1
00:01:32,426 --> 00:01:33,426
- Mars.

2
00:01:34,678 --> 00:01:36,637
They'll be leaving
day after tomorrow.

3
00:01:36,638 --> 00:01:38,306
I wonder if they'll make it.

4
00:01:38,307 --> 00:01:40,225
- And what they'll
find if they do.

5
00:01:41,268 --> 00:01:42,269
- Life maybe.

6
00:01:43,312 --> 00:01:44,479
Life of some sort.

7
00:01:45,856 --> 00:01:47,356
- Perhaps someday
we'll have a telescope

8
00:01:47,357 --> 00:01:48,775
powerful enough to see that far.

9
00:02:39,868 --> 00:02:42,495
- Dr. Lane, that's the highest
priority secret message

10
00:02:42,496 --> 00:02:44,915
we've ever had at the
Pentagon, and we've had some!

11
00:02:45,999 --> 00:02:47,583
How does it feel to be the head

12
00:02:47,584 --> 00:02:49,710
of a project as
immense as this one?

13
00:02:49,711 --> 00:02:52,338
- Truthfully, it's
a little terrifying.

14
00:02:52,339 --> 00:02:53,839
Ah, but you mustn't
print that, Steve.

15
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,592
- Well, I should think
it would be terrifying!

16
00:02:56,593 --> 00:02:58,636
I know enough about rocket
propulsion to believe

17
00:02:58,637 --> 00:03:00,805
there's an outside chance
you'll make it there,

18
00:03:00,806 --> 00:03:02,891
but aren't you worried
about getting back?

19
00:03:04,476 --> 00:03:06,227
- I used to climb
the Swiss Alps.

20
00:03:06,228 --> 00:03:07,812
Our greatest ambition
then was to climb

21
00:03:07,813 --> 00:03:09,814
the highest possible peak.

22
00:03:09,815 --> 00:03:11,816
We worried later
about getting back.

23
00:03:11,817 --> 00:03:13,776
- Can I print that, Doctor?

24
00:03:13,777 --> 00:03:15,444
- If you wish.

25
00:03:15,445 --> 00:03:18,198
- Well, Steve, this is a
plum assignment for you,

26
00:03:19,825 --> 00:03:22,743
making a trip of this sort
merely to report what you see.

27
00:03:22,744 --> 00:03:25,329
- Yep, I'm the only one
going who isn't a scientist.

28
00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:27,331
-And you deserve it.

29
00:03:27,332 --> 00:03:30,334
You made a wonderful reputation
as a war correspondent.

30
00:03:30,335 --> 00:03:32,712
-You've been reading the
jacket cover of my last book.

31
00:03:34,798 --> 00:03:35,798
Dr. Lane,

32
00:03:37,342 --> 00:03:38,718
I once heard of
a man who climbed

33
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:40,928
a higher mountain than
anyone else alive,

34
00:03:40,929 --> 00:03:43,013
but he was never able
to get down again

35
00:03:43,014 --> 00:03:45,225
and what's left of
him is still up there.

36
00:03:46,852 --> 00:03:48,854
- The point is,
Steve, he made it.

37
00:03:50,856 --> 00:03:52,732
Where are you going?

38
00:03:52,733 --> 00:03:55,568
- Pref light interviews with
everybody making the trip.

39
00:03:55,569 --> 00:03:56,777
I think I've gotten as much

40
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,779
from Dr. Lane as
he's gonna give.

41
00:03:58,780 --> 00:04:00,531
- Oh, I'll give you the scientific
reasons why I wanna go-

42
00:04:00,532 --> 00:04:03,451
- I'm the non-scientist,
remember, Doctor?

43
00:04:03,452 --> 00:04:06,370
No, I wanna write about
the personal human reasons

44
00:04:06,371 --> 00:04:08,790
why a man would risk death
to go out into space.

45
00:04:09,875 --> 00:04:11,834
You've given me yours.

46
00:04:11,835 --> 00:04:14,044
- I gather you don't
think they're too good.

47
00:04:14,045 --> 00:04:15,963
- I'm on my way
to see Jim Barker.

48
00:04:15,964 --> 00:04:17,882
Maybe your chief engineer
has a different reason

49
00:04:17,883 --> 00:04:19,049
for wanting to go.

50
00:04:19,050 --> 00:04:20,634
- Oh, I'm sure he must have.

51
00:04:20,635 --> 00:04:22,470
- Steve, I'm a little puzzled.

52
00:04:22,471 --> 00:04:23,888
You're gonna write this all up,

53
00:04:23,889 --> 00:04:25,514
but how you gonna
file a story on Mars

54
00:04:25,515 --> 00:04:26,891
to be printed back here?

55
00:04:26,892 --> 00:04:28,559
- Well, General, I'm
afraid I can't give you

56
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,478
the answer to that one yet.

57
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:32,396
But, don't forget, while
en route, we're gonna drop

58
00:04:32,397 --> 00:04:34,733
these self-propelled space
cylinders aimed at Earth.

59
00:04:35,776 --> 00:04:37,568
They should land here.

60
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:38,736
- We'll be waiting for them.

61
00:04:38,737 --> 00:04:41,447
See you tomorrow at the takeoff.

62
00:04:41,448 --> 00:04:42,448
- So long.

63
00:04:43,742 --> 00:04:45,659
And so the exact time and place

64
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:48,454
of the takeoff will remain
a closely-guarded secret.

65
00:04:48,455 --> 00:04:49,747
As to the immediate reactions

66
00:04:49,748 --> 00:04:51,457
to the sensational announcement,

67
00:04:51,458 --> 00:04:53,083
Congress is demanding
to know why knowledge

68
00:04:53,084 --> 00:04:54,668
of so stupendous an undertaking

69
00:04:54,669 --> 00:04:56,754
has been kept so
long from the public.

70
00:04:56,755 --> 00:04:58,380
Several senators
have even questioned

71
00:04:58,381 --> 00:05:01,425
the advisability of the
very project itself.

72
00:05:01,426 --> 00:05:03,344
The feeling expressed
by many of them,

73
00:05:03,345 --> 00:05:05,346
whether we should
stay where we are.

74
00:05:05,347 --> 00:05:06,806
Government officials
were quick to label

75
00:05:06,807 --> 00:05:08,057
these remarks as isolationist.

76
00:05:08,058 --> 00:05:10,351
- Oh, here we go again!

77
00:05:12,395 --> 00:05:14,104
Well, let's get on
with the interview.

78
00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:16,732
- You know, if we make
it, both the isolationists

79
00:05:16,733 --> 00:05:19,527
and the interventionists
will take their bows.

80
00:05:19,528 --> 00:05:22,072
- Wait a minute, you
said if we make it?

81
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:25,533
Tell me, Jim, what
do you really think

82
00:05:25,534 --> 00:05:27,535
our chances are
of getting there?

83
00:05:27,536 --> 00:05:30,955
- Well, everything we know
about astronomy, propulsion,

84
00:05:30,956 --> 00:05:33,707
and rocket navigation
tells us that we will.

85
00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:35,669
- Well, yeah, but there's
a lot we don't know.

86
00:05:37,462 --> 00:05:39,129
- There's a whole
universe out there, Steve.

87
00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:42,425
Totally unknown, beyond
anyone's comprehension.

88
00:05:44,094 --> 00:05:47,429
We try to figure it out when
we're kids, but we never can.

89
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:48,639
- Yeah.

90
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,015
Yeah, let me see
if I can't frame

91
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:52,101
my lead article featuring you!

92
00:05:52,102 --> 00:05:54,436
You see, I wanna
accent the human terms.

93
00:05:54,437 --> 00:05:57,022
About Jim Barker,
chief engineer,

94
00:05:57,023 --> 00:05:59,859
whose genius was
largely responsible

95
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:01,611
for the construction
of the rocket.

96
00:06:02,988 --> 00:06:04,530
The man with a
dream who couldn't

97
00:06:04,531 --> 00:06:07,616
live or think or
breathe anything else,

98
00:06:07,617 --> 00:06:09,034
who worked and planned for years

99
00:06:09,035 --> 00:06:10,745
to make this
expedition possible.

100
00:06:12,622 --> 00:06:14,832
The man with a skylight in
his Baltimore apartment,

101
00:06:14,833 --> 00:06:16,876
so he could sleep
under the stars.

102
00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:18,085
- You make it sound poetic.

103
00:06:19,838 --> 00:06:20,838
Excuse me.

104
00:06:29,180 --> 00:06:31,099
Oh, how are you, Carol?

105
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:36,020
Oh, Carol, I'd like you
to meet Steve Abbott,

106
00:06:36,021 --> 00:06:39,732
he's the newspaperman who's
going on the trip with us.

107
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:41,650
Uh, Steve, this
is Carol Stafford.

108
00:06:41,651 --> 00:06:42,611
- How do you do?

109
00:06:42,612 --> 00:06:44,069
- Hello.

110
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:45,237
- Uh, what are you
doing here, Carol?

111
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:47,531
- We had a date tonight, Jim.

112
00:06:47,532 --> 00:06:49,241
- Oh, uh, he held me up.

113
00:06:49,242 --> 00:06:52,161
- Oh, yes, I can see you're
all dressed to go out.

114
00:06:52,162 --> 00:06:53,203
-A drink?

115
00:06:53,204 --> 00:06:54,204
- No.

116
00:06:56,249 --> 00:06:58,918
- I understand you wanted
to interview me, Mr. Abbott.

117
00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:01,629
Well, you couldn't have
picked a better time.

118
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:04,757
I'm just in the mood to
tell the story of my life.

119
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:07,051
- Her brother was a
physicist, taught her a lot.

120
00:07:07,052 --> 00:07:08,552
She's a smart girl.

121
00:07:08,553 --> 00:07:10,179
- I certainly am.

122
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:12,723
- She learned spaceship
engineering in only three years.

123
00:07:12,724 --> 00:07:15,644
- Spending each day right at
the elbow of Mr. Jim Barker.

124
00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:18,896
Mr. Abbott, do you think
three years is too long

125
00:07:18,897 --> 00:07:20,189
to spend at somebody's elbows?

126
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:21,231
- Steve.

127
00:07:21,232 --> 00:07:23,108
Call me Steve.

128
00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:25,778
- I wasn't gonna let her take
a trip like this but, uh,

129
00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:27,613
she learned so much, she
became indispensable.

130
00:07:27,614 --> 00:07:29,281
I couldn't replace her!

131
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:31,533
- So you see, Mr. Abbott,
what you're looking at

132
00:07:31,534 --> 00:07:34,203
is an indispensable
scientific unit.

133
00:07:34,204 --> 00:07:36,789
The first assistant to the
pilot of a rocket ship.

134
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:38,792
- Well, now you have
the whole story.

135
00:07:41,044 --> 00:07:42,128
- I sure have.

136
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,603
- Professor William
Jackson is here, sir.

137
00:07:59,604 --> 00:08:01,146
- Tell him to come in.

138
00:08:01,147 --> 00:08:02,272
- Professor.

139
00:08:09,823 --> 00:08:11,281
- Be right with you.

140
00:08:11,282 --> 00:08:13,158
- I have only five minutes,

141
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:15,319
they're waiting to take me
to the television broadcast.

142
00:08:17,163 --> 00:08:19,623
- I thought I was
handling public relations?

143
00:08:19,624 --> 00:08:21,291
- Look here, I
don't even know you.

144
00:08:21,292 --> 00:08:23,627
I take the time and trouble
to come to your hotel and-

145
00:08:23,628 --> 00:08:26,588
- Because I haven't been
able to catch up with you!

146
00:08:26,589 --> 00:08:30,217
It was agreed that none of us
were to appear on radio or TV,

147
00:08:30,218 --> 00:08:32,177
because once we start
giving out interviews

148
00:08:32,178 --> 00:08:34,096
at random, and for
commercial gain-

149
00:08:34,097 --> 00:08:37,307
- The world has a right to
my opinions and observations.

150
00:08:37,308 --> 00:08:39,852
That's why I was invited on
this trip, to make observations,

151
00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:42,604
gather geological,
chemical, astronomical data.

152
00:08:42,605 --> 00:08:45,691
- Look, Professor Jackson,
you're a famous man,

153
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:47,944
one of the outstanding
scholars of our time.

154
00:08:49,362 --> 00:08:50,988
That's why you're
coming with us.

155
00:08:50,989 --> 00:08:52,949
But they'll be no
speeches on TV!

156
00:08:54,701 --> 00:08:56,035
Hello?

157
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:58,245
Get me Dr. Lane at the Radcliff.

158
00:08:58,246 --> 00:08:59,830
- I'm considered a scholar,

159
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:01,833
but, unfortunately, that
hasn't made me rich.

160
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:04,809
On the contrary, it's
left me quite poor.

161
00:09:06,171 --> 00:09:08,213
I am leaving behind
an ailing wife,

162
00:09:08,214 --> 00:09:09,923
a daughter whose husband
was killed in the war,

163
00:09:09,924 --> 00:09:12,009
and two young grandchildren.

164
00:09:12,010 --> 00:09:13,553
- Look, just a minute, Doctor.

165
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:17,723
- I was to be given $3,000 for
my appearance on television.

166
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:19,142
I wanted to leave it with them.

167
00:09:21,019 --> 00:09:22,020
- Oh, sorry, Doctor.

168
00:09:23,855 --> 00:09:25,731
Yes, I wanted to talk to
you, but it isn't important.

169
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:26,857
It can wait.

170
00:09:26,858 --> 00:09:28,317
Yeah, I'll see you later.

171
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:34,364
If you do a good job on TV,

172
00:09:34,365 --> 00:09:37,034
it will save me the
trouble of writing it.

173
00:09:37,035 --> 00:09:38,035
So go ahead.

174
00:09:39,037 --> 00:09:41,038
-Ah, thank you!

175
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:43,750
- See you tonight, when the
police escort picks us up.

176
00:10:34,843 --> 00:10:36,176
- Goodbye.

177
00:10:36,177 --> 00:10:37,719
- Good luck.
- Have a nice trip.

178
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,013
- Goodbye.
- Good luck.

179
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:41,181
- Goodbye, have a good flight.

180
00:10:41,182 --> 00:10:43,308
- Thank you.
- Goodbye.

181
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:44,434
- Goodbye!
- Goodbye.

182
00:10:44,435 --> 00:10:46,019
- See you again.
- Goodbye.

183
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:48,772
- Goodbye, sir.
- Good luck.

184
00:10:48,773 --> 00:10:51,734
- Come on, we'll watch the
takeoff from the control tower.

185
00:11:03,997 --> 00:11:05,330
- Well, I guess
that about does it.

186
00:11:05,331 --> 00:11:06,166
- Good luck, sir.

187
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:07,166
. - Thank you.

188
00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:28,478
- Only five of us.

189
00:11:28,479 --> 00:11:30,397
Seems lonely already!

190
00:11:30,398 --> 00:11:32,316
- Well, it was a matter of how
much weight we could carry.

191
00:11:32,317 --> 00:11:34,444
I would've liked to have
asked a dozen more people.

192
00:11:36,321 --> 00:11:39,114
- Hey, what happens when the
rocket finally levels off?

193
00:11:39,115 --> 00:11:40,532
Do we walk on the walls?

194
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:43,035
Oh, no, our gyro mechanism

195
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:45,204
keeps this cabin
vertical at all times.

196
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:47,080
When we're in horizontal flight,

197
00:11:47,081 --> 00:11:49,791
that hatch there will
lead to the tail sections.

198
00:11:49,792 --> 00:11:52,169
You better go there and lie
down and strap yourself in.

199
00:11:52,170 --> 00:11:55,131
-All right, Carol, turn on the
oxygen pressure for takeoff.

200
00:11:59,510 --> 00:12:00,887
. Oxygen okay.

201
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:07,809
- Control tower?

202
00:12:07,810 --> 00:12:09,144
Barker calling.

203
00:12:09,145 --> 00:12:10,270
Hello, Jim.

204
00:12:10,271 --> 00:12:11,521
This is Ed in the control tower.

205
00:12:11,522 --> 00:12:12,981
- Check my radio?

206
00:12:12,982 --> 00:12:14,858
Give me a reading.

207
00:12:14,859 --> 00:12:17,110
-Able George Baker ready, over.

208
00:12:17,111 --> 00:12:18,111
Check.

209
00:12:18,112 --> 00:12:19,821
Able George Baker ready.

210
00:12:19,822 --> 00:12:20,822
- It's okay, thanks, Ed.

211
00:12:20,823 --> 00:12:22,574
We're ready for takeoff.

212
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:23,825
Ground clear.

213
00:12:23,826 --> 00:12:24,869
All ready for takeoff.

214
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:27,579
And Jim?

215
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:28,414
Good luck, fella.

216
00:12:28,415 --> 00:12:29,539
- Thanks, Ed.

217
00:12:29,540 --> 00:12:31,208
I'll be seeing you.

218
00:12:31,209 --> 00:12:32,376
I hope.

219
00:12:34,504 --> 00:12:36,838
Are you ready, Dr. Lane?

220
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:37,965
All ready.

221
00:12:53,231 --> 00:12:54,565
- 10 seconds to takeoff.

222
00:12:56,192 --> 00:12:57,859
Nine.

223
00:12:57,860 --> 00:12:59,278
Eight.

224
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:00,570
Seven.

225
00:13:00,571 --> 00:13:02,114
Six.

226
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:03,448
Five.

227
00:13:03,449 --> 00:13:04,950
Foun.

228
00:13:04,951 --> 00:13:06,201
Three.

229
00:13:06,202 --> 00:13:07,536
Two.

230
00:13:07,537 --> 00:13:09,162
One.

231
00:13:38,943 --> 00:13:40,068
- Contact.

232
00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:41,320
We're ready, General.

233
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:42,946
- That you, Steve?

234
00:13:42,947 --> 00:13:44,156
You've been out in
space two days now,

235
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:45,615
got anything to report?

236
00:13:45,616 --> 00:13:47,076
- Sure have, big news!

237
00:13:48,995 --> 00:13:51,122
Carol Stafford floated up
to the top of the rocket.

238
00:13:52,498 --> 00:13:53,665
She kept bumping her
head until we got

239
00:13:53,666 --> 00:13:55,459
the magnetic field stabilizer

240
00:13:55,460 --> 00:13:58,545
to equalize the
gravitational pull.

241
00:13:58,546 --> 00:14:01,006
And how do like
those for big words?

242
00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:07,096
Here's Jim Barker, who'll
give you the official rundown.

243
00:14:08,556 --> 00:14:10,474
- Everything is going
according to schedule.

244
00:14:10,475 --> 00:14:12,184
At the present rate, we
should be out of the orbit

245
00:14:12,185 --> 00:14:14,978
of the Moon in 10 or 12 hours.

246
00:14:14,979 --> 00:14:16,229
After that, it should
be clear sailing.

247
00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:17,606
Anything else? Over.

248
00:14:17,607 --> 00:14:19,441
Jim, the Press Association here

249
00:14:19,442 --> 00:14:21,109
wants to know whether
we'll get some pictures

250
00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:22,652
to go with Steve
Abbott's stories?

251
00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:24,529
Over.

252
00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:27,157
- We'll launch our first
space cylinder in 24 hours.

253
00:14:27,158 --> 00:14:29,452
There'll be photographs
and observations in that.

254
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:32,204
If we lose radio contact,

255
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:34,373
Steve can send all his
stuff in the cylinder.

256
00:14:34,374 --> 00:14:35,999
Anything else? Over.

257
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,376
That's all for now, Jim.

258
00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:39,086
- Over.
- Okay.

259
00:14:39,087 --> 00:14:41,422
Rocket ship M-A-R-S
signing off for now.

260
00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:44,007
So long.

261
00:14:44,008 --> 00:14:45,217
I'm glad we don't
have to send all

262
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:46,635
the technical meter readings.

263
00:14:46,636 --> 00:14:48,553
It was a good idea
you had, Doctor,

264
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:50,138
of having them transmitted
automatically by radio.

265
00:14:50,139 --> 00:14:51,264
-And I think it'd be a good idea

266
00:14:51,265 --> 00:14:52,724
if you got a little rest, Jim.

267
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:54,059
You've been there
ever since takeoff.

268
00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:55,102
- Well, I kinda hate to leave.

269
00:14:55,103 --> 00:14:56,561
- Don't be heroic, Jim,

270
00:14:56,562 --> 00:14:58,063
two days without a
break is too long!

271
00:14:58,064 --> 00:14:59,940
- Dr. Lane and I will take over.

272
00:14:59,941 --> 00:15:02,192
- Well, keep your eye on
the gravitational indicator.

273
00:15:02,193 --> 00:15:03,610
If there's any
variation, call me.

274
00:15:03,611 --> 00:15:05,278
- Go on, Jim!

275
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:06,696
Remember, I helped to
design that indicator.

276
00:15:06,697 --> 00:15:08,323
I guess I must be tired.

277
00:15:08,324 --> 00:15:09,324
I'll see you later.

278
00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:24,507
- Mother Earth looks
mighty good from here.

279
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:37,060
Close enough to the Man in
the Moon to talk to him.

280
00:15:37,061 --> 00:15:39,438
- If you do talk to him,
be careful what you say,

281
00:15:39,439 --> 00:15:41,399
the Moon could be a
deadly menace to us!

282
00:16:06,090 --> 00:16:08,550
- Had a shift in direction,
a good five degrees.

283
00:16:08,551 --> 00:16:10,177
- The gravitational
pull of the Moon?

284
00:16:10,178 --> 00:16:12,429
- We'll have to use
power to pull out.

285
00:16:12,430 --> 00:16:14,473
Everybody take your stations!

286
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:15,474
- Where's Jackson?

287
00:16:17,268 --> 00:16:18,393
- Professor Jackson?

288
00:16:18,394 --> 00:16:19,519
Coming!

289
00:16:25,485 --> 00:16:28,070
-Alright Carol, the pressure?

290
00:16:34,410 --> 00:16:36,453
- Pressure okay.

291
00:16:36,454 --> 00:16:37,454
- All ready?

292
00:16:41,042 --> 00:16:42,209
All ready.

293
00:16:42,210 --> 00:16:43,251
- Here we go!

294
00:17:09,654 --> 00:17:11,197
Well, that did it.

295
00:17:13,282 --> 00:17:15,242
All right, Carol,
cut the pressure!

296
00:17:15,243 --> 00:17:16,536
-All you have to do is ask!

297
00:17:18,162 --> 00:17:19,842
- Well, at least we
won't land on the Moon.

298
00:17:28,714 --> 00:17:31,132
- Well, it's finally happened.

299
00:17:31,133 --> 00:17:33,385
We've lost contact
with the rocket ship.

300
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:35,220
You'd better inform the general.

301
00:17:46,315 --> 00:17:48,692
- Your family, Professor?

302
00:17:48,693 --> 00:17:49,819
- My two grandchildren.

303
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:53,238
- They're beautiful.

304
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:57,409
I often wish I'd married
and had a family,

305
00:17:57,410 --> 00:17:58,785
but astronomy and engineering

306
00:17:58,786 --> 00:18:00,912
have taken up almost
all of my life.

307
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:02,707
- My life's been
sheltered but full.

308
00:18:04,542 --> 00:18:06,462
The things I've learned
I've passed on to others.

309
00:18:07,712 --> 00:18:09,232
- You talk as if you
were already dead.

310
00:18:10,881 --> 00:18:12,215
- Do you really believe
we're going to come back?

311
00:18:12,216 --> 00:18:13,216
- Sure I do!

312
00:18:15,177 --> 00:18:17,346
- Personally, I feel
this rocket is my coffin.

313
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:21,766
- I never would've expected
that attitude from you.

314
00:18:21,767 --> 00:18:23,727
-As long as we remain alive,

315
00:18:23,728 --> 00:18:25,353
I'll contribute all that I know

316
00:18:25,354 --> 00:18:26,813
to the success of
the expedition.

317
00:18:26,814 --> 00:18:28,440
- In the meantime, Professor,

318
00:18:28,441 --> 00:18:30,609
you're contributing
an awful lotta gloom.

319
00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:32,694
- He's contributed
more than any of us!

320
00:18:35,406 --> 00:18:38,491
A real wife, a home, two
lovely grandchildren.

321
00:18:38,492 --> 00:18:40,411
I'd trade 10 trips
to Mars for that!

322
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:44,456
- Then you shouldn't
have come along, Carol.

323
00:18:44,457 --> 00:18:48,209
- Jim Barker,
engineering genius.

324
00:18:48,210 --> 00:18:49,628
-Jim? 'Skin it!

325
00:18:49,629 --> 00:18:50,920
It's just that being
confined like this

326
00:18:50,921 --> 00:18:52,213
has gotten on my nerves.

327
00:18:52,214 --> 00:18:53,214
- Mine too.

328
00:18:53,924 --> 00:18:55,342
You listening, Carol?

329
00:18:55,343 --> 00:18:56,760
- To what?

330
00:18:56,761 --> 00:18:59,929
- I think that you
are a prize package.

331
00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:01,431
Is this for Jim's benefit?

332
00:19:01,432 --> 00:19:02,932
And very feminine.

333
00:19:02,933 --> 00:19:04,267
- He likes you!

334
00:19:04,268 --> 00:19:05,728
- I sure do, Mr. Engineer,

335
00:19:07,605 --> 00:19:09,272
and I don't have to look
in a test tube to find out.

336
00:19:09,273 --> 00:19:10,649
Oh, let's cut
out this bickering.

337
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:11,734
- I am not bickering.

338
00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:14,736
- Nice try, but it
didn't get over.

339
00:19:14,737 --> 00:19:15,737
Thanks anyway.

340
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:22,869
Ah, the Earth seems so big
when you're on it,

341
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:25,206
and from out here so
small and nothing.

342
00:19:26,582 --> 00:19:28,583
It's like closing
your eyes in the dark.

343
00:19:28,584 --> 00:19:31,587
Suddenly there you are,
alone with your soul.

344
00:19:32,672 --> 00:19:34,464
- You're homesick, Steve.

345
00:19:34,465 --> 00:19:36,509
- No, Professor, I
haven't got a home.

346
00:19:37,927 --> 00:19:39,428
Sometimes I wonder who I am.

347
00:19:40,763 --> 00:19:41,764
Who any of us are.

348
00:19:43,349 --> 00:19:44,808
- There was once
a theory advanced

349
00:19:44,809 --> 00:19:47,477
that the universe is
a living giant being

350
00:19:47,478 --> 00:19:50,438
and that we as human
beings, made in its image,

351
00:19:50,439 --> 00:19:52,816
are miniature
universes in ourselves,

352
00:19:52,817 --> 00:19:55,026
containing millions
of corpuscles.

353
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,487
The components of each
corpuscle imagine themselves

354
00:19:57,488 --> 00:19:59,489
to be in a complete
world of their own,

355
00:19:59,490 --> 00:20:00,865
though they are
aware of the universe

356
00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:01,866
of other worlds around them.

357
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:03,910
- Oh, that's fantastic!

358
00:20:03,911 --> 00:20:05,453
- Is it?

359
00:20:05,454 --> 00:20:06,454
I wonder.

360
00:20:07,790 --> 00:20:09,667
We understand so
very little, really.

361
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,878
If space is limitless
and endless,

362
00:20:13,879 --> 00:20:16,881
then, don't you see, the
opposite must be true too.

363
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:19,509
Smallness never ends either,

364
00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:22,345
but continues being
tinier and tinier,

365
00:20:22,346 --> 00:20:24,013
just as the enormity
of the universe

366
00:20:24,014 --> 00:20:27,058
becomes more and more enormous.

367
00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:29,936
- Doctor, you're
giving me the creeps.

368
00:20:29,937 --> 00:20:32,355
- What happens to
us when we die?

369
00:20:32,356 --> 00:20:34,065
- The whole universe dies,

370
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:37,026
just as the universe in
which we ourselves live

371
00:20:37,027 --> 00:20:38,945
may someday be no more.

372
00:20:38,946 --> 00:20:42,532
But, there are endless
universes beyond our own.

373
00:20:42,533 --> 00:20:43,992
- I know the theory,

374
00:20:43,993 --> 00:20:46,954
but it makes this trip
seem small and futile.

375
00:20:48,831 --> 00:20:50,457
If we're simply going from

376
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:53,377
one corpuscle in some
giant being to another,

377
00:20:54,336 --> 00:20:55,336
what will we find?

378
00:20:56,881 --> 00:20:58,465
- Crossing over may
provide some of the answers

379
00:20:58,466 --> 00:20:59,883
to things man has wanted to know

380
00:20:59,884 --> 00:21:02,302
since the beginning of time.

381
00:21:02,303 --> 00:21:05,514
- If so, we'll be swallowed
in space and forgotten.

382
00:21:10,019 --> 00:21:11,853
Holy mackerel, what's this?

383
00:21:11,854 --> 00:21:12,854
Come here, quick!

384
00:21:12,855 --> 00:21:14,481
What is it?

385
00:21:14,482 --> 00:21:15,607
- I don't know,
it looks as though

386
00:21:15,608 --> 00:21:17,025
the Earth's being bombarded!

387
00:21:17,026 --> 00:21:19,736
- It isn't, though,
it's a storm of meteors.

388
00:21:19,737 --> 00:21:22,322
They're traveling
at tremendous speed.

389
00:21:22,323 --> 00:21:24,365
When they reach the
atmosphere around the Earth,

390
00:21:24,366 --> 00:21:26,910
the friction makes them
explode and disintegrate.

391
00:21:26,911 --> 00:21:29,871
We've all seen such
fragments on summer nights.

392
00:21:29,872 --> 00:21:31,874
Most people call
them shooting stars.

393
00:21:33,959 --> 00:21:35,627
- Tell me, Doctor,

394
00:21:35,628 --> 00:21:38,505
are we apt to run into
such a storm out here?

395
00:21:38,506 --> 00:21:39,547
It's possible.

396
00:22:02,112 --> 00:22:05,365
- No contact, sir,
not for 48 hours now.

397
00:22:05,366 --> 00:22:06,825
From this point on,
I'm afraid they'll have

398
00:22:06,826 --> 00:22:09,078
to depend on their
space cylinders.

399
00:22:22,550 --> 00:22:23,550
- Mars!

400
00:23:05,759 --> 00:23:08,678
Jim, what's the
time and position?

401
00:23:08,679 --> 00:23:10,179
- Have you finished
with those computations

402
00:23:10,180 --> 00:23:11,681
for jettisoning
the space cylinder?

403
00:23:11,682 --> 00:23:12,975
- Almost, just a second.

404
00:23:14,101 --> 00:23:16,020
- We are now at approximately

405
00:23:17,605 --> 00:23:20,774
two degrees, S-400x,
102 Solar Time.

406
00:23:22,192 --> 00:23:24,027
- Well, that's about
all there is to go.

407
00:23:24,028 --> 00:23:26,946
I hope the homing device works,
I'd hate to have this land

408
00:23:26,947 --> 00:23:28,823
in the middle of
the Sahara Desert.

409
00:23:28,824 --> 00:23:30,158
- Didn't Steve have
something to go?

410
00:23:30,159 --> 00:23:32,035
<i>'</i> Oh, yes!

411
00:23:32,036 --> 00:23:33,912
Would you mind seeing if
Steve's material is ready yet?

412
00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:35,789
- Of course, Professor.

413
00:23:41,921 --> 00:23:44,881
Everything's in the space
cylinder but your notes.

414
00:23:44,882 --> 00:23:46,758
- I wouldn't wanna hold
up the space cylinder,

415
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:50,678
but if the last paragraph isn't
up to my usual high standard

416
00:23:50,679 --> 00:23:52,039
it'll be your fault
for rushing me.

417
00:23:54,016 --> 00:23:56,059
- How do you find so
much to write about?

418
00:23:56,060 --> 00:23:57,060
- Isn't easy.

419
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,080
This trip's getting
a little monotonous.

420
00:24:01,774 --> 00:24:02,816
- Too monotonous?

421
00:24:05,611 --> 00:24:07,196
- Do you feel that
bitter about him?

422
00:24:09,156 --> 00:24:10,658
- I don't know what you mean.

423
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:21,752
-A little revenge, huh?

424
00:24:26,757 --> 00:24:28,968
That oughta make
him good and mad!

425
00:24:30,803 --> 00:24:32,137
- I don't intend to tell him.

426
00:24:33,889 --> 00:24:35,098
- How can you make a guy jealous

427
00:24:35,099 --> 00:24:36,557
if he doesn't know about it?

428
00:24:36,558 --> 00:24:37,976
- It's possible.

429
00:24:37,977 --> 00:24:39,143
- On?

430
00:24:39,144 --> 00:24:42,105
Glad to have been of service.

431
00:24:42,106 --> 00:24:43,982
- What's the matter with you?

432
00:24:43,983 --> 00:24:47,528
- For a lady scientist,
you aren't very objective.

433
00:24:48,696 --> 00:24:50,990
- No, I guess I haven't been.

434
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,953
- Next time you get
sore at him, call on me.

435
00:24:58,330 --> 00:24:59,330
Anytime.

436
00:25:08,298 --> 00:25:09,799
- You shouldn't wait
to the last minute

437
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:10,800
before getting your notes to me.

438
00:25:10,801 --> 00:25:12,635
- What's the big hurry?

439
00:25:12,636 --> 00:25:15,680
We've plenty of time and space!

440
00:25:15,681 --> 00:25:17,098
- I hope the homing apparatus

441
00:25:17,099 --> 00:25:18,600
on this cylinder
functions properly.

442
00:25:41,874 --> 00:25:43,666
What was that?

443
00:25:43,667 --> 00:25:44,667
- Did you have any trouble
getting that space cylinder off?

444
00:25:44,668 --> 00:25:47,045
- Why no, of course not!

445
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:51,925
Look at all those space rocks!

446
00:25:53,343 --> 00:25:54,886
- Good heavens, we're
heading right into them!

447
00:25:54,887 --> 00:25:56,763
- They will destroy us!

448
00:25:56,764 --> 00:25:58,181
We have to get out of here!

449
00:25:58,182 --> 00:25:59,307
- That means we'll
have to go off course.

450
00:25:59,308 --> 00:26:00,933
- We have no other choice.

451
00:26:00,934 --> 00:26:03,144
-All right, everybody
take your stations!

452
00:26:03,145 --> 00:26:04,228
Strap yourselves in!

453
00:26:06,065 --> 00:26:08,900
I have to give her full speed!

454
00:26:08,901 --> 00:26:11,194
Are you ready, Dr. Lane?

455
00:26:11,195 --> 00:26:12,403
- We're ready!

456
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:13,404
- Here goes!

457
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,087
Carol, the emergency lights!

458
00:26:29,088 --> 00:26:30,630
Right!

459
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,344
- I think we went through it.

460
00:26:36,345 --> 00:26:38,221
- Is everybody all right?

461
00:26:38,222 --> 00:26:40,974
- Yes, I am.
- Gonna have to look.

462
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:49,357
I think we're all clear now,

463
00:26:49,358 --> 00:26:51,400
but we're considerably
off course.

464
00:26:51,401 --> 00:26:53,236
Jim, you better check
the ship for damage

465
00:26:53,237 --> 00:26:55,071
and Carol and I will
plot the course.

466
00:26:55,072 --> 00:26:56,864
- Steve, you and the professor
check the tail section

467
00:26:56,865 --> 00:26:59,075
for any possible damage,
especially the wires and cables.

468
00:26:59,076 --> 00:27:01,953
I'll check forward and
see what I can find there.

469
00:27:56,175 --> 00:27:57,175
- Steve, come here.

470
00:28:00,387 --> 00:28:01,722
- Have you found a break?

471
00:28:03,140 --> 00:28:04,892
- Yes, and something
worse, take a look.

472
00:28:07,019 --> 00:28:08,228
Our landing gear.

473
00:28:09,354 --> 00:28:10,939
Got our radio batteries too.

474
00:28:12,774 --> 00:28:14,943
That's what cut the cable,
probably shorted it.

475
00:28:15,944 --> 00:28:16,944
- Can it be fixed?

476
00:28:18,197 --> 00:28:20,364
- I think Jim can fix
the cable all right,

477
00:28:20,365 --> 00:28:23,075
but not the batteries
and that shaft.

478
00:28:23,076 --> 00:28:24,286
Not a chance in the world.

479
00:28:26,288 --> 00:28:27,288
- How will we land?

480
00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:32,919
- Maybe we won't.

481
00:28:37,966 --> 00:28:41,219
- Well, folks, we
have a real problem.

482
00:28:41,220 --> 00:28:43,846
The landing gear we
depended on is now useless,

483
00:28:43,847 --> 00:28:45,349
we're going to
have to crash land.

484
00:28:46,934 --> 00:28:48,809
- Can't we use the
jets to ease us down?

485
00:28:48,810 --> 00:28:52,104
- We may have to, but it will
eat into our fuel supply.

486
00:28:52,105 --> 00:28:55,066
Better to use some of that to
find a favorable landing spot.

487
00:28:55,067 --> 00:28:57,109
- We have to make a choice.

488
00:28:57,110 --> 00:29:00,029
We can make it back to Earth
and attempt a landing there,

489
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,073
or we can try landing on Mars.

490
00:29:02,074 --> 00:29:03,158
The choice is up to you.

491
00:29:04,534 --> 00:29:07,245
- Well, I'm pretty fond
of the world myself,

492
00:29:07,246 --> 00:29:09,248
even if it's only
a little corpuscle.

493
00:29:10,916 --> 00:29:12,917
If we get back, maybe we
can make another trip?

494
00:29:12,918 --> 00:29:15,044
- Not much chance of that.

495
00:29:15,045 --> 00:29:17,964
If anything, it would
discourage future flights.

496
00:29:17,965 --> 00:29:19,882
-Assuming anyone
does survive on Mars,

497
00:29:19,883 --> 00:29:21,550
what will he be able to do?

498
00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:24,303
Will he be able to report
back what he finds?

499
00:29:24,304 --> 00:29:26,222
- There's a remote possibility.

500
00:29:26,223 --> 00:29:28,099
The atomic power head might
not have been damaged too much

501
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:30,226
to get off a space cylinder.

502
00:29:30,227 --> 00:29:33,062
It doesn't look
very promising either way.

503
00:29:33,063 --> 00:29:34,522
- But if there's any
chance of sending back

504
00:29:34,523 --> 00:29:37,275
any data or
information about Mars,

505
00:29:37,276 --> 00:29:38,902
I'm in favor of going on.

506
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,322
After all, that was the
object of our flight.

507
00:29:43,907 --> 00:29:46,284
Our survival is of
secondary importance.

508
00:29:46,285 --> 00:29:49,287
- We can be on Mars
within 24 hours.

509
00:29:49,288 --> 00:29:51,622
At least that's the
shorter trip.

510
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:54,209
- If that's an advantage
under the circumstances.

511
00:29:55,836 --> 00:29:57,003
We're almost at the
top of that mountain

512
00:29:57,004 --> 00:29:58,130
you wanted to climb.

513
00:29:59,965 --> 00:30:01,049
- What do you think, Carol?

514
00:30:02,426 --> 00:30:04,302
-Well, it doesn't
look like we're going

515
00:30:04,303 --> 00:30:05,929
to come out alive either way,

516
00:30:07,347 --> 00:30:09,265
but, after all, we did
set out to do something.

517
00:30:09,266 --> 00:30:11,100
- That says it for me.

518
00:30:11,101 --> 00:30:12,893
- I knew that it would.

519
00:30:17,399 --> 00:30:20,109
- Okay, I'll make it unanimous.

520
00:30:20,110 --> 00:30:21,485
- Good!

521
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:23,126
I'm glad we're all
together in spirit too.

522
00:30:24,197 --> 00:30:26,324
Jim, what's your plan?

523
00:30:26,325 --> 00:30:29,410
Well, I can't tell you,
not 'til I see the terrain.

524
00:30:29,411 --> 00:30:30,953
We'll have to use our
jets to look around,

525
00:30:30,954 --> 00:30:32,622
but it'll be rough at best.

526
00:30:33,957 --> 00:30:35,042
- Well, it's in your hands.

527
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,228
- All right, strap
yourselves in!

528
00:30:56,229 --> 00:30:57,313
What about you, Jim?

529
00:30:57,314 --> 00:30:58,314
- Forget about me!

530
00:31:05,989 --> 00:31:07,698
I see a place to land.

531
00:31:07,699 --> 00:31:10,160
If we make it, we may be
able to take off again.

532
00:31:20,045 --> 00:31:21,463
All right, hang on!

533
00:31:37,062 --> 00:31:38,563
He's coming around now.

534
00:31:43,402 --> 00:31:44,403
It's nothing serious.

535
00:31:47,322 --> 00:31:48,402
- Don't tell me we made it.

536
00:32:05,215 --> 00:32:06,382
The concussion of our crash

537
00:32:06,383 --> 00:32:08,300
must've caused the avalanche.

538
00:32:13,723 --> 00:32:15,934
The snow's
covered us completely!

539
00:32:18,311 --> 00:32:19,645
- Oh, no it hasn't!

540
00:32:19,646 --> 00:32:21,022
Look over here!

541
00:32:26,319 --> 00:32:28,279
They look like chimneys.

542
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,239
- They're regularly spaced.

543
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,116
They may be the work
of living creatures!

544
00:32:32,117 --> 00:32:34,410
Come on, let's go out
and have a look at them!

545
00:32:34,411 --> 00:32:36,328
Are you all right?

546
00:32:36,329 --> 00:32:39,081
- Yeah, sure, I just feel
a little short of breath.

547
00:32:39,082 --> 00:32:40,583
- Well, no wonder!

548
00:32:40,584 --> 00:32:41,984
We'd better put on
our oxygen masks.

549
00:33:15,410 --> 00:33:18,245
It's made of stone or brick,

550
00:33:18,246 --> 00:33:20,247
and very well made too.

551
00:33:20,248 --> 00:33:22,208
Obviously by
civilized creatures of some sort.

552
00:33:22,209 --> 00:33:26,128
Hm, but it's very old, very!

553
00:33:26,129 --> 00:33:27,755
Maybe the race is extinct now.

554
00:33:27,756 --> 00:33:30,633
That's being a
little pessimistic, Professor.

555
00:33:30,634 --> 00:33:32,593
No, no, Professor
Jackson may be right!

556
00:33:32,594 --> 00:33:36,556
We know that, ages ago, Mars
was a much warmer planet.

557
00:33:38,266 --> 00:33:41,310
In cooling off, it lost
much of its atmosphere.

558
00:33:41,311 --> 00:33:43,479
If people did live
here, it may well be

559
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,814
that the change killed them off.

560
00:33:45,815 --> 00:33:48,734
They don't seem to
serve any purpose, do they?

561
00:33:48,735 --> 00:33:50,361
They may have been erected

562
00:33:50,362 --> 00:33:52,321
as some sort of
religious symbols,

563
00:33:52,322 --> 00:33:55,282
like the great stones the
druids erected at Stonehenge

564
00:33:55,283 --> 00:33:57,701
or the pyramids in Egypt.

565
00:33:57,702 --> 00:33:59,328
Let's follow them along

566
00:33:59,329 --> 00:34:00,329
and see if there's
any change in them.

567
00:34:00,330 --> 00:34:02,206
Yeah.

568
00:34:11,841 --> 00:34:13,842
- We have been expecting you.

569
00:34:13,843 --> 00:34:15,427
Expecting us?

570
00:34:15,428 --> 00:34:16,428
You...

571
00:34:17,222 --> 00:34:18,681
You speak English?

572
00:34:18,682 --> 00:34:20,307
- For many years
we have picked up

573
00:34:20,308 --> 00:34:24,186
your radio broadcasts
and deciphered them.

574
00:34:24,187 --> 00:34:25,312
Many of us have even learned

575
00:34:25,313 --> 00:34:27,773
to speak some of your languages.

576
00:34:27,774 --> 00:34:30,693
- I am lkron, president
of our council,

577
00:34:30,694 --> 00:34:32,528
which rules this planet.

578
00:34:32,529 --> 00:34:34,573
We are happy to meet you,

579
00:34:36,366 --> 00:34:39,577
and honored by the
presence of your eminence.

580
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:42,162
You say you pick
up our broadcasts?

581
00:34:42,163 --> 00:34:43,872
- Yes, your first two cylinders

582
00:34:43,873 --> 00:34:46,250
arrived back on Earth safely.

583
00:34:46,251 --> 00:34:48,168
Since then they have
lost contact with you

584
00:34:48,169 --> 00:34:52,172
and there is a worldwide vigil
awaiting news of your party.

585
00:34:52,173 --> 00:34:54,216
Can we get through to them?

586
00:34:54,217 --> 00:34:55,884
- No.

587
00:34:55,885 --> 00:35:00,180
Although for years we have been
able to receive broadcasts,

588
00:35:00,181 --> 00:35:01,725
we are still unable
to send them.

589
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,353
Our best efforts have
been reported by Earthmen

590
00:35:06,354 --> 00:35:09,524
only as, "Faint signals
coming from Mars."

591
00:35:11,192 --> 00:35:12,776
You will come with us now.

592
00:35:30,795 --> 00:35:33,381
You may do the same, you
won't need them anymore.

593
00:35:43,266 --> 00:35:45,225
- Hey, this thing's moving!

594
00:35:45,226 --> 00:35:46,853
- Yes, our cities
are underground.

595
00:36:04,371 --> 00:36:06,748
- This is magnificent!

596
00:36:13,254 --> 00:36:14,713
- Where do you get
your air and light?

597
00:36:14,714 --> 00:36:16,340
- We make them.

598
00:36:16,341 --> 00:36:17,800
There is a mineral called corium

599
00:36:17,801 --> 00:36:19,678
from which we extract
hydrogen and oxygen.

600
00:36:21,304 --> 00:36:22,744
You'll find that we
live rather well.

601
00:36:24,307 --> 00:36:26,225
- That's a masterpiece
of understatement.

602
00:36:26,226 --> 00:36:27,893
- I think the council's waiting.

603
00:36:35,402 --> 00:36:38,237
You will find we
have much in common.

604
00:36:38,238 --> 00:36:39,863
As you have no doubt
already observed,

605
00:36:39,864 --> 00:36:43,742
we owe our continued
existence here to science.

606
00:36:43,743 --> 00:36:46,578
All of our facilities will
be placed at your disposal.

607
00:36:46,579 --> 00:36:47,996
- Thank you!

608
00:36:47,997 --> 00:36:49,623
You've made us
feel very welcome.

609
00:36:49,624 --> 00:36:50,999
And I don't think
that scientists

610
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,918
have ever had a richer
field to explore.

611
00:36:52,919 --> 00:36:56,255
-As you know, we have tried
interplanetary flights.

612
00:36:56,256 --> 00:36:57,589
Though, for all our science,

613
00:36:57,590 --> 00:36:59,968
we have had no
success such as this.

614
00:37:01,803 --> 00:37:04,471
I am very much interested
in what you have done.

615
00:37:04,472 --> 00:37:07,474
Tell me, this atomic power
which I have heard so much about

616
00:37:07,475 --> 00:37:08,934
in broadcasts from you world-

617
00:37:08,935 --> 00:37:11,270
- Uh, just a moment, lkron.

618
00:37:11,271 --> 00:37:14,481
We can exchange questions
and answers endlessly,

619
00:37:14,482 --> 00:37:16,024
there'll be time for that.

620
00:37:16,025 --> 00:37:18,527
Now I suggest that our
visitors be permitted

621
00:37:18,528 --> 00:37:20,738
to rest and refresh themselves.

622
00:37:20,739 --> 00:37:22,573
- This is Tillamar,
our senior advisor

623
00:37:22,574 --> 00:37:24,950
and former chief of our council.

624
00:37:24,951 --> 00:37:27,369
- Terris will show you
to your dwelling and,

625
00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:29,413
after you have had time
to adjust yourselves,

626
00:37:29,414 --> 00:37:30,873
we will talk further.

627
00:37:30,874 --> 00:37:31,874
- Thank you.

628
00:37:44,846 --> 00:37:46,805
- This is where you will live.

629
00:37:46,806 --> 00:37:49,683
Your sleeping rooms and other
quarters are on either side.

630
00:37:49,684 --> 00:37:51,310
- Thank you.

631
00:37:51,311 --> 00:37:52,561
- What I wanna see
is the kitchen!

632
00:37:52,562 --> 00:37:53,729
- The kitchen?

633
00:37:53,730 --> 00:37:55,022
-Yes, where food is prepared.

634
00:37:55,023 --> 00:37:56,648
- Oh, we don't have kitchens.

635
00:37:56,649 --> 00:37:58,108
We call it the food laboratory

636
00:37:58,109 --> 00:38:00,527
and we have a large
one for each district.

637
00:38:00,528 --> 00:38:03,447
You order your food and it is
delivered ready to be served.

638
00:38:03,448 --> 00:38:05,574
- This is a woman's paradise!

639
00:38:05,575 --> 00:38:07,659
-As a matter of fact, I
assumed you might be hungry

640
00:38:07,660 --> 00:38:09,661
and ordered some things for you.

641
00:38:09,662 --> 00:38:11,789
They should be here by now.

642
00:38:17,462 --> 00:38:19,547
Everything is here,
ready to be eaten.

643
00:38:21,424 --> 00:38:22,883
When you've finished, you
just put everything back,

644
00:38:22,884 --> 00:38:24,927
close it up, and
press this button.

645
00:38:24,928 --> 00:38:26,428
That's all there is to it.

646
00:38:26,429 --> 00:38:27,888
- No dish washing?

647
00:38:27,889 --> 00:38:30,599
- Well, that's taken
care of mechanically.

648
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:31,850
- Mars, I love you!

649
00:38:32,977 --> 00:38:34,645
- Oh yes, a tailor will be here

650
00:38:34,646 --> 00:38:36,063
to measure you
for your wardrobe.

651
00:38:36,064 --> 00:38:37,147
You'll be needing
clothes, of course.

652
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:38,774
-You mean, um-

653
00:38:38,775 --> 00:38:40,442
- You can have more
like those if you wish.

654
00:38:40,443 --> 00:38:41,819
- No, no, we
wouldn't think of it!

655
00:38:41,820 --> 00:38:43,737
When on Mars, do
as the Martians do.

656
00:38:43,738 --> 00:38:45,406
- We find these
very comfortable.

657
00:38:47,075 --> 00:38:48,951
Well, I'll leave you now, I
know you're tired and hungry.

658
00:38:48,952 --> 00:38:51,078
If you want me, you can
reach me over the speaker.

659
00:38:51,079 --> 00:38:52,704
- Thank you.

660
00:38:52,705 --> 00:38:54,081
- Well, if no one objects,

661
00:38:54,082 --> 00:38:55,415
I think I'll start
setting out the food.

662
00:38:55,416 --> 00:38:56,543
Yeah, I'll help you.

663
00:38:58,419 --> 00:39:00,462
- I can hardly wait to see
their chemical laboratories.

664
00:39:00,463 --> 00:39:02,089
- What a remarkable place.

665
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,757
The scientific
skills and techniques

666
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,968
of these people are
truly incredible.

667
00:39:05,969 --> 00:39:08,095
- A man could spend years
doing research here.

668
00:39:08,096 --> 00:39:09,429
Mm.

669
00:39:09,430 --> 00:39:10,764
-And you were all set to die!

670
00:39:10,765 --> 00:39:12,808
- You were talking
about Mars being the top

671
00:39:12,809 --> 00:39:15,561
of some big mountain
we just climbed.

672
00:39:15,562 --> 00:39:18,063
Well, how do you propose
we get back down?

673
00:39:18,064 --> 00:39:20,566
And you're talking about
doing years of research?

674
00:39:20,567 --> 00:39:21,775
What good will it
do if we can't get

675
00:39:21,776 --> 00:39:23,694
the information back to Earth?

676
00:39:23,695 --> 00:39:25,904
Or are we planning to spend
the rest of our lives here?

677
00:39:25,905 --> 00:39:27,114
- I can think of worst places

678
00:39:27,115 --> 00:39:28,490
to spend the rest of our lives.

679
00:39:28,491 --> 00:39:29,950
- No, no, Jim is right.

680
00:39:29,951 --> 00:39:31,577
Our whole project is a failure

681
00:39:31,578 --> 00:39:33,495
unless we can get our
findings back to Earth.

682
00:39:33,496 --> 00:39:34,496
- But how?

683
00:39:34,497 --> 00:39:35,956
Our rocket is wrecked!

684
00:39:35,957 --> 00:39:37,666
Can we build another?

685
00:39:37,667 --> 00:39:38,793
- I don't know that yet.

686
00:39:40,712 --> 00:39:42,129
We might be able to salvage
some of the essential parts

687
00:39:42,130 --> 00:39:45,507
and maybe build others,
but it's a big job,

688
00:39:45,508 --> 00:39:47,634
and we'll need the help
of the government here.

689
00:39:47,635 --> 00:39:49,511
Without it, we don't
stand a chance.

690
00:39:49,512 --> 00:39:52,139
Even with it, it's
no sure thing.

691
00:39:52,140 --> 00:39:54,683
- I don't know why
they wouldn't help us.

692
00:39:54,684 --> 00:39:56,852
Ikron said they were interested
in interplanetary flight.

693
00:39:56,853 --> 00:39:58,645
- Well, there's only
one way to find out.

694
00:39:58,646 --> 00:40:00,522
As soon as we get
settled, Jim and I will go

695
00:40:00,523 --> 00:40:02,650
before the council and
ask for their assistance.

696
00:40:07,196 --> 00:40:09,072
If our rocket ship is
to be reconstructed,

697
00:40:09,073 --> 00:40:11,074
we'll need all the
help you can give us.

698
00:40:11,075 --> 00:40:12,618
That's why we are here,

699
00:40:12,619 --> 00:40:14,703
to ask for your
approval and assistance.

700
00:40:14,704 --> 00:40:17,748
- Do you really think the
rocket can be repaired?

701
00:40:17,749 --> 00:40:20,125
- That depends on how much
of it can be salvaged.

702
00:40:20,126 --> 00:40:23,045
It shouldn't be too much trouble
to construct a new shell,

703
00:40:23,046 --> 00:40:24,922
but the big problem will be

704
00:40:24,923 --> 00:40:26,882
if the atomic power heads
have been destroyed.

705
00:40:26,883 --> 00:40:30,552
- Well, in that case, you could
not undertake such a flight!

706
00:40:30,553 --> 00:40:33,055
- Well, we'd have to
work on some substitute,

707
00:40:33,056 --> 00:40:34,682
possibly from your corium.

708
00:40:39,479 --> 00:40:41,688
- We will send a party
to salvage your ship,

709
00:40:41,689 --> 00:40:43,190
whenever you are ready.

710
00:40:43,191 --> 00:40:45,692
We want to help,
however this is a matter

711
00:40:45,693 --> 00:40:47,737
that must be discussed
by our council.

712
00:40:49,155 --> 00:40:51,698
We will let you know
our decision shortly.

713
00:40:51,699 --> 00:40:52,908
- Thank you.

714
00:40:52,909 --> 00:40:53,909
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

715
00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:05,671
- I was anxious that it was
not made to sound too easy,

716
00:41:05,672 --> 00:41:07,507
however the approval
will be granted.

717
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,468
Do you still object to my plan?

718
00:41:12,762 --> 00:41:14,179
- To destroy these people

719
00:41:14,180 --> 00:41:16,682
and all the people on
their world as well?

720
00:41:16,683 --> 00:41:17,683
Yes I do.

721
00:41:19,102 --> 00:41:21,853
- We will build others
from the same design.

722
00:41:21,854 --> 00:41:24,773
A fleet of them,
a hundred fleets.

723
00:41:24,774 --> 00:41:26,942
- And when we finish with
the ruins of their world,

724
00:41:26,943 --> 00:41:28,860
what then, a plan to
conquer the universe?

725
00:41:28,861 --> 00:41:29,861
More rocket ships?

726
00:41:29,862 --> 00:41:32,114
Where is the end of it?

727
00:41:32,115 --> 00:41:33,824
- I seek only the sanctuary

728
00:41:33,825 --> 00:41:35,534
of a place to live
for our people.

729
00:41:35,535 --> 00:41:36,994
Our planet is dying!

730
00:41:36,995 --> 00:41:38,579
The corium will be gone!

731
00:41:39,956 --> 00:41:41,915
What plan do you suggest
to save ourselves?

732
00:41:41,916 --> 00:41:43,083
- That we make a pact with them,

733
00:41:43,084 --> 00:41:44,626
for certain areas of the Earth!

734
00:41:44,627 --> 00:41:45,961
- The people who have come here

735
00:41:45,962 --> 00:41:48,714
have no power or
authority to make pacts!

736
00:41:48,715 --> 00:41:52,175
Once we let them escape,
once their ship is gone,

737
00:41:52,176 --> 00:41:54,845
it may well be our last
chance for survival.

738
00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:56,847
- Surely they'll
make other trips.

739
00:41:56,848 --> 00:41:59,808
- What if they return in power
and force and conquer us?

740
00:41:59,809 --> 00:42:01,601
They will kill us!

741
00:42:01,602 --> 00:42:03,562
I ask for a vote of the council.

742
00:42:03,563 --> 00:42:05,105
My plan or Tillamar's?

743
00:42:05,106 --> 00:42:06,231
- Ikron's.
- Tillamar's!

744
00:42:06,232 --> 00:42:07,108
- Ikron's!
- Tillamar's!

745
00:42:07,109 --> 00:42:08,984
- Ikron's.

746
00:42:08,985 --> 00:42:11,653
- Ikron's plan is carried
by a vote of four to three.

747
00:42:11,654 --> 00:42:13,989
-I need hardly caution
the senior counselor

748
00:42:13,990 --> 00:42:16,199
of the secrecy of this decision.

749
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,119
The space travelers
will not be warned.

750
00:42:20,038 --> 00:42:21,955
We will let them proceed with
the rebuilding of their ship

751
00:42:21,956 --> 00:42:25,125
in the naive belief that we
will let them return to Earth.

752
00:42:25,126 --> 00:42:26,544
Once the rocket is ready,

753
00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:28,963
they will become our prisoners.

754
00:42:30,131 --> 00:42:32,716
Fellow counselors, soon now,

755
00:42:32,717 --> 00:42:33,717
soon,

756
00:42:34,969 --> 00:42:37,180
the evacuation from a
dead planet will begin.

757
00:42:38,681 --> 00:42:39,807
First the armies,

758
00:42:41,059 --> 00:42:42,643
then the civilians.

759
00:43:01,412 --> 00:43:03,080
- This factory you've
given us to work in

760
00:43:03,081 --> 00:43:04,956
is certainly ideal
for our purpose.

761
00:43:04,957 --> 00:43:07,209
- Some of those amazing new
light metals you've shown me

762
00:43:07,210 --> 00:43:09,127
should be able to take
the pressure perfectly.

763
00:43:09,128 --> 00:43:11,755
- I have developed several
that I think will be suitable.

764
00:43:11,756 --> 00:43:13,673
And this assistant
that I'm sending to you

765
00:43:13,674 --> 00:43:16,635
will see that you have the
very best workmen available.

766
00:43:16,636 --> 00:43:19,012
You've undertaken
quite a job, my friend.

767
00:43:19,013 --> 00:43:20,889
- Well, most of the
instruments are still intact.

768
00:43:20,890 --> 00:43:22,766
- Oh I don't think it should
be too difficult for Jim,

769
00:43:22,767 --> 00:43:25,894
Justin, not with your knowledge
and advice available to him.

770
00:43:25,895 --> 00:43:27,813
- You're right, Dr. Lane,

771
00:43:27,814 --> 00:43:29,397
Justin is our most eminent
physicist and engineer,

772
00:43:29,398 --> 00:43:31,233
you couldn't be in better hands!

773
00:43:31,234 --> 00:43:32,859
- I've already learned that.

774
00:43:32,860 --> 00:43:34,694
-And I have arranged
for our astronomers

775
00:43:34,695 --> 00:43:36,404
to put aside their present
projects to help you

776
00:43:36,405 --> 00:43:39,366
make any observations necessary
to plot your return trip.

777
00:43:39,367 --> 00:43:40,867
- How long do you think
its going to take?

778
00:43:40,868 --> 00:43:42,744
- Well, the sooner, the better.

779
00:43:42,745 --> 00:43:44,287
As you know, when we took
off the Earth and Mars

780
00:43:44,288 --> 00:43:46,123
were at their closest.

781
00:43:46,124 --> 00:43:48,125
The distance between them
grows greater every day,

782
00:43:48,126 --> 00:43:50,168
as does the amount
of fuel we'll need.

783
00:43:50,169 --> 00:43:52,420
- That, Doctor, is
our big problem.

784
00:43:52,421 --> 00:43:54,089
As you know, the
atomic power heads

785
00:43:54,090 --> 00:43:55,882
were destroyed in the crash,

786
00:43:55,883 --> 00:43:57,759
but from what Justin tells me,

787
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,719
I think we should be able
to substitute corium.

788
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:01,096
<i>' I h°Pe so!</i>

789
00:44:01,097 --> 00:44:02,931
Interplanetary flight
has always been

790
00:44:02,932 --> 00:44:04,850
a very great interest of mine.

791
00:44:04,851 --> 00:44:07,019
Feel free to call on us
if you need any help.

792
00:44:08,437 --> 00:44:10,939
- That, from lkron, is
a very generous offer.

793
00:44:10,940 --> 00:44:12,984
Corium is our most
precious substance.

794
00:44:26,497 --> 00:44:27,456
-Are you Jim?

795
00:44:27,457 --> 00:44:29,291
- Mm-hm, that's right.

796
00:44:29,292 --> 00:44:31,126
- Your new assistant
has arrived.

797
00:44:31,127 --> 00:44:33,170
- Oh, thanks, show him in.

798
00:44:33,171 --> 00:44:36,256
- There's no one to show
in, I'm your new assistant.

799
00:44:36,257 --> 00:44:37,300
My name's Alita.

800
00:44:42,221 --> 00:44:44,347
What's the matter,
is something wrong?

801
00:44:44,348 --> 00:44:46,934
-Well, no, uh, no,
it's just that I, uh...

802
00:44:47,977 --> 00:44:49,019
Um...

803
00:44:49,020 --> 00:44:50,396
I, oh, sit down.

804
00:44:52,315 --> 00:44:53,315
I, um...

805
00:44:54,483 --> 00:44:55,860
I'm sort of puzzled
on these, uh,

806
00:44:56,986 --> 00:44:58,070
uh, these new metals!

807
00:44:59,488 --> 00:45:00,864
- Well, this is
the one you want.

808
00:45:00,865 --> 00:45:02,324
Both can take the pressure,

809
00:45:02,325 --> 00:45:03,867
but this has a better
coefficient of expansion

810
00:45:03,868 --> 00:45:05,119
for temperature variations.

811
00:45:06,412 --> 00:45:07,412
-You'll do!

812
00:45:08,873 --> 00:45:11,458
I should've know Justin
knew what he was doing.

813
00:45:11,459 --> 00:45:12,459
- Do you like him?

814
00:45:13,961 --> 00:45:15,462
- Oh, I think he's
a wonderful man.

815
00:45:15,463 --> 00:45:17,214
- Then I think you'll do too.

816
00:45:17,215 --> 00:45:18,715
He's my father.

817
00:45:18,716 --> 00:45:20,092
- Oh, he's your...

818
00:45:21,469 --> 00:45:23,189
Oh, well, then, uh,
let's get to work, um...

819
00:45:28,935 --> 00:45:30,394
- Say, this food
is really great!

820
00:45:31,395 --> 00:45:33,104
- There's a reason.

821
00:45:33,105 --> 00:45:35,273
In those hydroponic
chemicals they used,

822
00:45:35,274 --> 00:45:37,525
they put every
vitamin we know of,

823
00:45:37,526 --> 00:45:40,362
plus several other
tissue-building elements.

824
00:45:40,363 --> 00:45:43,156
No wonder there's so
few sick people here.

825
00:45:43,157 --> 00:45:45,242
- These are really delicious!

826
00:45:45,243 --> 00:45:46,244
-An amazing people.

827
00:45:47,870 --> 00:45:49,496
Great demonstration of
what science can do.

828
00:45:49,497 --> 00:45:51,915
Who would think that,
forced to live underground,

829
00:45:51,916 --> 00:45:53,792
they've mastered the
highly complex problem

830
00:45:53,793 --> 00:45:55,418
of raising food to survive on.

831
00:45:55,419 --> 00:45:57,837
- In a way, they're better off.

832
00:45:57,838 --> 00:45:59,339
Instead of fields in the open,

833
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,341
subject to the
uncertainties of weather,

834
00:46:01,342 --> 00:46:04,135
they have great
tanks, miles of them.

835
00:46:04,136 --> 00:46:05,845
With their controlled
temperatures,

836
00:46:05,846 --> 00:46:07,807
they raise practically
everything they wish.

837
00:46:09,225 --> 00:46:11,434
They've made this into a
kind of Garden of Eden.

838
00:46:11,435 --> 00:46:13,979
If you'll excuse me.

839
00:46:13,980 --> 00:46:15,897
- You're not going
back to the lab again?

840
00:46:15,898 --> 00:46:17,816
-I have to, I have a few
problems I have to solve.

841
00:46:17,817 --> 00:46:19,859
-Well, can I help you,
can I come with you?

842
00:46:19,860 --> 00:46:21,862
- Thanks, Carol, but
no, I'll be alright.

843
00:46:27,451 --> 00:46:31,913
- If you want some more
revenge, just whistle.

844
00:46:31,914 --> 00:46:33,873
Poor Steve.

845
00:46:33,874 --> 00:46:36,793
- So busy carrying a typewriter
around the world with him

846
00:46:36,794 --> 00:46:39,421
that he never had
time to fall in love,

847
00:46:39,422 --> 00:46:41,965
then he met a lady scientist.

848
00:46:41,966 --> 00:46:42,966
-You're not in love with me.

849
00:46:42,967 --> 00:46:44,134
"No?"

850
00:46:44,135 --> 00:46:45,593
No, I'm just making it up.

851
00:46:45,594 --> 00:46:47,846
Don't ever believe
anything a writer says,

852
00:46:47,847 --> 00:46:49,265
especially a newspaper writer.

853
00:46:50,891 --> 00:46:52,251
Besides, we have
nothing in common!

854
00:46:53,436 --> 00:46:55,145
I'll bet you've never
been to a football game

855
00:46:55,146 --> 00:46:57,398
or seen the Dodgers in
action at Ebbets Field.

856
00:46:58,941 --> 00:47:00,400
Well, it makes sense.

857
00:47:00,401 --> 00:47:02,569
Female scientist goes
for male scientist.

858
00:47:02,570 --> 00:47:04,112
Two of a kind!

859
00:47:04,113 --> 00:47:05,447
Me?

860
00:47:05,448 --> 00:47:06,448
I'm just a guy.

861
00:47:08,159 --> 00:47:11,369
-You know, I think we
both need a couple drinks.

862
00:47:14,081 --> 00:47:15,875
- I've just made a
big play for you.

863
00:47:17,418 --> 00:47:18,294
- I know.

864
00:47:18,295 --> 00:47:19,919
- No soap, huh?

865
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:20,963
- No soap, Steve.

866
00:47:22,631 --> 00:47:25,300
But you're wrong, I have been
to lots of football games.

867
00:47:25,301 --> 00:47:27,218
I'm really not such
a test tube specimen

868
00:47:27,219 --> 00:47:29,137
as you seem to think!

869
00:47:29,138 --> 00:47:32,266
And if I'm an idiot about Jim,
it's something I can't help.

870
00:47:33,351 --> 00:47:34,976
- Maybe you should try harder.

871
00:47:54,163 --> 00:47:55,581
- Oh, good evening.

872
00:47:57,124 --> 00:47:59,167
What are you
doing here at this hour?

873
00:47:59,168 --> 00:48:01,002
- I lost a magnetic gauge.

874
00:48:01,003 --> 00:48:04,005
I thought I might've
dropped it in here today.

875
00:48:04,006 --> 00:48:05,673
- You won't need
it until tomorrow.

876
00:48:05,674 --> 00:48:08,134
If I find it, I'll have
it put aside for you.

877
00:48:08,135 --> 00:48:09,427
- Thank you.

878
00:48:09,428 --> 00:48:10,929
Good night.

879
00:48:10,930 --> 00:48:11,930
- Good night.

880
00:48:37,540 --> 00:48:39,040
- I have to know when
they're going to be able

881
00:48:39,041 --> 00:48:40,166
to fly it back to Earth.

882
00:48:40,167 --> 00:48:42,043
- It's too early to tell yet.

883
00:48:42,044 --> 00:48:44,672
I would've learned more if the
girl hadn't interrupted me.

884
00:48:45,965 --> 00:48:47,090
- Well, she doesn't suspect you?

885
00:48:47,091 --> 00:48:48,967
- Oh, no, I'm sure of that.

886
00:48:48,968 --> 00:48:50,718
- Good.

887
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,596
I must be sure that they're
concealing nothing from me.

888
00:48:53,597 --> 00:48:54,597
-Yes, sir.

889
00:49:04,483 --> 00:49:07,360
- Well, I didn't expect to
find you working tonight.

890
00:49:07,361 --> 00:49:09,320
- I was talking to Father
about this at dinner.

891
00:49:09,321 --> 00:49:11,489
He gave me an idea, I
couldn't wait to try it out.

892
00:49:11,490 --> 00:49:13,158
.Yes?

893
00:49:13,159 --> 00:49:15,118
- Well, he thinks if we
increase the temperature

894
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:17,120
more rapidly the molecules
will release more energy.

895
00:49:17,121 --> 00:49:19,080
It's what you call a
higher sparking power

896
00:49:19,081 --> 00:49:20,582
for the trigger mechanism.

897
00:49:20,583 --> 00:49:22,208
- Oh, I hope he's right.

898
00:49:22,209 --> 00:49:23,689
If he is, it'll save
us a lot of time.

899
00:49:34,638 --> 00:49:35,763
Is it ready?

900
00:49:35,764 --> 00:49:37,390
- Almost!

901
00:49:37,391 --> 00:49:38,671
You can connect
those cables now.

902
00:49:44,565 --> 00:49:46,441
- I know it'll work this time.

903
00:49:55,159 --> 00:49:56,159
- That's fine.

904
00:49:58,204 --> 00:49:59,829
Well, this will tell the story.

905
00:50:04,210 --> 00:50:06,544
Now it's got to
spark to at least 200

906
00:50:06,545 --> 00:50:08,422
or we'll never get
off the ground.

907
00:50:10,382 --> 00:50:12,133
All right, switch on.

908
00:50:43,123 --> 00:50:44,499
- Look at that!

909
00:50:44,500 --> 00:50:46,168
I knew it would work!

910
00:50:47,586 --> 00:50:49,420
- I've got to tell
Dr. Lane right away!

911
00:50:49,421 --> 00:50:51,173
- You go ahead,
I'll close up here.

912
00:51:38,178 --> 00:51:39,388
- This is a very good one.

913
00:51:41,307 --> 00:51:43,182
- That's the Earth, but it's
partially obscured by mists.

914
00:51:43,183 --> 00:51:46,185
- Yes, and it's getting
further away every day!

915
00:51:46,186 --> 00:51:48,146
- We tested the new firing
mechanism and it works!

916
00:51:48,147 --> 00:51:49,147
- Did it register 200?

917
00:51:49,148 --> 00:51:50,773
- It went to almost 300!

918
00:51:50,774 --> 00:51:52,817
You mean we'll
actually be able to get back?

919
00:51:52,818 --> 00:51:54,402
- Easily!

920
00:51:54,403 --> 00:51:55,862
But it'll take
about a week or so

921
00:51:55,863 --> 00:51:57,739
to get it built to scale
and get it installed,

922
00:51:57,740 --> 00:51:59,741
but you and Carol can start
figuring out the fuel load now,

923
00:51:59,742 --> 00:52:01,242
- As of what date?

924
00:52:01,243 --> 00:52:02,493
You know the
distance is widening.

925
00:52:02,494 --> 00:52:03,911
- Figure it a month from now.

926
00:52:03,912 --> 00:52:05,580
- Fine, that'll
give everyone time

927
00:52:05,581 --> 00:52:07,373
to gather up whatever
we wanna take back.

928
00:52:07,374 --> 00:52:08,374
Come, Carol.

929
00:52:14,131 --> 00:52:16,215
- Yes, there's no
question about it,

930
00:52:16,216 --> 00:52:18,635
they will be able to take
off for their own planet.

931
00:52:18,636 --> 00:52:19,636
- Let them think so.

932
00:52:21,180 --> 00:52:23,431
Do you know how long
before they'll be ready?

933
00:52:23,432 --> 00:52:26,601
No, but I'll find out in time.

934
00:52:26,602 --> 00:52:28,478
Good.

935
00:52:28,479 --> 00:52:31,523
I want them to complete their
work, then we'll step in.

936
00:52:36,779 --> 00:52:39,864
- But there can be no doubt
about it, I heard it myself!

937
00:52:39,865 --> 00:52:41,783
- Why does he act this way?

938
00:52:41,784 --> 00:52:44,494
I took it for granted that we'd
show him everything we know.

939
00:52:44,495 --> 00:52:45,953
- From what our Alita reports,

940
00:52:45,954 --> 00:52:47,747
he plans to let you
complete your work

941
00:52:47,748 --> 00:52:49,916
and then at the last minute
take it away from you!

942
00:52:49,917 --> 00:52:52,627
My advice to you is to
leave before he realizes

943
00:52:52,628 --> 00:52:54,462
that you're ready to take off.

944
00:52:54,463 --> 00:52:55,922
- But we can't.

945
00:52:55,923 --> 00:52:57,548
We let it be known
only this morning

946
00:52:57,549 --> 00:52:59,176
that we plan to
take off in a month.

947
00:53:00,844 --> 00:53:02,720
- But you could be ready
in two weeks, couldn't you?

948
00:53:02,721 --> 00:53:05,264
- Oh, it's useless, he
has spies everywhere

949
00:53:05,265 --> 00:53:06,934
that know every step
of our progress!

950
00:53:08,894 --> 00:53:11,522
- Jim, I think I know
something we can do.

951
00:53:50,269 --> 00:53:52,520
Try to get that section
finished as soon as you can.

952
00:53:52,521 --> 00:53:53,521
- It's almost ready.

953
00:54:00,863 --> 00:54:02,739
- Don't go in there,
it might explode!

954
00:54:08,829 --> 00:54:10,496
- What is it, what happened?

955
00:54:10,497 --> 00:54:11,914
- I don't know, I was
working, and suddenly

956
00:54:11,915 --> 00:54:13,416
there was a great flash
and explosion behind me.

957
00:54:13,417 --> 00:54:16,335
-Alzar, come here, I need help!

958
00:54:37,524 --> 00:54:38,524
- I'm all right now.

959
00:54:38,525 --> 00:54:40,026
- Is there much damage?

960
00:54:40,027 --> 00:54:41,944
Just the trigger mechanism,

961
00:54:41,945 --> 00:54:44,405
but it'll take at least
another month to replace it.

962
00:54:44,406 --> 00:54:45,698
- That long?

963
00:54:45,699 --> 00:54:47,033
Maybe longer.

964
00:54:47,034 --> 00:54:48,034
- Oh, no!

965
00:54:49,411 --> 00:54:51,329
- Everybody can go home now,

966
00:54:51,330 --> 00:54:53,456
there's nothing more
you can do today.

967
00:55:03,550 --> 00:55:04,676
- Beautiful performance.

968
00:55:09,765 --> 00:55:10,765
- Dr. Lane!

969
00:55:12,601 --> 00:55:13,601
Dr. Lane!

970
00:55:13,602 --> 00:55:14,602
Yes?

971
00:55:15,604 --> 00:55:16,979
- Oh-
- What's the matter?

972
00:55:16,980 --> 00:55:18,439
- We're in trouble,
it's serious.

973
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:19,107
- Jim, are you hurt?

974
00:55:19,108 --> 00:55:20,441
- No, no.

975
00:55:20,442 --> 00:55:21,776
- Well, is the rocket damaged?

976
00:55:21,777 --> 00:55:22,944
- No, but I want
everyone to think it is.

977
00:55:22,945 --> 00:55:24,821
I faked an explosion.

978
00:55:24,822 --> 00:55:26,781
I've learned there's a plot
to keep us from leaving.

979
00:55:26,782 --> 00:55:28,574
Ikron's government
plans to take the rocket

980
00:55:28,575 --> 00:55:30,493
away from us as soon
as it's finished.

981
00:55:30,494 --> 00:55:31,411
-Are you sure of this?

982
00:55:31,411 --> 00:55:32,411
- Positive!

983
00:55:33,413 --> 00:55:34,497
- Well, what can we do?

984
00:55:34,498 --> 00:55:36,374
- We can leave in two weeks.

985
00:55:36,375 --> 00:55:37,500
They think it's gonna take
at least another month

986
00:55:37,501 --> 00:55:39,418
for us to repair the damage.

987
00:55:39,419 --> 00:55:40,837
- Well, can we get away
without their knowing it?

988
00:55:40,838 --> 00:55:43,506
- It's our only chance,
we've got to try!

989
00:55:43,507 --> 00:55:44,632
- Well, we better tell
the others right away!

990
00:55:44,633 --> 00:55:46,926
- No, no, not yet.

991
00:55:46,927 --> 00:55:48,845
It's too dangerous a secret.

992
00:55:48,846 --> 00:55:50,931
Just get them to
speed up their work.

993
00:55:53,976 --> 00:55:56,143
- Jim, you're tired, you...

994
00:55:56,144 --> 00:55:57,979
you ought to try and get
a little rest and relax.

995
00:55:57,980 --> 00:56:00,023
Yes, I intend to, tonight.

996
00:56:01,650 --> 00:56:03,067
I think maybe we'll
play a little bridge.

997
00:56:03,068 --> 00:56:04,068
- Bridge?

998
00:56:05,487 --> 00:56:06,946
If you introduce that
game on this planet,

999
00:56:06,947 --> 00:56:08,781
the people will
never forgive you!

1000
00:56:10,868 --> 00:56:11,868
- Four hearts.

1001
00:56:12,703 --> 00:56:13,703
Pass.

1002
00:56:14,454 --> 00:56:15,454
- Buy?

1003
00:56:15,998 --> 00:56:16,998
. BUY

1004
00:56:18,458 --> 00:56:19,818
- Well, I've got
good help for you.

1005
00:56:24,798 --> 00:56:25,965
- That's wonderful support.

1006
00:56:25,966 --> 00:56:26,967
I'll make it easily.

1007
00:56:28,969 --> 00:56:31,470
- Where did you ever
learn to play bridge?

1008
00:56:31,471 --> 00:56:32,471
- Jim taught me.

1009
00:56:33,181 --> 00:56:35,474
- I'm surprised at you, Carol.

1010
00:56:35,475 --> 00:56:38,687
Haven't you noticed that Jim
and Alita are, uh, that way?

1011
00:56:44,026 --> 00:56:46,777
You're supposed to
say it isn't true.

1012
00:56:46,778 --> 00:56:47,988
- Of course it isn't true!

1013
00:56:54,870 --> 00:56:56,537
Sit down,
Jim, I'll go after her.

1014
00:56:56,538 --> 00:56:57,788
- Why did you say
a thing like that?

1015
00:56:57,789 --> 00:56:59,165
- Wake up, genius!

1016
00:56:59,166 --> 00:57:01,000
I was once a lonely
hearts editor.

1017
00:57:04,504 --> 00:57:05,589
- Sorry that happened.

1018
00:57:06,673 --> 00:57:07,673
- I understand.

1019
00:57:08,717 --> 00:57:10,676
- No, I don't think you do.

1020
00:57:10,677 --> 00:57:11,677
- Oh, yes, I do.

1021
00:57:12,638 --> 00:57:13,804
You even taught me that.

1022
00:57:13,805 --> 00:57:15,057
Your works means everything.

1023
00:57:17,017 --> 00:57:18,143
- Then I must be crazy.

1024
00:57:25,651 --> 00:57:28,527
- How many years you
been in love with him?

1025
00:57:28,528 --> 00:57:30,112
Three.

1026
00:57:32,908 --> 00:57:34,617
- How many tears do
you think it'll take

1027
00:57:34,618 --> 00:57:36,119
to wash out three years?

1028
00:57:37,245 --> 00:57:39,205
Go away, Steve!

1029
00:57:39,206 --> 00:57:40,206
- I can't.

1030
00:57:41,625 --> 00:57:42,985
I'm about to win
a game for myself.

1031
00:57:45,879 --> 00:57:47,130
You ever play solitaire?

1032
00:57:49,216 --> 00:57:51,467
I've been playing
it for a long time.

1033
00:57:52,970 --> 00:57:53,970
- Please go!

1034
00:57:55,764 --> 00:58:00,101
- But it gets tiresome,
just like some girls I know.

1035
00:58:04,064 --> 00:58:05,856
- What do you mean?

1036
00:58:05,857 --> 00:58:09,944
- You've been crying for
exactly one hour and 17 minutes.

1037
00:58:09,945 --> 00:58:12,655
- Well, nobody asked
you to sit in on it.

1038
00:58:13,782 --> 00:58:15,033
- No, it's the idiot in me.

1039
00:58:16,952 --> 00:58:18,744
- Steve!

1040
00:58:18,745 --> 00:58:20,038
- That gets tiresome too.

1041
00:58:29,047 --> 00:58:31,173
- All right, that'll be
all for today fellas.

1042
00:58:31,174 --> 00:58:32,758
All right.

1043
00:58:32,759 --> 00:58:34,479
- I'd like to make that
installation myself.

1044
00:58:35,887 --> 00:58:39,557
Oh, and by the way, you
can have tomorrow off,

1045
00:58:39,558 --> 00:58:40,975
there won't be anything for
you to do until the day after.

1046
00:58:40,976 --> 00:58:42,769
- Well, thanks!

1047
00:58:50,736 --> 00:58:51,861
- They don't know
it, but they've done

1048
00:58:51,862 --> 00:58:53,030
their last work on this baby.

1049
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:56,949
- What about that?

1050
00:58:56,950 --> 00:58:58,576
- The emergency lights?

1051
00:58:58,577 --> 00:59:00,377
Two minutes work, I can
do that after takeoff.

1052
00:59:01,329 --> 00:59:02,997
You know, I can't believe it.

1053
00:59:02,998 --> 00:59:04,875
It's finished, ready to go.

1054
00:59:06,126 --> 00:59:08,002
It's great, isn't it?

1055
00:59:08,003 --> 00:59:09,588
- Yes, yes it is.

1056
00:59:10,964 --> 00:59:13,132
- What's the matter, Alita?

1057
00:59:13,133 --> 00:59:14,509
- Oh, you'll be going!

1058
00:59:15,886 --> 00:59:17,136
Of course, I'm
happy for your sake,

1059
00:59:17,137 --> 00:59:19,180
you'll be able to get back now.

1060
00:59:19,181 --> 00:59:21,307
- That's right, I'll
be leaving, won't I?

1061
00:59:21,308 --> 00:59:24,018
-Well, it isn't as though
you're going so far.

1062
00:59:24,019 --> 00:59:25,227
After all, the Earth is only

1063
00:59:25,228 --> 00:59:27,189
35 or 40 million
miles from here.

1064
00:59:29,066 --> 00:59:30,649
- You know, the way we've
constructed this thing,

1065
00:59:30,650 --> 00:59:32,026
there's a good chance
we might be able

1066
00:59:32,027 --> 00:59:34,361
to bring back a couple
of extra people.

1067
00:59:34,362 --> 00:59:37,156
I didn't wanna tell you
until I was sure of it,

1068
00:59:37,157 --> 00:59:39,785
but you're going back with
me, you and your father.

1069
00:59:41,661 --> 00:59:42,661
- No.

1070
00:59:43,872 --> 00:59:44,872
- Why?

1071
00:59:46,249 --> 00:59:49,251
- There's a reason why our
government wants a rocket ship.

1072
00:59:49,252 --> 00:59:51,754
10 years from now,
there'll be no more corium.

1073
00:59:51,755 --> 00:59:54,381
After that, all life
here will be extinct,

1074
00:59:54,382 --> 00:59:56,008
unless something is done.

1075
00:59:56,009 --> 00:59:58,094
- You mean what
lkron wants to do?

1076
00:59:58,095 --> 01:00:00,096
- No, there are other solutions.

1077
01:00:00,097 --> 01:00:02,306
- Yes, but unfortunately,
he's in power.

1078
01:00:02,307 --> 01:00:03,641
- There's Tillamar.

1079
01:00:03,642 --> 01:00:05,184
He's a great leader.

1080
01:00:05,185 --> 01:00:06,644
It would be better for
the people of our planet

1081
01:00:06,645 --> 01:00:08,646
if he and my father went.

1082
01:00:08,647 --> 01:00:10,815
- Yes, but can we
trust Tillamar?

1083
01:00:10,816 --> 01:00:13,359
Can we tell anyone
we're ready for takeoff?

1084
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,736
Alita, if I confide in Tillamar,

1085
01:00:15,737 --> 01:00:18,322
I'm risking the fate
of my whole group.

1086
01:00:18,323 --> 01:00:19,323
- Five people?

1087
01:00:22,244 --> 01:00:23,328
- Yes, I see your point.

1088
01:00:32,838 --> 01:00:35,131
- Whatever we decide
here, you have my promise

1089
01:00:35,132 --> 01:00:37,675
that I will not reveal you plan.

1090
01:00:37,676 --> 01:00:39,760
- Will you yourself,
Tillamar, come with us,

1091
01:00:39,761 --> 01:00:41,345
as spokesman for your planet?

1092
01:00:41,346 --> 01:00:43,430
- As a statesman to
plead your cause?

1093
01:00:43,431 --> 01:00:45,808
- We pick up Earth's
broadcasts, Tillamar,

1094
01:00:45,809 --> 01:00:47,351
and you can deliver
whatever news there is

1095
01:00:47,352 --> 01:00:48,395
from the world beyond.

1096
01:00:50,313 --> 01:00:53,023
- Perhaps to replace corium,
Earth with grant us uranium

1097
01:00:53,024 --> 01:00:55,693
in exchange for many
things we have here,

1098
01:00:55,694 --> 01:00:59,780
inventions far beyond anything
Earthmen have yet achieved?

1099
01:00:59,781 --> 01:01:02,283
- Interplanetary
trade relations!

1100
01:01:02,284 --> 01:01:03,785
-You'll go then, Tillamar?

1101
01:01:05,245 --> 01:01:06,954
- Yes, I will go,
but once I am gone

1102
01:01:06,955 --> 01:01:08,455
lkron will declare me a traitor.

1103
01:01:08,456 --> 01:01:10,124
- Oh, perhaps at first,

1104
01:01:10,125 --> 01:01:11,250
but when you have
talked to our people

1105
01:01:11,251 --> 01:01:12,459
through Earth's broadcasts,

1106
01:01:12,460 --> 01:01:14,128
when you tell them of your plan

1107
01:01:14,129 --> 01:01:15,796
and that you're on
a mission for them,

1108
01:01:15,797 --> 01:01:17,381
there will be a new
vote in the council,

1109
01:01:17,382 --> 01:01:18,966
lkron will be overthrown.

1110
01:01:18,967 --> 01:01:20,885
- Well, how can you
be sure of that?

1111
01:01:20,886 --> 01:01:22,303
- Because I will stay here
as your representative,

1112
01:01:22,304 --> 01:01:24,805
and organize the
active opposition.

1113
01:01:24,806 --> 01:01:26,223
- But-
- Don't worry, Alita,

1114
01:01:26,224 --> 01:01:28,809
you are going, not I,
but I'll see you again,

1115
01:01:28,810 --> 01:01:30,937
I have confidence in
Tillamar that I will!

1116
01:01:32,981 --> 01:01:34,815
- I've called you all
together to tell you that,

1117
01:01:34,816 --> 01:01:36,317
thanks to Jim, the
repairs on the rocket ship

1118
01:01:36,318 --> 01:01:37,443
are now complete.

1119
01:01:37,444 --> 01:01:39,111
- We'll take off tomorrow!

1120
01:01:39,112 --> 01:01:40,779
- Well, how do you know
it'll function properly?

1121
01:01:40,780 --> 01:01:42,364
You haven't been able
to make any real tests.

1122
01:01:42,365 --> 01:01:44,158
- That's the chance
we'll have to take,

1123
01:01:44,159 --> 01:01:45,784
but I'm positive it'll work.

1124
01:01:45,785 --> 01:01:47,411
- What's to keep them
from stopping us?

1125
01:01:47,412 --> 01:01:49,496
- That's just it, they
don't know that it's ready,

1126
01:01:49,497 --> 01:01:52,458
and if we handle it right
and are very careful,

1127
01:01:52,459 --> 01:01:54,084
we'll be gone
before they know it.

1128
01:01:54,085 --> 01:01:55,878
- We've worked out plans
whereby each one of us

1129
01:01:55,879 --> 01:01:57,922
will enter the ship
tomorrow at different times,

1130
01:01:57,923 --> 01:02:01,258
without arousing suspicion,
and remain there until takeoff.

1131
01:02:01,259 --> 01:02:03,344
Everything must be done
with extreme secrecy,

1132
01:02:03,345 --> 01:02:06,513
lkron apparently has
spies everywhere.

1133
01:02:06,514 --> 01:02:08,515
So let's get packing.

1134
01:02:08,516 --> 01:02:11,477
- Uh, just a moment, if
you don't mind, uh...

1135
01:02:11,478 --> 01:02:14,105
There's one more thing I'd
like to bring before you,

1136
01:02:15,273 --> 01:02:17,524
and that is that
I've asked Alita

1137
01:02:17,525 --> 01:02:19,193
to come back with
me and be my wife.

1138
01:02:19,194 --> 01:02:20,861
- Certainly!
- Great.

1139
01:02:20,862 --> 01:02:22,542
- Grand idea, bring her along!
- Thank you.

1140
01:02:24,157 --> 01:02:26,075
- Am I supposed
to say something?

1141
01:02:26,076 --> 01:02:28,160
- Sure, some kinda witty remark.

1142
01:02:28,161 --> 01:02:31,038
Tillamar will accompany us also.

1143
01:02:31,039 --> 01:02:33,040
- Why don't we take
a few more people?

1144
01:02:33,041 --> 01:02:35,000
- Carol, I...

1145
01:02:35,001 --> 01:02:37,503
I'd like to tell you how much
I appreciate all you've done.

1146
01:02:37,504 --> 01:02:39,171
- Oh, don't apologize, Jim,

1147
01:02:39,172 --> 01:02:41,257
I think it's just
marvelous to take

1148
01:02:41,258 --> 01:02:43,759
two live specimens back with us.

1149
01:02:48,306 --> 01:02:50,891
Well, anybody
seen that deck of cards?

1150
01:02:50,892 --> 01:02:52,518
- What do you want
with a deck of cards?

1151
01:02:52,519 --> 01:02:54,395
- I feel a game of
solitaire coming up.

1152
01:02:54,396 --> 01:02:55,814
Come on.

1153
01:03:21,923 --> 01:03:23,132
Professor?

1154
01:03:23,133 --> 01:03:24,466
Yes?

1155
01:03:24,467 --> 01:03:25,467
Here.

1156
01:03:25,468 --> 01:03:26,428
- Everything all right?

1157
01:03:26,429 --> 01:03:28,053
- Yes.

1158
01:03:28,054 --> 01:03:29,430
This gets all the
important stuff.

1159
01:03:29,431 --> 01:03:31,974
The others will be
aboard later in the day.

1160
01:03:40,608 --> 01:03:42,234
- Yes, Terris?

1161
01:03:42,235 --> 01:03:44,111
- I'm worried about
the rocket, sir.

1162
01:03:44,112 --> 01:03:46,280
Something is going on,
it looks very suspicious.

1163
01:03:46,281 --> 01:03:48,073
- Why do you think so?

1164
01:03:48,074 --> 01:03:49,491
- First of all, no
workmen have been allowed

1165
01:03:49,492 --> 01:03:51,577
inside of the rocket
in the last 24 hours,

1166
01:03:51,578 --> 01:03:53,245
and, secondly, the corium tanks,

1167
01:03:53,246 --> 01:03:55,080
which were to hold
fuel for their return,

1168
01:03:55,081 --> 01:03:56,999
have been moved
from the laboratory.

1169
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,209
- You mean they may have
been placed in the rocket?

1170
01:03:59,210 --> 01:04:01,086
- Oh, I don't know.

1171
01:04:01,087 --> 01:04:03,172
Even if they are on the
ship, it may mean nothing,

1172
01:04:03,173 --> 01:04:04,548
but I thought you ought to know.

1173
01:04:04,549 --> 01:04:07,176
You might wanna
question one of them.

1174
01:04:07,177 --> 01:04:09,219
- Well, there is
one we can question.

1175
01:04:09,220 --> 01:04:10,846
The girl, Alita.

1176
01:04:10,847 --> 01:04:12,348
- Good, I will bring her here.

1177
01:04:12,349 --> 01:04:13,475
- No, no, no, not here!

1178
01:04:14,434 --> 01:04:15,601
In the council room.

1179
01:04:15,602 --> 01:04:17,102
I will call a meeting at once!

1180
01:04:17,103 --> 01:04:18,396
- Very good, sir.

1181
01:04:51,012 --> 01:04:53,305
- Hey, don't I know
you from somewhere?

1182
01:04:53,306 --> 01:04:54,515
- Girl scientist!

1183
01:04:54,516 --> 01:04:56,559
- Oh, yes, now I remember.

1184
01:04:59,979 --> 01:05:02,523
-You know, I've been thinking.

1185
01:05:02,524 --> 01:05:04,149
If we make it back to Earth,

1186
01:05:04,150 --> 01:05:06,360
I'd like to do a
series of articles.

1187
01:05:06,361 --> 01:05:09,238
- Enchanting idea,
very worthwhile.

1188
01:05:09,239 --> 01:05:11,074
- But, you see, I,
I'm not an author,

1189
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,118
I'd need a ghostwriter.

1190
01:05:14,119 --> 01:05:16,537
Do you suppose that you-
- How long would it take?

1191
01:05:16,538 --> 01:05:17,538
- Oh, I don't know.

1192
01:05:18,623 --> 01:05:20,624
Maybe the rest of our lives?

1193
01:05:20,625 --> 01:05:22,334
- If you're kidding,
I'll break your neck!

1194
01:05:23,503 --> 01:05:25,129
- I'm not kidding,

1195
01:05:25,130 --> 01:05:26,965
I think you'd make a
wonderful collaborator.

1196
01:05:30,927 --> 01:05:33,053
- I'm not happy
leaving you here.

1197
01:05:33,054 --> 01:05:35,014
- But think of the
adventure before you.

1198
01:05:36,141 --> 01:05:37,433
- I'll miss you.

1199
01:05:37,434 --> 01:05:39,060
- But not for long, my child,

1200
01:05:40,979 --> 01:05:43,019
and I'm sure you're going
to be very happy with him.

1201
01:05:43,481 --> 01:05:44,481
- I think so too.

1202
01:05:45,733 --> 01:05:47,359
- Are you going
aboard the rocket now?

1203
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:48,360
- Yes.

1204
01:05:49,237 --> 01:05:50,237
- Goodbye, Alita.

1205
01:06:17,432 --> 01:06:20,142
- Oh, what, what is this?

1206
01:06:20,143 --> 01:06:21,143
Terris?

1207
01:06:21,144 --> 01:06:22,436
- You'll come with us.

1208
01:06:27,609 --> 01:06:31,069
- Yes, the tanks are on the
rocket ship, but I told you why.

1209
01:06:31,070 --> 01:06:33,072
The new outlet valves
have to be tested.

1210
01:06:34,073 --> 01:06:35,073
- Why are they new?

1211
01:06:36,201 --> 01:06:38,118
- The old ones didn't fit!

1212
01:06:38,119 --> 01:06:40,079
They were damaged
during the explosion.

1213
01:06:41,372 --> 01:06:42,748
- And you say they
cannot possibly be ready

1214
01:06:42,749 --> 01:06:44,750
for another two
weeks for a takeoff.

1215
01:06:44,751 --> 01:06:46,668
- I only know what Jim says

1216
01:06:46,669 --> 01:06:48,630
and I heard him say
that just yesterday!

1217
01:06:55,136 --> 01:06:56,303
- Everyone else on board?

1218
01:06:56,304 --> 01:06:57,513
- Yes.

1219
01:06:57,514 --> 01:06:58,639
- Well, I'll be off.

1220
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:00,766
- I'll follow you in 10 minutes.

1221
01:07:00,767 --> 01:07:03,101
- Weren't Alita and Tillamar
supposed to meet you here?

1222
01:07:03,102 --> 01:07:04,645
- Yes, that was the plan.

1223
01:07:04,646 --> 01:07:06,813
They should've been here by now!

1224
01:07:06,814 --> 01:07:08,607
- Jim, are you sure
everything is all right?

1225
01:07:08,608 --> 01:07:10,484
- Yes, don't worry about it.

1226
01:07:10,485 --> 01:07:12,485
It's a long trip, you'd
better get started, Doctor.

1227
01:07:20,161 --> 01:07:21,620
Where's Alita? It's
almost time to go!

1228
01:07:21,621 --> 01:07:23,288
- That's what I
came to tell you.

1229
01:07:23,289 --> 01:07:25,249
You must leave
immediately while you can.

1230
01:07:25,250 --> 01:07:27,167
Alita's being held before
the council for questioning!

1231
01:07:27,168 --> 01:07:28,627
- But then she and
Tillamar are both there.

1232
01:07:28,628 --> 01:07:30,212
<i>'</i> Yes!

1233
01:07:30,213 --> 01:07:31,338
- Tillamar has
double-crossed us.

1234
01:07:31,339 --> 01:07:32,756
- There's no proof of that!

1235
01:07:32,757 --> 01:07:34,675
- She may be in
danger of her life!

1236
01:07:34,676 --> 01:07:36,510
- Forget Alita, leave in the
rocket while you still can!

1237
01:07:36,511 --> 01:07:38,720
- No, we'll go to
the council meeting.

1238
01:07:38,721 --> 01:07:41,391
Tillamar may even have done
something to the rocket!

1239
01:07:43,851 --> 01:07:45,519
-Will you tell us the
truth or go on lying?

1240
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,354
- I suggest we hold her

1241
01:07:47,355 --> 01:07:48,689
and send our men to
seize the rocket at once!

1242
01:07:48,690 --> 01:07:49,856
- The council will vote on it.

1243
01:07:49,857 --> 01:07:51,191
- Wait!

1244
01:07:51,192 --> 01:07:52,651
If she's telling the truth,

1245
01:07:52,652 --> 01:07:54,736
what will be gained
by seizing the rocket?

1246
01:07:54,737 --> 01:07:57,197
According to her, it
isn't ready to go!

1247
01:07:57,198 --> 01:07:58,657
And if we take over
the rocket now,

1248
01:07:58,658 --> 01:08:00,450
it may never be
ready for flight.

1249
01:08:00,451 --> 01:08:02,578
We need the Earthmen
working on it!

1250
01:08:02,579 --> 01:08:04,371
- If she's lying, it'll depart

1251
01:08:04,372 --> 01:08:06,290
and we will be
left with nothing!

1252
01:08:06,291 --> 01:08:09,876
- Ikron, I have trust in
the things of the universe

1253
01:08:09,877 --> 01:08:11,545
and in the creator!

1254
01:08:11,546 --> 01:08:13,755
- You are a naive
fumbling old man!

1255
01:08:13,756 --> 01:08:15,882
- A vote, lkron's
plan or Tillamar's?

1256
01:08:15,883 --> 01:08:17,718
This is time for
action, not words!

1257
01:08:17,719 --> 01:08:19,511
Those who favor lkron-

1258
01:08:19,512 --> 01:08:20,512
- Wait!

1259
01:08:21,889 --> 01:08:23,557
Why are you here?

1260
01:08:23,558 --> 01:08:24,891
We should request his permission

1261
01:08:24,892 --> 01:08:26,685
to have our men
investigate the rocket.

1262
01:08:26,686 --> 01:08:29,521
- Why should it be
investigated at all?

1263
01:08:29,522 --> 01:08:31,106
What is all this?

1264
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:33,233
I have the promise of your help!

1265
01:08:33,234 --> 01:08:34,651
- We have good and just reason

1266
01:08:34,652 --> 01:08:36,570
for believing that
you have betrayed us.

1267
01:08:36,571 --> 01:08:39,906
If that is so, you will find
our generosity is at an end

1268
01:08:39,907 --> 01:08:41,241
and the sort of
hospitality we will show

1269
01:08:41,242 --> 01:08:42,826
will have a different taste.

1270
01:08:42,827 --> 01:08:44,703
- A vote, lkron's
plan or Tillamar's?

1271
01:08:44,704 --> 01:08:46,204
Ikron's!

1272
01:08:46,205 --> 01:08:47,706
- Very well!

1273
01:08:47,707 --> 01:08:50,208
The rocket is to
be seized at once!

1274
01:08:50,209 --> 01:08:51,835
These people are to be held!

1275
01:09:04,515 --> 01:09:05,515
- Alita!

1276
01:09:06,893 --> 01:09:07,893
Guard!

1277
01:09:21,449 --> 01:09:22,949
- Jim should've
been here long ago.

1278
01:09:22,950 --> 01:09:24,451
- I don't understand it!

1279
01:09:24,452 --> 01:09:25,870
I do, there's trouble.

1280
01:09:27,372 --> 01:09:28,748
- Something must've gone wrong.

1281
01:09:41,260 --> 01:09:43,762
I think I see Jim
and Tillamar now!

1282
01:09:43,763 --> 01:09:44,763
With Alita!

1283
01:10:01,572 --> 01:10:04,324
- Open the sky hanger!

1284
01:10:21,843 --> 01:10:23,428
It isn't opening!

1285
01:10:24,804 --> 01:10:26,180
- It won't open!

1286
01:10:27,473 --> 01:10:28,598
- Turn on the oxygen!

1287
01:10:35,022 --> 01:10:36,022
- Can we get out?

1288
01:10:42,822 --> 01:10:44,030
- Take your stations!

1289
01:10:47,744 --> 01:10:49,454
Strap yourselves in!

1290
01:10:54,667 --> 01:10:55,751
- Everyone ready?

1291
01:10:55,752 --> 01:10:57,669
All ready!
