Thank you.

It's very kind of you to spare me the time, Dr. Clement.

Not at all, Mrs. Gale. But you have caught us at a most unfortunate moment.

are in the middle of a breakdown.

Oh? Now, tell me, what is your interest in computers?

And Plato in particular?

Plato? Well, that is what we call him.

Oh, the computers in this building?

Plato is this building, Mrs. Gale. The whole building.

Power plant here, air conditioning there.

That's to keep his mind cool. He doesn't run a temperature.

Oh, I'm quite serious. Now, you see these pipes? Well, that's refrigeration.

Yes. Well, some parts of his brain run at four degrees absolute.

Well, it's pleasant enough for us in summer. Anyways, we live inside him. You

talk about him as if he were a person, not a machine.

So we do. Well, I'm sorry.

Now, tell me, what help can we be to an anthropologist?

Well, I'm interested in translating dead languages.

But you do realize, of course, that we are still at the experimental stage.

Ah, Dr. Farrow, come and rescue me before I'm persuaded in some wide scheme

worse than you and your ballistics.

Dr. Farrow is an astronomer.

Oh, but of course, you know one another. I forgot. Yes, we do. How do you do?

Not nearly well enough, I'm afraid.

Tell me, do you manage to sell our director the idea of using our machine

translation purposes? No, but I'm trying.

I'm afraid you can't tell us anything at the moment because we're strictly non

-functional. Yes, have you found out the cause of the breakdown?

A cooling, I think. But Brinsell's not in yet. And he always yells blue murder

if we open up the memory unit without him. Oh, and of course, the boy wonders

his best, which doesn't help. Monday morning.

Oh? Who's the boy wonder? You'd better come and see for yourself, Mrs. Gale.

an anthropologist, this should be quite an education.

Come on, try again. What?

But where the devil is he then? Look, he should have been here an hour ago. It's

half past. How should I know?

Well, we certainly can't get started until Brent's all opened up and that's

good as the freezing system. What's the matter?

What's the matter?

How should I know what's the matter?

It's in here.

Oh, maybe a mouse got in the pipes.

Anyway, it's Brent's problem, isn't it?

Oh, Jan.

Jan. Janice here. Would you put something through for me? What would you

Anything.

Say 4 by 3 by 6 squared all squared, okay?

Fine.

Let's see that.

1, 7, 5, 8, 9, 1, 9, 2, 9, 7, 8, 3,

0, 4.

Oh, and so on and so forth. Well, either you're both right or you're both wrong.

It's all right, sir. We can both add up.

Point something else, will you? I want to try the transfer circuit.

Division, right?

Divide 3259 by 263. How about that? Right, all right.

He does that in his head?

He does.

If anything is wrong, he does the written.

1, 2, decimal 3, 9, 1, 3,

4, 9, 8, 0, 9, 8, no, 8,

2.

Hello, hello. What have we here?

A charming visitor.

Do you want to see me perform again?

I think it's marvelous.

Thank you.

I'm sorry about that. Take no notice. Dr.

Hurst, Mrs. Gale. How do you do?

I see what you mean about the boy wonder.

Dr. Clemens, this is becoming impossible. I'm neither blind nor deaf,

Well, what can we do for you? Are you on a conducting tour or...

Have your brains with you. Oh, no, please.

I've got brains with me.

Marvellous. What do you want to know?

Are you always like this or haven't you had breakfast?

Take that over to me.

I just got blood pressure, that's all.

They'd have me out of here in a shot.

Only I'm the only one who really understands how Plato is.

I know what makes him tick.

They haven't time to train up anyone else.

Isn't that so?

You haven't time to train anyone else.

Or comes about the material.

So they're lumbered with me.

Anyway, what's your life?

Anthropology.

And you call that a science or an art?

An art.

Well, you'll pass.

Will I? Yes, yes, I'm sure you will, Miss... Mrs. Gaines.

Oh. I'm a witch.

Oh, I'm sorry.

My husband was killed some years ago on our farm in Africa.

Look, I have to go up to town tonight, and I... Well, I wondered if you'd like

to come.

We could have dinner, and then there's this party.

Oh, really?

Well, yes. Otherwise, it only means Little Miss Blue Eyes over there.

Well, all right, all right. Forget it.

Anyone seen Bransel?

Anyone? No, not a sign of her. All right, all right. Okay, well, that does

I'll fix it myself. You got the key?

Please.

Thank you.

Oh, uh, do you want to come and have a look at our Holy of Holies? Oh, yeah.

Oh, come on, come on, open up.

Hold this, hold it.

Come in, quick.

No, quick.

Don't you, no.

Come in.

It's all right. Put it down.

The

outer

door was locked. You'll admit that. No. Look, it could have slammed shut on the

catch. And the emergency circuits, the gas leakage detector, the alarm system,

why weren't they working? Bredesen was working on the electrics. You know, he

might have disconnected them temporarily.

There is a safety drill, Dr. Farrow. I suppose you wouldn't know about that.

After all, you're only a... An outsider.

Yes, I know. But you haven't been here very long, have you? And it seems to me

you're jumping to conclusions.

What we want are facts.

Well, surely the police are looking into the whole affair. Isn't that enough? I

want more than the police. I want full security protection. But, my dear

fellow... It's done, it's done.

Have you ever tried to run a secure establishment, Dr. Hurst? It's like

a boa constrictor. Maybe, sir.

But you must admit there are people wondering about you. I'll vouch for Mrs.

Gale if that's what's worrying you. Yes, but she does know of Renssel's death.

Exactly. And how do we know she's not talking to the newspapers right now?

Oh, for heaven's sake, ma 'am.

She's a scientist, a professional.

I don't doubt very much whether she's gone running off to talk to the press or

to anyone else for that matter.

Say what?

Eat that.

Not bad.

Now, here we go.

Farrow, you know, well... If the doctor has a bit of immunity now, he'll panic.

Won't say my five, the Navy, anybody.

You, he can have.

Not me. I'm off to the Middle East tonight.

Oh, that's not so good. Why is Farrow there? He's an astronomer, isn't he?

he's using Theto to check some calculations on Starvelot. What about

lad, Kern?

I'm going to a party with him tonight.

Really? I shouldn't have thought he was your son.

How would you know?

He's my best contact at the moment. I'm, uh, cultivating him.

Come on, you'll have to do better than that.

Cultivating him?

Come along.

Patience. I'll get there.

He's an objectionable young man.

Go on.

You're staying right out of it?

Yeah, but you go right ahead, Mother Harley. You just send me a postcard.

Now, that's better.

Do you think I'm wasting my time?

Oh, of course you're not.

This thing is a computer, isn't it?

Very high speed, about a hundred times faster than anything else, though, I

understand. I did have it all explained to me, low -temperature stuff.

Cryogenics? Well, what's it used for, anyway?

Nothing, yes.

Go on.

They're not going to make it, you know. I'll give you one use for it, missile

interceptor. High -speed flight path calculation.

Nobody's been able to do it yet. It looks as though Plato might, which in

means... Same old thing, the technical race. Anything you can do, we can do

better. Well, it would be worth sabotaging. Of course it would.

Worth Brent's supply?

I'm afraid so.

And you'd better keep an eye on young Kearns. He's an ideal target for

subversion. Take one young conceited scientist...

A little pressure here, a little there. Talk to him. A few indiscretions. A bit

more pressure and... You're so right over the edge. What

is his interest apart from... I don't know.

I expect I shall find out tonight.

Nina, take one.

Please.

Do we have a drink first? It's all out

of house percentages, of course.

I'll have a gin and tonic, please.

Well, will you play or will you watch?

I'll watch.

Fine, I'm worth watching. Good evening, Nina. Let's have one gin and tonic and

I'll have a... I know, I think I'll stuff it for a while. Very wise. Well,

got an edge. Why lose it?

You a good poker player?

Wasn't everyone?

No, I'm not all that good.

But I have a few things that keep me ahead. You know, I can remember the

calculate the odds.

Yes, of course.

Is it practice?

No, it's not practice. It's something you're born with, like being a musical

genius.

Look at him, for instance.

He's drawing to fill an inside straight. Now, do you think he knows the odds

against it? I told you.

But you would?

Well, just, yeah, I would, yeah. I could couple around.

I see.

It's useful.

Well, I think we can all do with a drink.

Shall we take a couple of minutes then?

Yes, sir.

Our young friend has arrived.

Who's the girl?

Well, I don't know. I've never seen her before.

Nothing clicks in your photographic little mind.

She can't be anyone important.

No? No.

Look, maybe she just likes him.

You think so?

Maybe. Anyway, you talk to her.

Young Master Kearns is going to have rather a heavy evening, and I don't want

anyone whispering words of advice into his sweet little ear.

He's not bad.

Do you think you can manage him?

He's not dry behind the ears yet.

Anyway, you talk to her and mind your own business.

Now, she's not bad.

I might go for her myself.

That'll do the day.

Here we go for the kill.

Cocky, aren't you?

I love you, too. Just what?

Good evening, gentlemen.

Is there room for me?

Sure.

You feel lucky again this evening?

I told you luck has nothing to do with it. It's all up here.

How much?

Well, I'll have 30 for a start.

Good. Anyone feeling nervous?

Right. Are we sitting comfortably, then?

Good. Then I'll begin.

Right. Here we go.

Of course we do.

We all are.

You've never been here before, have you? No.

Well, somebody's got to hold his hand, I suppose.

It's usually a little blonde from where he works.

I'm so sorry. That was rather clumsy, wasn't it?

I'll survive.

I don't mind. Well, I would. I think he's dishy, darling, but that's all

is to it. If only he didn't have quite so much.

Well, anyway, have a drink.

Thanks, I've got one. For heaven's sake, do better than that, darling.

He's away for the evening. Believe me, you might as well get something out of

him. Nina, darling.

See you.

Thank you.

Why is your mink tonight?

I told you, it wasn't me.

What?

Didn't I tell you? Luck has nothing to do with it. It's all up here.

Now then, let's see. Where are we? Ah, yes.

Let all the small guns leave, huh?

Now, quietly, huh? Without any fuss. And make room for the big boys.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Good evening.

Oh, will you excuse me a minute? I want to have a word with my bird.

Oh, I'm sorry. I know how formal you are.

How's it going?

Don't you think you'd better stop while you're ahead? Oh, never, darling, never.

You all right?

All right.

I'm ballistic, sweetheart. I'm ballistic. What?

I'm watching.

You do?

Huh? Marvelous.

Now then, where were we?

Ah, yes.

Well now, gentlemen, from here on in, it's going to cost a great deal to play

with me.

Well, good evening.

Please excuse the intrusion. I just dropped in to feed the dog.

Time to see how the party went.

I thought you were supposed to be in the Middle East. Change of plan. I'm here

to protect you from assault.

Not that I think you need it. How is young Junior?

Bad. I'll see him into the bedroom. Then I know he'll be comfortable. You'll do

no such thing.

Can I give you a hand?

What happened? He played poker.

And? He lost.

He hadn't got his mind in the game, I'd say. How much?

About 500 pounds, I think.

500? What were you doing, encouraging him?

Oh, he doesn't need encouraging.

He can calculate the odds. He can follow the run of the cards.

Of course, they ganged up on him.

No cheating, no playing off the bottom? Nothing so crude as a little combination

play. They fixed my drink.

It was a nice party.

Nice people.

Well, I suppose I'm going to pay that 500.

Oh, and remember what I said about bringing pressure to bear. I wasn't

You want me to pay it for him?

Yep. Then we can find out where the opposition lies.

By the way, what is the opposition?

Do you know?

Could be a man called Brewster and a girl, but I'm not sure. They could be

gambling sharks.

Well, try and find out. The bank's open at ten.

I'll leave the rest to you.

Be good.

All right, all right, all right, all right.

Let's run it through again, then we'll run the test, Ed. Look, are you sure

we're all right?

I still think you should go and get some rest. Come on, you silly cow. Come on,

come on. Well, you haven't got all day.

Dr. Kearns, I apologize at once.

Yes, of course. I'm sorry, John. I didn't mean... No, I think we'd better

walk until you've got rid of this mood, and I don't want to see you back here

again till this afternoon.

Yes, sir.

Certainly, sir.

And who's going to feed Plato his instructions?

Dr. Farrow. He's not, you know. He's in London or somewhere.

That's why I gave them to me.

Well?

I bow my head in shame. I'm in a frivolous mood. I shouldn't take it out

That's all right.

Right. Shall we get on then, Big Chief? We have a schedule.

Hello? What are you working on? The list of calculations.

All right, hold on!

Hello, Captain.

How's your head today?

You cut me at the bottle last night, didn't you? It wasn't a particularly

one, but I... Not again.

Is he running or something?

I think so.

Hold him.

You'd better switch off, Jan.

Switch off!

Switch off!

I have!

The power is...

Did you power

off, Jan? Yes.

Something's happened. What?

Don't you have some fun?

Cut it!

Well, what are you going to do about it?

Relax.

Everything's fine.

The computer's out of action for a couple of months at least.

And what about the girl?

I'm afraid she's fond of the little... Yes, how fond?

Five hundred pounds worth?

I'm afraid so.

Oh, do be careful.

Look, you mind your business, I'll mind mine, and everyone will be happy.

Master Cairns will be quite receptive when I've had a few more IOUs out of

For Mrs. Gale to see you, sir.

Show her in, will you?

Yes, sir.

Be a good girl.

Black.

Don't like it?

You'll look better and better every time I see you.

But may I get you a drink?

No, thank you.

Let's get this over first, shall we?

Very well.

You quite, girl?

You know you could do better than Mr. Cairns.

He suits me.

Pity. You cared for it. I could arrange something for you. I run other things

besides poker games, you know.

I'm sure you do.

Don't misunderstand me.

I don't. No?

All right, then.

Why not have dinner with me tonight?

Thank you, but I have to get back to work this evening.

No drink, no dinner.

Then, uh...

How about a little flutter for this before you go?

Just once.

Win or lose.

Why not?

Thank you.

After you.

Snap.

Would you like me to try it on ace?

I expect you've trimmed the short sides for the aces.

Clever.

Dead clever.

Goodbye, Mr. Bruce, sir.

There's nothing in there.

Come on, let's try the kitchen.

Quick, someone's coming in.

Stand quite still.

Well?

I don't know what to say, but that's a change.

Sit down.

Now I'm going to phone the police.

No, don't!

Perhaps you'd like to tell me what it is you're looking for.

Well, I don't know, really.

Nicky thinks you're a policewoman.

Policewoman? That's a rapid change.

He thinks you're probably trying to get into his gambling business.

And if you were, he'd have to pack up and get out.

So he had to make certain.

So he told me to come round here to find out whether you were or not.

Oh, really?

Well, it's the truth.

It's nowhere near it.

Now, I'm going to make some tea.

I expect you'd like some, wouldn't you?

After that, we'll try again.

See if you can do better next time.

Good evening.

Well, what?

Well, I asked what are your views about getting security in. Security? You mean

men in trench coats and hats?

No, I don't think so, sir.

Look, I think I should... Now, look, I've got some work to do, even if you

haven't, all right?

I think I should tell you that Dr. Hamill takes a very serious view of your

behavior. Last night. I know the past few weeks. Look, you can tell the old

from me that Dr. Kearns may have had a hangover.

But he's still on the ball, you know. There's a faulty program.

Do you get that?

There was a fault on the test tape.

So you see for yourself, Mrs. Gayle, we are still unable to give any use to you.

You still haven't found out the cause of the breakdown yet?

It's rather technical.

I'm sorry.

You've out of our mind of my own business.

No, not at all. Now, will you excuse me for a moment?

Look after Mrs. Gayle, will you, Dr. Farrow? And mind...

Don't go playing with fire again.

Plato is in a very ugly mood just now. Right.

Keep an eye on him, will you? No, I mean... Hurst, a moment, please.

There's some sort of security flap on.

Dr. Hurst thinks we're being sabotaged.

Sabotaged? How?

Well, what it comes down to is that the test program that Dr. Kearns filled in

was the wrong one.

It wasn't the one I lit.

Instead of the usual test calculations, Plato carried instructions to erase all

the memory banks.

To erase them? Mm -hmm.

Three or four months' work.

All stored in there.

Gone. Might die.

Now you have to go back and start all over again.

I see.

Dr. Clemson, Dr. Hurst thinks it's Colonel's fault.

And you?

Well, he has been victim.

Yes. He's been losing money at poker, too.

Oh, has he?

Oh, I didn't know that.

Well, he could have made a mistake.

But I didn't. Look,

it was more than that. I was there. Things blew all over the place. Ah, yes,

was very odd, wasn't it? You see, the last person to put in the fuses put in

the wrong value.

And who was the last person to check the fuses?

Me.

Is that true?

I don't know.

I never know whether he's just saying something for an effect.

Well, there's not much point in hanging around here. Go ahead and drink. I'd

love one.

Oh,

dear. That might never happen.

Have an apple.

What?

To me?

Huh? You didn't do it, didn't you?

It wasn't your fault.

No, it wasn't.

What do you think happened?

I think, uh... I think we've been got at, love. That's what I think. Now then,

uh... Jimmy?

Huh? Oh, give me the meter, will you?

Oh, come on.

You don't really care very much, do you?

That better?

Uh, now, give me an input reading, will you, on, uh...

Three, four, and five.

Yes. It's Dr. Gaines.

Well, I know.

All right.

See you tomorrow morning.

Right, now, let's try six and seven, okay?

Not the turns.

Oh, sorry. Sorry to nervous you. What can I do for you? I want you to pay

attention to me.

After due consideration, we have come to the reluctant conclusion that you are

disrupting the Plato project.

Disrupting?

You mean sabotaging, don't you? No, not at all.

Any question of sabotage is a separate issue, and we are dealing with that.

No, I'm talking about you, Dr. Kern.

Your rudeness, your irresponsibility, your general lack of maturity.

All these, I'm afraid, make you quite unsuitable for the project at this

particular moment of crisis.

I'm sorry?

Well... Temporarily, you are relieved of your duties.

Thank you very much.

I'm sorry.

Good night.

I'm not going, you know.

I beg your pardon? What did you hire me for?

Not my manners, sure.

You hired me because I understand Plato. I know what makes him tick. Nobody else

does.

Do you mean to say that you're going to hand over Plato to that bunch of

halfwits?

All right, let's sit back.

He's all right, if he sticks to something.

Then there's Hurst.

That's a laugh.

Look, he's afraid of his own shadow, so what does that leave us with? That

leaves us with our dear little Miss Lingfield here.

Oh, she should be at home in someone's bed, not pushing buttons here. No, she

can get together with that anthropology bird and talk knitting. Listen, you can

all talk knitting for all I care. All right, look, if you want to do it, go

ahead. Go ahead, chase your spies.

All right, but leave me alone, will you? I've got work to do. If you want to get

rid of me, if you want to throw me out, bring your security men to do it for

you. Okay.

You just made my point, Dr. Kern.

Good night.

Hello. I heard there was some coffee always on the go here. May I?

It's over there. Help yourself.

Thanks. Would you like a cup?

No, thanks.

Actually, I wanted to ask you something.

Go ahead.

Who are you, Kathy? I mean, what are you doing here?

Oh, I thought you knew.

I'm interested in using your computer for translating dead languages.

Oh, I see.

You sound as if you didn't believe me.

Well, I think you ought to know that Jimmy and I... Look, I'm not interested

Dr. Kearns.

But if you are, you'd better stop him gambling.

I have tried, but...

Will you tell me how?

Well, that's your problem, but stop him.

Otherwise he'll make a fool of himself.

Might even be risking his job.

Have they found you a room yet? Yes, but right now I'm going back to the

computer block.

It'll be all locked up at this time of night. Oh, I don't think so. Dr. Cairns

is still working over there.

Oh, I see.

No, you still don't.

You coming?

Why no lights?

I don't know.

The doors are locked. Jimmy, let's go to your room.

Can you smell something?

Yes, I can.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

What's the matter?

I don't know. There's something wrong.

What?

Well, the door's locked.

Haven't you got a key?

Yes, I have.

I left the door open when I came out. My key's inside. This is the...

duplicate me from Clemens' office. Oh, and the emergency phone's been

disconnected, too.

That's an understatement.

It's hot in here.

And it smells stronger. Shall I switch on the fan?

Practical. Very practical.

Huh? What?

The temperature's going up. It's overheating.

What's wrong?

I don't know. I think...

Two murders.

Or two accidents.

Who says so?

Their own security people.

Ah, I had to think you were a number one suspect.

Hey, careful.

I should say the same to you.

Oh.

Brunsell was gassed or frozen or both, right?

Right. And Clemens, how did he actually die?

There was a bare electric cable shorting against the inside of the air trunking.

And he crawled into it to keep his head cool, I suppose.

Well, what about your young man?

Kerns.

Well, where is he?

He's vanished.

Vanished? Well, that's marvellous. An entire scientific establishment has

into something like slaughter on Fifth Avenue.

The whole project's out of action. Two men dead. The one person who knows

anything about anything disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Oh.

Go and sit down.

Do you think you could manage to pour yourself a glass of wine?

Oh.

Parting present?

For what?

You going away somewhere?

I keep telling you, to the Middle East. I should be there three days ago, but

I'm so fascinated by the mess you were making, I couldn't tell myself away.

I'm just interested in finding Kern.

A bit cold.

How would you like it?

Herbs? Cheese?

Tomato?

Ham?

Plain.

And where's Kearns got to?

I think he's panicked.

We've got to find him before someone else does.

Like who?

The police.

Or anybody who wants them as badly as we do.

Mrs. Gale, what about her?

Of course.

She'll know where he is.

No. On second thoughts...

Good

evening.

I left the door open to let the smell out.

Yes, the place smells like a gas chamber.

What are you doing?

Perhaps you tell me what you want and then get out.

I want to know your interest in Dr. Kearns. What are you offering in return?

Dr. Kearns. We've got him.

You've got him?

Yes. He's leaving the country.

Defecting, you know.

You're lying.

Well, now this becomes more interesting. How do you know we're lying?

Because I know Dr. Kearns rather better than you do, it seems.

You know we are lying because you know where he is.

Clarissa?

What do you think you're going to do with that?

The gas pistol? Yes, I do know.

This kind is so messy, isn't it?

Now, you tell us where he is, or else we'll use that.

Well, how about it?

Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. The amateurs are still hard at it. My dear,

is quite ineffective beyond the range of three feet.

Excuse me. Right.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Still not in the Middle East?

It's funny you mention that. I miss my plane.

Is this Mr. Brewster? That's right, and this is Clarissa.

Yes, I remember you told me.

Well, I'll leave them in your hands.

I think this belongs on your wall.

I hope you'll catch it this time.

Catch it?

Your plane.

Oh, that reminds me. Do any of you know where Dr. Kearns is?

No?

How about you, my dear?

You're right. He's vanished.

You'll hand him over to the police when they arrive, eh?

That's a general idea.

Police.

Oh, hello.

My name's Carruthers.

That's it, is it?

We've just closed town.

Chip up.

If we'd done so in the first place, we might have avoided the death of our

director. I had hoped that you might admit I was right, but I suppose that's

much to expect.

Well, I suggest that you and you, Miss Linksfield, go on these.

And I, of course, will have to remain here to take charge of security.

And what about Dr. Cairns?

My dear young lady, I don't care where he is, and I don't know.

He had the mind and the manners of an adolescent, and I'm delighted that he's

out of the way.

Is whereabouts now the concern of the police?

Oh, by the way, that reminds me.

I have arranged that nobody from now on shall enter the unit without a pass.

That could mean we can't see any more of your Mrs. Gayle.

It is.

That was dead stupid of me, wasn't it? If I'd have known I was dealing with an

expert, I'd have clung to you with a spanner. What are you doing here?

Well, I just came to see if old man Clemens found out anything before they

killed him. How'd you get in?

Ah, well, see, that was dead clever of me. I never left.

You mean you've been here all the time? Yeah, well, I thought I might be next on

the list, so I went to ground at the most useful place I could think of. You

see, to forget, I know this place inside out.

Not up to be cooperator, you're just going to get in my way.

Look, you're a suspect for sabotage and quite possibly murder.

So I'd like to know what you're up to.

Well, right now, neither of us should be in here. So we attack along behind and

shut off those stairs on our way, okay?

You're making a lot of noise. Nah, you could let off a bomb in here and no one

in here. You're right in the very heart of things.

It's just you, me, and old pleasure.

One of us was around when old man Simmons was dead.

So you think he was killed?

Yes, I do, and so do you.

Do you know what I'd do if I wanted to murder someone in here?

Hmm? Tell me.

Well, I'd fix up some sort of booby trap, like, let's say, a... A burr wire.

Rubbing against the inside of that air tunnel.

Yes, but then you've got to get your victim to crawl into the tunnel.

Oh, yes, it's much better if I can get him to do that.

I mean, it looks more like an accident, doesn't it, than, say, uh... Well, say,

having him lying on the floor here, for instance.

Oh, yeah.

He'd have to get up there by himself.

Do you remember when we came in here, you said you thought you could smell

something? Yes, I remember. Well, that's how I do it.

First of all, I'd lock the door. Then I'd disconnect the emergency telephone.

You remember?

Go on. Right. Well, then I'd arrange for a small scape of gas. They're the same

type of culprits, okay?

Right. Now, I'm the victim.

I smell the gas.

I know it's deadly. I try to get out. I try the door. It's locked. The

telephone? Dead. All right?

I begin to think maybe I'm not supposed to get out of here. But remember, I know

this place. I know that even with that door locked, there is a way out of here.

It's risky, but I've got to try.

Out along the air tunnel.

So you start to crawl along, push against the live wire against the side

tunneling, and that's it.

And it looks like an accident.

You liked Dr. Cameron.

Yeah, I did, so let's get on with it, shall we? Get on with what? What were

supposed to be doing? Why do you think he was killed, huh?

Because he found out that the Plato Project was being sabotaged. Exactly,

what's more important, who was the saboteur?

Well, that's not going to help us now, is it? Oh, now, you seem to forget. I

knew the old man. Listen, he was a fighter.

He was locked in here, all right. He thought he might not get out.

Right? Do you know what I think he did?

I think he talked to Plato.

And Plato's going to talk to us.

He could have used almost any code, and if he did, it'll be in there.

Code? Yeah, it's about 150 degrees below zero, isn't it?

Right, now then, you remember the last thing we had? Wiped out all of Plato's

stored memory, so anything else that is in there now must have been put in

later. More than likely by the old man, so what I am going to do is I'm going to

punch out each memory unit in turn, then we go through there and see what comes

out. Right, now then, let's start with this one, shall we?

Nothing new.

What?

Nothing there?

That's it.

Now what?

I must have tripped the safety device.

It's all right. Don't worry about it. The lava's out in a minute.

I hope so.

Well, the circuit doesn't know.

That means the door was shut from the outside.

Well done.

Well, yes, but I don't see the point. I mean, we're perfectly safe in here. This

room is airtight. There's enough air in here to last us for about, say, 48

hours. Supposing the alarm circuit isn't working again?

No, well, somebody's bound to come by. They'll see that the door's shut.

have us out, and the GP and Bob's your uncle. All we've got to do is just wait.

You know something? What?

It's getting colder.

That's it.

Kathy, I'm an idiot.

Come here.

Come here.

Let me see.

Hold on a minute.

Oh, it's all right. Don't bother about that. Come on, come on.

Don't.

Look.

Come here.

What are you going to do?

Well, I'm going to try and get Plato to call for help for us if I can.

Let me do it.

Just a couple more.

I don't know if this will work. I really don't know, but it's worth the time.

Emergency. Main control room.

Oh, it's all right for you, Kathy, you know.

All women have an extra layer of fat. It's nothing personal. You understand,

don't you?

I can hear something.

Kathy, can you hear me? You all right?

Just keep going.

Come on.

Come on, will you?

Who are you?

What are you doing? I'm just passing through, I assure you. Can you open that

door? Why? There are two people in it. Mrs. Gale and Dr. Kearns, I think.

Good.

Now, put this around you.

Thanks.

Dr. Kearns, what is all this? Somebody's had him.

Good. Good.

I don't remember mine about that. Switch on Plato. What happened? It's quite

simple, you see.

Someone murdered Clemens and the same person tried to murder us. Whoever it

Plato knows who it is and now he's going to tell us.

Are you okay?

Is he alive?

He can handle it.

Say it.

Oh, you do look nice.

You've almost completely thawed out.

There we are.

Thanks.

I should never have left you alone.

A few more moments and you would have been vacuum -packed along with your

boyfriend. Why don't you go and... I'm just going. I just dropped by to bring

Sheba in here for you. Will you look after me? Quarantine, you know.

Where are you going?

Oh, don't tell me. Let me guess. It couldn't still be the Middle East, could

My plane leaves in an hour. Hooray.

Now, look here. Will you look after Sheba this way?

Half a pound of raw meat.

Oh, Sheba.

Some seaweed powder.

And a special teaspoonful of cod liver oil. And a long walk daily.

Okay? Fine. Oh, by the way, have you got the IOU?

Yes.

And that's all there.

Cranky love.

£500.

I don't want it back. Buy yourself a fur coat.

You never know.

We might have another cold snap.
