Moonbase Alpha status report.

892 days after
leaving Earth's orbit.

Dr. Helena Russell recording.

We have just passed
through a space storm,

duration, 42 days.

Our sensors have picked
up a medium size planet

in the north quadrant.

Commander Koenig
is exploring the planet.

The surface is
rich in vegetation.

It is our hope that it
might prove habitable.

- Maya?

Sensor reading?

- Surface temperature, 73
degrees, atmosphere, breathable.

- Alright, let's put it down.

- Okay.

Oxygen leak life support system.

- Take over, Tony.

- Aye.

- Four hours
until critical level.

- Do we abort?

- No.

You go back to Alpha,
pick up another Eagle.

Maya and I will have
completed our survey

by the time you get back.

- Check.

- Moonbase Alpha to
Commander Koenig, go ahead.

- Eagle One has developed
a malfunction and is

returning to Alpha.

Maya and I will continue
our survey until Tony returns

and picks us up.

Anything we can do, commander?

- Just stay in touch.

We'll contact you
every 30 minutes

to make sure you're alright.

- We'll take to you
in half an hour, out.

- They're edible.

- Great.

Cannibals, murderers.

You will be punished

as cannibals and murders
deserved to be punished.

- Koenig to Alpha, Koenig
to Alpha, come in Alpha.

Koenig to Moonbase
Alpha, come in Alpha.

Murder, you have
your last communication

with Alpha.

- Who are you?

We are the judges of Luton.

- What is the crime?

You destroyed life
forms on this planet.

- We picked a flower
and ate some berries.

That is your crime.

You killed members
of our society.

- We didn't realize.

But we are merciful
even to criminals

of such magnitude.

- Please believe us, if
we committed a crime,

it was out of ignorance.

You will be given
a chance to prove

your innocent intent.

These are your adversaries.

They too are criminals from
space who violated our laws.

They too claim innocence
due to ignorance.

Your innocence will be
tested in the crucible of combat.

The survivors will be
given their freedom.

- Move.

Back.

Ah hah.

- This I useless,
we'll need a weapon.

- If we break a
branch or injure a tree,

they'll condemn us
without a chance.

- Yeah, we better not get
hungry before this over.

Come on.

Come on.

These would make
good arrowheads.

- Arrowheads?

- Yeah, American Indians
used arrow and bows.

- Oh.

- We can probably make a
bow, but we need some string.

I bet we can make a spear.

- Must we kill them?

- Maya, yes if we
want to survive.

- Well, if we reveal ourselves,
it's a sign of good faith.

It's obvious we
mean them no harm.

- You've got a point.

- We'll make a contact.

- Yes, but first, let's
make sure we've got some

security between them and us.

Like a canyon.

They're tracking us.

Stay on hard ground.

He can tear a mountain
apart with his bare hands.

You're right, Maya, I'd
rather them as a friend

then as an enemy.

Hello, hello.

We don't wanna fight with you.

We wanna be friends.

But he doesn't.

We're not your enemy.

- Moonbase Alpha
to Command Koenig.

Moonbase Alpha
to Command Koenig.

Moonbase Alpha
to Command Koenig.

Eagle One requesting
clearance for touchdown.

- Eagle One, you're
cleared for touchdown.

Thanks, Alpha.

Do you have another
Eagle standing by for me?

- Ready for liftoff
as soon as you clear

the launchpad, Tony.

Thanks, Helena.

- Moonbase Alpha
to Command Koenig.

Moonbase Alpha
to Command Koenig.

- Yasko, get that
planet on the screen.

Where is it?

It should be there.

- It's got to be.

Check your scanners.

- Not registering.

- The sensors are
giving no readings.

- Eagle Four ready for liftoff.

Abort Eagle Four, abort.

- What?

- Abort.

- I've gotta get the
commander off that planet.

- Tony, we don't know
where that planet is.

- They don't like the water.

- Maybe they can't swim.

Stay here.

Listen to me.

Please, listen to me.

We've no reason to fight.

Don't let them make
us kill each other.

Listen, to me.

- Even if they can't
understand us,

they must know we want to talk.

Why won't they talk?

- Maybe it's in their
nature to kill, not talk.

Well, that river gives us
some breathing space.

Maybe they're leaving.

- No, just trying to
figure out a way across.

Well, it'll be awhile
before they catch up to us.

We've gotta find someway
to defend ourselves.

What is it, commander?

- Haven't noticed
any live animals.

Those vines look like they
have a strangle hold on that one.

- The plant killed the animal?

- Let's just say it
eliminated a natural enemy.

Koenig to Alpha.

Koenig to Moonbase
Alpha, come in Alpha.

Commander Koenig,
you waste valuable time.

Devote yourselves
to saving your lives.

- Why must we kill
to save our lives?

Because those are
the rules of Luton.

- We will not submit
to those rules.

They're cruel and vicious.

Cruel, vicious?

We pride ourselves on
our justice, on our fairness.

As proof of our fairness, we
have given your adversaries

abilities to match yours.

Otherwise, the contest
would be too one sided.

- We will not fight.

We will not submit
to those rules.

Kill or die.

- I thought they
were against killing?

- Obviously animals are a
lower form of life on this planet.

If we all kill each
other, it's acceptable.

- I wonder what abilities
they gave our adversaries.

- Three against two
aren't having enough odds?

- Maybe a lion or a tiger
might even out the odds.

- No, Maya, he'd tear you
apart if he got close enough

no matter what form you took.

But wait, maybe we
could use your abilities

to give us an edge?

That way we'd know
where they are at all times.

Don't stay at any
one place too long.

- Maya, stop him, stop him.

Stop him, we must talk to him.

- Come back, come
back, we won't hurt you.

Your shoulder.

Come on, sit down.

Come on.

- Well, now we know the
abilities the judges of Luton

gave to two of them.

- Hmm, one they gave the
strength to tear mountains apart

and the other, they
made a transport.

- Yeah, one second,
the other side of the river,

the next second, this side.

If he could transport, why
didn't he do it again to escape?

- Perhaps they're
only permitted to

use their abilities once.

- Yeah, it could be.

Anyway, thanks.

- Nothing to thank me for.

- Alright, then I thank the
bird for its key eyesight.

And the lion for
its terrible roar.

Oh.

- Oh I'm sorry but I've
got to stop the bleeding.

- Don't look so sad, it
doesn't hurt that much.

- Be careful when you move.

- Okay mom.

I won't get it infected and
I won't get any dirt in it.

- What you need is some rest.

- Right, and some
peace and quiet.

I'm afraid we're not
gonna get much of that.

We'd better take that with us.

Give it to me.

- It's too heavy for you.

- Don't waste time arguing.

Okay.

Eagle Four to command center.

- Go ahead, Tony.

- I'm getting no
reading on my sensors.

That was expected, wasn't it?

- Well, how about yours?

- Still negative.

And I still think you're
out of your mind.

- When I approach the
planet or at least when I think

I'm in the area of the
planet, I'll check in.

Be careful, Tony.

- Oh you never know,
I might even be lucky

and make visual
contact when I get there.

- You should have
a co-pilot with you.

- I'm not letting anybody
else share this risk, Helena.

- Remember, you said you'd
give yourself a good margin

for safety.

- What I'm remembering
is that I told John and Maya

I'd be write back for them.

- Maya, we'd better
get moving again.

- You'd better rest.

- We can't stray too far from
where the Eagle touched down.

When it comes back,
we've gotta be there.

- You're getting weaker.

What you need is
some nourishment.

- Oh sure, how about
some pheasant under glass,

asparagus hollandaise,
topped off with chocolate mousse

and coffee espresso, hmm.

- Some broth, maybe
chicken, rabbit, beef.

- Sure, all we need for
that are the ingredients.

And on this planet, there are
no such ingredients anymore.

- Well, maybe they didn't
kill off all the animals.

Not every animal
is a plant eater.

- Have you seen any around?

The only bird we saw was you.

If you take another form,

don't stay in any
one place too long.

We mustn't give them
a chance to get at you.

We also need more weapons.

That lance isn't
gonna be enough.

Company, huh?

- Yeah.

Careful.

Oh you can't go on.

- Who says I can't?

- Any questions?

- Yeah.

Why'd I get you into this?

Better check out the area.

- Uh huh.

There's a long line
of animal skeletons

all along the rim.

Looks like they're in formation.

- Battle formation.

Could be that this
is where the animals

made their last stand.

The animals wipe out all
the plant life in that area

to protect their rear.

Could you imagine the
battle that must have

taken place on
the rim of this cliff?

- And the animals lost.

- Yeah.

Better check out our
friends below, huh.

- Yeah.

There's nothing I
could see from here.

- Why don't you take
a closer look, huh?

- Right.

You were supposed to be resting.

- Yeah, I will as
soon as I finish this.

I had a great birds
eye of the valley

but I only saw one of them.

I'd sure like to know
where the one is.

On the valley floor
somewhere I imagine.

What are you making?

- It's a bolo.

In ancient times on
Earth, bush natives

invented a very
effective weapon.

- A bolo.

Can I help?

- Yeah, you can get some
more walks about this size.

No, make them a little
bigger, and around.

- Are you alright?

- Well it only
hurts when I laugh.

- Hmm?

- It's an old Earth joke.

- It's not funny.

- Well it was on Earth.

- 50 years ago.

- Okay, then tell me
some old Psychon jokes.

I'm sorry Maya, I didn't mean
to bring up sad memories.

- The memories aren't
sad, except at the end.

Psychon was a happy place.

That's why most of
us wouldn't leave it

even when we knew
we faced disaster.

- Your brother left.

- My brother like
Mentor, my father,

was on Psychon's
High Scientific Council.

He knew there was no hope
when our planet began to boil.

So, my brother and a
thousand others went off

into unchartered space.

Preferring to take their
chances than face sure death.

- Did they find another planet?

- We never heard from him again.

Or any of the others
who build spaceships after

that and left.

As Psychon's
temperature kept rising.

- If the breakup of the
planet was inevitable,

why didn't Mentor leave?

- My father's dream
was to restore Psychon,

to make it a beautiful
planet it once was.

Nobody shared his dream.

They all left.

Preferring to take their
chances in the unknown.

- But if every scientist on
Psychon knew it was coming,

why did Mentor
remain so stubborn?

- He wasn't only
stubborn, he was in love.

My mother's tomb was on
Psychon and he wouldn't leave her.

- What about you?

- Oh he tried to make
me go, but I wouldn't.

I couldn't let him stay alone.

- He should have made you go.

- You don't understand.

He really believed he
could perform the miracle

of restoring Psychon.

Oh and I got caught
up on that dream.

Mentor was a great scientist.

And he was my father.

I knew he could do anything.

I don't see anything.

Yeah.

- Must you keep at it?

- Fire power, Maya.

In a combat situation,
there's nothing as persuasive

as fire power.

- What about you, commander?

Did you have any brothers?

Sisters, mother, father?

You had nobody?

- I had a wife.

- Had?

- Weren't there any
wars on Psychon?

- No, unlike your planet,
we were all of one race.

One religion, one government.

Our planet was so rich in
resources, that there was

no separation of classes.

- In 1987, all the hatreds
on earth between races,

classes, and religions
all came to a head.

The war was global and awful.

It was finally the war to end
all wars because the survivors

realized that if there
was another one,

it would be the end of humanity.

- You mean people killed people

just because they were
different from each other?

That's disgusting.

- The one virtue of that war,

if war can have a virtue,

is that prejudice was wiped out.

People realized that if
they were going to survive,

they would have
to work together,

accept each other
for what they were.

So, we began to create a
brand new wonderful civilization.

But it was too late for my wife.

She was a casualty of that war.

- What was she like?

- She was like Helena.

- A weapon.

- It's just like ours.

- He's down there then.

- Careful, he
knows we're alerted.

- His weapon is still
there but I don't see him.

He's gotta be down there.

I don't see him anywhere.

- Wind's blowing this direction.

Good.

Come on, come
on let's move back.

If my hunch is right,
we've just discovered the

third ability given them
by the judges of Luton.

We may not be able to see
him, but he's up here somewhere.

Maya, you could
pick up his scent.

Go find him, Maya.

- Eagle Four to Alpha,
Eagle Four to Alpha.

- Alpha to Eagle
Four, go ahead, Tony.

I'm close to the planet
or where it should be.

- You don't have
visual, can you see it?

- Nope.

But I do have you
on the monitor.

Do you have me on the screen?

- Yes.

How about the planet?

- We'll try again.

Yasko.

Tony, we can't get
a fix on that planet

and you can't stay
out there forever.

- Oh yes I can.

Send another Eagle to refuel me.

- It's alright, it's alright.

It's alright, shh, hey.

Oh, are you better now?

- What'd I do, pass out?

- No, you fell asleep.

- As long as I
was only delirious.

I'd hate to have recurring
nightmares like that again.

- Alright, if it'll make you
happy, you were delirious.

- That bad huh?

- It has to be cleaned.

I've got to find some water.

- Ahh.

- Judges of Luton, free her
and I will go down to him.

We will not interfere.

- I will let him kill me.

No.

- She can keep that
form for only an hour.

She will be crushed.

Free her and he could kill me.

We cannot.

You're the judges of
Luton, you can do anything.

It is against the
rules of Luton.

- Wait, please wait, wait.

- Eagle Four to commander
center, refueling Eagle

coming alongside.

- Refueling Eagle
is carrying relief pilot.

- I don't wanna relief
pilot, all I want is refueling.

- Don't be stubborn, Tony,
let your relief takeover.

- No way Helena, one
of us taking this risk

is all that Alpha can afford.

- Tony, according to our
computer, you're coming very

close to our recorder
position of that planet.

- According to my instruments,
I'm uncomfortably close.

- That's what I said, too close.

- I'm still hoping for a visual.

- Give yourself more room, Tony.

You know the slightest
miscalculation, you'll crash.

- Well, I'm not in the mood
for miscalculations, Helena.

How long do you
expect to stay there?

- Forever if I have to.

- We're fools if we fight.

- I don't want to
kill you but I must.

- You, you understand me.

- It pleases the judges of
Luton to let us communicate

at the moment of combat.

- Let her out of the cage.

- She'll be crushed.

- It is regrettable but
necessary that you both die

so that I may live.

- Maya.

Kill, kill.

Kill and you will be freed.

- No, I will not kill.

Kill the criminal that
committed murder on Luton.

Kill.

- No, you are the criminals.

You could have stopped us
before tore up those plants

and destroyed flowers.

You have defeated
the enemy, you are free.

- You wanna see things die.

You would like
everything here to die,

to satisfy your lust for death.

Hear me, citizens.

Listen to me.

Go, go.

You are free.

- I've checked and
I've rechecked, Alpha.

According to my inboard
computer, I'm at the planet

and yet, nothing.

Whew, okay Alpha,
I found the planet.

- John and Maya, see
if you can get through.

- Moonbase Alpha to
Commander Koenig.

Moonbase Alpha to
Commander Koenig.

- They'll letting
Alpha make contact.

- Anything to get rid of us
before we start an uprising.

Moonbase Alpha to
Commander Koenig.

Moonbase Alpha,
this is Maya, go ahead.

- Eagle Four is ready
to touchdown if you will

give your position.

- No need, we
have visual contact.

- Where did that come from?

- Hydroponics.

- Tony gave them to me.

He thought that might
cheer me up after our ordeal.

- So, he gave you a plant.

Well, nobody can say
that Tony does not have a

sense of humor.

- I think Tony needs to have
a sense of humor retooled.

- Oh I thought it
was a nice gesture.

- I thought so too.

- He could have given you a
bucket of his abominable beer.

They're quite nice.

- Do you want one Helena?

- I'd like one.

- Hold it, do me a favor.

While I'm around,
never pick a flower.

Back to hydroponic.
