day.

330
00:20:14,671 --> 00:20:16,924
Now is the time
to come together.

331
00:20:17,007 --> 00:20:21,094
To protect our world,
we must be united under one cause.

332
00:20:21,762 --> 00:20:23,764
[scanner beeping]

333
00:20:25,098 --> 00:20:26,516
Override the lock.

334
00:20:26,850 --> 00:20:28,936
[beeping]

335
00:20:32,773 --> 00:20:34,274
Lock them up.

336
00:20:34,733 --> 00:20:38,237
- For what?
- For divulging top secret information.

337
00:20:38,528 --> 00:20:41,114
Now, now, Admiral.
Don't get emotional.

338
00:20:41,198 --> 00:20:43,700
You disregarded a direct order.

339
00:20:43,784 --> 00:20:46,787
You held me at the
Garrison against my will.

340
00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:48,288
You lied about my death.

341
00:20:48,372 --> 00:20:52,668
You wanna control every situation.
But face it, you can't.

342
00:20:52,751 --> 00:20:54,253
The world needed to know this,

343
00:20:54,336 --> 00:20:56,630
and now that they do,
it will be better for us.

344
00:20:56,922 --> 00:21:00,801
Right now, the world needs a leader
that's not afraid to face facts

345
00:21:00,884 --> 00:21:02,135
and you're not it.

346
00:21:02,761 --> 00:21:04,221
And you think you are?

347
00:21:05,013 --> 00:21:06,223
Yes.

348
00:21:07,140 --> 00:21:09,059
Get these traitors out of here.

349
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:11,603
Stop.

350
00:21:12,479 --> 00:21:15,232
If Sam goes, I go too.

351
00:21:16,358 --> 00:21:19,861
Admiral Sanda, calls are coming
in from all over the world.

352
00:21:20,153 --> 00:21:23,532
Citizens want to know how they can help.
It's incredible.

353
00:21:24,783 --> 00:21:25,951
It worked.

354
00:21:30,998 --> 00:21:33,166
[whirring]

355
00:21:42,634 --> 00:21:44,303
[thuds]

356
00:21:44,761 --> 00:21:47,848
- That's the last one.
- Think it'll work?

357
00:21:47,931 --> 00:21:50,142
Well,
particle barriers are tricky,

358
00:21:50,225 --> 00:21:54,062
but if my calculations are right,
these just might act as a perimeter.

359
00:21:54,146 --> 00:21:55,647
[device beeping]

360
00:21:56,148 --> 00:21:57,274
[Sam] What's that?

361
00:21:58,317 --> 00:22:01,737
I don't know. I didn't think we
were doing any test flights today.

362
00:22:05,866 --> 00:22:07,117
They're here.

363
00:22:11,371 --> 00:22:13,540
Activate the particle
barrier immediately.

364
00:22:13,623 --> 00:22:15,435
[woman] Are you sure, sir?
We haven't run diagnostics...

365
00:22:15,459 --> 00:22:16,626
Do it, now!

366
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:18,837
[charging hum]

367
00:22:21,757 --> 00:22:22,757
[weapons charging]

368
00:22:24,301 --> 00:22:25,343
[Sam grunts]

369
00:22:25,427 --> 00:22:27,804
- [thudding]
- [barrier buzzing]
