you

One more day to go. Yep, one more day.

Then, back to my favorite planet, Earth.

You know, Grant, we're going to miss you.

Sure. No, really, I mean, having a character like you around really breaks

monotony. I'd love to stay, really, but... Oh, I know, you've got a hundred

chicks just waiting for you to call.

Well, let's not go overboard.

80 or 90, maybe?

More coffee.

Thank you, sir.

Hey.

New port secure and tested.

Repressurized.

I want every part of this sphere searched.

I want the remains of that port collected from outside and

I want the answer.

Astronaut William Grant.

Killed in the line of duty, April the 12th, 1981.

There's your answer

We've

calculated that the projectile was fired from a group of rocks about 200 meters

from the base

The chemical analysis hasn't told us much, except it's part alloy.

One of the constituents is unknown on Earth.

Now, you're saying that a UFO landed on the moon, undetected, and one of its

occupants got out and fired this projectile at moon base.

Three days ago, a particularly large stream of meteorites played havoc with

tracking system.

It could have landed then. Yes, yes.

Then just taken off again after the attack.

No, the interference didn't last long enough.

It's still somewhere on the moon.

I've had the interceptors searching for the last 24 hours.

And if they find it?

My orders are seek and destroy.

When is

the next lunar launch possible?

At 1400 hours tomorrow, sir.

Alec, I'm going back to moon base with Commander Forster.

You will assume command here.

Right.

Oh, and Alec, would you get me everything we've got on the

UFOs in the Earth's atmosphere?

Give me 30 minutes.

Commander, I want you to countermand your orders to the interceptors.

Tell them to seek and observe.

Yes, I know, I know.

The natural reaction is to want to hit back.

I liked Bill Grant, too.

But we know that a UFO disintegrates if it stays too long on Earth.

All of our evidence suggests that it has some reaction with our atmosphere.

And there's no atmosphere on the moon.

Exactly.

This may be our best chance ever to get our hands on a UFO intact.

Now, look, Foster, we won't be able to leave for another 23 hours.

Why don't you go somewhere and unwind?

Yeah. Think maybe you're right.

I'll leave an address where you can contact me.

I think I know where.

Woman,

you've got to try to please me.

You've got to do what I ask when I ask you to.

They're beautiful.

Why didn't you call?

I look such a mess.

Oh,

Foster. You'll be home in time for supper.

Moonbase.

You better tell one of those astronauts to get those aerial photos in here fast.

That's the first thing he'll ask for. The second thing, Space Tracker

Harrington, the first thing is a cup of coffee. Perhaps you'll be good enough to

organize that.

Miss Barry.

Yes, sir? I met your father about a month ago. I was happy to tell him I

you're settling in extremely well.

Thank you, sir.

Now, if you'd ask someone to bring the aerial photographs along to the leisure

sphere, please.

Sir.

Oh, Harrington.

That's with cream and sugar, please.

Yes, sir.

Infrared from 30 ,000 feet.

You say it's in there.

Yes, sir. Here's a blow -up.

Ah, yes.

There it is.

How long would it take a moon mobile to get into that area?

It's just below the Terminator.

All right, let's set it up.

I suggest we use two mobiles, a couple of men in each.

Fine. Who do you suggest as crew?

I'd like a crack at that, sir.

Thank you.

Mark can handle it.

He knows the area.

Fine. You can choose your own navigator. Thank you, sir.

Now, that just leaves the other moon mobile.

I'll pick my own crewmen as well.

I suggest we use a missiles operative.

As moon base commander, your place is in the control sphere.

Maybe, sir.

But I was the one who saw Bill Grant's face as he tried to make it to that

airlock.

Port of control.

Three miles from Terminator.

Roger.

He'll soon be in darkness.

Tell them to stick together.

Control to mobiles.

Maintain close visual contact.

Roger, Control.

Did you hear that, Mark?

Don't worry, sir.

I'll be breathing down your neck all the way.

Just under two miles from target.

Listen, Foster, at the first sign of trouble, get the blazes out of there and

I'll send the interceptors in. Is that understood?

Understood. But we won't need them. Out.

We should be able to see them from the top of the next ridge.

We'll leave the mobiles here and go in on foot.

Roger.

Is there all right? Great. Any sign of life?

No.

Control, have positive sighting of UFO.

Position? In the center of a crater, just as it was in the aerial shots. It

hasn't moved.

What does it look like?

Difficult to say.

But from its attitude, it could have been damaged on landing.

What about the radiation check?

Negative. It's just sitting there.

I suppose it's just possible it might be abandoned.

There's only one way to find out.

Move in in two minutes.

Right.

Yellow alert.

All air supplies A -OK.

Time check.

11 -04 -45.

Now. Check.

Now listen.

There's a rock just over that ridge.

Wait till the guy ahead of you reaches it before you come over the top.

Right. Who's first in line?

My privilege.

I'll follow you.

Then Brad and Don.

Any questions?

We could run into an alien out in the open.

Remember they're expendable. We want the UFO.

Red alert.

Interceptors, immediate launch.

Program onboard computer for attack.

Yes, sir.

Send the interceptors in, but tell them to hold their fire till I give the word.

Are you okay? Yeah.

Straker says to pull out.

We'll pin down here.

Look, I'll go get a moon mobile.

What if the UFO takes off?

It's a chance I've got to take.

Give me two minutes.

ETA target, four minutes.

This is Control.

How soon will you be clear?

Couple of minutes, sir.

What's the holdup?

We'll be clear any minute now, sir.

Well, back to the mobiles.

interceptors 90 seconds from target something must have gone wrong come on

go

the

interceptor leader has visual contact the ufo is lifting off order the attack

Maybe he was thrown clear.

I thought there was one chance in ten million.

It could happen.

You said yourself the moon mobile was totally destroyed.

It's a bad business, Alec.

One moonmobile totally destroyed.

The other so badly damaged it was a miracle it made it back to base.

The moonmobiles can be replaced.

And Commander Foster can't.

Yes.

That's one of the reasons I'm staying on here for a couple of days.

A new commander will have to be appointed.

I didn't mean that.

I know what you meant.

I feel the same way.

Look, Alec, there's one thing you can do for me.

Foster had no close relatives, but there was someone.

A girl?

Yes. She was as close to him as anyone.

I think she should be told.

All right.

What's her name?

Tina Duval.

Apartment 19.

Windermere Hall.

Right.

Miss Duval?

Yes? My name is Alec Freeman. I'm a friend of Paul Foster.

Relax, Lieutenant.

Relax.

I was just going to grab some sleep, sir.

Yes.

It's been a long 12 hours.

Mark, I'm sure you realize how important this base is.

It's a vital link in our defense system.

Now, whoever commands it has got one of the most responsible jobs in Shadow.

I'd like you to consider it, Mark.

Are you offering me the job, sir?

Yes. Does that surprise you? Not altogether.

And does it surprise you if I say no?

Well, it disappoints me.

Well, you've done your duty.

You've asked.

And I've given you the know you wanted.

What do you mean, I've done my duty?

Sure. After Foster, I'm the senior man.

The obvious choice, if you like.

So, I offer you the command of Moonbase, and you say no.

Why?

I asked you why.

Because of this.

Oh, don't give me that.

Racial prejudice burned itself out five years ago.

How would you know?

All right.

On the surface, maybe.

But deep down inside of people, it's still there.

Maybe it will never show.

And maybe it will.

Like sometime I'm ordering a guy out on a mission.

A time the chances are he wouldn't be coming back. Look, I'm not offering you

some easy number.

And I don't care if you're polka dot with red stripes.

You're the best man for the job. Now, do you want it?

Do you want it?

Yes, sir.

I would like it.

But not like this.

No one wanted it like this.

Now, you get some rest, Commander.

Thank you.

Astronaut Watson, please report to medical.

Good morning, sir.

Morning.

I'd just like to say we're glad to have you with us, sir.

Thank you very much.

This is Control to Moon Mobile 3.

Proceed to Area 183 as instructed.

Yes, sir.

You've sent out a mobile?

Yes, sir.

To the UFO crater?

Yes. To look for wreckage of the UFO.

I did not know I needed your permission.

You don't, Commander.

Carry on.

Thank you.

I'll take her a couple of degrees over the port.

It's a back -revassed field about ten miles on.

We'll go round it. Right.

I see what you mean.

About what?

That crevasse field straight ahead.

Rough terrain.

cylinder hurry listen listen we're safe we're safe

they found us now now you stay here do you

understand

There's an alien.

He's back there.

He saved my life. He's a friend.

He's trying to say something.

He has radios, U .S. Can't you hear me? An alien.

Okay, Commander, we can't hear you.

Right, let's lift him up.

Don't you understand?

He's a friend.

Take it easy, Commander.

What's he trying to say?

No, no, let's get him back to the moonmobile.

Shall we carry

him, sir?

Hold it a minute.

Listen, there's an alien.

He's a friend.

He saved my life.

Don't you understand?

An alien.

Alien?

He said something about an alien.

An alien.

You're right. I don't understand.

I'm told you're dead.

Then you're alive.

You walk in here as if nothing has happened.

I can't take it anymore.

You've always known there are things I can't tell you.

About your job.

But does it come before everything?

Even me?

Tina.

I'm sorry.

So my poor...

Buy you a drink, Alec?

Fine.
