This is the BBC home service here is the

news it was announced by the Home Office

today that the mysterious noise heard

over a lonely part of inverness-shire

yesterday was caused by a supposed

meteor falling to earth many reports

have since come in regarding an

unidentified white aircraft all about

the papers in the morning and it's long

past Tommy's bedtime

off you go Tommy I'll be I'll tuck you

in in ten minutes but mr. Jameson

there's a meteor drop near here meteor a

bit of rock from the sky Tommy yes arm

see I'm going I'll be real glad when his

parents come up from London to take him

off my hands it's not romantic isn't it

coming all that way just to drop in our

back garden are you feeling daft

mrs. Matthews in the village said it

dropped near or Hilarion that's nearly

40 miles away now get on with your work

professor Arnold Hennessey the

well-known astrophysicist has travelled

north today to investigate the

mysterious object and will give a

detailed report to the home office of

its size professor if you can tear

yourself away from your only

hero-worship for just a minute maybe you

can make something in this map I'm no

good at reading Maps look you plucked

stars millions of miles apart in the

heavens yet you can't even read a map of

Scotland you want to know something

professor what we are lost marooned in

the highlands in the depths of winter

you know this whole thing is a waste of

time I don't believe it will turn out to

be a meteor more probably an engine

cowling of an aeroplane

anyway we're seeing bonny Scotland

Robert Justin earlier today escaped from

sterling prison is still at large

his description is as follows

height five feet ten inches

[Music]

[Music]

Jamie yes m'dear and where are you going

hey and what about where in the Scottish

hotel in the middle of winter Jeannie

sounds like a pop we take the pub and a

drink

Jamie yeah that's it again yes put that

national beverage miss you should see

him when he has a patriotic head in the

morning I have no patience with you here

we are professor.

Bonnie Charlie very busy man I think we

should push on ahead we could get a good

deal further tonight professor I've been

driving since daylight I'm not moving

out of here until the morning I'll I can

always dream can't I look and see what

they want Jamie maybe somebody's come to

buy a drink yes

of course for the bar

ah then by all means lead us to the bar

mr. Jimmy's this is how to do good

evening gentlemen

yeah they want accommodation for the

booked a canary but that's 40 miles away

you can't drive as far at this time

tonight and most of my rooms are closed

but well I'll see what I can do though

thank you very much you won't find

everything as it should be mined but the

beds are good well I expect you'd both

like something to eat what I need most

is a drink of course Oh

salvia myself you'll do nothing at the

soft Jaime I'll send daughters to look

after the bar you go and get the bags

out of the car why home good evening my

name is Carter Michael Carter I'm a

correspondent on The Daily messenger oh

really

I write a weekly article you probably

read it probably not I don't read the

messenger

oh well such as for him you're not the

landlord's daughter you're a guest but

from where and why here in the depths of

winter now there is an interesting clue

not many girls drink tomato juice unless

unless what unless they're afraid of

putting on weight I know you're an air

hostess yeah so you're not an air

hostess who are you I'm Doris I'm

Michael I should like a very large

whiskey new very small soda possibly

this lady would like another mr. Spicoli

tomato juice

hello there miss Jameson professor join

me in a drink mr. Prestwick is avoiding

me I'm not at all surprised how to do my

name is Hennessy professor Hennessy the

professor like a scotch mr. Jamison what

about you oh thank you I love a we squat

students professor Hennessy that's it

the radio you were on the nine o'clock

news something about you coming up here

to look for Thunderbolt

course there's no secret about it thank

you the Home Office has asked me to

investigate a meteor that's evidently

fallen near ordinary mr. Carter here

he's covering there the newspaper side

of it I'm sure I saw a flash of light in

the sky really just a shooting star to

give it its popular name quite a common

phenomena mr. Prestwick nothing to worry

about

I've seen him before professor and this

was a much larger flesh quino matters

such as the one I'm investigating gets

reported in the newspapers well

naturally people start imagining all

sorts of things you mean you mean I

thought I saw something that wasn't

there well you probably exaggerated its

size come on have a drink with me that's

it Oh welcome back to their happy circle

well let's all have a drink on me no

this time you it's on the house it's not

ready we have a distinguished professor

from London a writer for the newspapers

I like money less a staying with drinks

on the house Jamie what did you see it's

a good thing Supper's ready

well change your places please I hope

you won't mind eating here but it's the

only room were able to keep properly

heated in the winter professor will you

sit there weren't you

now I'm sure you're all good like my.

Scotch broth I'm sure we've come a long

way just to see a wee bit metal from the

skies mr. Curtis editor hopes it will

turn her to the flag saucer professor

don't be too hard on us newspapers are

published every day we've got a film

with something covered up spaceship come

in very useful exclusive to the

messenger crude but correct Scotland of

all places

monster I won't hear a word against that

decent animal did Scotland a powder good

but I saw it with my own two eyes that

was the time we saw two monsters Jamie

now where's the bread I told that young

man to bring it

oh there you are well come in come in

well what is it I know you I don't think

so Doris be careful what you're doing

girl that's Albert Simpson mr. Carter

he's he's a guest here is that song very

welcome to isn't he mrs. Jamison maybe

he won't be so welcome when you know who

he really is

don't you read the papers

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I don't know

I'll go to Vidya you respect us to here

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

We can't get any closer it's quite hot

[Music]

What are you going cock

[Music]

To the effect or like nothing I've ever

seen before.

Oh what do you mean oh hello it's like

something from another planet

listen mister what do you make of it

that lets thing out there I must confess

I'm completely baffled beyond the fact

that it's some kind of plane or

high-velocity mist or spaceship

that I'm very reluctant to believe it

looks like a flying saucer no no no no

we mustn't let our imaginations run away

with us I quite agree with you professor

you'll see the proper authorities will

be here directly to take it away I don't

like it I don't like it at all oh yes I

guess he's taking the opportunity to get

out of the goings I mean that Simpsons

real name is Robert just there's me.

Jerry that's oh oh you know I ever the

flying saucer my lap not mention the.

Skip company can't get the smaller work

how do you think it looks now it's red

hot

that means we at least two hours before

we can go near it

mr. Jefferson how far as nearest for

seven miles so far as average seven

miles that's where the host with the

phone is well I'm going right there

coming professor

yes the home office should be informed

of this without delay

mr. Carter yes I know it sounds silly

but I don't like to be left here on my

own oh you'll be all right we won't be

long.

[Music]

Don't scream please sure

it's white I don't want to harm you you

are in advance if you're doing out here

I don't know I just had to get out of

there while I couldn't please don't give

me away I must say you don't look

dangerous

I'm not believe me I've never heard

anyone in my whole life on purpose mr.

Carter said that I know and he was right

in a way but he doesn't know what really

happened it's none of my business and

I'm far more frightened of that thing up

there.

Thanks you know when I first met you I

thought you were pretty stuck up but

you're not you're a really nice person

well I've got to get out of here your

car thing you're really far more

frightened than I am

don't you got any friends I've got one

well you better go now and thanks

we've spent a lot of time together in

this kitchen Jamie over the years yes

m'dear

it's alright Madeira I'm with you I know

[Music]

We're down to the village that reporter

did he say what he's gonna do about me I

don't know but I'm sure he'd turn you

and if it got the chance you won't get

it why did you come back why didn't you

go when you could because well because I.

I couldn't leave you just like that what

is this you're staying here

no no I can't do this it's the risk your

particular if they found out you've been

hiding me you know different mean

doesn't feel - no one's gonna look for

you here

that reporter thinks you've gone I never

give up looking for me dies but you

won't be you silly we'll make you look

different

maybe you could grow moustache you'd

look nice with the moustache but Lambert

was well perhaps you could go abroad

just the two of us Ireland you don't

have to the passport for Ireland you

know when you came back tonight

I was frightened I didn't know

now I do know what do you know dice I

love you I've always loved

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

Is the tank full the tank is full I've

checked the carburetor and ignition this

car is perfect I can't understand

just like the telephone well what's to

be done now do we walk to the village

professor I think we'll stick around

here yes you may be right otherwise we

may miss something important come on

let's go inside and let's stand freezing

out here

Doris fixes up a couple of big scratches.

Oh Oh - Oh dance what's the matter Mike

what's the matter what do you make of

this

she can't see us she can't hear us

Doris Doris

horses racing she said some kind of

severe shock what's the explanation

hypnosis perhaps no that's absurd

but tell you that's absurd who are you

my name is nyah

what are you come from Mars

protector preposterous you men on earth

and much as we expected we scientists

were already skeptical about the

possibility of life from Mars

certainly nothing to whom you are a

scientist you are a very poor physical

specimen speak English of course you are.

- English aren't you but other language - should I speak.

You speak other languages I speak them

all pick up our radio of course it's

just the first time any of your

spaceships have landed miss earth

yes this is the first landing why did

you land here a miscalculation the

course was set for London but the

planet's atmosphere was sick of

unexpected a part of his ship was torn

off the supposed meteor professor yes

repairs will take about four eyes are

you know him in the ship Johnny is with

me Johnny Johnny is a mechanical man a

robot with many of the characteristics

of the human but improved by an

electronic many of your earth years ago

our women was similar to yours today our

emancipation took several hundred years

and ended in a bitter devastating war

between the sexes the last war we ever

had so you've had was to all inhabited

planets have had Wars some have ended by

wiping themselves out for every new

weapon invented but offense was

perfected until the ultimate weapon was

developed a perpetual motion chain react

to be

what form did it take as far as matter

was created it was changed by its

molecular structure into the next time

interesting and so destroyed itself so

there is a fourth dimension after the.

War of the sexes women became the rulers

of Mars but now the male is fallen into

a decline the birth rate is dropping

tremendously for despite our advanced

science we have still found no way of

creating life so you've come here for

new blood in a way but also to test a

newly invented organic metal of which my

ship is built on Mars something I will

not return that the metal is too

unstable when I get back we will build

more spaceships meanwhile I will select

some of your strongest men to return

with me to Mars if I don't want to go

with you there is no if your philosophy

may not be appreciated how do you

propose to subdue London or anywhere

else for that matter wants to take your

pick of the man the nuclear ship

contains a paralyzer ray mechanism

capable of freezing all life over a wide

area

like you froze me just now yes professor

to understand that this this thing from

Mars can destroy all life but we must

look objectively on what's happening.

- Mars offers the scientific millennium - now this is the turning point in the.

History of the world

oh you're back mrs. Jamison may I

introduce your latest guest miss nya

she comes from Mars oh well that'll mean

another babe

she's come from where you from Mars Oh.

Jamie Jamie where is he

mrs. Jamison mrs. Jamison

David I can't find him anywhere.

I think he's gone no never go with

Albert Center but have you of course

he's here live no he was superfluous

I hope the specimen you know what the

doing this talk do not try to follow me

you cannot get help around this I've

thrown an invisible wall to which no one

may pass in I don't believe what I do

when she went out of here just now she

just vanished

that's absolutely ridiculous I'm a

scientist

I believe what my brain tells me to

believe what I can see with my own eyes

it's there and you can't see it

professor and that explains the car and

the telephone not working I'm going to

try and find this no come back come back.

Oh mrs. Jamison what's to happen to us

all of us everywhere I don't know but

- whatever comes must be met with courage - remember that and put your trust in the.

Lord

come on Jamie while we're still alive we

might as well have a cup of tea.

Oh what are you doing up here all by

yourself well you can see that thing

better than up here that's tomato juice

girl wouldn't by any chance have a

scotch around what she know but I've got

some brandy yeah help yourself

oh thank why'd you do it Michael

do what drink so much

the girl is as good she is beautiful

don't try and be too clever about things.

Michael it's like drinking you know

doesn't do any good alright who wasn't

named not important it isn't a story

it's a very old story he was a dress

designer very handsome very

sophisticated and very married he's the

artist and you're the model you better

talk about it after tonight you may

never have another chance if you were so

much in love with him why are you hiding

from him because it's no good never

wasn't it never will be

this isn't the first time I run away

only you always find me as you always

hoped he would and I've come here to a

Scottish inn where he won't find her and

you know it my dear girl you're on the

way to recovery as your friend and

advisor I tell you you may now safely

take a drink

no I don't really like to taste of

alcohol really well it is an acquired

taste I've acquired did it take you a

long time to acquire it at me long

enough that was a Spanish war the

invasion of Italy d-day else spelling.

Czechoslovakia a few atomic explosions

which I did not see and now this a.

Martian ship or flying saucer but for me

it's not so much a landmark as journey's

end now I'm letting my hair down

that's that thing out there it is there

Michael

good.

[Music]

What's happened what she wasn't she

wasn't lying

it's there what is the invisible wall I

walked down the garden down the end

where the slope is Christ into it

it was just like crashing into a brick

wall what does one do about something

one can't even see I don't know I

honestly don't know I do

she's got gonna sorts that's all right.

Jamie if that thing to meet once I'll

have no one paying with firearms around

here someone might get up at mrs.

Jamison is a general idea you mean you

want to shoot her no choice unless

unless we take her prisoner but even for

that we'll need the gun it isn't just

for us there's enough destructive power

in that ship direct the whole country

you better let me have that mr. Jimson

I'm used to things like this it's kind

of ancient isn't it many shells have you

got it just the five mind you I don't

know how to walk it hasn't been fired

these 20 years mr. Jeffers go bind that

bar pretend to be busy will you

professor staring here this is Jamison.

Ellen I think you better go outside

I'm not leaving Jamie and I'm staying

right here all right if that's the way

you wanted

you are all very quiet no doubt you are

resigned to the inevitable that is wise

professor I observed your encounter with

the electronic wall today does you learn

the power of Mars tomorrow it will be

the whole world drop your hands and why

should I put up my hands because if you

don't our shooter

[Music]

Get back on fire get back get back

shoot man shoot for demented humans to

imagine you can destroy me or your

old-fashioned toy what do you know force

forces we use it on Mars but you shall

know you and the rest to dwell on this

planet I can control power beyond your

wildest dreams

come come and you shall see

hey what do you think you're doing huh

hang on a minute kid you can't go down

there sure I can

i'm dinah tarpon maybe but not at night

kids like you shouldn't be around at

this time I will see the airplane did

you sit calm down come on

now look kid I'm in enough trouble

without looking after you

what's all the trouble Oh trouble are

you a Secret Service agent oh gee maybe

you're a killer no kid but you shouldn't

say things like that come on mister

auntie will Suz if she comes outside

let's get into the trees and look at the

airplane

that's something now earth men look

what's the power of another world

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

Gee boom two cows whatever

[Music]

Get up

gee just like the black spider dances

always having trouble with her you speak

in riddles what is your name

don't talk to him like that he's only a

kid leave him alone you should plead for

your own life and not for his he will be

safe with me who are you what's going on

where'd you come from

you ask a lot of questions I will deal

with you later

come we will return to the ship good you

aren't taking him anywhere

you speak unwisely just try taking him

you can't play any of your tricks with

me No

[Music]

[Music]

Come

I will show you wonders you have never

seen before

[Music]

I don't know where on awake or dreaming

my mind just won't accept if only we

could get in contact with someone I'd

give anything to see a squadron of heavy

bombers right now that wouldn't help at

all it's probably enough power out there

to repel any bombs before they explode

don't worry dear I suppose worse things

of half but not much worse if only we

could get inside that spaceship I wonder

have you any ideas professor I was

whatsit Jimmy no doubt you are having a

council of war it amuses me to watch

your puny efforts the wise man always

seeks to discover the truth even his

means of doing so I limited it would

take you a thousand years to learn a

fragment of what we have achieved

perhaps not if I had you for my teacher

what do you mean as a scientist I can

only believe the evidence of my own

senses so far the only thing I know

about you is that you can kill that is

also a human accomplishment you say your

spaceship is very powerful we also have

powerful machine none to equal heirs of.

Mars

indeed you say you believe the evidence

of your senses very well then you shall

see perhaps then you will realize your

helplessness come

[Music]

Now you shall see

but it's quite cool yet two hours ago it

was quite hot only the outside that was

caused by the friction as we entered the

atmosphere of the earth that over 6000

semantics the interior is insulated

against heat or cold but how did the

outside cooled so quickly you have no

wisdom the entire structure of the

nuclear ship is made of a new organic

metal therefore each molecular cell can

absorb its own amount of heat or cold it

could have absorbed all the heat in a

matter of seconds fill your eyes earth

men see such powers as you never dreamed

existed

now look again

the evidence of your own eyes professor

can you still see there is a love par

they are two drivers ship anywhere in

the universe enough power to obliterate

this speck of matter you call earth what

is the problem

something you scientists have not yet

dreamed up a form of nuclear fission on

a static negative condensity a negative.

ContentlD exactly your atomic bomb is

positive caused the explosion to expand

upwards and evaporate our forces

negative and exposed atomic forces into

each other

thereby an egg defying the power of

thousand fold and the fuel cell

propagating the excess reaction of each

tribe expands and it causes the same

motion to happen again and again this

what you call perpetual motion perpetual

motion

impossible you talk like a primitive

savage because your science has now

discovered these things does not mean

that impossible

even inventions as radio and television

you would have considered impossible a

hundred years ago

but enough now we shall return to the

others

you think it'll work

what happens if the professor comes

first

and we found I'm gonna stand by that

switch let me know who comes first right

they're coming

the professor is coming first oh sure

yes no no they've changed places you

fools do you think you can hurt me with

this even your limited intelligence will

convince you by now that you cannot harm

me.

Perhaps your scientists will help to

convince you now you must cease your

stupid tricks or I will destroy the

child child you haven't you can't have

the child is safe so far you have seen

some of my power perhaps this will help

to show the others you Darrell if you

harm that child

it can't be

you still got Mike's been left to see

the day how did you get him why don't

you know he was here he's not there the

poor lads in that Devils hasn't blame

yourself we're just simple folk up

against strange power can only mistrust

in the law but we must have sinned

something terrible no we've done enough

talking him.

[Music]

What is it like in there professor

they come out alive we come out at all

[Music]

[Music]

What is it.

[Music]

[Music]

You have taken the child so why did you

take it

he is a young creature his mind is free

from your stupid emotions and fears if I

take him he will make a willing subject

but a weak one

why not exchange him for someone who

would suit your purpose better exchange

him for whom for me for you release the

child and I'll follow you willingly it's

a fair bargain but I must go back

I can't leave Michael alone either.

Michael can achieve what he sets out to

do well he's personally helped from us

I'll never forgive myself

you can't blame yourself that devil what

did it take him there's nothing any of

us could do to stop us how would I ever

face my sister with a life of her son on

my conscience know why I'm going out

there and I'll fetch him back listen

there's someone outside

oh look I put my trousers on see that

was all right yes I land on the moon

with a nice man what nice man he was a

fanatic

go on son go on then we went across to

the bomb and we saw the big machine come

over they returned around the room and

then I met a lady in a black dranzer you

miss him

me you poor Landy it was fun then she

took me back to the aeroplane but she

didn't show me much

I waited for a long time never I sort of.

Foom

then she came and told me to come back G

weights outsell the flowers at school

tell me Tommy

did you see a tall dark man in there no

there's nobody there Jimmy

take him upstairs my dear and help me

put him to bed the Lord be praised his

safe back woman running like a.

Frightened Rabbit in the night what's

the matter.

Robert you're talking all funny we are

all the slaves of a great and powerful

civilization let us prepare for our

rulers have you daft Albert I thought

you'd gone away go there is not much

time mr. Carter I don't know

still if she let the child go Michael

where's element she's upstairs with a

b-boy but I think what happened okay

I've got a secret binder well I'm first

and I'll go what's the cut.

Oh mr. Carter its Albert sir Oh Albert

Albert Simpson he's upstairs but what

the chap was miles away no he didn't go

he came back he came back to me but

something's happened he's talking all

funny and he doesn't seem to know me.

Oh quick so I come upstairs stairs

[Music]

[Music]

Mr. Carter why did you have to mock him

out if I hadn't eaten up Mia what's

going on Miss convict mrs. Jamison II

was upstairs so he didn't get away

what's good Angie you get Doris what do

you know about him did you know he was

up there yes mr. Carter says he's a

murderer

what can a man like that be to you mrs.

Jamison really isn't any of our business

other things to think about Michael

professor what's it like in there well.

Ellen this spaceship must be destroyed

home professor what did you see in there

I saw the source of power a mayor

globule of energy but mighty enough to

take the ship here for Mars and back

again the source of power it's small

incredibly small probably a

- self-propagating atomic pile exactly in. - The center of the ship.

Perhaps one determined blow delivered

might release this power in the form of

a terrific explosion and blow delivered

by the right person given the right

opportunity but that will be suicide

certain death to whoever delivered the

blow one life in exchange for millions

yes professor what you're trying to say

to Michael what is it that I don't know

it should it is time earth man

I've gotta go now

why because he made a bargain he is

returning with me to Mars of his own

free will why do you weep because I love

him.

[Music]

I don't have a stick what is it she sing

what bargain is she made with him can't

you guess

miss Bestwick the bargain was over Tommy

the child

you made your bargain do not regret it I

am NOT regretting it it is better for

you and your people to know how helpless

they are the tricks they tried how

childish they where nothing can resist

this power.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

That was the last trick man maybe she's

changed

he tried to gain control of the robot

because of his trickery you will all die

do you hear earth man you brought death

upon all in this room in a few minutes

as you calculate time the nuclear ship

will have repaired itself when I leave

this house

and everyone in it will be destroyed

take me with you

another trick why should I take you

because when you get to London you will

need a guide a guide in spite of your

great knowledge many things there will

be strange to you why should I take you

since you've been here last I've been

thinking deeply it is only right that

Mars with a superior knowledge should

triumph over Earth Mars will triumph I

am a scientist take me with you let me

share in that triumph but Professor you

said that you would never mind what I

- said a moment ago I've changed my mind - why should I die I wanted to go with you.

On one condition

well that you spare the others I will

spare no one but in saying that I need a

guide you speak sense I will take one of

you the rest will die then you will take

me I do not know three times already

during this earth night you've tried to

trick me that will not happen again

no one will into the nuclear ship till

it is ready I will return soon

one of you would come with me the rest

who died kind of damn it I can't believe

that I was trying to save my own skin.

Thank You mr. Prestwick you had me

fooled you sounded sincere enough I am

sincere I am sincere my efforts to try

and get aboard that ship do you realize

that soon it'll be on its way to

paradise London and we what's to be done

whoever gets on board that ship must try

to destroy it who will do it there's

very little time left to decide that I

have one little job to do if we can't

save ourselves

perhaps we can save others I'm going to

write down what has happened you mean

someone may find it yes what little I

have learned may help the authorities

why there is yet time I go to my room

and try and write it down as simply as I

can

the atomic structure of the metal for

which the ship is constructed is

apparently organic molecules can

reproduce themselves the same principle

as a tree or vegetable and like any

living thing MIT must have a weak spot a

vital spot at which one can strike I'm

26 Michael and in all those years I

haven't done a single thing I really

wanted to do

and what would you do if you could start

all over again

spend more time in the country find the

right man children Michael

those things you said downstairs he must

have thought me an awful fool why don't

you say them I had a sense of loss.

I don't know how to say it but I felt

I'd found the right man at last and I

was going to lose him

did you did you really mean

oh I'd have made up no-good husband I'm

not particularly fond of the country -

for who my god you don't make me very

happy

I didn't think these years ago this

business of people meeting falling in

love you know that thing hadn't landed

out there we'd still have meant would

have been different to each other

privately you'd have thought you just a

self-opinionated newspaperman what about

me just a stupid girl from the big city

dazzling the natives will close she kept

for next to nothing I wouldn't have

known what the other was really like.

Michael know what's good on stairs and

join the natives what happened you all

right Albert I think so what what hit me

that woman she must have hypnotized you

and mr. Carter came upstairs and and you

had a fight these ropes go toward died

me up he did he thought you might I see

he thought I might be dangerous

I see you've recovered have you remember

what happened sort of nothing like a

good cup of tea in a crisis house Tommy

mrs. Jameson I've just been up to him

he's sleeping in my room tonight the

pool we saw sound asleep you must all be

prepared for her return now one of us

must be inside that spaceship before it

takes off if one of us is not inside it

we may all die seconds within it's

taking off or she made killers before it

leaves at all either way we all die or

one of us dies till that the others may

be saved as I've explained I'm the

logical choice no Jamie all right yeah

I'm useless old man you can't Jimmy I I

couldn't bear it this whole argument is

ridiculous there's only one logical

person to go me I made a bargain

remember Ricky Ellen I'm not really a

very nice person hasn't it ever occurred

you that I might have no tyria motive

for going selfish reasons

the person who goes on that spaceship is

under no compulsion to record he can go

to Mars and keep his life

you wouldn't wouldn't I well the best

thing to do is just wait and see isn't

it.

We're wasting time if we kind of decide

who was to go there's only one thing for

it.

That's drawn up right I'm taking mr.

Jamison now high schools yes professor

you first ten of Spades

yesterday Merson king of all wrong

you've got to work as fast as you can

listen when you get inside the spaceship

you will see the power crucible in a

kind of shaft then it's up to yourself I

understand that's for the rest of us

have you got a cellar

that's one below there's better room

well it might not afford much protection

but perhaps it's it's the best we have

in the circumstances I'll be right now

come on but Albert what about out but

never mind him we'll get him down the

minute come on Doris doors you must come

alright was personally in a moment how

come

what are we really going to die

perhaps tires perhaps beyond look I'm

scared nothing like this has happened to

me before

nothing like this has ever happened

before why to us well it it had to

happen sometime somewhere

there's no reason for believing that we

on earth are the only living people in

the universe I've been reading about it

there are thousands of stars and planets

up there we'll reach them someday

probably the moon first and then out

into space

well she what she really killers maybe

not

she said she probably didn't mean it

people have to have a reason but Kelly

I've got to forget that you had a reason

no one has the right to kill not even

she was bad as you'd never sent you away

I'm just realizing what a fool I've been

all my life

come on you must go or they'll miss you

when I just said so

you seeing

[Music]

So you are coming yes where are the

others they are hiding they are afraid

do you go with me of your own free will

of my own free will

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Dory's I've gotta get our gun

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Oh Albert did it

mr. Dardis no yes yes this is the Bonnie.

Charlie yes

they want to know if there's been

something the matter with it I know have

a drink.
