All language subtitles for S01E20 - The Last Sunset

A sun like ours.
planet Ariel with its atmosphere.

It's a perfecty balanced
little solar system.

If we go into orbit, what does that
do to your sense of symmety?

If we go into orbit
I shan't care about symmety!

providing the planet proves to be
as well endowed as Computer predicts.

- 'Main Mission.'
- 'Come in, Alan.'

planet Ariel's atmosphere
looks like pea soup from here.

It is! The oxygen content is more
than four times that of Earth.

Monitor Eagle surface temperature
on entering the atmosphere.

Heat shields at maximum.

Stand by to fire your retros
in thirty seconds.

Computer's flight plan
for the descent to the surface.

- No problems?
- No problems.

put it through
the on-board computer, would you?

Scanner contact.
Alien object approaching.

Alien object closing fast.

It's homing on me!

It's some kind of missile.

I can't shake it off.

Alan?

Alan?

we're alive, Commander.
It hasn't gone off.

It's just attached itself.

Eagles 2 and 7 return to Base.

Evacuate all personnel
from Launch pad 1.

Ready Crash Unit.

- Approaching now for final descent.
- 'All right.

'we won't risk it,
we'll bring you in on auto.

'Eagle 7, stand clear.

'Alan, pad 1 is sealed off.'

As soon as you land, skip
touchdown procedures and get clear.

Fine, Commander.
So far it hasn't made a move.

My guess is it won't.
At least not until you bring it home.

All right, paul, bring him in.

'Victor, what do you get
on the scanners?'

Nothing.
Can't get any readings at all.

'Density?

'Radiation?'

The object resists any
remote-anaysis technique we have.

'we'll have to bring it in.'

An intelligent civilisation
with an atmosphere like Earth's

sees Earthmen approaching
and tries to prevent them.

Creating a diversion
and continuing mystey

does just that, plausible?

Yes... But why?

Maybe to gain time,
to find out more about us.

And to prevent us finding out
anything about them.

Let the professor play with it. Let's
not waste more time on that planet.

If we go into orbit,
we'll have plenty of time.

we don't know if we're going into
orbit, let alone if this is friendy.

Even if it is an invitation card,
we'd better play this step by step.

- Anything so far, Victor?
- Not much.

weight, 4-28.

Diameter, 86 centimetres.
Temperature, ambient.

Radiation, zero.
Composition...

still unknown.

- Inert?
- Totaly.

gas!

Helena, prepare for casualties.

Victor, anayse that gas now.

paul, Red Alert. Evacuate
and seal off Technical Section.

Then open its surface airlocks.

Come on.

Technical Area sealed off
and ventilated.

good. kano, can Computer assess
the capacity of that object?

At the present rate of expansion,
not less than infinite.

pressure in Technical was up by 80
before we activated the airlocks.

Diameter under a metre.
weight, 4-28.

That's impossible.

So it's made its move?

Commander! we're being invaded.

'john, john!

'It's air!
That thing's brought us air.'

Red sunrise.

Blue sky.

An atmosphere.

we've got an atmosphere.

gravity's increasing. By the time we
go into orbit it'll be like Earth's.

kano, has Computer
anaysed my data yet?

Computer's telling
us nice stories today!

- Computer never...
- ..tells stories.

john... So far so good.

I can ony test
for elements we can identify,

there may be things
that don't register.

And your concern about ultra-violet?

The atmosphere thins off
rapidy at 20,000.

0n Earth,
that's not enough to act as a filter.

But here...
I think we'll be all right.

But the final test is to breathe it,
right?

And live in it.

Attention, eveyone.

Dr Russell is satisfied
from her processed data

that the atmosphere out there
is breathable and safe.

what I'd like is two volunteers
to go out and make sure.

Sandra, paul.

Remember, it's the final stage
of a scientific test.

It's not a joyride.

However, kano, I'd also like you
to run a check on their joy levels.

Airlock pressure
equalised with atmosphere.

Confirmed. You're clear to move out.

You're now breathing
more air than oxygen.

The pressures inside
and outside your suit are equal.

How do you feel?

- 'I feel fine.'
- 'My pulse rate's increasing.'

Yes, I noticed.
Chalk that up to the excitement.

Smells vey good.

- 'Like what?'
- Like county air.

0h!

we'll have to wory about draughts.

Exchanging one set
of problems for another!

I'm having trouble calculating
our seasonal variations,

but just instinctivey
I'd say it was spring.

Away from Alpha. Away from sensors,
monitors and computers.

we've done the longest
tour of duty ever.

we deserve a break.

Not exacty home.

I am happy with anything
that gets me out of Alpha.

It makes you look at things
in a different light.

Sunlight?

No, more than that.

If this is the end of one life...

we have to start to build a new one.

To live like human beings again.

Do you know which earthy sound
I miss most in the silence of space?

Birdsong?

In there, cooped up...

there are thoughts that
we can't allow ourselves to think.

If we go into orbit, this old moon
could become our new Earth.

we could build outside Alpha,
fertilise the dust and raise crops.

- All we need is a rainfall.
- we can make that.

The air's so humid
we just have to start the cycle

with cloud-forming cystals.

It took 25 years to reclaim
the Sahara desert.

0ut there is a planet that
already supports a civilisation.

0ur priority has to be to
establish whether it can support us.

Tomorrow we'll build a swimming pool.

we'll build a new Alpha!

The cycle's begun.

The Sea of Tranquillity
will become a genuine sea.

All the craters
will become circular lakes.

It'll be a beautiful new world.

wait a minute!
How long will it take?

How long will it rain?

Victor.

Those circular lakes
will look wonderful

but Alpha is built in a crater.

If it rains as hard
as you hope it will,

at the bottom of one of those lakes
will be Moonbase Alpha.

This expedition
will be commanded by Dr Russell.

Her brief is straightforward.

we've been combing the universe
searching for a new Earth

and suddeny, thanks to our
mysterious friends, we've found it.

Right here, under our vey noses.

The job for these people is to find
the best place in which to live.

So that we may begin our new life,
our new future.

I'd like you to wish them good luck.

Yes.

Take care of yourselves.

- good luck. Come back soon.
- goodbye.

Nice heavy rain cloud forming
over the Taurus mountains.

Fine. Not much evidence of rainfall.

How are you feeling?

Airsick. That's why I opted
for the space programme.

This data transmitter's acting
like a primitive cystal set.

Computer can't read this.
There's too much interference.

we've used all the filters.

They must be fying in an electrical
storm. The atmosphere's not all good.

It is for me.

Communications are bad.
we're back to the static of Earth.

Now we're realy fying.

Hello Alpha, this is Eagle 28.

There's severe turbulence
near the Taurus mountains.

I'm going over the top.

Come in, Eagle 28.
we're not receiving you, 28.

If you can hear me, your orders
are to return to Base now.

we're in trouble.
Come in, this is Eagle 28.

Do you read me?

keep tying.

- Come in, Eagle 28.
- I want their exact position.

we're losing power.

- Main boosters.
- Boosters... Malfunction.

- Back up power.
- Malfunction.

All systems out. Crash positions.

Come in, Eagle 28.
Eagle 28, come in.

Eagle 28, do you copy?

Eagle 28, come in. Eagle 28?

Eagle 28, come in.

Contact lost
with on-board computer.

Eagle 28, come in, Eagle 28.

Eagle 28, do you copy?
Eagle 28, come in.

I want all Eagles
fuelled and ready for liftoff.

photographs, eveywhere within
500 miles of their last position.

Divide the sector into 28 zones.

- Mathias.
- 'Yes, Commander?'

Load Eagle 1 with rescue equipment.

You're coming with me.

Eagle 9 to pad 1.
Eagle 12 to pad 3. Eagle 24 to pad 5.

Eagle 19 to pad 1.
Lift off Eagle 12.

Elevator locked on pad 4.

Clear to go, Eagle 14.

14 to Main Mission, we have ignition.

And liftoff.

Main Mission to Eagle fleet.

wind is southwestery at 2-1-0
and falling to strength 3.

Dust is still a problem over
the search area but...good luck.

No, no. Let's not move her yet.
She has severe concussion.

with concussion you can never tell.

If there are no complications,
she'll be all right.

Evey transistor, evey condenser,
all of them are blown.

The lightning must have blown out
evey circuit in the ship.

That means we're dependent
on Alpha to find us.

paul...why don't you give Alan
a hand getting us some air.

She'll be all right.

Look, we've got enough food
to last us a fortnight.

About 30 gallons
of drinkable water in the tanks.

And there's 27 serviceable
Eagles at the Base.

I'll lay you even money
finding us is a piece of cake.

Come on.

we're directy over
the last point of radar contact.

Not much of a new world, is it?

Not much of a place to be lost in.

Doctor.

- Are you all right?
- Yeah.

Some camouflage, eh

They're never gonna see us here.

Hey! we're here!

we're here, come back.

Come back.

News?

They've run out of daylight.
The last Eagle is returning to Base.

Refuel them immediatey.

john. It's looking promising.

The moon's curving in towards an
orbital station around our new sun.

The gravitational influence
will increase

to a high point
which we'll reach in eight days.

with a 50-50 chance
of going into orbit, right?

- It's...
- If we don't go into orbit

the conditions on that surface
will deteriorate rapidy.

Also right.

How many times has a man got to shift
before he gets some breakfast?

protassic acid. Tanks have smashed
and it's eaten into eveything.

Food, medical supplies...
and the water.

why was it stored near the food?

It wasn't. The impact must have
carried it into the cargo section.

we're lucky it didn't explode.

- Lucky? It's...
- Come on, Alan. Take it easy.

we've still got survival rations.

0h, yeah.

About half a drop
of uncontaminated water. great

It's 120 degrees
in the shade out there.

what will that do
to Sandra with a high fever?

She needs plenty of water.

You make sure the next time
they fy over they can see us.

Let's get this gear outside.
we've got to make a marker.

Eagle 15 has grounded, Commander.

- grounded?
- Seizure of the lateral stabilisers.

So far five Eagles
have reported similar faults.

Look, kano, we can't afford faults.

we drifted through space for ages and
those technicians had nothing to do.

Now I need all the Eagles
and half of them go lame.

get those technicians moving, kano.
get them moving!

No Eagle is grounded until I say so.
Now go on!

They're breaking their necks
down there.

So they should.

You have to face it
that we may not find them at all.

we've got to find them, Victor.
we've got to.

She'll die out here.

120 degrees by day
and freezing by night.

You rooted hard for
that crazy idea of settling out here,

instead of the planet Ariel.

No one knew you'd fy
into a cloud for your kicks.

Come on, let's save our energy.

Make that three.

paul and I will share one.

If we don't survive,
Sandra won't make it.

There must be something we can do.

Like walk?

Nice liftoff, Commander.
No malfunctions indicated.

kano, stop him. For heaven's sake
stop him! Bring him back.

Doesn't anything
function on this Base?

well?

Something we don't know
about in the atmosphere

coupled with incessant
fying through fine particles

caused rapid corrosion,
the system just seized.

Evey Eagle is affected?

Yes. But parts coated with
a graphite compound won't corrode.

How long to strip down one Eagle
and graphite the parts?

Three days. They've started already.

They'll have to do it in two.

I don't know if this is friend
or foe but get it out of here.

You're getting better.
You're going to be all right.

I thought we had found our home.

we will. we will.

- But...
- Shh, shh.

I'll find you some more to drink.

Here.

Has it rained?

Yes, it's rained.

paul?

Sandra?

where's paul?

gone to fetch water.

paul!

paul!

paul.

paul said it had rained.

He did?

0h, yes.

was it much?

No, not realy. just...

more of a promise of things to come.

Home.

The new city of Alpha.

You'll be cooler here when
the sun's up. It gets the breeze.

- Thank you, paul. But I...
- we've found our home.

we're the first Earthmen.

This is our garden of Eden.

To begin the human race
all over again.

It's a nice thought, paul.

You're a regular pioneer. where'd
you get the steam to be up all night?

Breakfast?

- what is it?
- Manna. Food from heaven.

0r perhaps from the people on Ariel,
if you prefer.

wait, where did it come from?

0ver there, under the rocks.

It's growing like mushrooms.

we have no way of anaysing it,
of testing it. we can't...

But I've already tested it.

You've eaten it?

- Sandra?
- Not yet. we were waiting for you.

The change in Sandra's
condition is born of hope.

But man shall not live by hope alone.

paul.

we have to be careful.

It doesn't seem
to have done him any harm.

He put all this up over night, he
must have got the strength somehow.

The way I see it is, it's no accident
that the moment I lie down to die

this stuff literaly
appears in front of my nose.

It could be months
before they find us out here.

Evey time we clear a signal area,
the dust covers it again.

Maybe we'll never
even see another Eagle.

Yesterday we were dying without hope,

today we not ony have hope
but sustenance as well.

I say don't knock it, Doc.

There's no alternative.

we either eat it...or die.

Look, let's stick
to the ration cubes for breakfast,

while I do what tests I can.

Then if it's all right,
and you're still all right,

- we'll all ty it.
- How long will that take?

Lunchtime.

Hey, just in case it is 0k,
I'm going mushrooming.

john, if you want to look at it that
much you shouldn't have moved it.

You don't have to tell me,
that phoney cheerfulness tells me.

we're not going into orbit, right?

Er, well, no.

we should have gone
to the planet after all.

Somehow I don't think
I'd like the people.

- They gave us air.
- Right.

which will turn into an icecap
when we pass beyond the sun's warmth.

And Alpha will be crushed to death.

what's happening with
the corrosion-proof Eagle?

Ready to go.

- 'Nice liftoff, Commander.'
- No problems here, kano.

we're clearing Alpha now on 2-4-0.

And we shall build farms first, then
will come the roads and the streets.

Slowy the community
will have a heart.

An urban heart of great buildings.

It'll be the capital
of our new civilisation.

I'm not sure that it's safe,
but I think maybe we should ty it.

- 0f course!
- I'll test more when we get back.

we're not going back.

we're staying right here
to begin our new life.

None of this happened by chance.

we are given an atmosphere.

A freak electrical storm
and we're cut off.

A freak dust storm buries us.

Near starvation
and food is sent from the heavens.

0h, no.

The people of that planet
have a sense of purpose.

And I believe we have one now.

This land will flow
with milk and honey,

we will build and settle
and raise children, we'll multipy.

Like the people from peru, who spread
the human race across the pacific

so we will launch forth
into space and spread humanity

from solar system to solar system.

That was sacred bread, Alan.

That was sent to us
in our time of need.

paul, wait a minute...

pick it up.

You...would come between
me and my destiny?

No one shall stop me... No one.

paul... No... No.

Look, Dr Russell.
The people from Ariel are here again.

It is a second coming.

Atmospheric pressure's
falling rapidy.

I'm not surprised.
Those satellites are back.

Commander, 15 degrees left.

Spacesuits -
the atmosphere's thinning fast.

No time.

Take her.

Commander, I'm all right.

It's Sandra, she needs help.

She's in a shack over there.

- Sandra?
- Leave her alone!

- There's no time.
- I said, leave her.

we have laid the foundation stone
of mankind's future. Sandra and I.

Sandra, come on.

what we have is a food substance

amazingy rich in protein and
many of the essential vitamins.

we could grow limitless crops,

once we've removed all
the hallucinating elements.

I'm sory I didn't discover
that sooner.

I'm not! It wasn't a bad trip.
Except for the ending.

It's times like that you find
out who your friends are.

Commander, there's movement
on the alien object.

Let's see it.

- It's leaving us.
- The sooner the better.

'we were neither benevolent nor
malevolent, Commander koenig.

'0ur absolute need was to prevent you

'from penetrating
the atmosphere of our planet.

'So we gave you what you wanted

'in the hope that you would not
further disturb us.'

- Can you hear me?
- 'And understand your thoughts.'

Then you must have known
we came in peace.

'we believe your intentions

'but we have been watching
the progress of your world

'since the beginning of time.

'Human nature is such that we could
not afford to take the risk.'
