Paul.

What is he doing? He doesn't know
anything about a computer.

Kano, stop him.

Ted, come away from there.

Commander koenig!

Ted!

Sandra, get security.

Security to main mission.
Security to main mission!

Ted.

Ted!

Help... me.

(Helena) John.

- — You all right?
- Yes.

Paul, check out all systems.

This is main mission,
all sections report.

Switch on the big screen,
see if we can pick up anything.

You're losing picture.
— picture gone.

Scanner shows that
the object is not moving.

I do not understand. Look at that
monitor, it is getting closer to us.

Sandra, are you sure that...

We're locked in its orbit.

Transmission coming in.

(Alien voice) 'Earthmen.

'Do not resist.

'You are the captives
of the planet triton.'

Commander, powerfailures
in sectors g6, 8 and 11.

All transportation out.

- What about the main power unit?
- I can't get through to Anderson,

all nuclear generators
and reactors are ok,

but running on minimal capacity.

Report from reconnaissance.

All but four of our eagles
are damaged.

We're defenceless.

Kano?

Computer unable to make any
calculations. Insufficient data.

- Try every possible variable.
- Yes, sir.

Why did they not destroy us?

Paul, try to make contact with them.

Use sound, light, radio wave
patterns. The entire frequency scale.

Tell the professor to meet me.

Helena, find out
what killed Ted Clifford.

That may not be possible.
— make it possible!

I want to know what we're up against.

- What do you know about triton?
- — nothing.

Their warning was transmitted
over every monitor on the base.

I've been to central computer,
it has no record of any such planet.

I haven't checked my own charts yet.

If only we could speak to them.

Paul, any contact?
— no response, sir.

They must be receiving.

Ted Clifford wasn't transmitting
classified information for nothing.

If they won't talk to us,
we'll just have to pay them a visit.

I don't think it'll be a surprise.

I've got a nasty feeling
we're being watched.

We've actually seen it.

At the base of the brain
in the cerebellum.

A ball of orange light.
Very weak. Pulsating.

Then it died out.
There was little brain tissue left.

Most of it had... melted.

Melted?

The analysis shows that the cerebrum,
which regulates speech, hearing

and importantly, vision, had expanded
to three times its normal size.

The neuronal system, which transmits
information through the nerves,

was functioning
at 1,000 times its normal speed.

Together they somehow enabled
Ted Clifford to see and act

as though he were a computer.

Alan, I want a thorough survey.
Two-zero altitude.

See if a landing's possible.

Get closer if you can, but under no
circumstances are you to touch down.

These tritonians might not appreciate
our looking them over.

We shouldn't wait for them
to make the next move.

We're taking a look.
That's the next move.

It's the wrong one, commander.
They've already killed Ted Clifford.

Those are your orders, Carter.
Is that clear?

Yeah. Perfectly clear, commander.

Eagle 3, ready to lift off.

- — Eagle 3 to Alpha.
- 'Koenig here.'

all systems a-ok.

Range 1-0-5 and closing.

I can see a...

A kind of a surface.
No sign of activity.

'Range 8—5, closing.'

Commander, there's a beam of light
being projected from the sphere.

Confirmed.

Commander,
I'm going for a 90-degree turn.

It's no go, commander.
I can't get away from the light.

- — What's the range?
- 3-5.

- (Distorted speech on radio)
- I can't hear you, commander.

Range, 2-0 and holding.

- Switch to automatic, Alan!
- The glare is increasing.

- It's a force field, divert.
- Visibility zero.

Carter! Answer me.

It's no use.

They're on a collision course.

They're on manual.
I can't bring them in.

Should land close by,
about 700 metres.

Rescue and medical units stand by.

- There's no way to get to him.
- We'll walk.

They're down.

- 'Commander, this is morrow.'
— 'yes, Paul.'

'I've got their exact location.
North east, 600 metres.'

'Mathias?'

Donovan is dead, commander.
Carter's still alive.

Paul, malfunction in scanner systems.

They have all gone dead.

It's no accident, Paul.

An attack?

Commander. — yes, Paul?

'They've jammed the scanners,
they're up to something.

'You better get back here.'

we're more than halfway there.

We'll go on, I don't want to risk
getting caught in the open.

All right, let's go.

(Helena) John.

Take cover!

(Koenig) Helena, stop! Helena!

(Explosion)

(Alien voice)
'Do not be afraid, dr Russell.

'Enter.'

- Helena!
- — It's all right, John.

Easy, commander. You'll be ok.

John, en"

they've taken Helena.

- — Do we have power?
- Yes, all systems are working.

We've got to get through
their force field.

Without knowing their energy source?

What if we...

Modify one of our eagles?

Double the power
of our anti-gravity shields.

- Triple it, whatever it takes.
- Might work, but no guarantees.

- Work on it, Victor.
- All right.

- — What about Carter?
- He'll make it.

Good.

- — And copilot Donovan?
- Dead.

They planned it, John.

They just wanted to get
Helena out there alone.

No.

I don't think so.

Why take Clifford?
There's no connection.

Maybe dr Russell is a hostage.

For what reason?

The way they killed Clifford,
the shock wave.

Locking us in orbit.

No, whatever they want
from us in return...

They could simply...
Just come and get it.

Who are you?

'We are of the planet triton.'

I am from the planet earth.

'We know.'

then you know we mean you no harm.
We need your help.

'No, dr Russell.

'It is you who shall help us.

'We are the eyes
of the planet triton.

'Everything that is...

'Has been

'and will be

'is recorded by us.

'For this purpose,

'you are to be our servant.'

Alan.

How do you feel?
— oh, fantastic(!)

What about your instruments?

- Did they indicate anything?
- — no, not a thing.

There was the light.

Just kept getting brighter.

- It's crazy, a force field of light.
- That's exactly what it was.

- Lucky for me morrow brought us in.
- Morrow?

You'd switched on to manual.

He didn't land your ship for you,
you were at the controls.

Me? No, I was in never-never land.

Get some rest. — commander?

Where's Donovan?

The anti-gravity screen
will neutralise the force field.

It'll make a sort of tunnel,
or corridor,

that will allow you
to pass through and land.

John?

I heard you.

But when we hit that light barrier
anything can happen.

All set, parks?

- I assigned parks to this mission.
- Yeah. But we changed places.

Besides, I know the way.

Have they gone?
— just lifting off.

Turn on anti-gravity shields,
50% power.

Range 1—0-0.

Stay on manual.

Very good, sir.

- — Scanner reading?
- 'You're clear, commander.'

(whooshing)

- Anti-gravity shield full power.
- — 'It's too soon, John.'

(Beeping)

Velocity 7.5.

Range 5—0.

Range... 3-5.

Velocity 8.3

velocity... 8.5

v... 8.7.

V... 9.1

Victor, it's working.

We're getting through.

They've reversed the force field.

Carter, cut the engine.

Cut the engines!

Got to switch it... to automatic.

Carter, cut the engines!

Alan!

(Engines fade)

- — Sandra, anything?
- No visual or audio contact.

- How long now?
- A minute five.

They are coming back!

- Any audio? — no, sir.

Commander koenig?

- Do you have them on automatic?
- Yes.

- — Can you get them down?
- I'm switching to remote control.

Eagle 1 under main mission control.

Eagle 1 touch down.

- — (Beeping)
- Paul! Quick!

The scanner is picking up
another object.

- What is it?
- No idea.

I feel fine, Bob. Really, I do.

I'm sure you do.

Why do doctors
make the worst patients?

Probably because we know too much.

Blood pressure's normal, 8 over 120.

Bone marrow count, sugar...
Everything checks out.

You all right? — I just...

Felt faint for a moment,
my equilibrium's off.

- Did you check my middle ear?
- — yes, it's perfect.

Wait a minute.

How many do you see?

Two.

I should see four.

Did you check my optic nerve?

Bob, tell me.

Well, I can't explain it.

But from all indications...
You're blind.

- Well, obviously she's not blind.
- — obviously.

Do you have any explanation?

Only one. Ted Clifford.

Ah! Another interesting account

in the pyramid texts
of the old kingdom.

But here, they're called
the eyes of heaven.

Seems our friends get about a bit.

I talked to them.
I told them... we meant them no harm,

and that we needed their help.

- — You saw them?
- I only spoke to them. To a voice.

We know one thing about them.
They can decompose atoms.

Reduce an object to its
atomical components, pure energy,

transport it through space
and reassemble it in another place.

That's how they got you
from here to there.

We've been working on that for years.

With machines. They do it with light.

Yes, but what sort of light...
And how?

When I was in the sphere,
I wasn't wearing my spacesuit.

Oxygen.

The tritonians might just
be humanoid.

John.

They've activated her.
She must be going to computer.

Notify Paul. No one's to stop her.

Paul, bergman here.

(Beeping)

(Pa) 'This is main mission control
to all sections.

'Attention all personnel.
Do not approach dr Russell.

'Repeat, do not approach dr Russell.'

Don't touch her, nobody touch her.

What's the computer transmitting?

Memory cell 371. The breakdown
of our life—support systems.

- — Can't you stop it?
- Only if we stop her.

The computer's not transmitting,
Helena is.

Now as it is, she has 132 hours.

That's five and a half days.

That gives us some time.

They exhaust the memory cells,
what then?

They won't need any of us.

They don't need any of us now.

Then why don't they come
and get it over with?

Perhaps they can't leave
their sphere.

That's it.
Something's preventing them.

They're limited in some way.
A weakness.

Everything they've done has only
shown their advanced intelligence.

No one's actually seen them,
not even Helena.

We've been thinking
of them as people.

What if they're not?

Simply an intelligence
with no physical form?

- They're just as trapped as we are.
- No.

More so.

We can move, we can get to them.

We can't blast through
their force field.

Maybe we can bend it a little.

There it is, commander.
That ball of light.

Just like Ted Clifford.
Except it's stronger, more alive.

The same with her cerebrum
and her optic nerve.

Once dr Russell is activated
this ball of light

enables her to see, well,
like a high-speed camera.

They needed her there to implant it.
That's why it didn't work on Clifford.

It's their link.

Through Helena,
they're connected to our computer.

A human conductor.

Commander, she can't take much more.

What do they want from us really?

Information,
our knowledge, that's all.

They're a sort of...
Reconnaissance team.

Sent out into space
to gather information

and transmit it back to triton.

That's all. We did it ourselves
with our deep space probe ships.

Then triton does exist?

No, did exist.

The position of
this mythological planet...

Does correspond to our...
Galaxy charts.

I've checked it myself a dozen times,
even through a computer.

But triton is dead, John.
Blew up, disintegrated.

It's possible whoever
programmed Helena and killed Ted,

doesn't know their planet
no longer exists.

If I convince them their mission
is obsolete, they may release her.

Unfortunately,
we're running out of time.

Helena's been activated
six times in the last 24 hours.

She's not going to survive
another five and a half days.

They've miscalculated
on their weakest link.

She's not their weakest link, Victor.

The circuit runs
from their computers...

To the force field... around us...

To Helena.

- — To kano...
- And back to their computers.

Right. So it's all up to kano
to jam computer.

We can't touch Helena
but we can break the chain.

You've tested it?
— once, but it worked.

When I jammed it, the force field
was off for 3.2 seconds.

You won't even get off the ground.

I'll need at least 15 minutes.

13 minutes 10 seconds from lift off

to getting the force field,
which won't be there.

- And you can get me 13 minutes?
- Plus 10 seconds. It's easy.

Three keys locked together
isn't the same as locking them all.

When kano was experimenting
he only jammed one circuit.

He's set up enough memory cells to
cause an overload in 25 key circuits.

It'll take computer 32 seconds
to clear each circuit.

Which will give us the time we need,
13 minutes.

When the computerjams,
the force field will shut down

long enough for me to get through.

Even if it works,
what can you do when you get there?

- How will you get inside the sphere?
- The same way you did. Helena...

I don't think they know
their planet no longer exists.

If I can convince them of that,
they may release you.

But there's no time pattern.
I'm activated at random.

Helena, please?

Victor and kano
have worked out the details.

We need you to go through with it.

I don't have any choice, do I?

(Koenig) 'Standby. The moment dr
Russell is reactivated, we lift off.'

(Paul) Commander, dr Russell's
been reactivated. Lift off.

Force field 8-0.

7-0... 6-o.

'Force field 4-0.'

- (koenig) 'How are we on time?'
- Any moment now.

(Koenig) 'Now, kano!'

(Paul) Visual contact lost.

Commander koenig? Commander?

This is main mission, come in.

Eagle 1 here.

- We're inside the sphere.
- (Paul) They're through.

Naturally.

Is it over? — not yet.

You'll be reactivated
in a few minutes.

But, for the last time.

Paul, information on triton
is in place.

Dr Russell, now you can only
transmit what we want them to know.

- — Computers set, sir.
- Right, standby.

I was never one to turn down
an invitation.

- Neither was I. — no, Carter.

Stay with the ship. If we're not
back in 10 minutes, 15 at the most,

you blast out of here.

Right, sir.

You won't need that.

All right.

Get ready.

(Tritonian) 'Welcome,
commander koenig.'

where are you?

'We regret the deaths
of Clifford and Donovan.'

sure you do.
Why don't you show yourselves?

'We are here.'

- Surely I'm no threat to you?
- 'That is correct, commander.'

you knew we'd jam our computer.

'That is correct, commander.

'We have been watching earthmen
for many of your earth centuries.

'We find them
a very primitive intelligence.

'We could easily have prevented you
from leaving your base.'

but you need me. Dr Russell will not
live long enough. I'm to replace her.

'The death of dr Russell
is also regrettable, but necessary.'

(koenig) 'If we're so primitive,
why seek our knowledge?'

'for when earthmen
decide to invade our planet.'

triton is two million
light years away.

'Time is an illusion,
commander koenig.'

not to us and not to you.

Because your planet no longer exists.
I can prove it.

Right, standby.

'We do not wish to destroy your men,
commander, or you.

'We will if it is necessary.'

it won't be necessary. I can prove
to you that triton no longer exists.

Victor.

She's sending the computations now.

This is triton's galaxy.
Do you acknowledge?

'We acknowledge.'

this is triton's star system.

'We acknowledge.'

this is triton's universe.

'We acknowledge.'

this is triton's sun.

'We acknowledge.'

the calculations you see now
are coming through dr Russell.

You can check them.

- They will prove...
- — 'no longer...'

- your sun exploded, that triton...
- '..Functional.'

triton no longer exists!

Your function is discontinued.
Release dr Russell.

'No longer functional.

'Destroy... destroy.

'De... stroy. Destroy... de...'

'de... de... destroy...'

Follow me, this way!

What are you waiting for? Come on!

Ready for lift off.

Let's get out of here, move it.

- So far, so good. You all right?
- Yes.

- John?
- We don't know if he got out.

- The sphere is breaking up.
- What about the force field?

- — It's lost its power.
- Visual contact.

Just want to satisfy my curiosity.

- What is it?
- You have a lovely optic nerve.

Thank you, dr Mathias.

Why so pensive, Victor?

Oh, I was just thinking
about that planet, triton.

All that knowledge... and yet...

Perhaps knowledge
isn't the answer after all.

Then what is?
