Moonbase Alpha status report.

2306 days after
leaving Earth orbit,

Doctor Helena Russell recording.

Five days ago, we detected
two planets in our East quadrant,

which may be capable
of supporting life.

Commander John Koenig
has lifted off in Eagle One

on a reconnaissance mission.

With him is Blake Maine,
of the medical rescue team.

Sensor reads vegetation.

How are the life forms?

Through the clouds, commander.

That looks like
a city down there.

Yeah, it is a city.

Buildings, streets, some
form of transportation system.

And little colored dots
which could be human beings.

- Check the atmosphere.

- Atmosphere, nitrogen,
hydrogen, oxygen.

Breathable.

- Let's take a look.

- I'm picking up
life form signals.

But it's in a clearing,
some miles north

of what seems to be the city.

- That's all right,
home in on that signal.

All right, let's set her
down in that clearing.

- Commander.

Life form signal's cut out.

- Let's find out why.

What have we got here?

Dead?

- No life signs, no wounds.

No injuries,
internal or external.

Body perfectly preserved,
time of death indeterminate.

- Cause of death?

- That's a good question.

- Any theories Blake?

- Tough to diagnose, Ed.

Could have been a sonic
beam, a high potency ray,

something that would
have killed instantly.

- Can you give me a
close-up of one of the victims?

Closer.

Whatever it was, it hit
the central nervous system.

It must have caused
tremendous pressure

to explode those blood vessels.

Form of nerve gas,

a lethal pathogen that
invaded their bodies,

or bacteria released
in the atmosphere.

No, don't touch him!

Don't go near him!

He could be contagious.

Get off, get off that planet.

- The city too, everybody
on that planet is dead.

If it was a nerve
killing pathogen,

our systems must have
a built in immunity to it.

- Sensor readings show
satellite of moon over planet

has same atmosphere, vegetation.

- Let's make a
pass over that moon

and see what else
we can pick up.

- We'll track you, Eagle One.

Over and out.

- Let's take a closer
look at that surface.

- Malfunction, main drive!

- Go to auxiliary.

- Malfunction secondary drive!

- Emergency booster drive.

- It's not functioning.

- Koenig to Moonbase Alpha.

Eagle One to Moonbase Alpha!

We're out of control!

Koenig to Moonbase Alpha.

Repeat, out of-

- Alpha to Eagle One.

Come in Eagle One.

- I want the exact
permutation of time, distance

and location of Eagle
One's last transmission.

Call it in to me on Eagle Four.

- Bill!

I can do better
if I was with you.

- Retro rockets?

- Malfunctioning.

- Retros functioning!

Vertical process, maximum drive!

Come on, let's get out of here!

This thing's liable to blow!

- And I must
submit to you, Elizia,

that the only crime
for which the prisoner

can justly be accused, is his
use of the freedom of speech.

To strip a being of this right,

be he incarcerated here
on the penal planet of Entra

or be he a free man on
the mother planet of Ellna,

is to destroy one of
the basic principles

for which civilizations of
all galaxies have fought.

If you condemn the prisoner,

then you condemn
all life, everywhere.

- I am touched by
your eloquence, Crael.

And I too, as mistress of
Entra, embrace one's right

to the freedom of speech.

I have made this clear to you

and to every prisoner who
has ever been sentenced

to Entra from our mother planet.

But I have also heard
testimony from others.

Of how the prisoner
arranged secret meetings.

Tried to stir this
colony to insurrection.

- No, not true!

- To overthrow the
forces of authority.

And so long as I
am the ruling force,

I will not tolerate any abuse
of the freedom of speech.

Not by anyone.

- The alien's weapon.

- And the alien?

- In security ward,
with the interrogator.

- You shall be rewarded

for your capture
of the alien, Sares.

- Thank you.

- What of the hunt?

The prisoner?

- He almost made
the sanctuary column.

- Almost.

Dead?

- Unconscious.

Stunned.

- The hunt for him.

- That's inhuman!

- Inhuman?

A chance for freedom
to return to Ellna?

- One out of a hundred
survive the hunt.

I call that inhuman.

- Offer any one of them the
challenge and none will refuse.

They all want the
chance to go home.

Well, who is he?

- Subject's named John Koenig,

commander of Moonbase Alpha.

Where and what
is Moonbase Alpha?

- Moonbase Alpha was a
satellite of a planet called Earth.

It broke out of orbit
and is floating in space.

There are 298 people aboard.

He was caught in our
atmospheric force field.

He sent a message and his
people will be searching for him.

- Well, they can have him.

- He knows, he
has been to Ellna.

He knows that
everybody there is dead.

That everybody sent there dies.

- Extract everything
from his brain.

- That might kill him.

- Oh well, we'll give
him a handsome funeral.

- We're approaching the quadrant

of the commander's last message.

- Try to pick up Eagle
One on your sensors.

- You have been a
model prisoner, Baron

and have earned the right
to return to our home planet.

One year off for good behavior.

See Crael?

There is justice
when one earns it.

Step into the transbeamer.

Goodbye.

- Goodbye, Baron.

- Whenever you are
ready, you may activate.

- May I speak, Elizia?

- To deny you that would be

to deny you the freedom
of speech, would it not?

- We have released
many prisoners.

Not only have we never
heard from them again,

but Ellna has stopped
beaming up any new prisoners.

- The acts of crime

for being sent to Entra
must have dropped.

- I'm not the only one to ask.

I speak for many others.

- Everyone listens to the
weekly reports beamed here.

They have news from
their home, their families.

What is there to wonder about?

- Hearing news is
not seeing news.

There was a time when a man

could see his
wife on the screen.

And his children.

Not anymore.

- You prisoners are
political troublemakers.

It's your nature to be
discontent, to cause trouble.

- We cause no more trouble.

You've beaten us down,
siphoned the militancy out of us.

- It's not torture that has
neutralized your militancy.

It's the yearning in all of you

to leave this sterile satellite

and return to our
beautiful Ellna.

- The yearning very
few of us have realized.

- There are two
ways to realize it.

Complete the term of
imprisonment on good behavior,

or to beat the hunt.

- I applaud you for your
understanding of human rights.

- How fortunate that you never
cease to amuse me, Crael.

- I put his thoughts
on the screen for you.

- Spacecraft engineering.

Friends.

Let us observe his friends.

A metamorph.

He's very attractive.

This one, I find
especially appealing.

Does this species know passion?

Yes, very interesting.

- Which, his spacecraft,
his friends or his romances?

- Have you taped his brain
for medical knowledge?

Does he know how
to produce immunity

to the nerve bacteria
on the home planet?

Why didn't he die?

- I don't know yet.

I can't tell how much he knows.

His brain resists
certain questions.

He has a strong will.

- Weaken it.

- His brain composition differs
from ours in certain areas.

- A leader treats
people as equals.

Bends to their will on occasion.

- So should we all, on occasion.

- Meaning what?

- Unrest.

The prisoners are
beginning to wonder

about things on
their home planet.

- You're beginning
to sound like Crael.

- Tell them the
truth now about Ellna

and they might understand.

- They will become ungovernable.

- They will learn
the truth someday.

- If they learn the truth,
then we're all doomed.

I'm our barrier
against disaster.

- He has seen our home planet.

He will tell them.

- They won't believe him.

Their minds have been
programmed to think my way.

- If they break through
that programming-

- I fear nothing.

My guards are loyal to me.

Cease interrogation.

Send him to Block B,

but do nothing to disfigure him.

- Where are you from, alien?

- I'm from Moonbase Alpha.

- Never heard of it.

- My Eagle, my spacecraft,
crashed on your planet.

- Elizia never tires
of sending spies.

- Now wait a minute,
nobody sent me!

- Now you tell her we're
not plotting an insurrection.

- All we plan is how
to outwit the hunters.

That kind of
plotting is permitted.

- The hunt.

You mean, you want to be hunted?

- Well, that's right, spy,
alien, whatever you are.

We volunteer for the hunt.

If we reach the
sanctuary column,

without being killed
first, we get to go free.

To go home!

- You mean, down there?

- To Ellna, home planet.

- Everybody's dead down there.

- You liar!

- Now wait a
minute, I was there.

I saw all the people.

All of them are dead.

- But my family's down there!

- She sent you to lie!

- Now hold it!

Now hold it, stop!

Listen to me, I
was on that planet.

I saw a man transported there.

He died, instantly.

- What killed him?

- What killed all of them
and how come you didn't die?

- I don't know what killed them.

Maybe some sort of a plague.

And I don't know
why I didn't die.

Maybe, maybe I have
some sort of immunity.

Attention all prisoners.

Attention all prisoners.

This is your weekly
news from home planet.

The wife of prisoner
Braddock gave birth to a son

at midtime on solar
day, both are doing well.

Congratulations
Prisoner Braddock.

There was a large party
given by family and friends

of Stronk Baron,
celebrating his beam back

from the penal colony at Entra.

- So, everyone is
dead on home planet.

- I don't understand,
I know what I saw.

- And poor old Baron died

the minute he stepped
out of the transbeamer.

But only you've
got immunity, spy.

I wonder how immune you'll
be to a noose around your neck.

- You've been brainwashed.

They're all dead down there!

Thanks.

- Well, it would have
been such a waste.

- I agree.

- I'm Elizia, overseer
of this penal colony.

- Elizia, they thought you
sent me up here to spy on them.

- Which only goes to
prove my contention,

that prisoners who try
to think are dangerous.

- If you'll permit me, I'd like
to try to contact my base.

Have someone
come and pick me up.

- I cannot allow any
aliens to land here.

- I don't understand.

We're no threat to you.

My name is John Koenig, I'm
commander of Moonbase Alpha.

- Yes, I know about you.

We've probed your brain.

- ETA precisely three hours.

- You say you probed my brain.

Then you know of course you
won't be able to keep me here.

- You overestimate yourself.

- My people know where
I am, they'll come for me.

- Why should you wish
to rush from my presence?

Stay with me.

You will experience
undreamed of pleasure.

Well, until I tire of you.

- What's your boredom quotient?

- Well that would be
determined by you.

- Alien spaceship is
within our outer quadrant,

on a direct course for us.

- Put him behind
the screening panel.

- Sensors pinpoint
flight of wreckage

at left zero eight
three degrees.

- Got it, zero eight three.

You are approaching
the penal colony of Entra.

Stay clear, you are
in danger, stay clear.

- Our scanner shows the
wreckage of one of our spacecraft.

We request permission to land.

Permission refused,

no ship is permitted
to land on this planet.

- Two of our
pilots were in that.

- They died in the crash.

- Then we must land to return
them to Moonbase Alpha.

Your ship will be unable

to penetrate our defense shield.

- We're coming in to land.

Shooting, if we have to.

- Do they have that capability?

- We're being scanned.

- They carry missiles,

but not powerful enough to
penetrate our defense shield.

- If you try to come through
our defensive screen,

you electronic
systems will burn out.

- We've contacted our base,
they know we intend to land.

If we don't make it, Alpha will
send more powerful weapons

to blast your planet.

- Your philosophy will
not permit you to do that.

- Try us, you have
one minute to decide.

- You lied!

- No, I didn't!

- You said it was not in your
character to commit violence.

- We're not like you, we do
not commit mindless violence.

- You do deprive
yourselves of pleasure.

- One minute.

- You okay?

You are cleared to land.

Go on automatic,
our controller will see

that you touch down safely.

- Will they find out?

- They will only find
evidence of two deaths.

The one who has already died,

and his.

- The boots are important

cause we need
the footprints, right?

Now go straight ahead.

- Until the fence, that's it?

- To the fence, into the middle.

What's the matter?

- Not that I don't trust
you, but I have my rights,

and one of them
is to stay alive.

- But the fence is switched off.

Just go into the middle
and take your clothes off.

- You first.

- Elizia?

Yes, Crael?

- You promised
you wouldn't do this.

It's worse than the hunt.

- The choice between a promise
and self-preservation, Crael.

What choice would you have made?

As you said, how could I
risk all I have worked for?

- Fraser!

Fraser!

Alibe!

Can you hear-

- I am Elizia, keeper of
the penal colony of Entra.

I trust you had a
smooth landing.

- Very smooth, thanks
to your controller.

I'm Fraser, of Moonbase Alpha.

- Alibe, communications
officer, Moonbase Alpha.

- This is my head of security,
we have refreshments waiting.

- Thanks, but we'd like to get

to the scene of the crash
as quickly as possible.

- Under the circumstances,

refreshments are
not our top priority.

- Oh no, of course
not, I do understand.

- The planet
section isn't totaled.

They survived!

- Yes they did
survive the crash.

But unfortunately, after
your spaceship crashed,

and before we could reach them,

they stumbled into one
of our boundary defenses.

- And walked into it here.

As you can see, Commander
Koenig's footprints go to here.

- The transbeamer.

The magic door
to the home planet.

Taming it is the dream
of every prisoner on Entra.

- A magic door to certain death.

- A failing of your
race is your inability

to see the positive
in the negative.

- Doublethink.

- Doublethink?

- Your game with words.

On my planet we
call it doublethink.

- Oh, but you're on my planet,

and I call it hope.

- Hope?

What kind of hope
ends in extinction?

- Philosophical hope.

Psychological hope.

The hope without which there
would be nothing but despair.

The hope that makes them
eager to be the quarry in the hunt.

The hope that they will
reach the sanctuary column

before they are taken.

- And what is the prize?

To enter the transbeamer?

So you can send them home?

- They send themselves.

- Another example
of doublethink.

- Similar to your situation.

You're alive but your people

are convinced that you are dead.

And remaining alive is dependent

on your entertainment quotient.

You have a half-life until
you irritate or bore me.

- This promises to be more
enjoyable than I had anticipated.

- In front of an audience?

- Of course.

No.

Let him get a good start.

After all, we always give
the hunted a fair chance.

And when he is cornered,
he must not die quickly.

He must suffer
more than an entrant.

He's an alien who's shown
contempt for our culture

and our authority.

After him then, for
the glory of Entra

and rewards beyond your dreams.

- Koenig to Moonbase Alpha.

Eagle One to Moonbase Alpha.

Eagle One to Moonbase
Alpha, are you receiving me?

- No communication can
penetrate the defense shield

surrounding this satellite.

It has been made harmless.

- There's no use trying
to contact your people.

Your signal cannot get
through our defense shield.

- He is walking in the
direction of the main complex.

- Interrogator?

The alien is returning
to our custody.

Permit no one to
interfere with his progress.

- We will wait,
until Elizia arrives.

- Agreed.

Mind if I wait over here?

- No, you may not.

Remain where you are.

- I'm just making
it more convenient

for Elizia to transport me.

- Transportation is for
those who outwit the hunters.

- And you have not.

- What's more important
Elizia, is I've outwitted you.

- If you attempt to
activate the transbeamer,

you will be disintegrated.

- Yes, I will be.

But if she fires, she'll also
disintegrate this transbeamer

and none of you will
ever see home again.

- Wait, Elizia.

If there's no hope
for the prisoners,

we will be unable
to control them.

- We will find another way.

- But what about us?

Some of us are
competing our tour of duty.

We wait to go home.

- The alien is
full of surprises.

- Yes, Crael.

He's treacherous and devious.

Drag him out of the transbeamer.

- Hear me first.

There is talk
amongst the prisoners

that the alien claimed
all are dead on Ellna.

Is that so, alien?

- Yes, that's true.

Everybody on Ellna is dead.

- No!

Elizia knows it, but
she's lied to you.

- He lies.

If everyone were dead on Ellna,

why would he want to go there?

Take him.

- Wait.

Wouldn't you prefer
death to torture?

To Elizia's brand of torture.

- Sares, order your
guards to do their duty

or you'll end up in a cell.

- Elizia's lies are
your only prison.

Make her tell you the truth!

- There is no death on Ellna!

- If there's no death on Ellna,

Elizia can follow
and bring me back.

- Well, let him go.

He has a criminal mind.

Ellna will send him back.

- Unless he's telling the truth.

- Code numbered Eagle One!

- But it's impossible!

- Let's find out.

- You doubt me
and believe an alien?

He lies, I tell you!

Tell them he lies.

- I'm not political.

- Tell them, Crael.

- I know you relish challenge.

Prove to them that
Ellna is what you say it is,

otherwise they'll
flay you alive.

- And when I come back,
they will worship me again.

- And if they don't come back,

they'll curse you as a tyrant.

- Which do you
desire it to be, Crael?

- Whichever gives us most hope.

- At least I'll
take you with me.
