All language subtitles for 01x17.The.Last.Sunset

- Sun like ours, planet
Ariel with its atmosphere.

It's a perfectly balanced
little solar system.

- If we go into orbit,

what does that do to your
sense of symmetry, Victor?

- Oh, if we go to orbit I
shan't care about symmetry.

- Providing, of course,
that planet proves

to be as well-endowed
as computer predicts.

- Oh, yeah.

Main mission.

Come in, Alan.

- Planet Ariel's atmosphere

looks like pea
soup from up here.

- It is Alan.

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

- You should monitor
eco-surface temperatures carefully

as you enter the atmosphere.

- Heat shields at maximum.

Standby to fire your
retros in 30 seconds.

- Computer's flight
plan for their descent

to the planet's surface.

- No problems?

- No problems.

- All right, Paul,
put it through

to the on-board
computer, would you?

- I have Scalla contact.

Alien object approaching.

Alien object closing fast.

It's homing on me.

It's some kind of missile.

Can't shake it off.

- Alan, Alan.

- We're alive, Commander.

It hasn't gone off.

It's just attached itself.

- Eagle two and Eagle
seven, return to base.

Paul, evacuate all personnel
from launchpad one.

Crash units standby.

- Approaching now
for final descent.

- All right, Alan, we
won't take any chances.

We'll bring you in an automatic.

Eagle seven stand clear.

Alan, Add one is sealed off.

As soon as you land, skip
all touchdown procedures

and get clear as
quickly as you can.

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

- Well, my guess is it won't,

at least not until
you bring it home.

All right, Paul, bring 'em in.

- Victor, what do you
get on the scanners?

- Nothing, can't get
any readings at all.

- Density?

Radiation?

- And the object resists

any remote analysis
technique we have.

- We'll have to bring it in.

An intelligent civilization
with an atmosphere

similar to earth's sees
earth man approaching

and tries to prevent him.

So by creating a diversion
and a continuing mystery,

he does just that.

Plausible?

- Yes, but why?

- Well, maybe to gain time
to find out more about us.

- Prevent us from finding
out anything about them.

- Let the professor prod it
about as much as he likes.

Don't let's waste any more time

in getting back to that planet.

- We go into orbit
around that Sun,

we'll have all the time we need.

- Helena, we don't know
if we're going into orbit

any more than we
know whether this thing

is friendly or hostile.

And even if it is some
kind of a, an invitation card

I think we've got to
play this step by step.

Anything so far, Victor?

- Oh, not much I'm afraid.

Weight 428, diameter .86 of
a meter, temperature ambient,

radiation zero,
composition still unknown.

- Inert?

- Oh, totally.

- Gas!

Helena, prepare to
receive casualties.

Victor, analyze that
gas sooner than possible.

Paul, red alert.

Evacuate the technical
section, seal it off,

then open its
airlocks to the surface.

Come on.

Paul?

- Technical area
sealed off and ventilated.

- Good, Kano, can
computer assess

the total capacity
of that object?

- At the present rate of
expansion, Commander,

not less than infinite.

- The pressure in the
technical area was by 80

before we could
activate the airlocks.

It couldn't get out fast enough.

- Diameter less than
a meter, weight 428.

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 is increasing, Paul.

By the time we go into orbit,

it will be almost
the same as Earth's.

- Kano, has computer
analyzed my data yet?

Computer's telling
us nice stories today.

- Computer never tells...

- Tells stories.

John, so far so good.

Of course, I can
only test for elements

that we know and can identify.

There may be some things

that our instruments
don't register.

- What about ultraviolet?

That was your main concern.

- The atmosphere begins
to thin off rapidly at 20,000.

Now on earth, that
would hardly be enough

to act as a filter, but here,

I think we're
gonna be all right.

- But the final test
is to breathe it, right?

- And live in it.

- Attention, everyone.

Dr. Russell is satisfied
as far as she can tell

from the processed data
that the atmosphere out there

is breathable and safe.

Now what I'd like
now are two volunteers

to go out there and make sure.

Sandra, Paul.

Now I want you to remember

that this is a final stage
of a scientific program.

It's not a joyride.

However, Kano, along
with everything else,

I'd like you to run a constant
check on their joy levels.

- Confirm airlock pressure
equalized with atmosphere.

- Confirmed, Paul, you're
clear to move out now.

You are now breathing
more air than oxygen

and the pressures inside and
outside your suits are equal.

How do you feel?

- I feel fine.

- My pulse rate is increasing.

- Yes, I'm monitoring that.

Chalk that up to the excitement.

- Smells very good.

Like what?

- Like... like country air.

- Oh, we're gonna have to
worry about sitting in drafts.

- Well, we've simply exchanged

one set of problems for another.

- I'm having trouble calculating
our seasonal variations,

but just instinctively
I'd say it was spring.

- Away from Alpha,

away from sensors,
monitors and computers.

We have done the
longest tour of duty ever.

We deserve a break.

- Not exactly 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
earthly sound I miss most

in the silence of space?

- Birdsong?

In there, cooped up,
there are thoughts

we just can't allow
ourselves to think.

- If we go into orbit,

this the old moon could
become our new earth.

We could settle and
build outside Alpha,

we could fertilize the
lunar dust and raise crops.

- All we need is a rainfall.

- Oh, you make that.

The air here's
rotten with humidity.

All we've gonna do
is to start the cycle.

Sowing cloud-forming
crystals in the sky.

- Victor, it took 25 years to
reclaim the Sahara Desert.

Right out there is a
planet that already supports

some kind of civilization.

I think our priority has to
be to establish whether it can

or will support us.

- Ho, tomorrow we'll
build a swimming pool.

- Tomorrow we'll
build a new Alpha.

- The cycle's begun.

The Sea of Tranquility
will become a genuine sea.

All those craters will fill up
and become circular lakes.

Oh, John, it's gonna
be a beautiful new world.

- Wait a minute.

How long will it take?

- How hard will it rain?

- Victor, those circular
lakes will look wonderful,

but Alpha is built in a crater.

And if it rains as hard
as you hope it will,

right at the bottom
of one of those lakes

will be Moonbase Alpha.

This expedition will be under

the overall command
of Dr. Russell.

Our brief is straightforward.

We've been combing the
universe searching for a new earth.

And now suddenly, thanks
to our mysterious friends

on the planet Ariel,
we found it right here

under our very noses.

Now the job ahead
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 join me now
in wishing them good luck.

- Yes.

- Good luck.

Come back soon.

- Good luck.

- Nice, heavy rain cloud forming
over the Taurus Mountains.

- Fine, not much
evidence of rainfall.

How you feeling back there?

- Air sick, that's why I
opted for the space program.

- And this data
transmitter's beginning to act

like a primitive crystal set.

- Computer can't
read much of this data.

There's too much interference.

- We've got all the filters in.

It's the best we can get.

- They must be flying into
an electric storm or something.

An atmosphere's
a mixed blessing.

- Not for me, it isn't.

- Well, communications
are bad, Commander.

We're back to the static
and crackle of earth.

- Now we're really flying.

Hello, Alpha, this
is Eagle Two Eight,

I'm getting something
like turbulence on the run

up to the Taurus Mountains.

I'm going over the top.

- Come in, Eagle 28.

We're not receiving you, 28.

But if you can hear me, Alan,

your orders are to return
to base immediately.

- Alpha, we're in trouble.

Come in, this is
Eagle Two Eight.

Do you read me?

- Keep trying.

Eagle Two Eight, come
in Eagle Two Eight.

I want their exact position.

- We're losing power.

Main boosters.
- Main boosters.

Malfunction.

- Back up power.
- Back up power.

Malfunction.

- All systems out.

Crash positions.

Eagle 28, come in, Eagle 28.

Eagle 28, come in.

Eagle 28, do you copy?

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

Eagle 28 come in.

- All contact lost with
onboard computer.

- Eagle 28, come in, Eagle 28.

Eagle 28, do you copy, come in.

Eagle 28, come in.

- Kano, I want every Eagle
fueled and ready for liftoff.

I want photographs,
every inch within a radius

of 500 miles of
their last position.

Victor, divide the
sector into 28 zones.

Mathias?

- Yes, Commander?

- Load Eagle one with medical
supplies and rescue equipment.

You're coming with me.

- Zone nine to pad one,
Eagle Twelve to pad three,

Eagle Two Four to pad five.

Eagle One Nine to pad one.

Liftoff Eagle Twelve.

Elevator locked in pad four.

Clear to go Eagle One Four.

- One Four to main mission,
we have ignition and liftoff.

- Main mission to Eagle
fleet, wind is southwesterly

at two one zero and
falling to strength three.

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.

- Every transistor,
every condenser,

not one of them isn't blown.

- The lightning, we
must have blown out

every circuit in the ship.

- That means we're totally
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 got enough
food to last us a fortnight.

There's about 30 gallons of
drinkable water in the tanks.

And with 27 serviceable
Eagles back at the base,

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

Come on then.

- We're directly over the
last point of radio contact.

- Not much of a
new world, is it?

Not much of a
place to be lost in.

Doctor?

- Dust!

- Are you all right?
- Yeah.

- How's Sandra?
- Okay.

- 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.

- Have them
refueled immediately.

- Hey, John, it's
looking promising.

The moon's curving in nicely
towards an orbital station

around our new sun.

Gravitational influence
continues to increase

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

- With a 50/50 chance
of going into orbit, right?

- Oh, it's...

- And if we don't go into orbit,

conditions on that surface
will deteriorate rapidly.

Also right.

- Hey, how many tons
does a man gotta shift

before he gets some
breakfast around here?

- Protasic acid,
tanks have smashed,

and it's eaten it's
way into everything,

food, medical
supplies, and the water.

- Why was it stored
anywhere near the food?

- It wasn't.

The impact must have
carried it into the cargo section

along with the main motor.

We're probably lucky it
didn't explode right away.

- Lucky?

- Come on, Alan, take it easy.

We still got survival rations.

- Oh, yeah, and
about half a drop

of uncontaminated water, great.

It's 120 degrees in
the shade out there.

What's that gonna do to
Sandra with a high fever?

She needs all the
water she can get.

- Right, and you make sure
the next time they fly over

they can see us, okay?

- Let's get this gear outside.

We've got to start making
some kind of marker.

- Eagle 15 is
grounded, Commander.

- Grounded?

- Apparent seizure of
the lateral stabilizers.

So far five Eagles have
reported similar faults.

- Now look, Kano,
we cannot afford faults.

We spent months
drifting through space,

and those technicians
have nothing to do

but sit on their backsides.

Now I need every Eagle
I can get, what happens?

Half of them go lame.

Get those technicians
moving, Kano,

get them moving!

No Eagle is grounded
until I say so, now go on!

- John, they're
breaking their necks

in the technical section.

- So they should.

- Listen, you've got
to face the possibility

we may not find them at all.

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

- She'll die out here.

120 degrees by day
and freezing by night.

- Well, you rooted pretty
hard for the crazy idea

of settling out here
instead of going down

to the planet Ariel.

- No one reckoned on
you flying into a cloud bank

for your kicks.

- Come on, let's
save our energy.

- Make that three.

- No, Paul and I'll share one.

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

- There must be
something we can do.

- Like walk?

- Mind liftoff, Commander.

No systems
malfunction indicated.

- Kano, stop him.

For heaven's sake, stop him.

Bring him back!

- Does anything
function on this base?

Well?

- Something we don't know
about in the atmosphere,

coupled with incessant
flying through fine particles

of moon dust caused
very rapid corrosion.

Your control
systems just seized.

- Now, Victor, you say
every Eagle is affected.

- Yes, but we found
that parts coated

with a graphite
compound won't corrode.

- How long will it take
to strip down one Eagle

and graphite every
exposed surface?

- Technical estimate three days.

They've started already.

- They'll have to do it in two.

And I don't whether
this is friend or foe,

but let's get it out
of here, all right?

- Paul.

- You're getting better.

You're going to be all right.

- I thought we had found a home.

- We will, we will.

- But...
- Shh, shh.

I'll find you some
more to drink.

Here.

- Has it rained?

- Yes, it rained.

- Paul?

- Shh.

- Sandra?

Where's Paul?

- Gone to fetch water.

- Paul!

Paul!

Paul!

- Paul said it had rained.

- He did?

Oh, yes.

- Was it much?

- No, not really.

Just more of a promise
of things to come.

- Home, the new city of Alpha.

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

It gets whatever
breeze is going.

- Thank you, Paul, but I...

- We 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.

- Hey, you're a regular pioneer.

Where'd you get the
steam to be up all night?

Breakfast?

- What is it?

- Manna, food from heaven.

Or perhaps from the
people on the planet Ariel,

if you prefer.

- Wait a minute,
where did it come from?

- Over there under the rocks.

It's growing like mushrooms.

- Well, we have no way
of analyzing, of testing it.

We can't eat it until...

- But I've already tested it.

- You've eaten it?

Sandra?

- Not yet, we were
waiting until you joined us.

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

Look, man shall not
live by hope alone.

- Paul, we have to be careful.

- Look, it doesn't seem to
have done him any harm.

I mean, if put this
all together overnight,

he must have got the
strength from somewhere.

- The way I see it
is it's no accident

that the moment
I lie down to die,

this stuff literally appears
in front of my nose.

Look, it could be months
before they find us out here.

Every time we
clear a signal area,

the dust covers it up again.

Maybe we'll never
even see another Eagle.

Yesterday we were
dying without hope.

Today we not only have
hope, but sustenance, as well.

- Hey, 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 try it.

- How long will that take?

- Lunch time.

- Hey, just in case it is okay,
I'm going mushroom hunting.

- Hey, John, you want
to look at that much,

you should have left it
in the technical section.

- You don't have
to tell me, Victor,

that phony
cheerfulness tells me.

We're not going
into orbit, right?

- Ah, well, no.

No, we should have
gone to the planet after all.

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

- They gave us air.

- Right, which will turn into
an icecap the moment we pass

beyond the warmth
of Ariel's sun.

And Alpha will be
crushed to death.

What's happening with
the corrosion-proof Eagle?

- Ready to go.

That's liftoff, Commander.

- No problems here, Kano.

We're clearing Alpha
now on two four zero.

- And we shall
build farms first.

And then will come the
roads and the streets.

And slowly the community
will have a heart,

an urban heart
of great buildings.

It'll be the capital of
our new civilization.

- I'm not sure that it's safe,

but I think maybe
we should try it.

- Of course.

- I'll do some more
tests 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're given an atmosphere,
a freak electrical storm

and we're cut off, a freak
dust storm and we're buried,

we're almost near starvation

and food is sent
from the heavens.

Oh no, the people of our
planets 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 bring up children.

We'll multiply.

And like the people of old Peru,

who spread the human
race across the Pacific

on fragile rafts, so will
we 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, that...

- Pick it up.

- Ah.

- You would come
between me and my destiny.

No one shall stop me, no one.

Paul, no, no.

- Look, Dr. Russell, the
people of the planet Ariel

are here again.

It is a second coming.

- Atmospheric pressure's
falling rapidly, Commander.

- Yeah, I'm not surprised.

Those satellites are back.

- Commander, 15 degrees left.

Spacesuits, Commander,
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, Paul.

- I said leave her alone.

We have laid the foundation
stone of mankind's future,

Sandra and I.

Sandra, come on,
come on, Sandra.

- What we have is a food
substance, amazingly rich

in second-class protein and
many of the essential vitamins.

We could grow
almost limitless crops

once we've removed all
the hallucinating elements.

- I'm sorry I didn't
discover that sooner, Paul.

- Oh, I'm not, it
wasn't a bad trip,

except for the ending.

- It's at times like that,

you find out who
your friends are, Paul.

- Commander, there's
movement of the alien object.

- Let's see it.

- It's leaving us.

- The sooner, the better.

We were neither benevolent,

nor malevolent,
Commander Koenig.

Our 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.
