World Without End (1956)

Encode to Washington.

No signal from XRM since
last reported at 0118.

- No further contact from XRM.
- That means trouble?

- Not necessarily.
- They cut off in the
middle of a message.

- Could be radio trouble.
- What do people at White Sands say?

- No comment.
- Do you think they've crashed?

We don't think anything.
We just don't know.

- Excuse me.
- But, major...

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Jaffe. Would
you care to wait in my office?

- You'll be more comfortable there.
- No, thank you.

I'd better take the
children home.

I want Daddy to
come home with us.

He can't, Ginny.
He's very far away.

Yes, very far.

Will you call me, please,
if you hear any news?

Yes, of course I will. The
moment we hear anything.

Thank you.

Why would a guy with a wife
and a couple of kids...

...wanna go on a crazy
expedition like that?

Has man's first flight into
space ended in disaster?

Dr. Eldon Galbraithe and
his crew of adventurers...

...are unreported
for many hours...

...and grave fears are
felt for their safety.

Henry Jaffe, navigator
of the spaceship XRM...

...last reported that the ship
was approaching the planet Mars.

In the midst of a transmission
in which he described...

...the fabulous ice-capped poles of the
red planet, contact was suddenly lost.

All over the world, radio operators
are trying to reestablish contact.

Dr. Galbraithe, I still
can't get anything.

- Are you sure it's not the equipment?
- No, no, that's okay.

We lost contact when we
entered Mars' magnetic field.

Probably regain it
as soon as we leave.

If we don't get it soon, people
will be worried about us.

We'll head for home as soon as
we complete the orbit, Henry.

John, look at this.

Ten degrees right,
15 degrees depress.

If only we knew what
that green stuff is.

Perhaps it's a sort
of moss or lichen.

If it's grass or a
type of grass...

...there's no reason why
there can't be life on Mars.

So near and yet so far away.

- I wish we could land.
- So do I, John.

But our mission is
reconnaissance, exploration.

If we try to land
now and crash...

...all the information
we've gathered crashes with us.

We'll be back. And next
time, we will land.

Henry, lay out a return flight
plan for 0200 departure.

- Check.
- Herb.

Soon as your radio starts working again,
tell them we made two orbits of Mars.

Equator at 30,000 feet,
pole to pole at 20,000.

Complete photomapping
all the way.

Tell them we've completed all
assignments and we're coming home.

Right.

Here's your initial
heading, John.

Good. Prepare for
standard acceleration.

- Home and mother.
- We're heading for the barn.

What a reception we'll get.

My creditors will be
deliriously happy.

All rockets forward.

Rockets forward, check.

Cut off at 15 miles per second.

Cut off at 15 miles
per second, check.

- All set?
- Right.

Here we go.

Speed, 15 miles per second.

- Acceleration leveling off.
- Good.

You all right, doc?

Okay here.

There it goes, the planet Mars.

- Sliding into the distance.
- It'll be there when we come back.

I'll drink to that.
Who's for a slug of coffee?

Hull temperature going up.

Acceleration increasing.

We've lost flying attitude.

We're spinning!

Reverse rockets.

- Reverse rockets!
- I can't. I can't make it.

Our speed has reached
30 miles per second.

Hull temperature
above danger point.

Seventy-eight miles per second.

Hey. Hey, we've landed.

My head. I have a
terrible headache.

Oh, I've never been knocked
out like this before.

The acceleration must
have been fantastic.

- It was. Look here.
- What?

Over a hundred miles per second.

Over a hundred miles per second?

The indicator is knocked
completely off the scale.

What do you make of it, doc?

- Where are we?
- I don't know.

Mars was closest to us.

This could be one of
Mars' polar snowcaps.

We can be grateful that
we landed on snow.

It would have been a rougher
landing without it.

Will we be able to
take off again?

We won't know that until we get
outside and check for damage.

I'll break out the oxygen
helmets and pressure suits.

Wait a minute, we
may not need them.

It feels to me as though
we have plus-gravity.

Hank, will you turn off
the magnetic gravity?

Check.

You're right. It's normal now.

So is the atmospheric pressure.

There seems to be plenty
of oxygen out there.

- Well, this isn't Mars.
- No.

If it were Mars, the atmospheric
density would be one-tenth of normal.

Well, there's one
way to find out.

Wonderful.

Let's get some warm clothes
on, it's cold out there.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Hey, doc.

Doc, look at this.

A high background radiation count,
about 0.5 milliroentgens per hour.

About three times greater
than that of Earth.

Still not enough to
be dangerous, though.

Some damage to control surfaces.

Not bad, but we'll need
help to repair it.

Help?

How are we gonna get any help
on this godforsaken planet?

Doc, do you have any
idea where we are?

No, Hank, I'm afraid not.

At the speed we attained, we
could be almost anywhere.

For the moment, let's say we're
on a planet similar to Earth.

I suggest we do some exploring
down below the snow line.

Herb, while we're packing some gear,
suppose you try the radio again.

Mm-hm. Right you are, skipper.

- We're ready to shove off.
- Right you are, John.

You know, it's uncanny.

I've swept every radio band.
There's nothing.

It's as if radio waves
had never been created.

Yeah, that is strange.

You know, if this is Venus or
some other strange planet...

...we're liable to run into
high-domed characters...

...with green blood in their veins,
who'll blast us with death-ray guns.

And there we'll be with these.

These poor old-fashioned
shooting irons.

- Let's rest a bit.
- Uh...

I can use it.

Uh...

I can still see the ship up
there, above the snow line.

I'd say we've come
about 12 miles.

Twelve miles in
about four hours.

That's a dazzling speed
of three miles an hour.

How fast were we traveling
yesterday at this time?

Oh, we were only cruising,
38,000 miles an hour.

This is tougher, believe me.

See anything?

Forest, brush.

No sign of life anywhere.

- He's taking it hard, doc.
- Yes, I'm afraid you're right.

If Jaffe hadn't been the one
man, the man we had to have...

...I never would have taken
anybody with a wife and children.

Hey, John, doc.

Come here, will you?
I found something.

- Think we ought to explore it?
- By all means.

Nature keeps most of her
ancient secrets in caves.

Hey. Hey, doc, will
you look at that?

The creature that made this
must have been gigantic.

Look out.

Doc.

Come on, Hank.

I should have known the
moment I saw that web.

But spiders as big as dogs?

Poisonous, probably.

We should be grateful
none of us was stung.

Come on, let's get
out of here, huh?

There's a clearing
of some kind below.

Let's have a look.

Yes, I think you're right.

It's several miles away.

It'll be dark by the
time we get there.

Let's bed down here
for the night.

Jaffe, look out!

Doc, keep down. Let
me get a shot at him.

Hank. Hank, you all right?

- Yeah, I guess so.
- Come on, up.

Such inhuman strength. I
was as helpless as a baby.

- Were they men or animals?
- I don't know.

- God help us, this is Earth.
- How can it be?

I don't know.

Look.

What have we got ourselves into?

Am I insane? Are we all insane?

No, Hank.

I refused to face the
reality, but now I know.

What are you getting at, doc?

About a week before we took
off, I visited Dr. Ellender.

You're all familiar
with his theory.

- Of time as a fourth dimension.
- Yes.

It's an outgrowth of
Einstein's theory.

Ellender says in effect that
if you go fast enough...

...time slows down.

There's no doubt about this
dilation of time with speed.

It has actually been
proven experimentally.

Our instruments jammed at a
hundred miles per second.

- We may have gone 10 times that fast.
- Or a hundred times.

Man has unlocked the secrets
of nature one after the other.

We've pierced the sound
barrier with our jets.

We've unleashed the
power of the atom.

And now this.

I recall the newspaper lads had a
lot of fun with Ellender's phrase:

Breaking the time barrier.

Well, obviously,
we've gone and done it.

While we were blacked out for
what seemed like minutes to us...

...the slow centuries
were passing on Earth.

My wife and children grew old...

...and died.

Years ago.

Let's see what we can find out from
the dates on those other monuments.

The latest date I found was 2188.
Even that marker looked very old.

I found several 2188s.

Probably the year of
a great catastrophe.

Such as an atomic world war?

Yes, of course. The
high radiation count.

Let's say that 2188
was the fatal year.

The year in which mankind
destroyed itself...

...and poisoned the air and the soil
of the Earth with radioactivity.

In, say, 200 years...

...the radiation might die down to
the level at which we found it.

But those brutes who
attacked us last night...

Do you mean to say that's all
that's left of the human race?

I don't know. Undoubtedly,
they are mutates.

Descendants of civilized humans
who survived the atomic blasts...

...but whose reproductive cells
were damaged by radiation.

You mean that monster we
buried back at the camp...

...is the heir to 10,000
years of human progress?

Well, the spiders
were mutates too.

Who knows what other
monsters exist on Earth?

Who knows?

But perhaps some normal
humans do survive.

We've got to find out.

I think that answers the
question of where we are.

Take a look up there.

Those can only be the Rockies.

And this could be
Montana or Idaho.

Not so far north. Too arid.

More likely Colorado or
northern New Mexico.

But if this is Colorado or New Mexico,
where are the cities, the towns?

Denver, Albuquerque?

- What is it, John?
- Take a look up there.

That's not a brush fire.

It's too thin a column
of smoke for that.

Look, it's good military
procedure to send out a scout.

- Cover me.
- Now, wait a minute.

I'll be all right.

Just cover me, that's all.

Wonder why a fellow like
that isn't married.

He was.

Met a girl when he was a
young ensign at Pensacola.

Married her. They had a
couple of fine children.

He was stationed in
Japan after the war...

...and his wife and children
flew out to join him.

Their plane went
down in mid-Pacific.

No trace of it was ever found.

I'll take him, skipper.

Don't waste ammunition.
We haven't got much.

- They're getting behind us, doc.
- Come on, let's get out of here.

Hold up. We're cut off this way.

Up there, a tunnel or a cave.

Well, I guess they aren't
going to storm us after all.

I hope this tunnel
isn't occupied.

- All clear in there?
- All clear as far as I can see.

He's coming to.

- Everybody all right?
- Huh...

- Everybody but you.
- I'm okay.

No bones broken, I guess.

- You all right, John?
- Yeah, I'm all right.

They're still down there.

At least we're safe here
for the time being.

There's an optimist for you.

A pessimist would have said we were
trapped here for the time being.

Well, the pessimist might
have a point there.

It's a cinch they're not
just gonna go away.

Did you save the food?

Yes, and the water.
Enough for a few days.

- What about guns and ammunition?
- We couldn't recover your gun.

I'd say we have maybe 30,
40 rounds of ammunition.

Doc, John, come in here.

Hank?

Yeah, doc, I got it.

- Look at this.
- Stainless steel, apparently.

No, it's some new kind of metal.
Terrific hardness.

Doc, John.

Doc, the door! John.

I couldn't stop it, doc.
I couldn't stop it.

Take it easy, Hank.

There's an invitation,
boys, if ever I saw one.

A command performance.

They're not even giving us a
chance to say, "No, thanks."

Put your guns away.

Anyone who could box us in like
this could kill us just as easily.

Come on.

Receptionist stepped out
for a cup of coffee.

Hey, look at this.

It's a lens of some kind.
We're being spied upon.

Yes, there's probably a microphone
planted here somewhere.

Do not touch that.

- Can you hear us?
- Yes, I can hear you.

You speak our language.

- Why don't you greet us face-to-face?
- In good time.

You bear weapons?

- Yes.
- Put them on the table.

Go through that door.

You may leave your burdens.
They will be sent for.

You will wait here, please.

- Which of you is the leader?
- I am Dr. Galbraithe.

I am Timmek. It was
my voice you heard.

This is Mr. Ellis,
Mr. Borden, Mr. Jaffe.

Why did you come here?

We took refuge in your tunnel because
we were attacked by savages.

- Mutates, we took them to be.
- Mutates?

I do not know the word.

It is from the Latin, a
very ancient language.

- It means, "The changed ones."
- Changed ones indeed.

We call them the beasts.

Your manner of speaking, your
appearance, is strange to us.

Who are you?

We left Earth on an exploratory flight
into space on the 17th of March, 1957.

And in space, you encountered an
exponential time displacement.

Yes. You are familiar with
Dr. Ellender's theory?

His is one of the great names
of our scientific past.

The world was on the verge
of proving his theories...

...when the great blow fell.

You speak of a great blow.

In our travels, we have seen
nothing but desolation.

Where are the cities, the roads, the
bridges, the great works of man?

What happened to them?

Armageddon.

The slaughter of humanity.

An atomic war no one wanted...

...but which no one had
the wisdom to avoid.

And this is all that's left
of the human race?

Your people here and the beasts,
as you call them, above?

Yes, so far as we know.

They have the same
heritage as ours.

But the scourge of
radiation poisoning...

...distorting their minds and their
bodies, generation after generation...

...set them back to the
dark ages of man's history.

They speak a strange,
primitive tongue.

Such as the Stone Age man
must have invented...

...in the dim beginnings
of the human race.

If you are convinced of our
peaceful intentions...

...may we have our weapons back?

Why do you want weapons? Do you
think you will need them here?

- No.
- Then against whom would you use them?

Against no one here. We come
in peace, I assure you.

Then you'll need no weapons.

I suggest we take no
risks and keep them.

We hope you feel no
offense, Dr. Galbraithe...

...but Mories is right.

If you come in peace, you'll
have no need of weapons.

Should you leave, we will
discuss returning them.

Father, these men are our guests.
They must be tired and hungry.

Of course. You've had a
most difficult time.

Garnet will see to it that
you are made comfortable.

We are honored to
meet your daughter.

- Will you come with me?
- Excuse me.

We have guessed, from
what we have seen...

...that we are at least four
centuries from the world we knew.

It is more than five centuries.

By your ancient
timekeeping method...

...this is the year 2508 A.D.

- Delicious, simply delicious.
- All produced underground.

- Even these fruits and vegetables?
- Yes.

We have lamps that give the
exact equivalent of sunlight.

- Remarkable.
- It was the only way to survive.

Many people took refuge underground
during the great war...

...but starvation forced them to
eat food produced on the surface.

- And they were poisoned
by radioactivity?
- Yes.

But the radioactive
count is safe now.

Please don't get up. Where would
you like your belongings?

Oh, put them down anywhere.

Elaine, this is Dr. Galbraithe.

- How do you do?
- Hello.

- John Borden.
- How do you do?

- Henry Jaffe and Herbert Ellis.
- How do you do?

Elaine is Elda's assistant
in the scientific section.

Elda sends his greetings.

At your convenience...

...he would be pleased to show you
our power plants, our laboratories.

Anything else you wish to see.

Is she as beautiful as
the women in your world?

Hmm? Uh, oh...

Yes. Yes, indeed, she is.

Radioactivity is below
the danger level now.

Your people can return to the
surface if they want to.

It is hard to discard
centuries of tradition.

The beasts are there.
They've killed many of our people.

But you can defeat
them, they're savages.

In any fight, a civilized
man should win.

My people are sick of war. We
are safe here and comfortable.

But the surface of the
Earth was meant for man.

He wasn't meant to live
in a hole in the ground.

Oh, I'm sorry.
We're guests here.

A long, long way from home.

We have no right to
criticize your way of life.

You will rest.

When you see more of
our world here...

...perhaps you will agree
it is not such a bad one.

Something's been puzzling me.

- May I ask you a question?
- Of course.

That little servant girl.

She's very pretty...

...but she seems different than
the people we've seen here.

Deena comes from
the world outside.

But I thought all the people
on the surface were deformed.

- Beasts, as you call them.
- No, not all of them.

I have heard that the beast
kill the ones who are not
deformed or drive them away.

Deena wandered into
one of our tunnels...

...half-dead of starvation,
and we took her in.

I see.

Well, thank you very much.

I hope you rest well.

My word.

Do you think all the women here are
as beautiful as the ones we've met?

I don't know. We'll
find out tomorrow.

Well, I'm gonna get some sleep.

- It's been a fairly busy day.
- Fairly busy.

Well...

Home was never like this.

John, these people seem to have
a high order of intelligence.

That's right.

Did you notice how they grasped the
significance of what happened?

They seemed to know Ellender's time
displacement theory.

- Yes, they did.
- Well, isn't it reasonable to think...

...they may have discovered a way
to reverse the time displacement?

No, Hank, it's not. I get the impression
that their science is turned inward.

Concerned only with their
immediate comfort and safety.

That nothing abstract or
experimental interests them.

But assuming they did have the knowledge
to reverse the time displacement...

...you still have the problem
of repairing the ship and
getting it ready to take off.

With their help, that ought
not to be difficult.

Hank, I know you're eating your heart
out to get back to your wife and kids.

But it's no good trying to
find hope where none exists.

Face the fact that these
people probably won't help us.

Why not? They're
friendly enough.

They've got the skill to
help us and the materials.

You'll find they're short of
one important ingredient.

- What's that?
- Guts.

The courage to get out of
their holes and fight.

- Good morning, gentlemen.
- Good morning.

Dr. Galbraithe, the
president of the council...

...would like to see you at
your earliest convenience.

Very well, I'll be there directly.
These are very comfortable quarters.

Thank you.

There's a cold fish
if I ever saw one.

Hank.

No use antagonizing anyone.
She might repeat what we say.

Ah. How do you like that crazy shower?
You step in, nothing to turn on.

The water sprays out automatically
in just the right temperature.

- What's this you're doing?
- Well, we have a plan.

- That is...
- Good morning, did you sleep well?

Yes, thank you.

My, you are so much more
muscular than our men.

Uh... The results of
a misspent youth.

Got chucked out of school,
had to go to work.

Strong back, weak
mind, you know.

I like it.

I just wanted to remind
you to visit us.

Just ask for the Scientific
Section. Anyone will direct you.

Well, the female of the
species hasn't changed much.

Still goes for a good
pair of shoulders.

If women vote here, Body Beautiful
can campaign without his shirt...

...and get himself elected
president. - Aw, now, cut it out.

How do you figure these people?

Why are the women so vital, so full
of life, and the men so different?

I'm having a talk with the head man. If
I find out anything, I'll let you know.

John, all the men we've seen
look as if they didn't have a
pint of blood between them.

What? What?

Oh, she can't
understand English.

Can you, honey?

Pretty little thing, isn't she?

Lovely eyes, nice figure.

Oh, but look now, isn't that
too bad? She's got bow legs.

I have not.

Well, I'm a low-down
cad, but I found out.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Have you been well taken care of?
- Yes, very well, thank you.

We will have much to talk about.

It's a wonderful thing, our
being able to bridge the gap...

...between the centuries.

We will study the
old books together.

Books that are ancient to us, but
which were the life of your time.

May I speak of one thing,
please, before we begin?

Our ship is only slightly damaged,
but we need help to repair it.

Repair it?

You think you can reverse the time
displacement that brought you here?

No, no, that is beyond
us, I'm afraid.

It was a one-in-a-million encounter
in space that brought us here.

We're not foolish enough to
expect another such miracle.

It occurred to me...

...that we might use the
ship to explore the Earth.

To see if other communities
like yours exist.

Why?

Because I'm a man of science.

Because I have an
obligation to humanity...

...to you, to other
humans, if any survive.

It is a dangerous
journey to your ship.

The beasts would have killed you
if we had not taken you in.

But we were few, and we
were not well-armed.

There are many of you and you have the
ability to make powerful weapons.

We are a peaceful people.

We are sick of weapons and war.

If enough of your men go with us,
the mutates won't dare to attack.

I will have to
consult the council.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Where are your friends?

They've gone to see the sights.

Why aren't you with them?

To tell you the truth, I was
hoping you'd show them to me.

To tell you the truth,
I was hoping I could.

Our power and light are derived
from the heat of the Earth's core.

But we get almost everything
else we need from nature's
treasure chest, petroleum.

It is our basic raw material.

How about metals?

In the past, we had to send
expeditions to the surface...

...to salvage metals
from the ruins.

Our men underwent
great hardships.

They were attacked by the
mutates, as you call them...

...and suffered from
extremes of cold and heat.

Now, in a community that is
growing smaller, we have enough.

We use our metals
over and over again.

Did you say your community
was growing smaller?

An unfortunate choice
of words on my part.

I should have said our community
is becoming more compact.

Shall we go on?

Hello, Henry. Enjoying the tour?

It's all very interesting, John.

We're going to visit the machine
shops. Would you care to join us?

No, thank you, we'll
see them later.

Excuse us. This way, please.

See you later, Hank.

Your friend has an
air of sadness.

- Well, he left a wife
and children behind.
- Oh.

Why did he go on the flight?

Well, he had a sense of duty.

He's an exceptionally
fine navigator.

As matter of fact, he's a
mathematical genius.

He knew he couldn't be replaced.

You didn't leave anyone behind?

No.

I had someone once.

I'm sorry.

Would you get in touch
with the message center?

I believe they have
several calls for you.

Dr. Galbraithe is viewing
the historical records...

...of the years just
after your flight.

You may see them, if you wish.

Thank you.

You know, I think our
friend's a little jealous.

Yes, he is.

You see, he takes it
for granted that...

That you belong to him.

Do you?

Oh, no.

Well, I mean, I don't know.

Mories is very able.
He's a good administrator.

He'll probably succeed father
as president of the council.

I see.

Aren't you going to look
at the historical records?

No.

Aren't you gonna call
the message center?

No.

Oh, honey, I didn't mean it.
They're beautiful, I swear it.

- Dinner, boss?
- No, I ate with Timmek and the council.

Any luck? Will they
help us with the ship?

I don't know yet.
Where's Borden?

Cleaning up.

- I think he has a date tonight.
- Oh.

You know, the people
here are wonderful.

All except that young
troublemaker, Mories.

He seems to be playing on
their fears all the time.

They're scared of going
out on the surface.

I called the turn on
that one, didn't I?

Underground life seems to have drained
all the courage out of these people.

They keep telling me we'll be safe
and comfortable if we stay here.

Safe and comfortable, that seems
to be all that life means to them.

I'm not so sure it isn't a tendency
that existed even in our time.

Hardy, self-reliant, rugged.

Here we are a hundred years later, not
so hardy nor self-reliant nor rugged.

And here they are,
500 years later.

No strength, no
guts, no nothing.

I say that man was not meant to
live in a hole in the ground.

Well, I've got to go.

Uh-huh. Don't tell me you've got
a date to see the power plant.

No, but I thought I might be able
to line up a way out of here.

Garnet's promised to show
me an old tunnel that'll take
us out to the hillside.

Fine night for it. Full
moon, if I remember.

- Lay off, Herb.
- It's all right, Hank.

I don't mind. I'll
see you later.

Well, it's nice to see the
old boy feeling so chipper.

The women are
wonderful, aren't they?

So much more vital than the men.

You know, I'm a widower
and a grandfather...

...and I'll never see 50 again.

But this afternoon, I had the unique
experience of being flattered...

...sought after and catered to
by several beautiful women...

...who competed
for my attention.

Gentlemen, I can only describe
the experience as being...

...well, exhilarating.
- Ha, ha, ha.

The moon, it's so beautiful.

Have you never seen
the moon before?

No, not like this.

Never out in the open before.

I'm afraid the books are wrong.

What books?

Romances that tell
about your time.

The men were always strong
and fierce and reckless.

Whenever they were alone
in the moonlight with a girl,
they made love to her.

What kind of books have
you been reading, anyway?

You like me, I know you do.

I think you're beautiful.
More beautiful than...

I like you very much.

- I love you.
- No, don't say that.

I'm a stranger, an outsider
here, and I must leave someday.

No, no. You'll
stay here with me.

You're like the great
men we read about.

Strong, brave, unselfish.

You're pacing like a
caged tiger, old boy.

Got problems?

After last night, I
think we've all...

Now, honey, don't
look at me like that.

Wait a minute, Deena.
We want to help you.

We want to help your
people if we can.

All your people are
not beasts, are they?

You're pretty, Deena.

You are, Deena, I swear it.

- But he said that my legs were...
- Aw...

Forgive me, honey. So help
me, I didn't mean it.

I've been told that the beasts
hate children that are not ugly.

That they kill them,
drive them away.

- Is that true?
- Yes.

I was very young, but
my mother told me...

- Well, did you talk
to the council again?
- Yes.

They won't cooperate.

They refused to equip a party...

...to help salvage the supplies
and instruments from the ship.

We're trying to help them and
they just won't be helped.

We'll have to take one thing at a
time. Forget the ship for now.

The first thing to do is to
get to surface. Fight our
way out and establish a base.

Right, get a foothold and
turn it over to these people.

Show them how to live on
the face of the Earth.

I'm not so sure they'll go up, even if
we make it perfectly safe for them.

I think they may, because if they
don't, their race is doomed.

Hasn't it struck you as odd that
we haven't seen any children?

Sixteen and 17-year-olds,
yes, but no children.

I did some snooping around yesterday,
and not just the guided tour.

I found a sort of combination
nursery-hospital.

There were 14 kids in it. Fourteen
kids in a population of 2000.

And they weren't
strong healthy kids.

They were poor, bloodless
little things.

I would say one
more generation...

...and this branch of Homo
sapiens will be extinct.

The world's a big place. There may
be other pockets of survival.

Australia, Greenland, who knows?

But if this is the human race,
the human race dies too.

Yes.

Yes, we need these people.

We have to save them in
spite of themselves.

All right, we'll go to the council,
ask for weapons, nothing more.

I've seen the shops,
they can build anything.

We'll go it alone.

There's one obstacle. Mories.

Time after time, it looked as though
we might talk them into something.

But he always jumped in and
turned the council the other way.

Well, that's my
fault, I'm afraid.

He's insanely jealous. He
wants Garnet, and she...

Well, go ahead, old man, say it.

She wants you.

Garnet's a wonderful girl, John.

Why shouldn't she prefer you?
You're three times the man he is.

Oh, let's not worry
about Mories.

We can do business with
Timmek if we catch him alone.

And they will say they are doing it
for us, for the future of our people.

But among themselves,
they have conspired to get
weapons by deceit and cajolery...

...to enslave us, to throw our
lives away in a war of conquest.

How can they repay our
kindness with such treachery?

We see in them all the ills
of the 20th-century man.

Greed, aggressiveness,
brutality.

The passion to dominate that
made a shambles of the Earth.

I am stunned.

Are you sure?

Nihka and Jule listened with me.

Garnet assures me they
are kindly, unselfish.

Our women seem to have lagged behind in
their evolution into reasonable creatures.

They actually admire these
reckless and brutal men.

We shall see.

If they try their deceit and cajolery on
me, I will know how to deal with them.

You must see to it that they
do not recover their firearms.

I make you personally
responsible for them.

Deena, try to remember, what
else did your mother tell you?

She said that the beasts did not
drive all the children away.

There were so many of them.

- Normal children you mean?
- Yes.

They needed them to work.

They were very cruel to them, but
they did not drive them away.

- I see.
- John?

John.

Johnny, town meeting. We're gonna get
a chance to sell our bill of goods.

Coming, Herb.

I love him.

Herb?

Oh, now, listen, Deena...

Hi, honey. You ready, Johnny?
They're waiting for us.

Sure.

All we ask are weapons, food and
water, and building materials.

Your workmen can make
the weapons for us.

With them, we will repel any attacks and
establish a safe base of operations.

With the material, we'll build
a change of blockhouses...

...linking them with electric
fences such as you use to
protect your ventilator intakes.

We will gradually encircle an
area of land in the valley below.

Fighting no more than is necessary
to keep from being interfered with.

We propose to do this ourselves.

If your men care to join us,
we will welcome their help...

...but we do not ask for it.

When a suitable area
has been secured...

...you will have the option of
living there or not as you wish.

But we are safe here.

Why should we subject ourselves
to the heat, the cold...

...the discomforts
of the surface?

Because if you remain here, burrowing
in the ground like moles...

...your children will die.

How many children
do you have here?

In each generation, fewer are
born. And of those, fewer live.

Your children need the sun.
Do you condemn them to death?

Do you condemn your
people to extinction?

We are well aware
of the problem.

Our scientists have a
solution within their grasp.

These people seize
upon it as a pretext.

They lie when they say
they want to help us.

They want to enslave us...

...to use us for fighting their
senseless wars of conquest.

- But they say...
- They say they want the weapons.

And with the weapons, they will be the
masters and we will be the slaves.

That's not true.

I'm sorry, but Mories is right.

We must solve our own problems.

Weapons have been the
curse of mankind.

We have never made weapons here,
and we will make none now.

Father, Mories is wrong. Those
men are kind and sincere.

This bickering, this
conflict, is new to me.

I don't know.

You must face it, Father.

We are a dying people and
they want to help us.

But Mories heard them plotting.

Mories is jealous.
It's poisoned his mind.

Perhaps he misinterpreted
what he heard.

Father, I love John Borden.

Could I be wrong about him?

I don't know.

With your permission.

Yes, James, thank you.

- Garnet is with Timmek?
- Yes.

What is she telling him?

She believes Dr. Galbraithe
and his men are sincere.

I suppose Timmek is wavering.

He is considering her arguments.

These are violent men, James.

You and I know that.

They will try to
get their weapons.

- They must not get them.
- I know, Mories.

I have them safely hidden in
my own sleeping quarters.

Who is that? Get
away from there.

Why can't they see
that Mories is lying?

It sticks out like a sore thumb.

Garnet will speak to her father.

Timmek, Timmek, Timmek.

James is dead.

Killed by a blow on the head.

No. No!

The weapons. The
accursed weapons.

Good afternoon, sir.

Search.

Can I help you? What
are you looking for?

I don't understand.

What is this?

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

The others are coming.

John.

Don't...

Get off me.

Let go of me. What
do you mean by this?

Let go of me.

The other one. Jaffe!

What does this mean?

We found these here.

I'm sorry, but surely
there's no great harm done.

No harm? Is that all a
human life means to you?

A human life?

The man who took the
weapons killed James.

No, that's impossible.

What is all this blasted nonsense?
Are they playing games or something?

No games, Herb. They
found the guns here.

What? The guns?

Someone killed
James to get them.

Killed James?

Oh, now, doc, I had
nothing to do with it.

Violence, lies, murder.
They all go together.

I am an old man.

I wish I had died before I
saw a day such as this.

Bring them to the
council chamber.

We have decided what
is to be one with you.

Decided? Without a trial?

Without giving us a chance
to defend ourselves?

What defense can there be?

You wanted the weapons
and you took them.

The facts speak for themselves.

This is our decision.

You will be put out of our tunnel
exactly as you entered it.

You will be given
food and water.

Your weapons will
be returned to you.

You will have neither more nor
less than you had when you came.

That's the equivalent
of a death sentence.

We will try to shut you out of our
minds as if you had never been here.

You will be sent out two
hours after the sun sets.

That is all.

Garnet, we had nothing
to do with it.

I must see Timmek.

I'm sorry, he is not to be disturbed.
This has been an ordeal to him.

He must see me. I know
who hid the weapons.

The weapons? I will tell him.

Will you wait here?

Mories did it.

I saw him hide the weapons.

Find him.

See that she is taken care of.

We mourn for Mories,
who was our friend...

...but whose fatal weakness of character
led to hatred, treachery, death.

But we must be thankful that a
terrible injustice was avoided.

We all join in asking forgiveness
of these brave men...

...who are willing to risk
their lives to help us.

Now we, in turn, must help then.

I direct our artisans and
craftsmen in particular...

...to give Dr. Galbraithe and his
men their complete cooperation.

Hello, Deena, how do you feel?

Fine, thank you.

You all right, darling?

Another day or so and you'll
be good as new, Deena.

Hi, Deena, how are you?

Fine.

Counted your fingers lately?

I had a hunch about that,
so I fired it from a vice.

Powder too strong
or barrel too weak?

A little of each, I guess. It's not
easy for lads who never made a gun...

...to come up with a good one.
- That's quite evident.

How's the recruiting, doc?

Timmek thinks he's persuaded about
20 of his young men to join us.

What does it matter whether
you have 20 or a hundred?

They will fail you just
as that weapon did.

They'll not stand fast
when danger threatens.

Not one of them has
ever fought before.

Then we'll go it alone.

But you'll be killed.

The beasts watch our
tunnels day and night.

You may kill 20, 50 of them,
but there are hundreds.

Can you kill them all?

No. You don't need to.

We don't need to, Deena?

Only the ugly ones fight.
They are the masters.

The mutates would be the only
ones we'd have to contend with.

And they may not be as
numerous as we think.

Well, even they might
be too much for us.

How do we fight several hundred
savages with pistols that burst?

With ammunition that misfires?

If only we had something more
powerful than pistols to fight with.

Against those monsters, a battery of
field artillery wouldn't be too...

Hey, wait a minute.

I think I've got it.

What's the simplest, hardest-hitting
piece of artillery you know of?

A hunk of pipe with the
wallop of a field gun.

Of course, a rocket launcher.

The good old bazooka.

Henry, I think you've hit it.

We'd have to give up the firearms,
but I think it's worth it.

I certainly agree.
Hank, it's your baby.

- Get started on it, will you?
- Right, doc.

[INAUDIBILE DIALOGUE]

- Are things about ready?
- About as ready as they'll ever be.

Good. We just had another
talk with Deena.

It seems that the mutates'
selection of a leader is straight
from the Stone Ages.

The brute who kills all his
rivals becomes leader.

And he holds the office
until someone kills him.

For a long time now, the leader has
been a charming fellow called Naga...

...who seems to have all the sweetness
and lovability of a mad dog.

If we could get him, it
would simplify everything.

Well, maybe we'll get lucky.

Maybe we will.

Well, we'll find
that out tomorrow.

I regret we are unable to give
you more active assistance.

Your workmen have given us
the assistance we need.

Good luck. I wish I
could go with you.

Whatever happens, our thanks.

Open the door.

That passage there.

It's got ambush
written all over it.

Let's find out.

Right you are, my boy. See if this
little old gadget works, huh?

I guess that did it.

Look out.

Ammunition, Hank.

Watch it, John.

[SPEAKING IN MUTATE LANGUAGE]

- He's not a mutate.
- Eh.

Deena said they wouldn't fight.

Reinforcements coming.

- Hank.
- Yes, sir.

Good shot, Herb.

Suppose you take our prisoner
back, have Deena question him.

Find out what they're
likely to do.

Then load up with ammo
and come on back.

All right.

- Mm-hmm.
- Come on, handsome.

Come on.

Go.

They seem to be gathering
in that thicket down there.

Wanna try a long shot?

Check, skipper.

Okay, John.

Hit the jackpot, skipper.

Here they come.

Deena.

What did you wanna go
and bring Deena for?

Bring her? She popped out
before anybody could stop her.

She brought me.

Well, what about the prisoner?
Did you get his story?

We got his story all right.

He thinks Naga is going to order
the people back to the caves.

- That's not good.
- What about Deena?

- Don't you think we ought
to send her back?
- No.

I can help.

You probably can. If they
are holed up in caves...

...we'll have a lot of palavering
to do. We can use her.

All clear down there?

All clear. After
that last shot...

...they took the hint and
kept going. - Come on.

Well, are they in there or not?

Look.

This boy probably tried
to make a break for it.

Oh, he's just a kid.

Murdering swine.

Question is, where are
the rest of the people?

Herded into a couple of
the big caves, probably.

Well, there's one
way to find out.

Wait a minute, Hank.

Good military procedure to send out
a scout. You said so yourself.

- Cover me.
- Now, Hank.

- This isn't your kind
of racket. I'll go.
- No.

- I'm grabbing the check on this one.
- Hank.

Let him go, John.

Well, it's pretty bad,
but it could be worse.

A little lower and it might
have punctured a lung.

[NAGA SHOUTING IN
MUTATE LANGUAGE]

Naga says he has killed
many of my people.
He says he will kill all of them.

That settles it. We've got
to get them out.

But how? If we blast them out,
we'll kill every man, woman
and child in the cave.

Deena, tell Naga he's a
coward, a killer of children.

- Tell him to come out and fight me.
- No.

Wait a minute. Are you
out of your mind?

Go tell him, Deena.

Naga. Naga.

[SPEAKING IN MUTATE LANGUAGE]

[NAGA SPEAKING IN
MUTATE LANGUAGE]

Naga says you do not
fight like a man.

He says you use thunder and
lightning on your side.

Tell Naga I'll leave my lightning
and thunder behind me.

Tell him I'll fight him
with this and this.

Naga.

[SPEAKING IN MUTATE LANGUAGE]

[NAGA SPEAKING IN
MUTATE LANGUAGE]

- He says he will fight you.
- You haven't a chance...

...against those animals.
- Yes I have, Herb.

I'm supposed to be a civilized man. I'm
supposed to have an advantage up here.

You have no advantage. This
is nothing but a matter...

...of strength and reflexes.
The savage has the advantage.

I'll plug him as soon as
he shows his ugly face.

Don't do it, Hank. They'd kill
every human in the cave.

Well, he's got only one eye.
No depth perception.

Take it easy, Hank.

Keep on his blind side, John.

Tell them I'm the chief now.
Tell them to go.

[SPEAKING MUTATE LANGUAGE]

Chief is dead. Long
live the chief.

You see, the water lines
must go in first.

Then there will be no delay
in other operations.

Yes, it's quite clear.
Thank you.

Sir.

I would hardly have
dared hope for this.

You have accomplished so
much in a few short months.

Everywhere I look,
I see new marvels.

I am.

You are. He, she or it is.

We are.

You are.

They are.

That's good. That's very good.

Now, let's try the verb to go.
Ready?

I go.

You go.

He, she or it goes.

There is one of your marvels.

The children of the
men we once hated...

...learning our language so
that they may work with us.

Marvel in more ways than one.

Jaffe will never forget
the loss of his family.

But so long as he has children who
need him, he won't be too unhappy.

A few months ago, some of those children
were listless, puny little things.

Which are the puny ones now?

What we're looking at may well be
the rebirth of the human race.
