(Controller) Eagle 29
approaching asteroid, commander.

Eagle 10 descending with nuke.

Eagle 10 to Alpha,
nuclear charge in place.

(Eagle 10) 'Mission completed.
Returning to base.'

eagles 10, 11 and 12 have laid their
charges and are returning to base.

What's happened to Alan?
Still nothing from eagle 1.

Carter, what's happened to eagle 1?

Eagle 1's in trouble.

Yeah. The problem's
in the main booster.

I can't get the speed.

He's gotta make it.

We need 12 explosions to destroy
the asteroid and avoid a collision.

We're losing time.

Alan needs a minimum of 110 seconds
to get out before we detonate.

Delay the blast 40 seconds.

We can't. We have to destroy
that asteroid.

Timing's vital to avoid being caught
in radiation from the blast.

Delay the blast for 40 seconds!

(Controls beep)

Alan, we have two minutes.
Can you make it?

All the way, commander.

Alan, don't worry about perfection.
Just get in and get out.

The release mechanism's jammed!

Time's running out.

Alan, we've got to have it there...

Or else we'll all die.

She's going.

- 'She's gone!'
- We've lost the time line.

Blast in ten seconds.

- Nine... eight...
- (Koenig) 'Delay ten.'

blast now t minus fifteen.

Alan, you've got another 13 seconds.

Thanks.

(Beeping)

Good luck.

Red alert.

Activate radiation screens.

Five... four...
Three... two... one... activate.

Eagle 1, do you copy?

Come in eagle 1.

He didn't stand a chance.

Damage reports from all sections.

- Getting them now, sir.
- Come in, eagle 1.

Eagle 1, do you read me?
Alan, do you read me?

- Radiation screens at full power.
- Full power confirmed.

We wait for the screens to crack.

- Let's be grateful we got this far.
- Thanks to Alan.

Come in, eagle 1.
Come in, eagle 1.

- Alan, do you read me?
- John.

- That's not helping.
- Sandra, I want a scanner report.

(Sandra) I am trying, but these
readings do not make sense.

The orbital satellites?

Transmissions cannot
penetrate the cloud.

(Morrow) Structural damage
in section b4.

(Kano) Computer reports power failure
in residence buildings c and d.

(Morrow) Medical section reports
14 casualties.

- Radiation?
- No. Conventional injuries only.

- Keep calling Alan.
- Come in, eagle 1.

It may help him to know we're alive.

John...

If you think I made
the wrong decision, tell me.

If you think I'm wasting my time
trying to reach Alan, tell me...

But if you're trying to tell me
you don't think Alan is alive,

I don't want to hear.

It was a human decision, John.

None of us would have decided
any other way.

But now we've got
a new situation to face.

Yeah, but very few facts.

(Morrow) Eagle 1, do you copy?
Alan, can you hear me?

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

(Bleeping signal)

There. We're still getting
our satellite identification signal.

- But on the inter-stellar frequency.
- Exactly! Which Alan doesn't have.

But if we equip an eagle and send it
through that radiation cloud,

we can establish contact
between it, Alan and Alpha.

Paul, prepare an eagle forthejob.

If Alan's out there, we'll find him.

We're at risk from radiation.

If you fly through
that radiation cloud...

We have radiation screens.

Effective against classes
of radiation we know about.

Out there is radiation
we know nothing about.

Victor, if he's not out there,
I want to know it for a fact.

- Paul, put an eagle on pad two.
- Pad two's damaged.

Pad four might function.

(Koenig) Make it!

I have four warning lights here
in the secondary systems.

But they're minor.
I say we disregard them.

I agree. Otherwise,
we're ready for lift-off.

- Clearto go.
- Good.

'Main mission, this is koenig.
We have lift-off.

'Visibility nil.'

no instruments. Visibility nil
and he has no idea where Alan is.

Or even if he is alive at all.

It defies logic.

Yeah, it's a thing called faith.

Hello, eagle 1. Hello, eagle 1.

Eagle 1, do you copy?

Keep trying.

(Morrow) Come in, eagle 1.

Eagle 1, do you copy? Can you
give me your last position, Alan?

We're on our way to bring you in.

'Come in, eagle 1.'

'eagle 1, do you copy?'

(Woman's voice)
'Are you feeling better?'

(Woman) 'You're quite safe now.'

(Koenig) 'Come in, eagle 1.

'Eagle 1, do you copy?

'Can you hear me?'

(woman) 'Speak to them.'

(mumbles) Hello, Alpha.
Alpha, this is eagle 1.

He's alive! Paul, did you hear that?
He's alive.

Alan, this is Paul.
We're up here in eagle 4.

Steer us to your position.

Alan, this is Paul. Did you get that?

Eagle 1, do you copy?

- He's not receiving us.
- Paul, fix his position.

Give us a course.

(Woman) 'Your friend
is at orbital reference 349.'

course computed and programmed.

I haven't got his position yet.

I have.

- There he is.
- Hello, Alpha.

We found eagle 1,
drifting outside the cloud.

'Not too much damage.'

well done, John.

We're moving in now to dock.

(Bergman) 'Good luck.'

(koenig) Docking procedure
checked and programmed.

(Woman) 'Check docking procedure
and programme.'

(beep)

Confirmed.

Docking secure.

Check. Well done, sir.

He handled the docking beautifully.

I don't think he's too badly hurt.

You hold her steady,
I'm going in there.

(Woman's voice) 'Your own people
will take care of you now.'

- who are you?
- 'A friend.'

(koenig) 'Paul?'

how is he?

He's alive but unconscious.

The effort of that docking
must have been too much for him.

My god!

Commander?

Commander, what's wrong?

Commander!

Commander!

- We're returning to base.
- Why?

(Koenig) Another collision course.
But this time it's a planet.

A massive planet.

There's no getting away
with this one.

Thanks, Paul. Stay with him
till the medics arrive.

Then report to my office.

Decontamination?

Forget it. We're running out of time.

(Bleep)

- Medical.
- Yes, John.

Skip the radiation check.

It won't take a moment.

You can't keep me here.

Doctor, he's clear.

Carter's in eagle 1 with morrow.

Kano, process this information.

Give me a report as quickly as
you can. Victor, we're in trouble.

If you hadn't gone, we wouldn't have
known about this planet till it hit.

We'd probably have been better off.

- I've been thinking...
- Best news I've had today.

- How's Alan?
- Clean as a whistle.

- No radiation?
- No radiation.

- What are we going to do about it?
- One thing's for sure,

we won't be able to destroy it
like the asteroid.

My guess is it's 30 times
the size of the moon.

34. And it is on a collision course.

Impact will be in 105 hours
and 13 minutes from now.

- I'm worried.
- The eagles have radiation screens.

I know, but he's been
three hours in that cloud.

I'd be surprised if he
wasn't affected in some way.

How about altering our own trajectory

by setting up a blast
on the other side of the moon?

Yes, go on.

We recreate the accident
that blasted us out of earth's orbit.

So we blow ourselves up?

- We survived it once!
- By a miracle.

- Isn't that what we're asking for?
- Just don't ask computer to work it.

Easy. We need a realistic
plan to avoid disaster.

- We've no time forthis.
- Just a minute.

The principle of Paul's suggestion
is dead right.

We've got to alter our trajectory
relative to the planet.

But perhaps there's another way.

Suppose we make a force
between ourselves and the planet.

We could put down a chain of nuclear
charges, like mines moored in space,

and make a shock wave
between us and the planet

which might force them apart,
change their trajectory.

- Makes sense.
- I think it's the only possibility.

All right, get to work on it.
I'd like a detailed plan.

Sandra, what have you learned
about the planet?

- It has an atmosphere.
- Go on.

- But it is not ideal.
- Breathable?

I think we could survive.

Temperatures range from
10 degrees to minus 30,

so it is almost certain that some
kind of life exists there.

Question is, what kind of life?

We'll bombard that planet
with every kind of communication.

Paul, you've overlooked something.

We're still isolated
by that radiation cloud.

All our information has come from
the on-board computers on my eagle.

If we want more information,
it means a reconnaissance flight.

If that planet is habitable, even
though conditions may not be ideal,

we could evacuate
all our people to the far side.

Yeah. The question is,

can that planet withstand
a collision with the moon?

How long is a piece of string?

All right, I'll go and take
a look at that planet,

meantime, you start
operation shock wave.

If I find that planet's habitable,
we'll have to make a spot decision

as to whether we chance evacuation.

- Who are you?
- A friend.

Why have you come to me?

- Where have you come from?
- You are quite safe now.

(Carter) Who are you?

Who...

Are you?

Alan.

No. Where are you?
Come back. Don't leave me.

- Nurse.
- Take me with you.

Take me with you.
Take me to your people.

- Bob.
- Where are you?

It's all right, Alan.

- No.
- You'll be all right now.

- Give us a hand, will you?
- What's this about?

Hallucination. Disorientation.

Classic symptoms
of radiation sickness.

- He has been affected.
- That's not possible.

- The instruments cleared him.
- They're wrong.

- They're probably wrong about you.
- Helena.

The man's been unconscious.
Dreaming. Maybe having a nightmare.

- That was no nightmare.
- How can you be sure?

I know my job. Except for Alan, you
and Paul had the greatest exposure.

I'm not hallucinating. Maybe I was
hasty, but so was your assessment.

My assessment is based on experience
and with no help from the clock.

Extensive tests take time.

I think he has been affected
and if I'm right,

- you're suspect too...
- Look, Helena...

(Beep)

- Yes, Paul.
- 'Reconnaissance eagle ready.'

'copilot Pierre Daniel standing by.'

- thanks Paul, I'm going alone.
- You're not going out?

Don't worry. I'll wear my galoshes.

Main mission, this is koenig calling
on inter-stellar frequency.

- 'How do you read?'
- Very loud and very clear.

It seems the radiation cloud
is dispersing.

Confirmed by Sandra's data
from your on-board computer.

- We're receiving.
- How's operation shock wave coming?

Professor bergman's made his
first computation. Looks possible.

Once Victor's happy with the plan,
start placing the nuclear charges.

Alpha main mission, we copy.

Well, professor, are you happy?

Farfrom it, Paul. But I suppose
it makes some sort of sense.

- Then we go ahead?
- I think so.

- There is life on that planet.
- We read you.

Punch in long-range cameras.

A mammoth spaceship,
heading right towards me.

Tremendous velocity.
I'm taking evasive action.

It's dragging me towards it.
Retro-rockets ineffective.

Why doesn't he open fire?

If it's strong enough
to drag him towards it,

it could be strong enough
to stop his lasers.

Eagle 4, come in, eagle 4.

This is main mission. Do you copy?

Eagle 4, come in!

There is no communication.

I'm getting nothing
from the on-board instruments.

Well, what do we do?

There's a slim chance
he may have survived,

even inside that other ship.

- So we can't attack.
- What can we do?

Their technology is
much more advanced than ours.

Operation shock wave,
do we go on with it?

We must at least go on
with the preparations.

The planning meeting for operation
shock wave is brought forward.

We'll start in the commander's
office. Keep calling.

If you hear anything, let me know.

Moonbase Alpha, do you read me?

Main mission, this is koenig,
do you read me?

Do you read me?

I have waited a long time
to meet you, John koenig.

Who are you?

I am arra, queen of atheria.

Atheria?

The planet whose course
has so terrified you and your people.

We have expected you
for many millions of years.

You see, your destiny
has always been our destiny.

But how can that be possible?

It was only a matter of time
before we met, John koenig.

It seems to me
we're here by accident.

Our moon was blasted out of earth's
orbit by a nuclear explosion.

No one could have foreseen that.

Oh, poor John koenig.

How you belittle yourself
in the scheme of things.

And yet how small you are
to be so great.

I should very much like to know
my place in the scheme of things.

Our two planets have met
in the body of time

for the great purpose of mutation.

We shall change utterly.

And the change will reverberate

through the galaxies
and universes of eternity.

You and I are two vital drops

in the boundless ocean of time.

We have met with purpose.

We must not fail our destiny.

On this question
of the destiny of man,

please be more specific.

What will happen to us?

You shall continue on.

Your odyssey shall know no end.

You will prosper and increase
in new worlds,

new galaxies,

you will populate
the deepest reaches of space.

And you?

The gene of which
I and my people are a part

shall mutate.

We shall take on another form.

Unrecognisable.

Spiritual, if you like.

But once changed,

we shall become immutable

for time inconceivable.

And what must I do to help you
achieve all of this?

Nothing.

I'm afraid I'm right.
Whether intentionally or not,

the alien spaceship's parked itself
in the exact position

where we planned to lay our mines
and create shock wave.

How much time do we have?

The cargo eagles carrying the nuclear
charges should be leaving now.

Tanya.

Give all cargo-carrying eagles
lift-off clearance.

Yes, Paul.

John is still inside
that alien spaceship.

There's no need to state the obvious.

Main mission to all cargo eagles.

Move towards the alien spaceship.

Coordinates for the nuclear charges
will be transmitted shortly.

No other way?

Not that I know of.

Your friends are dangerously
concerned about you.

They are making elaborate plans
which could destroy this ship.

How can you know that?

I can hear their thoughts and words

and the unthinking calculations
of your computers.

This activity must cease.

They must do nothing.

Are you asking me to tell them
to do nothing?

How can I do that?

They'll need facts,
logical explanations.

They're all logical men and women.

There is a way.

If you come with me, arra,

you could help me to persuade them
just by your presence.

I cannot come with you.

We both have our parts to play.

Yours is to do nothing.

I have much to do.

What you tell me
sounds magnificent here,

in this chamber and from your lips,

but how will it sound in
the cold light of moonbase Alpha?

They'll never believe me.

They already think I'm suffering
from radiation sickness.

They simply will not believe me.

That is the test of your command.

Are you unfit to play the part

for which you've been destined
since the beginning of time?

I have faith in you, John koenig.

And I have faith in you.

But what is faith against the fact
of imminent collision?

I'll need to know more. I...

I'll need to know
what you are going to do.

I go to shape the future of eternity.

And I need your help.

Arra.

(Arra) 'I go to shape
the future of eternity.

'And I need your help.

'Your help, your help, your help.'

Paul!

(Beep)

'Main mission, this is koenig.'

we read you, commander.
Are you all right?

I'm fine.
Suspend all operations immediately.

'Repeat, sir.'

repeat - cancel operation shock wave,

pull those eagles out, and most
important, do nothing until I return.

Repeat, nothing until I return.

Yes, sir.

You don't believe me.

I know it's incredible,
but I trust her, I believe her!

The radiation cloud has cleared.

Our readings are accurate,
checked by computer.

We will collide with that planet
in under seven hours.

Unless shock wave goes ahead.

The charges are in position,
countdown's underway.

It would be madness to stop it.
Is that what you want?

- Exactly. That's what I want.
- Then you are mad.

- Paul...
- It's an open and shut case.

We either attempt to save ourselves,
or we die. What's different

about this to other danger
we've been in?

- All right.
- Tell us, what is she going to do?

I don't know!

You don't know.

Paul, there have been
two constant factors

in all the troubles
we've been through.

One, we've survived them all.

Two, John koenig
has been commander throughout.

Why doubt his command now?

(Morrow) But it's absurd.

Is it? You didn't see arra.
She has convinced John koenig

and as far as I'm concerned, I see no
reason to doubt his command now.

Against every fact and calculation!

Facts, calculations. You're beginning
to talk like a computer.

Hmm... of course reason and fact
are against arra.

But the commander's case
is not based on reason or fact.

But on faith.

I think we should
have faith in him.

You set up operation shock wave.

Yes, I did. And now I believe
it should be cancelled.

Paul, cancel operation shock wave.

This meeting is closed.

Paul, you'll have to take over now.

Radiation sickness.
Hallucination, disorientation.

- Same symptoms as Carter's.
- Is it permanent damage?

I don't know. Alan is still affected.

John will have to be confined
to his quarters and mildly sedated.

Do we continue with shock wave?

Countdown is six hours
and 32 minutes.

- And you'll look after John.
- Yeah.

(Sighs)

- Security.
- 'Security. Identify.'

dr Russell. Have two guards report
to me in medical centre immediately.

(Beeping)

All generators working
at minimum capacity.

Activate radiation shields
to medium power.

Technical section,
seal all launch pads.

Evacuate maintenance areas
and decompress.

'Yes, sir.'

(Morrow) Nuclear charges fused,
ready to detonate.

Your friends have betrayed you,
John koenig.

(Mumbles) Betrayed.

(Bleep)

Computer, lock my door!

Alan Carter, it is I, arra,

who needs your help now.

Arra.

Arra, help.

Dr Mathias!

(Bleep)

(Carter thinks) 'Arra, she called,
where is she?'

(koenig thinks) 'You saw her, too?

'Alan, I need your help.
Here's what I want you to do.'

Arming nuclear trigger.

(Kano) 2 minutes 59 to detonation.

(Screams)

(Kano) Gravitational pull
increasing to strength four.

Hold it!

Move, in there. Sandra.

Tanya, get away from that button.

Computer, close and lock
main mission doors.

2 minutes 38 seconds.

Commander, where is arra?

She's with her people
on the planet atheria,

waiting for our worlds to touch.

Then they'll be transformed
into a higher form of life.

Or dead.

You've gotta believe me.
This is our only chance of survival.

Operation shock wave will destroy us!
Unless we wait and do nothing.

- John, give me the gun.
- Helena,

you tried to ignore and deceive me,
but you couldn't deceive arra.

Operation shock wave
will not take place!

Then we'll die for certain.

Gravitational pull
increasing rapidly. We must detonate.

John, please...

Let me help you.

You think I have radiation sickness.

- You and Alan...
- It wasn't radiation.

Arra saved Alan,
just as she'll save all of us.

John, believe me,
the medical facts...

Helena, why don't you believe me?

Helena, if it's a choice...

(Koenig) Paul!

We're all going to die in a minute.

I'll take my chance
a few seconds earlier.

Shoot me, if you choose.

Helena, don't!

Please, trust me! Trust me!

Too late!

Arra!

Arra, where are you?

Victor, I believed her, Victor.
I believed her!

(Explosion)

Come on, quick, get these fires out.

Sandra, kano, keep monitoring.

To your posts, everyone.

Attention all sections,
Alpha, report your damage.

Technical section,
issue equipment to all sections.

Medical section,
prepare to receive casualties.

John, I'm sorry.

You were right. Totally right.

If you'd done anything else,
I'd wanna know why.

- But...
- But nothing.

Helena, if you went out
to that spaceship,

came back with a crazy story
like I did,

I'd be a fool not to lock you up.

How could anyone possibly know

that a planet on a collision course

would not collide...

But simply touch?
