Well, it looks like the jungle in Brazil.

Where the nuts come from(?)

- Any sign of life? - No, not yet.

(Carter) There's one or two small patches of mist'

they just could be smoke.

- 'Keep in touch.' - Will do.

They were approaching some mist. Nothing from the Commander.

'How long does the night last?'

Just over two hours.

'Right. Well, l'll join Eagle 1 .

'lf you hear from the Commander' let me know. Out.'

Alan' down there! l saw something moving!

There are some markers so we can see what we're doing now.

'What news from Dr Mathias? Any information would help.'

l'll chase him up. As soon as we have anything, l'll let you know.

Any news of Sandra?

'No, nothing yet. But don't worry, we'll find her.'

(Carter) Kano, stop!

(Kano) What's wrong?! (Carter) Avoid the mist!

l hate back-seat drivers. We've got lights!

- The markers lead straight in. - l know.

They've all gone into that mist,

the Reconnaissance Party, everyone. lt was the last message.

We're moving into some mist. We'll try and reach them before dark.

- They all went in? - Right. And none of them came out.

Let's go round on foot.

(All moaning)

(Carter) Professor! Be careful! Over here!

(Koenig continues moaning)

(Russell grunting)

Look.

(Bergman) My God ' look at the condition he's in.

He's covered with blood.

He's half dead.

John?

(Stops moaning)

(Bergman) John?

John!

- What the hell are you doing?! - No, don't!

(Grunting)

- Are you out of your mind? - l'm beginning to wonder.

Professor, look!

lt's a yellow sleeve , it's Sandra's.

Look at it. Look at it!

lt's got blood all over it!

What have they done to her?

Those murdering savages!

l'm gonna search this cave ,

every inch of it.

By God ' if they've hurt her...!

Sandra!

SANDRA!

Kano, l can't explain but l think that was John Koenig.

- The Commander? - We must go after him .

We've got to find him.

You go that way, l'll go this way, meet round the other side .

Get through to Dr Mathias'

l want everything prepared for the Commander.

- Have the operating theatre ready . - Yes.

He's lucky to be alive. Whoever hit him meant business.

(Carter) Sandra!

Sandra!

Sandra?

Sandra!

(Carter) Sandra?

Sandra?

Sandra!

(Medical monitors beep)

(Chuckles)

We found you down on Ritha, thought we might have to operate.

Lucky for you, ou've ot a thick skull.

What about the others?

Helena...?

No sin of them at all.

Just markers going into the mist.

The mist...

Yes.

We found a big cave down there where a tribe of cavemen seemed to live .

Very interesting.

They were going to bury one, and he wasn't dead.

But he was in pretty bad shape.

The light wasn't much good but l got a good look at him

and for a moment l really thought it was you.

- Family resemblance . - Uh-huh(!)

We've got to go back down there .

Oh, yeah.

Got to find our people.

You're not going back down there.

You're confined to bed for at least a week.

And in two days we'll be out of range .

Professor Bergman...

- Professor Bergman, Commander. . . - Excuse me.

The autopsy report. What?

He was a Stone Age man, all right, similar to our Cro-Magnon period,

say 40 ,000 years ago'

but he died of shock, his heart stopped , nothing else is wrong.

But he had caps on his teeth .

Caps on his teeth?

On the basis of this l made further tests.

He's one of ours. Sandoz.

Sandoz was the Eagle pilot on the first reconnaissance flight.

Skin type , blood group, fingerprints, everything checks out.

l don't understand it.

Wait a minute, l think l'm beginning to understand.

lf one Stone Age man turns out to be Sandoz'

then maybe the one you thought was me . . .was me.

Oh, how? How could it possibly. . .?

Don't ask me how but... if it was me. . .

then maybe Helena and the rest of the Alphans are...

are also Stone Age people.

lt's our own people who've got Sandra...

My God, Carter.

What? Tell me?

Carter's got a ray gun. lf anything happens to Sandra. ..

- We've got to go down there! - We'll go!

Bob, get my clothes.

(Sobbing)

Sandra!

(Men groaning)

(Sobs)

(Screaming)

(Growling)

(Screeching)

(All groaning in unison)

(Screaming)

(Growls)

(Groaning continues)

(Whimpers)

(Hiss)

(Russell growling)

(Rhythmic groaning and percussion)

(Screams) No! No!

This way!

No! No!

Alan! They're going to kill me!

(Benes) No! Helena!

Alan! Screamin

NO!

No, Alan!

(Chanting and percussion stop)

(Russell grunts)

Sandra.

Back to the entrance!

Keep going.

All right' run for the mist!

(Screeching)

(Grunts and growls)

You three are decoys, but don't go in the mist!

Victor' behind that rock. l'm here. Force them into the mist!

(Yelling and grunting)

- John, what are you doing? - The answer's in that mist!

(Koenig) Fire!

(Yelling and grunting)

Fire!

John...?

Round the other side' quick!

- Helena? - Victor?

(Chuckles)

John! Oh!

We nearly lost you.

Likewise .

(Koenig) How are they? Any ill effects?

Not at all. They're all as fit as before we left.

And no one remembers anything, l suppose?

Not first-hand . Only what Sandra's told us.

Damn!

An experience like that and no first-hand information.

You go back 40 ,000 years and no one knows what it felt like!

Sorry, Victor.

Oh, well' we're out of range of Ritha now so we'll never know.

l wish l could remember. l'd like to know how much we really have changed.

Our instincts' basic emotions, feelings.

By the sound of it not all that much.

lt seems cavewomen felt jealousy for the same reasons l would.

l was quite flattered when l heard about that.

Hmm.

Victor' were there any other cave people besides us?

No, just you.

Because we couldn't speak, couldn't communicate, we...

we misunderstood.

We got frightened , angry' jealous. . .

- vengeful. - Yes, vengeful.

To the point of killing.

And yet it was only us there .

Do you think we've changed all that much in 40 ,000 years?

- You think we ever will? - Maybe .

Just maybe.

l'll let you know in 40 '000 years.
