I'm getting the same interference here. 48 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,980 Collisional alarm. Emergency procedure. Quick. 49 00:07:06,740 --> 00:07:12,080 Scanner shows that we're...

Get a distance reading on it. 52 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:26,490 It's up to maximum magnification now. 53 00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:35,710 Whatever it is, it's changing its size. 54 00:07:36,730 --> 00:07:37,730 And ring. 55 00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:51,120 meters are having convulsions. Nothing I do will correct it. 56 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,760 Magnetic. 57 00:07:58,180 --> 00:08:02,220 We're on a direct course with whatever it is. 58 00:08:02,460 --> 00:08:04,300 And we're due to connect with it any second. 59 00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:10,580 We had to go to Mars. 60 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,840 We couldn't go to the moon like everybody else. 61 00:08:30,350 --> 00:08:31,350 All dead. 62 00:08:32,169 --> 00:08:34,950 The rockets are inoperable except for the emergency unit. 63 00:08:41,710 --> 00:08:42,710 We're going down. 64 00:08:42,809 --> 00:08:44,090 Mayday. Mayday. 65 00:08:44,330 --> 00:08:45,830 This is Mars Probe 1. 66 00:08:46,250 --> 00:08:47,250 Mayday. 67 00:08:47,470 --> 00:08:48,510 We may have a chance. 68 00:08:48,750 --> 00:08:50,650 Quick, Charlie. Jet us in the main stage. 69 00:08:51,050 --> 00:08:53,750 Doc, you better track it in case we have to follow it down. 70 00:08:55,250 --> 00:08:56,470 Main stage, get it. 71 00:08:57,090 --> 00:08:58,090 Tracking it. 72 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,160 He's going down there. 73 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,400 Mark. 74 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:07,660 Desert region. 75 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,060 No use, Steve. 76 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,760 We're going down. 77 00:09:28,199 --> 00:09:31,200 Mayday. Mayday. This is Mars Probe One. 78 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,720 Mayday. Our pressure suit's quick. The hull may rupture on impact. 79 00:09:37,580 --> 00:09:40,200 The gyros are gone. We're rolling over. 80 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,140 Come on, move. I'm switching over to automatic guidance control. 81 00:10:44,940 --> 00:10:47,240 are left in the batteries. I've got them all recharged now. 82 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,800 The transmitter works. 83 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,500 We could send a call for help. 84 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,700 Remember, we blew transmission with Echo One before we went into tighter orbit. 85 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,260 True. We have no way of knowing if our last Mayday call was even received. 86 00:10:59,660 --> 00:11:00,800 It probably wasn't. 87 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,680 That storm up there played havoc with our equipment. 88 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,820 What's to stop us from trying a Mayday call now? 89 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,300 Nothing, technically. 90 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,000 We can give our exact position and wait until help comes. If it comes. 91 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,240 What do you mean, if? If anyone hears it, that's what I mean. 92 00:11:17,660 --> 00:11:21,860 Like Steve said, we blew transmission up there and we've no way of knowing if a 93 00:11:21,860 --> 00:11:22,860 transmission is heard. 94 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,080 There's another choice, though. What's that? 95 00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:30,580 After the batteries recharge, it's a one -shot deal. 96 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:31,840 The radio. 97 00:11:32,420 --> 00:11:35,280 Or open the outside hatch and take our chances out there. 98 00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:36,560 And outside? 99 00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:40,330 You think we stand any chance at all? Personally, I think that's better than 100 00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,830 sitting here not knowing of help is coming. You don't even know what's out 101 00:11:43,830 --> 00:11:45,070 there. Now, wait a minute, you two. 102 00:11:46,070 --> 00:11:48,010 Charlie's got a good point there, so take it easy. 103 00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:49,230 Doc, what's your opinion? 104 00:11:50,010 --> 00:11:52,610 Yeah, Doc, how about it? Can we stay alive out there? 105 00:11:52,910 --> 00:11:57,290 Before making any rash decisions, I think we should evaluate where we are 106 00:11:57,290 --> 00:11:58,290 what we're going to do. 107 00:11:58,490 --> 00:12:02,850 Well, one thing in our favor is our map and a fair idea of where the main stage 108 00:12:02,850 --> 00:12:06,030 tracks. We may be stranded, but we're still alive. 109 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,980 There's enough fortified liquid in our nutrient reserve to last us two, maybe 110 00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:13,900 three weeks if we stretch it out. What about the oxygen? 111 00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:15,860 It's not so good. 112 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,900 The cabin tanks crack like eggshells when we hit. 113 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,000 We've got about a 90 -hour supply in our suit tanks. 114 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,320 90 hours? 115 00:12:23,540 --> 00:12:25,060 That's less than four days. 116 00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:29,140 Well, Doc, think we could make it? 117 00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:38,430 We're here, on the edge of the polar... cap near this main canal. 118 00:12:38,990 --> 00:12:42,290 Three weeks should be more than enough time if we go by raft to the desert 119 00:12:42,290 --> 00:12:43,290 region. 120 00:12:44,050 --> 00:12:47,810 And what do we do if we're out there when our tanks hit zero? 121 00:12:48,050 --> 00:12:52,430 Listen, after spending nine months on this ship, I'd be willing to step 122 00:12:52,430 --> 00:12:56,430 and crack the intake valve on my helmet just to feel solid ground under my feet, 123 00:12:56,570 --> 00:12:57,930 regardless of the consequences. 124 00:12:58,250 --> 00:12:59,009 That's it. 125 00:12:59,010 --> 00:13:00,010 What? 126 00:13:00,390 --> 00:13:03,590 Well, crack the intake valves on our helmet. Oh, yeah. 127 00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,030 And drop dead. 128 00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:06,560 No, I'm serious. 129 00:13:06,580 --> 00:13:10,980 The Martian atmosphere contains oxygen. It's too thin to sustain life, but it's 130 00:13:10,980 --> 00:13:11,980 still oxygen, right? 131 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,440 Basically, yes. 132 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,480 All right. 133 00:13:14,620 --> 00:13:18,420 Say we keep our suit pressure below the level of atmospheric pressure on Mars. 134 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,020 Then we crack the valve and allow the Martian atmosphere to seep into our 135 00:13:22,180 --> 00:13:24,980 supplementing it with oxygen from our own suit tanks. 136 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,200 An oxygen booster. 137 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,940 Exactly. Will it work? 138 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,740 Sure it'll work. There's no reason why it shouldn't. 139 00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:33,300 Is there? 140 00:13:33,340 --> 00:13:34,340 It's settled then. 141 00:13:34,730 --> 00:13:36,630 Looks like we're in for a little unofficial exploration. 142 00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:42,630 Never mind that official business. Let's get out of here before she explodes. 143 00:13:42,930 --> 00:13:44,090 Grab what you can. Hurry. 144 00:14:01,570 --> 00:14:03,830 Steve, what are we going to do now? 145 00:14:04,170 --> 00:14:05,370 We'll have to run for it. 146 00:14:05,790 --> 00:14:07,030 Load your faceplate. 147 00:14:08,930 --> 00:14:10,310 Activate your oxygen supply. 148 00:14:18,930 --> 00:14:23,250 To the north of our wreckage, we can see the endless ice fields of the Martian 149 00:14:23,250 --> 00:14:24,250 polar cap. 150 00:14:24,930 --> 00:14:29,930 South of us, lost somewhere in the vastness of this alien world, the main 151 00:14:30,190 --> 00:14:32,110 and our only hope of survival. 152 00:14:48,780 --> 00:14:52,300 seen any signs of life, I think we should stay away from the shore, at 153 00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:53,300 during the night. 154 00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:57,120 Doc, how far is it to where the main stage came down? 155 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,780 The canal should carry us to the hills. 156 00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:04,260 Then we'll have to make our way on foot to the desert area. It should be near 157 00:15:04,260 --> 00:15:05,800 there. How long will that take? 158 00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:08,560 Well, tonight is part of tomorrow on the canal. 159 00:15:08,940 --> 00:15:11,680 If we make good time, we should reach the hills by evening. 160 00:15:19,020 --> 00:15:20,020 apart during the night. 161 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,540 We'd better be going then. We don't know how much daylight we have left. 162 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,460 How far would you guess it to be? 163 00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:28,820 That main stage can't be far away now. 164 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,460 Roughly a four -day trip? We'll be cutting it close. 165 00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:33,580 Maybe too close. 166 00:15:34,460 --> 00:15:36,980 We've barely enough oxygen for four days. 167 00:15:37,740 --> 00:15:41,220 We shouldn't require as much oxygen now that we're not exerting ourselves. 168 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,500 We can cut down the mixture while we are asleep. 169 00:15:46,010 --> 00:15:49,430 The current will keep us in midstream. Maybe one of us ought to keep awake. 170 00:15:49,730 --> 00:15:51,950 Might be better at that. I'll take the first watch. 171 00:15:52,730 --> 00:15:54,610 I think you can catch a little sleep. 172 00:15:55,250 --> 00:15:57,930 I don't much care for sleeping out here. 173 00:15:58,290 --> 00:16:00,830 I'll take over when you're tired. Just wake me up. 174 00:16:03,930 --> 00:16:08,890 The cold mists of the Martian night bring an end to our first day on this 175 00:16:08,890 --> 00:16:09,890 desolate world. 176 00:16:10,450 --> 00:16:13,190 Our oxygen supply is already a quarter gone. 177 00:16:14,030 --> 00:16:18,230 A short while before sunset, Charlie picked up a weak signal echoing over the 178 00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:19,490 curve of the Martian horizon. 179 00:16:20,370 --> 00:16:26,170 If this signal is from our main stage, and if Doc's map is correct, we may 180 00:16:26,170 --> 00:16:27,470 our destination in time. 181 00:16:28,770 --> 00:16:34,010 I cannot escape the feeling of being watched by some unseen intelligence, and 182 00:16:34,010 --> 00:16:38,090 that perhaps our final destination will not be of our own choosing. 183 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,140 I love you. 184 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,300 Try and bid them off while we get back to the deep of water. 185 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,480 The mist thickens and heals us from the danger we have just escaped. 186 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,260 But now, what new danger hides from us in the fog? 187 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,980 For the water now swirls around us, and somewhere ahead, we can hear it beating 188 00:18:17,980 --> 00:18:19,400 against the walls of stone. 189 00:18:27,630 --> 00:18:29,490 You'll balance the raft better.
