All language subtitles for The Outer Limits s04e20 Phobos Rising

How much longer, boys?

Things are smooth as butter, sir.

Radiation levels are in the green.

I say another ten minutes.

I'm dead.

Let's see, we check hydroponics after
this.

A little stroll in the moonlight?

How romantic.

That late already?

Where does the time go?

Apparently out of your mind.

Hey!

Careful with that.

Sorry, sir.

I'm all right. Not worried about you,
Edwards, but if you crack a seal on one

those triradium canisters, we'll all
glow in the dark till the end of the

century. Think of the paperwork that'll
cause me.

That's just plain inconsiderate.

Yes, sir.

Sorry, sir.

Remaining a teaspoon of that stuff can
power a ship from here to the Earth and

back.

Or a vaporizer ship, if you make one
little mistake.

A lot of things are dangerous and
expensive.

Just have to know how to handle them.

I'm not going there.

No, you're not.

Major Bone, report to the command room
immediately.

Yes, ma 'am. On my way.

So we didn't resolve that hydroponics
issue.

We didn't? I thought we did.

No, we didn't.

Ah, strange how we have different
interpretation of things.

Yeah, you'd almost think we were
married.

I thought we were just getting warmed
up.

Warmed up?

Dangerous. That's how you get burnt.

That sounds like you're speaking from
experience.

Oh, yeah.

It's happened to me once or twice.

Oh, yeah?

Once by a tall, muscular, charming, dark
-haired, slightly

roguish...

Only slightly funny.

Ow. Navy colonel in Shanghai.

Oh.

So is that a yes or a no?

It means only

the rain will know when the flower will
bloom.

Ah. Well, I'm glad we're clear now.

Hey.

Colonel? Major?

We've got an urgent incoming from
Commander -in -Chief for Allied Space

Yeah, he probably wants to borrow your
place on Maui again.

After what his kids did to it, I don't
think so. My husband would kill me.

Besides, I promised my niece here and
her friends could have it as a

present for a week. Oh, that'll be good.
That'll work out just fine.

Major Taylor, please return your orders.
According to the guidelines agreed to

for liaison exchange, your liaison
officer is privy to all incoming

our coalition base, and I am entitled to
the same.

Very well.

Going out of line of sight in five
minutes, 53 seconds. Next window, 12

18 minutes.

Colonel Elliott, the major developments
have occurred on the international

scene. Twenty minutes ago, these talks
between the Free Alliance and the

Coalition of Middle Eastern and Pacific
States... They accused us of developing

a doomsday device, a triradium -based
antimatter weapon, at which point the

Secretary accused the NPS of the same
thing.

It ended in a shouting match.

Sam, every gram of triradium that has
left Mars has been accounted for down

here. If the Coalition is working on a
doomsday weapon, somebody's smuggling

triradium to them. And since the only
place triradium exists is on Mars, we

you to find out if anybody ships them
down here without authorization.

What happened? We're not in shadow for
another five minutes. Get him back on

three.

Colonel, I'm getting serious
electromagnetic wash. I've never seen

it.

Visual, anything.

Switching to main telescope array.

There is nothing wrong with your
television.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We
are now controlling the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the
vertical. We can deluge you with a

channels or expand one single image to
crystal clarity and beyond.

We can shape your vision to anything our
imagination can conceive.

For the next hour, We will control all
that you see and hear.

You are about to experience the awe and
mystery which reaches from the deepest

inner mind to the outer limits.

How far will mankind have to go before
we realize that the only antidote to

-annihilation is trust?

Get me Captain Rosen on the lines. See
what our liaison officers have to say.

Ma 'am, either the Trump base is not
responding or there's too much radiation

interference at the moment to reach the
other Mars base.

Keep trying. Okay, let's get to it.
Three minutes ago, we lost all contact

Earth. As hard as it may be to do, we
have to accept the fact Earth may be

destroyed and we're the last survivors.
Maybe something else happened.

Maybe the reactor on one of the space
stations blew.

That could cause a radiation cloud long
enough to block out our view of the

Earth for a few hours.

Maybe, but either way, we won't know for
sure until we can reestablish line -of

-sight communication.

That'll be another 12 hours and 15
minutes.

Sergeant Nichols, what's our status on
the cloud? We have a year's worth of

and oxygen in storage.

As long as hydroponics and the
converters keep working, we'll have

last us indefinitely.

So, worst -case scenario, the Coalition
did launch a preemptive strike against

Earth using a triradium -dune theta
-byte.

Which means nobody from Earth is going
to be recopying us for a long, long

600 miles southwest of us is the
Coalition base.

If the Coalition was smuggling
triradium, it could mean that they're

launch an attack against us here as
well. Excuse me, ma 'am, but wouldn't

coordinate that with their attack on
Earth?

Maybe they needed to wait for an
advantage.

Maybe they were waiting for the
electromagnetic wash to play hell with

radar, which it has.

So if they have missiles, they can
launch them right now.

And we'd never know. We don't have any
indication they were smuggling or if

have any missiles.

Well, that's what we need to find out.

Where there is smoke, you can bet there
is fire.

And up here, with these pressure walls,
a first strike is a last strike.

So at the first sign of any hostile
preparations by the coalition, I intend

make their future very short.

Any questions?

Ma 'am, none of the men have families on
Earth.

So do I.

As soon as we can reestablish contact.

We'll do everything we can to find out
and get in touch.

I know how important this is to all of
us, believe me. How the hell can they

it out of here?

But what if the coalition didn't start
this, ma 'am?

Triradium is too important. Don't start
a war without warning your units first

to be prepared, especially your most
valuable units.

And since we received no such warning, I
conclude we did not start it.

Besides, it fits with the coalition
pattern. Thirty years ago, they staged a

surprise attack against the moon base,
and they did the same thing in Sagan 5.

Major?

Yes, ma 'am, I agree.

Therefore, in the absence of any
communication to the contrary, my

orders are clear.

We are to initiate no hostilities, but
we are to defend and maintain this base

at all costs.

Not just because of the triradium, but
because we may be the last survivors of

the free alliance and the last chance
mankind has to repopulate Earth.

Incoming call from the commander of the
champ base, ma 'am.

Colonel Paz will be on in three seconds.

Colonel Elliot, have you had any contact
with Earth?

No, Colonel, I have not. Have you?

No, I haven't. I'd like to speak to
Captain Rosen, my liaison officer. Where

he? He's out on a mining inspection
survey. He should be back in an hour. So

he's unable to verify the fact that
you've had no communication.

They run those surveys every Tuesday. He
should be out there.

What can we do for you, Colonel?

There is no question that a horrible
disaster has occurred.

But neither one of us has received
instructions that we are at war, so I

we are still at peace.

Until one of us can lay definite blame,
I suggest we continue our policy of

cooperation.

I agree.

But it's possible someone did blow up
Earth with triradium smuggled from Mars.

The same thought has occurred to us.

I suggest we search the spaceport and
see if anyone is trying to smuggle out

triradium. And if we find any...

Then together we will find out who is
behind it.

I have already prepared a team.

Two teams.

We'll both send a team, and I want my
liaison officer to go with yours.

And our liaison officer, Major Taylor.

Where is she?

She's retired to her quarters.

I'd like to speak to her, and I'd like
her to accompany your team on their

inspection. Agreed?

Agreed.

We can have a team up and running in 15
minutes.

I had to turn a path through to Major
Taylor when he finished.

Better pray that things are not as bad
as they seem.

Absolutely.

Edwards, I need you to run an immediate
inventory on all the trirating we have

stored here on the base, and I mean down
to the last milligram.

Sure.

We had any contact with the Earth yet?
Not yet, but they're on it. We just have

to wait. How bad?

No one's sure.

Gotta know something. Look, all I know
is that we can't get through to Earth,

all right? If I knew anything else, I
would tell you.

Sarge, you've got family out there,
right? Yeah. I've got three sisters and

cat that needs to be declawed.

Sister.

Well, are we going to war?

No one is talking war yet, all right?
But the colonel is definitely lock

and ready to scream.

But they did it, right? We're sending a
team to find out.

If they did do it?

Then we'll all just do what the colonel
tells us to do.

Sarge, what do you think is going to
happen?

If the coalition did do this, then some
eggs are going to get broken.

I need that inventory ASAP.

Right away, sir.

Keep me informed.

Yes, sir, I will.

Enter.

How are you holding up?

I can't believe this.

I mean, millions of people have just
died, and I feel like I should be crying

something, but I'm not.

That's because we're soldiers.

A human second?

No, no, we have the same emotions as
everyone else.

We've just been trained not to show
them.

Yeah, if we don't show them long enough,
we'll lose them.

I think if anything, our emotions are
stronger.

Because we know the value of life better
than anyone.

Because we live on the edge of losing it
at every moment.

Yes,

sir.

Yes,

sir. Good.

All right.

Settle up.

Major. Good. We need to talk.

Ma 'am?

Did you have a nice chat with Major
Taylor?

She asked me what the current situation
is. I told her.

She seemed upset.

Upset?

Look, we're all upset.

I don't know if my husband's alive, or
my parents, or my husband's parents, or

any of a thousand other people I know.
We're all in that boat, Major.

But right now, we don't have time for
individual counseling.

Half those kids out there are so
worried. They can barely do their jobs

properly. But they do, you know why?
Because they're watching us.

And if we can do it, so can they.

We lead by example, but we don't have
time for individuals.

Particularly if they're from the
Coalition. I was just bringing her up to

Nothing more.

Don't get your back up.

I'm not sleeping with her.

She's the enemy, James.

We can't afford to trust anybody from
the Coalition, no matter what our guts

tell us.

Remember, she's had enough free access
to the space through us thoroughly.

I don't see it that way.

All right.

Maybe you're right. Maybe they don't
have any plans.

The thing is, we don't know what they
have. They're like good boy scouts.

We've got to be prepared.

Yes, ma 'am.

Remember, James, she's a soldier.

If the situation were reversed and I
gave you an order to do something at

coalition base, you'd do it, wouldn't
you?

Yes, ma 'am.

Ma 'am, you'd better come look at this.

It's a simulation.

We ran it three times, three different
systems.

The results are always the same.

Results to what?

According to this.

If a large part of the Earth did
explode, we're going to get waxed one

of a stock wave in seven minutes, 43
seconds.

It's a four -second margin of error.

That's a give or take.

What if a large part didn't get blown
up?

Well, then the far side of Mars will
absorb the impact and we won't feel

anything.

Get everybody down to the mess room now.

Here are your contacts, Major Taylor and
Captain Rosen on the Coalition's team.

I don't think they're going to make it
to the spaceport. Tell them to seek

whatever shelter they can.

Yes, ma 'am. And get word to the
Coalition base. We don't want our

caught off guard.

You got everybody?

Yeah, that's a full count, ma 'am. Not a
minute too soon.

Can you lock all the doors?

You okay, Charlie?

Sure, sir.

Yours can't be destroyed, can it?

I was just talking to my brother
yesterday.

It's all just precaution. Precaution,
right?

Precaution. Get under the table.

What's the repair bill?

Main systems are still online using the
backups.

All our antennas are down for jury
rigging replacements.

Lost contact with the coalition base and
Major Taylor's away team.

We're on all stations, ma 'am.

This is Colonel Elliott.

How do I say this?

It seems the Earth has been either
partially or completely destroyed.

Words are inadequate.

At this time, we face two enemies.

First, our own grief.

and suffering, and second, fear of the
unknown.

We still don't know exactly how bad
things are, but we're going to keep

to find out until we do know.

Until then, I expect and I know that
every one of you will continue to do

duty.

Now more than ever, our future depends
on each other.

We must count on each other as never
before to see us through this, and we

get through this.

Elliot Al.

I think I've got it, sir.

Great. Put it up on screen.

This is the last recorded signal from
Major Taylor's food camp.

It should give us an idea where they
are.

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Come on!
We've got to do this!

Let's go! Let's go!

Looks like they made it to one of the
fuel storage bunkers. They could have

survived. I'll get a rescue team
organized.

Terry, you play back the first part of
that transmission to me.

All right, fire up Hopper 2, and I want
a three -man medical team standing by

and suited up in airlock A.

Yes, sir.

Stop. Punch it on that.

They found a Coalition fuel canister.

Damn it!

There shouldn't have been any canisters
within miles of that place.

The Coalition was smuggling tri -radium.

Son of a bitch!

Give me Sergeant Lawton. No response, ma
'am. Try the rest of the team.

No one's answering.

We don't want to jump to conclusions, ma
'am. Then you tell me why no one's

responding. Because they could be
unconscious or dead.

They all made it to the bunker. Someone
should have survived.

We don't know that, ma 'am. It's a
coalition canister. Talos could have

their suit cam and eliminated the team.
That's still just speculation, ma 'am.

You're right, it is.

But we can't afford to be wrong about
this.

Colonel, Major Talos just showed up in
airlock D.

What about the rest of the team?

Just Talos, ma 'am. Nobody else.

Let's go.

What happened at the bunker?

We got caught in a shockwave.

We thought we were safe, and then it
just collapsed.

I was still in airlock.

It was the only place that wasn't
completely destroyed.

It smashed my comm link, and everybody
else was crushed.

I did breathe.

It was horrible.

Where did Lawton find the canister?

Corporal Edwards can find Major Taylor
to her quarters. Yes, ma 'am. You don't

believe me. Three of my men are dead and
you're alive.

Harrier, any word from Coalition Bay?
No, ma 'am. Keep trying.

If Taylor told them about the canister,
I don't think they'll be responding.

Maybe their antennas are down.

Sergeant Nickel to Thumblet team. Check
out Major Taylor's story.

Yes, ma 'am. Wait a minute, Colonel. We
still need to talk to Paz. I know. We're

working on it.

Edward. Hey, what's going on?

We're going to check out Major Taylor's
story.

What are they waiting for?

She could be telling the truth, you
know.

Yeah, why didn't I think that?

So what do you want to do, Edward? Do
you want to go kick ass on the only

people in the universe that could be
alive?

Yeah, before they kick ours. It doesn't
make sense.

Right? They have families on Earth, too.

Why would they blow it up? They'd just
be killing themselves.

Because they're stupid.

They're in just as much trouble as we
are. Yeah, except they started it. We

don't know that. If you want to do that,
Sergeant, kiss butt until they blow

ours out of the landscape. Go to hell.

No, you go to hell. What did you say to
me, Corporal?

The Coalition just killed my brother.

They've got to pay.

Look, Charlie, we're all a little
scared, but killing them won't change

Yes, it will. They'll be dead and we'll
be alive.

Elliot's sending a team to check on your
story.

Good.

Lawton was carrying a coalition
canister. I need to know why.

No one was smuggling triradium, right?

I'm sure of it.

You ever get tired of this cat and mouse
game we play?

I don't mean just us. Our federations?

You know I do.

You know, when I woke up this morning, I
wasn't thinking, how can I get the edge

on those coalition bastards?

I was thinking maybe I'd ask her out to
dinner tonight.

That's what's important in life.

You know, if we'd been on Earth, I'd
have taken you to Captain Frankie's

Chalet.

It's on the PCH north of L .A. You ever
been there?

No, never been to L .A.

Some people would say that's a good
thing.

It's all junk.

Anyway, once we were there, we'd have
gone strictly high cholesterol.

Fried potatoes, spicy rice, some serious
coleslaw, and my personal favorite,

black catfish.

All washed down with some really nice
cold beer.

Cold beer.

That'd be nice.

And that's your idea of a first date?

Yeah, that'd be great.

If it's still there.

But you'd have to trust me.

Which is my whole point.

You have to trust first and then find
out.

Daryl, what about Colonel Paz? Is he
going to play this by the book?

There is no book.

It's fear that's running the show now.

Do you have any missiles?

Missiles? Missile systems are strictly
prohibited under the Joint Colonization

Bible. What's your first strike policy?

Do you mean to tell me the alliance
violated the bylaws?

What's your first strike policy?

We don't have one. All military
operations have first strike policies.

have one. First strike policy. We don't
have missiles.

Remember?

Just like you.

But if we did, I'd say our policy is to
launch a warning of any hostile

activity.

Just like you.

Come on. What happened?

Something exploded in the left hole.
Doctor, the solid peeled off. We're

to have to go outside and inspect the
damage.

Go to DEFCON 1.

Switching missiles to standby mode.

Major? Colonel!

It may not have been an attack.

The oxygen conduit blew from the inside.
You can tell by the way the metal's

curling outward.

Or a commando unit from just over that
hill could have planted some explosives.

The shockwave could have damaged the
pipe and made a pinch.

And what, the tear was caused by a
pressure buildup? Doesn't fit. And if it

wasn't a commando unit, then somebody
sabotaged us from the inside. It's pure

oxygen pouring through that pipe. It
wouldn't take much to ignite it,

at that pressure.

How'd that thing hack down?

Go to DEFCON 2. Terminate missile pre
-launch sequence.

Downgrade missiles from standby to
inactive.

Want to know my theory?

All Talos had to do was roll a thermal
charge on a timer down an access valve.

Bomb goes off, quick change in pressure
expels it outside.

How am I sounding so far?

To be honest, paranoid.

Colonel, Sergeant Nichols' team has just
returned from their recon of the fuel

bunker. They're decompressing in airlock
A.

Put them on the main screen.

Yes, ma 'am.

Coming up onto the main screen now.

Sergeant Nichols.

It's a real mess out there, ma 'am. The
air is still murky, so visibility is way

down. But from what we could tell, it's
pretty much like Major Taleb said.

The airlock is still partially up, but
the fuel storage bunkers are toast.

We did find this.

Definitely a chump fuel canister, ma
'am.

And it has no tracking chip.

Secure that fuel canister, Sergeant, but
do not open it.

Last thing we need is a radioactive
flood.

Yes, ma 'am.

So now we know.

The coalition was smuggling triradiant.
All we know is that someone was using a

chump canister to smuggle triradiant.

Could be somebody from here.

You don't give up, do you?

We have incoming.

Repeat, we have incoming.

Go to DEFCON 1.

Time to impact.

24 minutes, 3 seconds.

That's too slow for a missile. What's
the ID?

What the hell is POD? Still getting no
response.

Prepare to initiate armor sequence.

Maybe their antennas are still down.
Hell, they are.

It's a runaway. They've lost one of the
four. And it's straight at us.

Target missiles one and two for Trump
base. Missile three is for the drone.

Targeting missiles one and two on Trump
base. Three is on the drone.

It's moving too slowly to be a missile.

It's just a drone.

It's a drone, all right, filled with
high explosives.

You can bet your life.

Trying to trick us, James. That's why
they're not responding.

They want to make us think it's chaos
over there.

Communications down, drones running
wild. All we're missing now is a

distress call.

This is crazy. If we launch, they'll
retaliate. You know they have missiles?

Did she tell you that? What else are you
holding back?

Nothing. She wouldn't confirm anything,
but she implied that their launch policy

was the same as ours.

Now, if that's true, think of what
you're doing. If you launch, they'll

with everything they've got.

We could wipe each other out, and then
there'd be no one left alive.

No one.

So what? We let them kill us so at least
someone survives?

If that means keeping the human race
alive, yes.

Now all we have to do is knock down the
drone. The drone is a test.

Or a solve.

But we don't have time to find out
whether it's a runaway or a real threat.

Because by the time we do, they'll
already have launched and it'll be too

for us.

Those people have killed everyone you
loved.

Everyone I've loved. They are not the
ones who deserve to continue.

A billion people are dead down there
because of them. We're launching.

We don't have authorization to do that.
Only people who can authorize us are

dead. Punch in your code, Major.

Give me the chump face.

Stay as you are. Incoming drone contact
in 22 minutes.

Punch in your code, Major. You can't arm
the warheads without my authorization

code, and I'm not giving them to you
until we know what's going on. We have

talk to Colonel Paz. The only thing you
have to do is punch in your code. It's

your duty and an order.

Now punch it in.

I can't do that, ma 'am. Sergeant
Nichols or Ref Major Bowen?

and bring me the arming code from the
safe minute quarters.

Sergeant Nichols, I'm placing Colonel
Elliot under arrest. I'm in charge here,

Major, and I'm ordering you to move.
Sergeant Nichols, I am now assuming

command. Place Colonel Elliot under
arrest.

Ma 'am, I can bypass this code.

Sedetsky. Talk to me. Okay.

By toss a virus into the main processor,
it'll find the initialization file.

Have a couple of minutes to bypass the
system's firewalls before the backup

processor detects what's happening, eats
the bug, and resets. How much time?

It's hard to get in the money, ma 'am.
Ten minutes, maybe 15.

Well, I'll be the main course at a hot
damn luau in 20.

You're making a mistake, Sam. I don't
have a choice, Major. You won't give me

the option.

Incoming drone.

Contact in 21 minutes. Do it.

Sergeant, find Major Bowen to quarter.

Break a piece off of here using this
crowbar and pry the door open.

You'll do that.

You can't shoot both of us at once.

Forget the crowbar.

Let's get this override panel open.

Even if we get out of here, we're not
going to be able to prove that your base

wasn't flung on pyridium.

All the chips were recorded in your base
as well as ours.

We just have to scan the chip on the
canister and I'll show Elliot how the

records account for it. What chip?

The canister didn't have a chip that's
hooked. Elliot was so sure your base was

smuggling tri -radium. No chip?

When we first started testing the
ground, we used mob canisters.

Without any chips?

Exactly. We didn't need them because the
canister doesn't contain any tri

-radium.

Edwards! Edwards!

I can prove the coalition wasn't
smuggling tri -radium. Edwards, open up!

prove it!

Major?

Do you really think you can stop all
this?

Not for men here.

Eight minutes and 42 seconds to impact.

How much time to launch?

Missiles will be armed and ready to
launch in five, Colonel.

Any word from Paz?

No, ma 'am.

Launch as soon as they're out. Yes, ma
'am.

Incoming, John.

Contact in eight minutes.

You two don't need to be here.

I'm staying.

Me too.

Get the door.

Well,

there's no triradium contamination on
the outside.

That's good, right?

There's only one way to find out.

Oh, man.

Here you go.

Drop your weapon!

He's trying to save us!

Drop your weapon! You hit the canister,
you're going to contaminate the whole

base! Drop your weapon!

Major!

It's only seven minutes.

Ten.

It's only ten.

Elliot! Missiles are armed.

Elliot, there's only...

We've tried.

They're not responding.

Fire missiles.

Firing missiles.

Sergeant, arrest these men and Major
Taleb. Confine them to airlock D and

them there.

Well, the door's shut if you have to.
Yes, ma 'am. Listen to me. There is no

smuggling plot. The hull breach in the
mess room, Taleb's team getting killed

was all just a coincidence caused by the
shockwave.

We're not at war.

Ma 'am.

Ma 'am.

I'm getting an incoming transmission
from the drone.

Put it on screen.

We can hear them, but they can't hear
us. Why the hell aren't they answering

Please. This is Colonel Fass.

The shockwave has destroyed our base.

We have many injured and dying.

Please come in.

The destruct code for the missiles.

There isn't one.

What do you mean there isn't one? The
processor destroyed it when it was

the virus.

There's no destruct code. We can't stop
our missiles. We write a new one.

Coalition drone, please come in.

Let's get those codes happening.
Coalition drone, come in, please.

Three lines one to coalition drone,
please come in.

Three lines one to coalition drone,
please come in.

It's not working.

Alliance missiles detected.

Coalition counter -strike initiated.
Oasis detected the missiles and has

launched a counter -strike. Six
coalition missiles incoming.

Alliance anti -missile systems active.

What the fuck are you doing?

Sedevsky. Stop. Sedevsky. Right now.

Yeah, I'm working on it. Elliot. We've
established an audio contact.

You've got to tell Paz to abort those
missiles.

No, Paz, this is Major Taylor. Abort the
missiles. Abort the missiles.

Fire the anti -missile missiles.

Maybe some of us will survive. Firing
anti -missile missiles.

Yes, thank you.

Let's see what else we have left. This
is the Earth Calling Free Alliance Base.

Come in, please.

Colonel Elliott, I repeat, if you are
receiving us, please respond.

It's us. We've had an incident.

Actually, Sam, it's a nightmare.

An Alliance base working on an
antimatter weapon prototype was

reactor failure on the moon.

Hell itself has come alive.

The Alliance and the Coalition have
called an emergency meeting and as of

hours ago have declared a permanent and
immediate peace agreement so we can

concentrate on rebuilding all of our
futures.

It was close, Sam.

become this close to complete
annihilation.

Thank God you didn't have to do that.

You and us are an inspiration to
everyone here on Earth.

Keep up the good work, Sam.

Commander -in -Chief of Space Forces.

If mankind is to survive, we must learn
to trust one another.

And that trust begins in the human
heart.
