- Alpha to Eagle One.

Come in, One.

Alpha to Eagle One.

Come in, One.

- Eagle One to base, we copy.

Paul, we're returning to Alpha.

Returning?

- We had a close call.

We were descending to the
planet surface at normal speed

and suddenly we were pulled
down at tremendous speed

as if the G-forces had
increased enormously.

- I've checked that out, John.

G-forces remained constant.

- No other force was recorded
on the instruments, Commander.

- Whatever force it was, it
wasn't anything we know about.

- Did you get that, Paul?

Heard, but not understood.

- It took all our power
we had to get away.

- We're losing power!

Paul, we're in trouble!

Control system's out!

- Alpha to Eagle One.

Come in, One.

Alpha to Eagle One.

Come in, One.

Alpha to Eagle One.

Come in, One.

- Paul, computer's located them.

They crashed down in a crater

over a hundred miles from here.

Medical Center,

report on their physical
condition, please.

- Three are alive, Paul.

I can't get a reading
from Commander Koenig.

Bob, his medical
monitor is not registering.

Dr. Russell,

get the medical team
over to launch pad seven.

- We're on our way.

Paul, any word from them yet?

- Nothing, Doctor.

But their communications
systems are working now.

We may hear from
them at any moment.

How's the commander?

- Still no life readings.

Keep me posted, Paul.

- Come in, Eagle Four.

Come in, Eagle Four.

This is Commander Koenig.

- Commander?

- Alpha calling Eagle One.

Come in, Eagle One.

Alpha calling Eagle One.

Come in, Eagle One.

Tanya, you've got the most

beautiful voice in the world.

- Paul, Eagle One reporting in.

- Commander Koenig?

- No, it's Carter, Paul.

Are you all right?

- Yeah, but the
commander's hurt pretty bad.

Do what you can, Alan.

A rescue unit's on its way.

We'll have you home in no time.

Make it soon, huh?

- Dr. Russell, we've
heard from Carter.

Commander Koenig's
alive, but badly hurt.

- Thank you, Paul.

- Paul, this is
Commander Koenig.

Paul?

Dr. Russell?

Helena?

Alan, this is Dr. Russell.

We're coming alongside now.

Don't move anyone
until I've examined them.

- He's going to be
all right, isn't he?

- I don't know.

We can't do anything
more for them here.

We've gotta get
'em back to Alpha.

- Paul.

- Yes, Alan.

Go ahead.

- Send us a Cargo
Eagle as fast as you can.

We can't move anyone.

We'll have to
separate this section

from the rest of the Eagle

and have it carried
back to Alpha.

- Affirmative.

- Paul.

- I hope you enjoy
your stay here on Zenno,

Commander Koenig.

You must be exhausted
after your long walk.

It is not a dream, but
all very real, I assure you.

This is the planet Zenno.

A major planet in the solar
system known as Cryton.

Five million light-years
away from Earth.

- We had our computer check
out every planet in this sector.

They're all dead.

- Yes, of course.

Your primitive machinery
would record that fallacy

simply because I ordered it to.

- You expect me to believe that?

- Why should I lie?

You are also thinking
that our scanner system

located your moon and you
were brought here by spaceship.

That is correct.

I can read your mind, you see.

All Zennites can.

We have no use of
mechanical devices.

What we need, or want,
we create with our minds.

The mind is
master of all things.

This is my home.

It is made of light.

Outside is our
city, one of many.

You are still skeptical.

Admirable.

Perhaps another view?

A closer one.

Gently, Commander.

You will adjust to it in time.

The city of light.

Light is alive, color is alive.

Magnificent.

At last, you are impressed.

Allow me to impress
you even further.

My name is Raan, your host.

I am as human as you are.

This must be a dream.

- No, Commander.

It all happened here on Zenno.

I made it happen.

See for yourself.

Convinced?

- Why am I here?

- The inevitable question.

Because.

- Because, Commander,

my father is the foremost
anthropologist on Zenno.

- You have not met formally.

Vana, may I present
Commander Koenig.

Commander Koenig,
my daughter Vana.

- You were saying?

- Like all scientists, my
father's curiosity is insatiable.

He wants to learn from you.

- I doubt if I could
teach him anything.

- Not about the present,
or the future, but the past.

And now, let us make
you feel more comfortable,

more at home.

Your quarters on Alpha.

I'm sorry it's not the real
thing, only an image of it.

But quite accommodating,
nevertheless.

- Then I take it
I'm a prisoner here.

- Oh, no.

No, no, no.

You are a guest in my home.

A permanent guest.

Unfortunately, your lifespan
is only one tenth of ours.

- I still don't see what
you hope to learn from me.

- I want to know your mind,
the mind of an Earth man.

All our ancient books,
though very informative,

are limited in knowledge.

But you, dear Commander
Koenig, are flesh and blood.

You're real.

I've been searching for
such as you for a long time.

You are our missing link.

- Paul, we're all set.

Have them lower away.

- All right, Alan.

When they've secured the
module, I'll take over from here.

Piece of cake.

- You just keep
your fingers crossed.

Your food, Commander.

- Fattening me up
for the slaughter?

- You must eat.

I suggest you resign
yourself to the situation.

- My being considered
the caveman of the future

is your idea of a situation?

Do you know what
your father intends to do?

To use me as an experiment
as if I were some kind of.

- Some kind of animal.

Exactly.

- Yes.

I've read of Earth people

and their experiments
with animals.

Exposing their brains and
implanting electrical devices

to record their thought process.

But if that is all he
wanted to learn from you,

he would simply read
your mind, as I would.

- The principle is
exactly the same.

I am being kept
here against my will

for scientific research.

What your father proposes
is just as inhumane.

Or have the Zennites
progressed beyond principles?

- I assure you, no
harm will come to you.

- Vana, I'm not a Zennite.

What's not harmful
to you may be to me.

And you can tell your
father I'll do everything I can

to get back to Alpha.

- That is impossible.

You will remain here
till the end of your life.

- Then that day'll
come a lot sooner!

- Alpha to Eagle
Seven, all secured.

Alan, hang on.

Ready for pick up.

Countdown, 10 seconds.

Nine, eight, seven.

- Six, five, four,

three, two, one, zero.

No need to open the
door, Commander.

In my first experiment, I
am returning you to Alpha.

- John, it's all right.

You're safe now.

You've been
unconscious for two days.

- The others?

- Carter and I made it through
all right, but Sandra's dead.

- Sandra?

- Mm-hmm.

Helena did everything
she could to save her,

but it meant nothing.

The whole thing is ridiculous.

I mean, we're always
gonna die slowly, one by one.

It's no use.

- Come on, Victor.

Look, I feel the same
way as you about Sandra.

But we all know that death's
a way of life with us now.

- Don't philosophize, John.

Not with me.

I'm not talking about Sandra!

I'm talking about everything!

When are we gonna
stop kidding ourselves?

We're never gonna
get off this rock.

This is our tomb.

We walk about here
breathing, but we're not living.

We're existing.

I tell you, I've had
about enough of it.

I wanna live like a
human being again.

- We all do, Victor.

- Oh, no.

Not you.

You're the big man around here.

How does it feel to play
God every day, huh?

Where are you going?

- I want to talk to Paul.

What for?

Listen, we don't
have a chance here.

- If you want to check
yourself out, that's your affair.

Open any air lock.

- No!

I want to live!

Listen, all those
planets out there,

they're not all dead, you know.

One of them is alive.

Alive!

We can go there, a few of us.

We can start living again.

Don't be a damn fool!

Life is waiting for us, John.

Let's take it.

- That's just
another way to die.

Paul!

- Commander, you
should've listened to Victor.

- Raan!

I'm not an
experiment, I'm a man!

I'm a man!

Raan!

Let go!

No!

Victor?

Help me, Victor.

Help me.

Victor, help me!

Help me, Victor!

Victor, help me!

Victor!

Help me, Victor!

Help me!

Help me.

Victor!

- His fear of my experiment
manifested itself in strange,

repulsive creatures who
appeared real and alive to him.

But it's his violence I
find most fascinating.

- I find violence
very disturbing.

- It is frightening.

Had I been present
when he realized

Professor Bergman
was merely an image,

I do believe he would
have taken my life.

I can see how the ancient
books do not exaggerate.

Murder, war, torture.

Violence beyond description
is a way of life for Earth man.

- Perhaps he will
prove too dangerous.

He may truly kill one of us.

You should neutralize his mind.

You may go too far.

- No.

I can create situations for him,

but his reactions must be true

and his choice of
dealing with them free.

Otherwise, there'd be no
point in making the experiment.

He must neutralize his own mind.

Conquer his violence.

- There were four
of us in that crash.

Three'll survive and John.

Why him?

Why couldn't it be
me, or Alan, or Sandra?

- It may simply be
John's time to die.

- Commander.

It was very wise to realize
that your friend was not real,

but I do not see how you knew.

- Victor would never
give up on himself.

I wanted him to be real.

Otherwise, I would
have seen through

your father's
deception much sooner.

- We are incapable of deception.

- Every scientist
makes that claim.

The end justifies the means.

- I am too young to understand
my father's reasoning,

but I know his intention
was not to deceive you.

We Zennites are born
free of negative emotions,

thereby bringing us
tranquility and peace.

You see, however, it does
not come easily or swiftly.

- You're lucky.

Or are you?

Without feeling hate, one
cannot feel the joy of love.

- We feel such joy because
we understand hate.

It is born of fear
and we fear nothing.

- Except death.

- We do not believe in death.

Only in the
continuing flow of life.

Therefore, your refusing food,

your choice to starve yourself,
is incomprehensible to me.

- If I were to take you away
from here against your will,

you'd understand.

- If you were to remain
here of your own free will,

you also would understand.

- You clumsy fool!

Is it so difficult to
carry a tray of coffee?

- That's enough, Kano.

- This inefficient.

- I said, that's enough!

- Are you all right, June?

- Yes.

- Don't ever do that again.

- You're not in
command here yet.

- Right now I'm off duty.

So are you.

- Paul.

- Everyone back
to their stations.

- Raise it three points.

- That could kill him.

- Three points.

That's enough.

- Have you got him?

- Only just.

- As a scientist, I owe it to
humanity to learn all I can.

It is the only way to help man.

To bring him closer
to his true destiny.

- But you can learn
nothing from the commander

because whatever image
you present to him is unreal.

So that his reaction, though
honest, is unreal as well.

To explore our own minds
and the mind of the universe

for knowledge and
understanding, that is a good thing.

But John Koenig
is neither of these.

He's an individual.

His blood is our blood.

We have no right to exploit him.

- Do you wish me
to send him back?

- I don't know.

It's all so confusing.

- I was just thinking of you.

- I know.

- You're able to project
music with your mind?

- You like it?

- It's beautiful, but so sad.

I didn't think
sadness existed here.

- It does.

It does.

- Tell me what's troubling you.

You know I can't read your mind.

- I want you to stay.

I want you to stay with me.

Dr. Russell.

You must not let him die.

- A machine is keeping John
alive, not himself, not me.

- What difference does it make?

He is still alive.

- John is already dead.

His body is dead and his mind.

I can't deceive
myself any longer.

- Wait.

Please, wait a while longer.

- Look, there are wonders out
there beyond your imagination.

Everything you've
wished for on Earth.

The good things, I offer you.

A world without fear.

A world without fear.

Not your world, Commander.

- It will be, Father.

We are to be united as one.

- That is impossible.

- But you have
taught me that love

is the bridge
between all worlds.

- Only when you
know how to cross it.

You have yet to learn the way.

Do you presume that you can span

two million years of evolution?

- I can try.

I've made my choice.

I want to stay here with Vana.

- No one's being
callous, just realistic.

The entire base is pulling
for the commander to make it.

But you can see the
effect it's having on people.

Kano losing his
temper, me as well.

The security men have
broken up three brawls already.

- That is not the point!

- That is precisely
the point, Alan.

We need a leader,
even if it's just a name.

If John lives, well that's fine.

Even if he doesn't,
people will adjust.

It's the not knowing that's
getting everybody down.

- And who's going
to take over, you?

You, Paul?

Kano?

The man in the moon, huh?

Koenig is still breathing!

And while he is, for my money,
he is still the commander.

- You're beautiful.

- I think this is also
a friend of yours.

No.

No.

- The commander does
not believe you are real.

I have instilled the
facts into her mind.

Where she is and the
situation, but not her part in it.

That I leave to you.

- It is true, Commander.

I know you have decided
not to return to Alpha.

- Father, did you have
to bring Sandra here?

- You see?

My daughter believes
your friend is real.

- She trusts you,

I don't.

- Very well, Commander Koenig.

Let me offer some proof.

There is my image of Sandra.

And my image of you.

However, your image
on Alpha is dying.

Even I cannot
sustain it indefinitely.

Only one of you will survive.

- Dr. Russell is
going to disconnect

your life support system.

She believes you are dead.

Now I can tell her.

- No.

You will not remember seeing
the commander alive and well.

The decision still
belongs to Dr. Russell.

I cannot influence that
decision in any way.

No one can.

- You brought
Victor's image here.

Why not Sandra's?

- Sandra is real.

I understand you not believing
her because of my father.

Can you not believe me?

- I believe you.

- Excellent.

Which world do you choose now?

Come, Vana.

We should allow our guests
a moment to themselves.

- It is like a dream.

It's not a dream, Sandra.

- There's nothing more
you can do for him.

- There is one thing.

- Vana.

- Sandra has
convinced you to return.

- No, Vana.

Your father only
made me face the truth

by bringing Sandra here.

I can't stay knowing my place

is with my own
people in my own time.

- I will come with you.

I'm already part of your
world as you're a part of mine.

- No, it's the same
for you, Vana.

The Zennites are your
people and this is your time.

You and I can never become one.

In time, you'll understand.

- What do I do till then?

At this moment, all I
understand is my love for you.

I do not want you to leave me.

- Then cross the bridge
between your world and mine.

- I do not know how.

- With your mind
and with your heart.

As long as you think
of me and feel for me,

I'll be with you.

- I will try.

I will try.

Do not forget me.

Do not forget me.

- Are you sure?

I have to, Bob.

Leave it alone, Dr. Russell.

Alan, you don't understand!

You're not gonna kill him.

Carter, take it easy.

- Mathias.

- Take it easy, Carter.

- Security to Diagnostic.

Security to Diagnostic.

- You're not gonna kill him.

- Although the
experiment was a failure,

I did learn something from
Earth man after all, so did Vana.

- Perhaps Vana was the true
reason you brought me here.

- Perhaps it was.

Please, take my
gratitude with you.

- I'll be taking much more.

- Something you learned, I hope.

- Not exactly.

I still believe it's more
important to feel than to think.

- It is the perfect
balance between the two

that must be achieved.

Both our worlds
have yet to learn how.

But now you must hurry.

There's not much
of your time left.

Until tomorrow, John Koenig.

Until tomorrow.

- Helena.

Have I been gone long?

- Not long.
