we will passengers traveling on

international flight zero zero nine to

Mars please assemble at along 8. are you

a resident at the moment sir no have you

read the Customs regulations

regulations are perfectly clear on this

point there is a 30 import Duty on all

electronic equipment for the third time

this is not electronic equipment not

with a meteorite hole like that in it

it's legitimate Salvage United Nations

space Charter 37 uh B

well the bit about uh objects which may

prove a danger to navigation all right

what is it which include any

Communications or other satellite which

you'll have seized to function that

thing hasn't given a squeak in a week

haven't you noticed nobody has been able

to ride your run too fast I'd ever since

it blew out

so I've noticed you've read the book and

it isn't even my job

baseways announced their arrival of

flight

Express from Earth

if you're Moon zero two I should sell

that thing along with all the other

space rubbish you collect you're a

bloody Menace I don't think I caught the

name I'm the second officer of the Moon

Express who delayed us for nearly two

minutes if you took off on time you

might land on time I don't see that am I

seeing our passengers through customs I

was just telling this man you can't tell

this man anything about anything

now see the passengers

one of the future captains of the

universe

thank God not all of them make it

Dan get this over to the scrap yard

with your permission

and don't take anything less than twelve

thousand Moon dollars for it I'll try

I've just got time for a shower uh I

want to talk to you about it

my name is turn and face immigration

identification computer please sorry

good evening

I'm sorry Mr Hubbard

I hope you enjoyed your trip sir no more

or less than 100 other trips I've taken

that's a Nifty little charmer JJ Hubbard

so that's a hundred percent hybrid is he

always like that sir to the likes of us

what does he want up here I don't know

probably wants to buy 100 of the Moon if

it was mine he could have it

sheep

listen I was uh talking to Personnel

back at Earth base

they'd still like you back in the

corporation Bill a starting exploration

flights again no

but when they outfit the first flight to

Mercury tell him to call me come on Bill

you know the answer to that one

they can build the engines but where do

they find the stuff to line the rocket

tubes for Journeys like that

we've got regular flights to Mars and

Venus

what more do you want I'm not coming

back into the corporation on passenger

runs I'm a space pilot not a

mechanically minded wet nurse

thank you very much

someone has to be a passenger pilot

what's that you say

I said

someone has to be a passenger pilot

can't hear you

forget it

I'll buy your drink back in town right

oh I'm sorry Miss this area is out of

bounds to passengers

um I'm looking for Mr Captain Kemp

oh

well he's in there he's uh

doing something just at the moment but

he won't be long

you go right in

right

what are you doing here

I was looking for a captain Kemp

place is reserved where space personnel

only I'm sorry

are you Captain Kemp will you go away

are you no

one around

Autobot killed

a couple of days ago

how

retro engines failed on Landing that's

what I heard went straight in crunch

I'm gonna put that thing outside where

people could read it passengers wouldn't

like it

would worry them

hmm

I suppose some

did you get the twelve thousand

hey

he flew the same sort of space very you

got didn't he

his was a little bit older that's all

[Music]

how much longer are we kept sitting here

leading right away Mr Hubbard magazine

captain

he doesn't drink and he can't read

[Music]

you look great

new uniform

same old me on the inside though

got a seat

one up front for the captain

this is Captain Kim Miss captain

you said I'm always at a disadvantage

when I haven't got any clothes on I

never noticed it well

what did you want to see me about

the receptionist at the Spaceport told

me you'd fly over to far side okay

generally

I wondered if you know my brother

won't it happen he's a minor no no I

don't think I know him he was supposed

to meet me at the Spaceport he's

probably waiting at Moon City that's

what the man said we'll check it out

when we get there your first time up

here yes

but I suggest you look up front

[Music]

my God it's so bleak

No Air

no vegetation

one-sixth gravity

14 days sunlight 14 days a night

I suppose Bleak is as good a way as any

to describe it

we're all foreigners here

we always will be

perhaps we should never have come

[Music]

[Music]

the monument there is where Neil

Armstrong landed back in 1969 the power

stations they turned sunlight into

energy

and the ice mines the what ice mines

they're layers of ice are mild down

melted into water and you drink it break

it into oxygen you breathe it

a Hydroponics Laboratory

plants that process oxygen

and when they die we eat them

there's nothing like it anywhere else

it's funny to think that with no air out

there nobody can just open up a window

or stroll about

and feel rain on their faces Captain

Kemp I'm afraid we have no reservation

in the name of Mr Wallace taplin nor

have we any messages for a Miss

Clementine tap then however I've

reserved room 328 for you miss thank you

or could be just later the monorail

doesn't go any farther than Moon City so

he'd be coming by bug

it's a way you get around up here they

run convoys of them over The Far Side to

bring back the minerals

but it's a slow business

where's this claim

spectacle crater

no

oh yes that's here

they're in darkness at the moment

the nearest base is far side five now

that's at least 2 000 miles to Moon City

six days by Convoy

that means it takes longer to get from

one side of the moon to the other than

it does to get here from Earth that's

right what about your spaceship

Ferry it's only a moon fairy slow but I

can do it in 20 minutes

I suppose that to go see when the next

Convoy arrives but I can send a radio

message can't I to see if he's left oh

well no uh well you could have last week

you see we use a ring of communication

satellites for relaying waves around the

curve but one was hit by a meteorite so

we're out of touch with Fireside right

now

21st century

still be the same in the 25th

I suppose so

thanks for your help anyway oh come on

it's not as bad as all that

Splurge out buy yourself a new outfit

you'll feel better

space Captain William H Kemp reporting

to agent Elizabeth Murphy of the lunar

Bureau of Investigation

for immediate interrogation

[Music]

trust you to get your timing wrong

I'm on Duty in half an hour

well we'll have time to talk anyway

how did the trip go

um

spend a dollar and make a dollar big

business

I suppose you've heard about Otto

it happens all the time

I wish I had a dollar for every time

I've heard you say that about a pilot

it doesn't seem to happen to Corporation

Pilots not you too

I just had Harry on to me a while back

I'll tell you what I told him I'm not

going back into the corporation when

they gave up exploration flights they

gave up killing Pilots

I'd lose my job if I let you see this so

I won't

please explain delay submitting evidence

for grounding space Ferry Moon zero two

urgent repeat

urgent

they really are to get me not you Bill

your ship

I'm safe anymore

and the public isn't sure about it

they can't see the difference between

your old space Ferry and a corporation

Express so any crash is bad news

Autos crashes rarely turn the heat on

the corporation chases the bureau

and the bureau chases me and suddenly

I'm running

it would have been anyone else

I'd have had them granted a month ago

you know that

I know that Liz but it's still the only

spaceship I've got

the corporation will take you back

you're still one of the best Pilots they

ever had

but once you get yourself grounded for

safety reasons they won't touch you with

a radar beam they Damned

I'm still not a passenger pilot

bill

the exploration is over it'll never be

over as mercury in the moons of Jupiter

and maybe not Saturn yet but Uranus and

Neptune there are a lot of stars out

there and if the corporation doesn't do

it somebody else will and you'd rather

get yourself killed on some star

then stay alive here on the tattoo old

Moon

anyway you can't ground me

Otto's dead

who's going to do the emergency local

flight

you need my Ferry now

if I have to make the final decision

I must decide to save your life for whom

I'll give you one week more

I'm not going to cover for you any

longer get yourself a major overhaul or

a new spaceship

or you're on the ground

[Music]

I miss him too he's a very good customer

and a good man and a good pilot

as Pilots go

he went

moonflower double this is Latin American

week it's an old-fashioned Pampers punch

[Music]

first one's on the house

[Music]

still tastes like distilled Rocket Fuel

it is still

the rocket fuel

how much is coach this week a 35 a shot

you see we're a long way a long way from

Scotland I know well Otto I'd like to

have said goodbye in Scotch but I

haven't got 35 bucks a shot isn't it

about time he got hungry

a good point my Captain

and so the

pace and

passes into the great unknown of Joe's

old time Moon hush house

perhaps never to return

he was out of one Bex engineer for a

couple of years before he came to me

and he's just glad to be alive

sure all Engineers are crazy

what did you call this pompous punch

tastes more like Tijuana Brass polish

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

thank you

that's no way to treat a foam friend

I bought it a drink what more can a man

do a gentleman wants a word with you

you can tell him to go to hell instead

Mr Hubbard wants to see you

hold a hundred percent Hubbard

why didn't you say so he can go 100 to

Hell let's just go and see Mr Harvard

convince me

[Music]

I'm convinced

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

Community chest

go to jail move directly to jail

do not pass go

do not collect five hundred dollars

would you stop sucking your thumb

what are you going to do

I'll go to jail no while you are in jail

I foreclose on the mortgage and I

bankrupt you

it leaves you 19

000 short

you owe me 17 cents Whitson deducted

from her salary

and don't forget the interest

that will be Harry with our guest

after you

oh scotch

now why didn't you say so

look tell your man not to play with guns

on the surface floor one shot and we'd

all have been breathing empty space so

that's why he didn't try to take it off

me up there well there had to be a

reason didn't I

repeat

and exaggerate Mr Campbell

perhaps I should apologize for sending a

man like Harry to fetch the pilot who

was the first man on Mars

oh you're that camp

a long time ago and now you're flying a

10 year old Space Fairy and salvaging

dead satellites to sell to the junkyards

it's a living hardly Mr Camp hardly

can you stop feeling with that thing

but I've never been to Switzerland but

the only thing worth seeing are the

banks

I think you knew Otto fund back I know

him

and I believe you are the only other

pilot on the moon with the ship for

Charter

Otto was going to do a little job for me

now

now

do you know the asteroids Mr Kemp

the remains of a planet which exploded

or was never formed some of them grains

of dust some the size of small moons and

everything in between

hundreds of thousands of them all

wandering around the Sun in strange

orbits

some never name never charted

the Orphans of the solar system Mr Kemp

and you want to become a father

you can't set up a mine on an asteroid

the cost of flying the equipment up the

supplies bringing the ore back it never

pays

not mine it Mr Kemp land it on the moon

land it

you mean crash it and that's against the

law in a big wave yes because some young

pilot might drop it on moon City

well we don't do things that way

you would have the results of two years

research to help you

we will have the most experienced pilot

on the moon

so what's so special about one asteroid

well you'll find out for yourself when

you get there so I may as well tell you

now

Wilson

too small to have either a name or a

number the asteroid was first

photographed in 1998 when it happened to

pass close to the Earth but it was never

investigated or plotted until two years

ago

this film was taken by Mr Harvard's

astronomical division the asteroid is

barely 60 feet by 30 by 30 estimated

mass approximately six thousand tons

do you read spectrograms Mr Kemp

some of the easy ones

this all looks like aluminum it's very

good

it's quite similar to aluminum but an

aluminum that has been squeezed and

roasted in the heart of an exploding

Planet hundreds of millions of years ago

what is the name again Whitson a ceramic

crystalline form of corundum aluminum

oxide yes

Sapphire Mr Kemp

Sapphire 6

000 tons of gemstone Sapphire

that's what's so special about this

asteroid

well

sounds like a nice profitable idea but

it's still against the law

thanks for the scotch we understand that

you're already in trouble with the law

on safety regulations the bureau wants

to ground you

oh

come now with some that's no way to

treat our guests

Mr Kemp must be entirely free to make up

his own mind

and just suppose I freely make up my

mind to come in what do I get out of it

a brand new space Ferry

it could come in handy or the one

tomorrow

but at that price you could get your own

ship get your own crew

but not secretly

you see someone like myself starts to

outfit an expedition into space well it

attracts questions snoopers

investigations from the bureau

but you

or you just pop off into space on one of

your Scavenging flights no questions

asked

and a few days later

an asteroid just happens to land on the

far side of the moon and since nobody's

bothered to plot it nobody can say that

it didn't land there naturally

meteos have hit the moon before

I wonder if you'd repeat that price

and use spaceship just like that

that's what the man said are you sure

you weren't as drunk as I was that's

what I thought when I got up this

morning so I called him and I wasn't

drunk so what's all this about engines

then therefore the asteroid

get up

it seems that one Otto was going to do

the job he had an option on some old

k-5s

from a Mars Explorer

you're all cheap

they must be at least

seven years old they still look pretty

good to me except for number three they

never got the startup circuits right

give her a thump and she'd light off

roof or if you didn't thump her she

wouldn't light at all

Mars was easy she was a difficult better

do we need all three yes they should be

loading right now but don't tell anybody

[Music]

you're leaving again pretty quickly bill

that's unsalaried workers have to keep

working

that looks like quite a heavy load you

have there

what is it

oh some experimental propulsion

equipment I want to test in space

we may have something really big here

section 47c paragraph one no information

about commercial or industrial Secrets

need to be disclosed without the

authority of a moon called warrants

oh yeah

there's more than one way to skin a cat

good luck Boone

you'll have to marry that girl Bill what

do you mean after it might be better

than ever throw you in jail

I didn't tell her lie just then oh

you've got to that stage you'd better

marry her anyway

I asked you to stay out of sight until

we were ready we just came down to

witness the liftoff of Earth Express

we understand it's a side note tourists

should miss

when would you be ready to lift off yes

this time we can pay the bill okay

the pump valve on number two we're ready

now

passengers he's got a computer in that

briefcase

and Harry can help with the heavy work

I'll get out there

that's Mr Kaminsky isn't it your

engineer

what nationality is he

born on Earth

it wasn't quite what I asked were all

foreigners up here

ready to go

without the pistol please

you don't take this off me twice then

the Trip's off that thing goes off in

the ship we'd never get back to explain

why

give it to me Harry

let's hope we all have a profitable trip

let you know in about four days

okay we're pressurized you can take your

helmets off

and I want the main course exactly 90

seconds after blast off yes Mr Kemp

are you letting game navigate

he's got a better computer than we have

can you use it

as long as he remembers you can't get

miles per hour on credit

Moon control zero two

request takeoff clearance

round trip no Landing away as usual

Mars expressed you in 20 minutes

zero two

I'll try to miss him out

[Music]

that course yet with some

relative to the elliptic I want a course

of alpha 351 beta179 speed 17 500.

it sounds as if it knows

it does doesn't it

do you think you mean still sort of over

there

or more or less I suppose

I hope it's not too difficult for you

not at all Mr witch well if you have an

obitigraph I hope I can make the

situation clear to you it's over there

well it's not new but I think it works

[Music]

the Earth

the moon revolving around it now this

year this week the asteroid is making

its closest approach to the moon since

1998. on this course

our interception course will be just

here 45 hours from now you will arrange

the engine on the surface of the

asteroid and we shall fire them four

hours later

the asteroid will change to this orbit

you will observe that its speed relative

to the Moon is quite slow and that it is

only visible from Far Side

the radar stations on near side cannot

see it

you appreciate the importance of this

well if they could we'd be in jail the

moment we got back exactly

then after an interval of three days

during his time the asteroid will have

come to within 10 000 miles of the Moon

we shall return to it take new

measurements reset the engines and fire

them again

the asteroid lands on the moon

crunch I get the picture the

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

you're a friend of his no I'm his sister

that's a great relief was he on this

Convoy well if he was I didn't see him

would you like to sit down take a drink

yes yes join us come three more rocket

fills please all over here yeah

and I come to think of it I haven't seen

Wally at all maybe four months he sent

me a cable to meet him here you're just

up from Earth yeah you tried radioing

him of course you can't that satellites

out isn't it I think they'd have decent

Communications here on the moon no

government ever spent one dollar until

they'd lost five

yeah five of us

being out of contact the way we are

around the back there

hello Miss Murphy

the ladies lost her brother

and do you plan to spend the evening

consoling now

any news must happen something must have

happened to him nobody's seen him for

months well he may have just missed the

Convoy it's pretty rough country out of

Far Side five yes that's what must have

happened I've never known Wally in time

for anything

well if you have any news or want any

help

just let me know

come on drink up we'll teach you how to

play

dealer takes two

there was three you they've been ditch

digger

little mistake among friends

kept two good ones have you

we're going to use the main engines for

the Final Approach so strap yourselves

down

I'll go down and get the leads from the

other engines

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

now if each engine is set for exact clay

one hundred thousand pounds thrust then

if we far in uh

three minutes nine seconds and four

exactly one hour and 18 minutes if

number three goes off right on time if

it doesn't it'll ruin the whole

operation our rigots are the one number

three goes off

so do all the rest but it must fire

exactly on time I'll stay here and give

it a thump when you give me the

countdown when they do fire she won't

make like a spaceship but she'll be

building up fast will you be okay

provided I get off in the first 10

seconds yes all right are you sure

you'll be all right Mr Kim you take care

there's a lady been asking for you for

the past couple of days

what's she drinking

Green Mary what

[Music]

Rocket Fuel and cabbage juice

[Music]

which takes the taste away from which I

don't know I only serve him

[Music]

imagine

all right

found your brother yet no

not on the Convoy not on two convoys and

nobody seems to have seen him in nearly

four months while Fireside is a big

place you just don't go visiting someone

when it's a hundred miles of rough

country and in a moon bug which

cheers

[Music]

Mr Kemp do you know anything about Moon

mining moms a little can you explain the

two-year rule well you gotta claim for

two years and if you haven't found

anything at the end of that time you get

thrown off somebody else gets it there's

quite a waiting list seems a bit unfair

maybe but the moon cost a lot of money

to get started and they can't have

people just digging holes and not

finding anything

how long has your brother had his claim

two years and three days time and he

hasn't struck anything yet but he has he

said so in his cable that's why I'm up

here well you better tell him to get

over and prove it before he loses his

claim my radio oh no

but the convoys

no they wouldn't be quick enough

Mr Kemp will you fly me over there

I know I haven't got ten thousand

dollars on me now but if Wally's found

something we'll pay you back as soon as

we're selling it I couldn't land on your

brother's claim

it's much too rough country

but we could go to far side five it's a

24-hour ride and a bug from there

you can owe it to me

and what the hell I'm nearly Rich anyway

let's have another drink

land I'd like two more of whatever they

are

we weren't thinking of taking the young

lady for a ride were you Mr Kim

I'm a pilot for hire you're already

hired dropper

it'll only be a three-day trip I'll be

back in time you're working for Mr

hubbin dropper

you seem to have your hand on me

Mr Hubbard's hand

tell them to keep it on things he really

owns

[Music]

if we're gonna play

we're gonna play by my rules

[Music]

touchdown in

70 minutes

be careful we're just going weightless I

ship is different in other ways

it'll be dark of a Far Side you are in

for a nice long night drive in a mumbag

just built too I just stay with the

sheep and give her a sprinkling and get

some sleep

[Music]

approaching re-entry point

I haven't seen Wally here in the oh must

be nearly four months by now

and tried to radio him a couple of times

but it's always Chancey in the Mountain

Country how about relaying it

well I could ask Nick Hunter to ask

Louis Grenier to ask Tad Connell to pass

on a message but uh

Tad's been in hospital with kidney

trouble the last Fortnight and I know

that Nick went over to Moon City on the

last Convoy

on the other hand I might be able to

contact bill werter

oh no he's off radio for the next couple

of days

sorry there doesn't seem to be any way

well when you didn't hear from him

didn't you think of declaring an

emergency with a six day delay sending a

message by Convoy a hell of an emergency

that would be the satellite's only been

dead for 12 days I know that

well can I take a bug then well one's

out

and I was hoping to do an overhaul on

the other

I'd need a thousand dollars deposit

thank you

is it ready is ready she'll ever be I

guess she'll get you there

and back

no hope so

climb aboard

[Music]

ah move over unless you want to drive

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

foreign

but this is a part of the Moon the

tourists don't usually see if we pull

the wrong lever out here there's no

guarantee we'll even be found I'm sorry

but I'm not a tourist Mr Kemp I'm here

to stay and work with my brother fine

just be careful in here until you're

used to what's what

I understand

how long does it stay dark it'll be

Sun up in 40 hours

must get awfully cold out there 200

degrees below zero

and up above boiling point when the

sun's out

don't worry these bugs have efficient

heating and cooling systems I've always

got the moon suits

always be foreigners

why'd your brother pick this sand in the

moon you didn't it was the only claim

left when he got here that figures what

was he mining on Earth

go some silver last thing he found was

copper up in Montana

sold out cheap to a big company

he always thinks there'll be a bigger

and better strike over the next Hill he

came over a big hill this time

your father

he blew himself up five years ago

dynamiting for emeralds in the Andes

I hardly knew him

he was always off somewhere digging a

new hole over a new Hill

you're the girl camper was the first man

on Mars

that's right it's funny meeting you like

this

driving a hired movie no

and remember when we got

we got landed on Mars

cool girl then and I wasn't very

interested in space travel

[Music]

then the astronomy teacher showed us

Mars one night and told us how far it

was

still eggs

I remember your name from then

the man who'd flown his spaceship for 40

million miles well not quite

single-handed oh I could still recite

with the names of the crew

that's more than I could

why'd you give it up exploring it gave

me up

after Mars and Jack Harvey got on Venus

the corporation decided that passengers

was where the money was

sure it would have taken some money and

some new inventions too to get Mercury

and

Jupiter's moons

but somebody's gonna do it

anyway I wasn't a passenger pilot so I

quit

I understand you do oh

always something over the next two

I know and all was on borrowed money

but there is something over the hill

that's the trouble for a woman

all space travel is just a big web

getting out of the house on a Saturday

evening well if you don't have anything

better to do

with a vein of nickel in it and a very

rich one

while he did find something

are you sure I know a little about

geology

where could he have gone not far or

let's take this bug Dozer

[Music]

foreign

there

[Music]

I suppose you just made a mistake he

managed for two years without making

them and he didn't puncture his suit he

had to have oxygen to look like

to go as he did

one full

one empty

just a stupid mistake

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

s

foreign

ERS wasn't it

yes well he was murdered all right

whatever's in here it isn't Heir

how do we get out of here our bugs

written off

let's try this one

leave a suit on it's 200 degrees below

zero in here

can't we turn the heating on

oh it's all shot the hell and we've only

got power for about 150 miles but not

for heating and cooling as well

we'll have to stay in our suits all the

way I can't do that either

charges won't last more than a few hours

150 miles

but it's over 200 miles back to far side

five yes by the track but this thing's

melted over mountains we're gonna have

to try a shortcut

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

[Music]

okay is nickel very rare on the moon

you find it but not just lying around

is it valuable enough to murder a man

for

you can't price a murder people been

killed for their small change

we're getting pulled way off course how

long does this go on for

another mile

the walls are narrowing

we must be nearing the end are you sure

you can read a map

[Music]

[Music]

well there's a way out will we make it

there's only one way to find out

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

we're going to make it

White

this is where it starts

it'll take a little time yet

thank you

better turn your insulation off say the

last of the charge we might need it

later on

how far now

about 80 miles it looks as though the

worst is over seems pretty flat from

here

just when we need the shade

take off your moon suit

what are you gonna do now

now that you're not going to work with

your brother

back to Earth

I hadn't really thought

any jobs going for a good spaceshipping

clock up here

could be

bill

I'm sorry I dragged you into all this

I'm not

it'd be a bit silly for Bill Kemp to die

just here

on the moon

after all the places you've been I mean

it would be a bit silly for Bill Camp to

die any place as far as I'm concerned so

sit down and start telling me how much

farther we have to go

[Music]

is there any water left

stamina boiling

well what's the matter

why nothing

not a thing

if it gets any hotter I very likely take

the rest of your talk

[Music]

how much farther

[Music]

only a few miles how many of you

I don't know Seven Ten which is it seven

or ten

I'm sorry but seven means we might make

a ten means we won't

look we've got power for another couple

of miles then we walk we've only got an

hour's insulation charge left in the

suit

[Music]

the overheating is melted the pressure

buddy I only go

quick into your suit

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

all right Bill you're under arrest

fine

now has anybody got a nice cool drink

foreign

ly appeared

she always gets a man deal

well you've really been running up an

account this time

causing a disturbance liable to breach

the pressure of an outside room

malicious damage to Hotel property Miss

taplin's brother has been murdered out

there

come on you can do better than that

yes well three other characters got

killed but I did that myself when you

get into trouble you really jump off the

top board don't you

Summoner better get out there and check

something we can check right now

Wally taplin was killed with one of

these

tell me what you think it smells like

go on

just one sniff

it could be cyanide

funny I just took it off my own suit

smells like good fresh air to me

but you thought it was cyanide

now you sold them as air bottles you

sell all Air bottles around here

why

he would better answer him

they made me they wanted taplin's claim

it was due to expire it seems it found

something on it and they had to have it

what for

to land an asteroid on him

they found out about it you've got to

get me off the moon

so

you've reached the confession stage

and in front of the Bureau of

Investigation

I'm glad we got here on time Mr Camp I

was afraid some of my associates might

not realize how essential you are to

this project and would have disposed of

you they tried

really all three of them all three

[Laughter]

it made you Mr Kemp

so we're three men shortly

we should make a note to engage

for arrest

I don't think so

do you Harry

let me get this straight you got that

that asked to murder my brother just so

that you can have a place to land an

asteroid not just any of them

Mr Kemp please don't get yourself killed

unnecessarily

I think

I must be able to get you out of this

one

bill

gonna miss you Bill

he he's in the Rose

we're good

[Applause]

we're quite safe sir none of the shots

pierced the devil

yes well I believe we need to take off

for the asteroid in just under one hour

if you think I'm gonna land that thing

for you now you're but I do

Whitson when was the last time we

abandoned the project without any profit

Antarctic oils for eight years ago oh

yes I remember there was no aisle there

wasn't it no but there is sapphire in

this asteroid Mr Kemp so

Harry

should the young lady

that's better

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

filings

you wouldn't be trying to poison me my

dear would you

I didn't think of that

I wonder if I could bottle the taste of

caviar you're crazy

did you know that for trying to battle

the taste of caviar but trying to land 6

000 tons of sulfur you won't make a

scent I don't think you know quite as

much about this as you think

Sapphire is only valuable as long as

it's rare they mine about a ton of year

on Earth

six thousand tons on the market and it

becomes as valuable as

colored glass sounds like Antarctic oil

again Mr Hubbard it doesn't

it's a ceramic

tougher than the stuff with lining the

rocket tubes out there and it can stand

more heat than stainless steel

so if one has six thousand tons of it

lying around worth as Miss tapping says

nothing then why not use it to line

rocket tubes they'll be able to build

big engines

real big ones

which could power the ships from Mercury

and they will be my ships Mr Kemp

and anything defined will be my trade at

my prices

they'll have to invent a new word

instead of Rich they won't let you do it

they can't stop me

you put your dirty little fingers on a

lump it

in the gem Market

free later slight tilt before firing for

full retro effect we can arrange that by

firing two engines early one of them

will have to be number three just

remember that yes I have anticipated

that same system as before number three

controls the firing of the others come

out here where the boyfriend can see

your love

sort of encourage him in his work

we have a large infraro here if we file

between

four and seven minutes it'll still land

on the plane good anything else

if I'm going to stay down here in thump

number three again

I'll need a long line

they're up in the passenger deck

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

I think that everything so it will land

16 minutes after firing

excellent timing Whitson Mr taplin's

claim expired half an hour ago

the engineer must have got free but he

couldn't have a handcuffs you think the

girl is lying that thing in the

maintenance look over there there is a

buzzle

can your engineer land that thing on his

own

no

I don't think so and he needs you as

much as we need the ship

Mr Kaminsky if you

are ready to go home now

that's right Harry come and get me

[Music]

but I know

that you're a gun

you'll pay for one

for once be reasonable Mr Kemp we just

want to get back to the Moon same as you

do
