All language subtitles for Killers From Space (1954)(En)

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Soledad Flats,
Nevada, the time, 6:15 AM,

the climax of arduous planning,
Operation A-Bomb Test underway.

CONTROLLER: Detonation
minus two minutes.

NARRATOR: Military
personnel from buck

private to top-ranking brass,
men from research and news

services move into position.

The bomb-carrying plane
makes its initial run.

Radar with eyes that never
sleep and special equipment

go into operation.

All orders are carried out
with split-second precision.

Warning is given to
all commercial aircraft

to stay out of the test area.

CONTROLLER: Detonation
minus 70 seconds.

NARRATOR: Planes
take to the air,

carrying sensitive instruments
and nuclear scientists,

ready to record the
radioactivity from the closest

possible vantage point.

CONTROLLER: Detonation
minus 40 seconds.

NARRATOR: The bomb-carrying
plane nears the target.

Tension mounts as all
members of the flight crew

anticipate the task, to pinpoint
the bomb on a tiny circle

of earth below.

Now the plane wings its
way toward ground zero.

A warning signal is sounded.

All observers prepare for the
blinding flash of the bomb.

CONTROLLER: Detonation
minus 20 seconds.

NARRATOR: Command of the plane
is given to the bombardier,

ground zero dead ahead.

The key man now
goes into action.

Bomb bay doors open.

CONTROLLER: Detonation
minus 10 seconds,

9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.

NARRATOR: This is the beginning.

You can make the
position report now.

Have the figures ready.

Control from Tar Baby 2, over.

Go ahead, Tar Baby 2.

We're circling ground zero
at a radius of 7.5 miles,

altitude 1, 5, 0, 0, 0 feet,
air speed 4, 5, 0, stand by.

Roger and over.

She's all yours.

This is Dr. Martin.

Here are the readings--
0.378 negative,

second indicator, 1.08
negative, radiation 0.4, over.

CONTROLLER: Roger,
proceed according to plan.

Wilco and out.

Take her in closer.

OK, Dr. Martin, we'll have
to keep at least 2 miles

OK, Dr. Martin, we'll have
to keep at least 2 miles

from the center of the column.

The radiation was too strong.

What's that thing shining below?

It looks like a fireball.

We'd better check.

Dr. Martin, Dr. Martin,
we're in trouble.

Pull out.

Pull out.

I can't.

The controls are frozen.

Tar Baby 2, from base,
come in, Tar Baby 2.

Come in, Tar Baby 2.

We've lost contact, sir,
Baker 2, sir, yes, sir.

All patrol craft in test
area, this is a mayday.

Repeat, this is a mayday.

Proceed to segment baker 1, 7.

Search for Tar Baby 2.

Control, from Tar Baby
7, wreckage sighted,

southwest corner, Soledad flats.

Ship appears
completely demolished.

No sign of survivors, over.

Roger, Tar Baby 7.

Circle wreckage
at 1, 0, 0, 0 feet

until arrival of
helicopter rescue unit.

Dr. Kruger, Colonel
Banks speaking,

would you mind coming in to
my office right away, please?

Thank you.

As I was saying,
our search planes

found the wreckage of your
husband's plane, Mrs. Martin.

A rescue crew was
sent out, but--

But they must have reached
the wreckage hours ago.

Why can't they find him?

I honestly don't
know, Mrs. Martin.

Yes, come in.

Dead in the wreckage, and
according to all reports,

no one could have bailed out.

I'm terribly sorry, Mrs. Martin.

Dr. Martin, Dr. Martin,
are you all right?

I-- I am, yes.

It's Dr. Martin.

Call the Bates Hospital.

Come on, Doctor.

Come on.

All right, look
up to your right.

Now look over to your left.

All right, you can get up now.

Everything seems all
right, except can't you

recall anything that
happened from the time

your plane crashed until--

I remember the controls froze.

The next thing I saw was
the main gate of the base.

You're plane
completely demolished,

the pilot burned
to death, and you

show up the picture of health.

Are you sure you
weren't driven here?

Positive.

You don't remember
where you got this?

Hmm-hmm.

You know, your medical
chart shows no indication

of any scars on your body.

Well, I must have
got it in the crash.

Huh-uh, no, this was surgery,
a very skillful incision.

I've never had an operation.

That's what I don't understand.

Mr. Briggs.

Colonel Banks.

How are you, Mr. Briggs?

Fine, how are you?

Fine, I see the FBI
doesn't waste much time.

Well, uh, not if we
can help it, Colonel.

Oh, you know our base
surgeon, Major Clift.

Sure, how have you been, Major?

How do you do?

Well, I guess you gentlemen
have business to discuss.

Oh, no, no, this
won't take a minute.

Sit down.

Sit down, will you,
please, gentlemen?

Cigarette?

Oh, thank you.

I understand you've already
talked with Dr. Martin.

I've just left him.

You know, uh, Colonel,
um, according to my files,

Dr. Martin is just about the
key man on this nuclear project.

Yes, along with
Dr. Kruger, he is.

Mm-hmm, well, I know
they're both good friends

and, uh, well, both have
knowledge and access

to top-secret information.

Well, that's very
true, but that's no

reason to suspect that they--

Oh, we can, uh, we can
suspect anything, Colonel,

until Dr. Martin
accounts for every minute

from the time of the crash.

The shock must have
caused a mental block.

His mine doesn't want
to remember the details,

the origin of the
scar on his chest,

how he got back to the
base under his own power.

Did you ever stop to think
that perhaps this Dr. Martin

isn't really the Dr. Martin?

What are you getting at?

What I mean is that, uh,
this man could be an impostor.

Briggs speaking, oh, oh,
they did come through, huh?

They do check.

That's what I've been
wait for, thanks.

Get me Colonel Banks
at the base, please.

No, no, I'll wait.

Oh, yes, Mr. Briggs,
any news on the line

you were getting on Dr. Martin?

Just heard from Washington.

Well, I was wrong.

This is our man, all right.

His prints and description
check right down the line.

Now here's what
I suggest you do.

But you say he's in
excellent physical condition,

yet you're keeping him
in the base hospital.

Why?

Mrs. Martin, you must realize
that your husband is engaged

in a highly secret work.

If this experience had,
well, affected his mind--

Are you trying to
tell me that Doug is--

No, no, no, it's nothing
serious, Mrs. Martin.

His reflexes are excellent.

Except for that one
lapse of memory,

his mind is perfectly clear.

Isn't that natural
under the circumstances?

Yes, except for the question
of the scar on his chest.

I know he didn't have
it before the crash.

Well, I'm sure he didn't,
Mrs. Martin, but you see,

it would be
impossible for a wound

of this size to have
healed so quickly

and without medical attention.

Well, you can't keep
him here indefinitely.

Well, we don't intend to.

Uh, we asked you to come down
here because we've decided

to let you take him home,
provided you can keep him quiet

and he gets enough rest.

I understand.

Now we'll just have
to take that vacation

he's been wanting for so long.

Vacation?

To watch him, you'd think
he'd never heard of one.

Yes, he must have asked
me a hundred times when

the next test was scheduled.

He's anxious to take
his own readings again.

Well, he did have the
key part in the planning

of these projects.

Well, is there
anything he should

or shouldn't be allowed to do?

No, except he does
need diversion, anything

that won't upset or excite him.

I see-- movies, bridge,
drives, things like that.

That's right.

Well, you're the doctor now.

Just see that he
gets plenty of rest.

Thank you.

Goodbye, Colonel.

Goodbye.

See ya later, Major.

Doug, what's the matter?

I can't sleep.

What time is it?

A little after
3:00, I think I'll

get myself a glass of milk.

Get me squadron operations,
duty desk, please.

Ellen, what did you get up for?

This is Dr. Martin calling.

Who is this speaking?

Sergeant Bandero,
is there anything

I can do for you, Doctor?

I wondered if there were
any last-minute orders

on another atomic test.

What do you mean,
you can't tell me?

Sorry, sir,
regulations, I can't

give out information to anyone.

No, sir, it won't do you
any good to come down.

All right, we'll
see about that.

I've got to get out to
the base right away.

Ellen, don't you agree with me?

I've spent months preparing
for this series of tests,

and no sergeant is gonna
push me around now.

Well, aren't you
gonna say anything?

No.

Look, I know they're
ready for another test,

and I should be there.

Can't you understand
that they don't want

you around for your own good?

I don't need their sympathy.

There's nothing wrong with me.

Then why are you
acting this way?

You're all on edge.

If you don't slow down, I don't
know what's going to happen.

You really believe
that, don't you?

Oh, Doug, if you won't take it
easy for your own sake, please,

do it for mine.

Hey, hey, time to get up.

Go away.

All right, stay in bed all day.

It's almost 11 o'clock.

What did you say?

I said it was
almost 11 o'clock.

It is?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, you go put the coffee
on while I get dressed.

I don't care what you say.

You had no right to
go ahead without me,

and you, Curt, you
didn't tell me either.

Why?

Orders, Doug.

Orders, nonsense, the least
that could have been done

would have been to let me know.

I'm fine.

I could've done my work.

I hate to say this, Dr. Martin,
but in your present state,

you're not considered a
very good security risk.

Me, a security risk,
my present state,

what's the matter with me?

How long am I to be considered--

Only temporarily, the
results of the test

will be available for your
study when you return to work.

I am ready, Colonel.

To us, you're still
a very sick man.

My advice to you is to go home
and relax as you were ordered.

Relax, relax, and if I don't?

Then you'll be confined
to the base hospital

till you change your mind.

Now what's it gonna be?

Well, doctor--

Oh, Dr. Martin, I didn't
expect you back so soon.

Well, haven't you heard?

I'm a mental case, can't even
be trusted with my own work,

bah, liable to go
berserk at any minute.

Colonel Banks will fill
you in on the details.

Now don't-- don't tell me.

Let me see.

You're, uh-- I know.

I know, you're Miss, uh,
Vincent, the secretary

I share with, um--

Oh, doctor, you
can't be serious.

Uh, there was no
one in your office

so I thought you wouldn't mind.

No, that's all right.

It's all right.

As far as I'm concerned, you can
take the rest of the day off.

Are you sure?

Mm-hmm, oh, I don't
really belong here.

I just, uh, just came in to
pick up a few personal things

from my desk.

Goodbye, Doctor.

Goodbye.

Main gate, main gate, please.

Just a minute, Doctor.

Main gate, Sergeant
Powers, Dr. Kruger?

Dr. Kruger, Dr. Kruger,
no, he checked out, yeah,

about 20 minutes ago, OK.

Sorry to keep you
waiting, Doctor.

That's all right.

OK, Doctor, will
you sign out, please?

We'll post a couple of men
outside of Dr. Kruger's office.

Get me Colonel Banks
at the officer's club.

Thank you, Doctor, good night.

Good evening, Dr. Kruger.

Yes?

My name is Briggs.

I'm from the FBI.

Briggs, Briggs, of
course, I've heard of you.

I wonder if you'd mind,
uh, returning to your office

with me.

What seems to be the trouble?

Oh, just a few things we'd
like to straighten out.

Concerns me?

Well, I'm afraid so, Doctor.

Take your own car if you like.
I'll meet you there.

All right, I will.

The papers seem to be attacked.

Is this all, uh, classified
information, Doctor?

Of course.

You know, according to
security regulations,

that vault should have been
locked before you left.

But I'm certain I did lock it.

All right, then tell me this.

Who besides yourself has
access to the combination?

Well, the colonel,
here, and Dr. Martin.

Dr. Martin?

Doctor-- he was in the
building this afternoon.

That's right.

We saw him in my office.

He let around 4
o'clock on orders.

He dismissed his secretary
a few minutes later,

but he-- he didn't
sign out of there

till 20 minutes after you left.

After I did?

Well, there must
be some mistake.

I personally checked his
office just as I was leaving,

and he wasn't there.

Do you always do that, Doctor?

No, but Dr. Martin
has been acting, well,

quite strange of late.

Yes, he certainly has.

His wife telephoned to say that
he hadn't come home as usual.

I was very much
concerned about him.

So am I. He still
hasn't shown up yet.

What kind of pipe tobacco
do you use, Dr. Kruger?

Me?

Why, I don't smoke at all.

And you, Colonel?

Cigarettes, what
are you driving at?

That's funny.

How long has Dr. Martin been
using this brand of tobacco?

I really don't know.

Why?

Well, now, Mrs. Martin,
you say you have no idea

where he could be at this hour.

I know he's never
been this late

before without telephoning.

Well, I hate to
ask this, but have

you ever had any suspicion that
there might be another woman?

Certainly not.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Martin.

Just why are you asking
me these questions?

Well, let's put it this way.

Has he made any
new friends lately,

you know, people not
in the usual group.

No, the only people
we've

have been connected
with the institute.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Yes, just a moment.

It's for you, Mr. Briggs.

Oh, thank you.

Douglas Martin, last
seen in Route 61

heading toward North Junction.

Stopped at gas station corner
of Ridgewood and Mills Road.

Acknowledge.

Roger, Briggs out.

Here, they're going
to .

They're here.

They're here.

They're here.

They're going to destroy us.

He's coming out of it.

It's all right, Dr. Martin,
you are with friends.

You'll be all right.

MARTIN: Now let me go.

Let me go.

Steady now, steady, Doc.

They'll kill everyone.

We've got to stop them.

Easy, Doug, easy.

What did you give him?

Sodium amytal.

Truth serum.

It will deprive his
mind of any imagination.

I guess he'll make sense now.

I'll get the recorder ready.

Can you hear me, Dr. Martin?

MARTIN: Yes.

Now listen to me.

I want you to count
backwards from 100.

Do you understand?

Backwards from 100.

100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94--

100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94--

Oh, you can ask
him questions now.

Dr. Martin, what were you
doing with the information you

took from Dr. Kruger's vault?

I was delivering it.

Delivering it, but where, to
the rocks in Soledad Flats?

Yes, to the Soledad Flats
and where we crashed,

I was delivering it
just as I was ordered.

Who ordered you to
do this, Dr. Martin?

I'll you the whole story.

I remember we were
circling the atomic cloud.

There was an object glowing
beneath us at Soledad Flats.

We were going down
to investigate.

Controls jammed.

Couldn't pull out.

When I regained consciousness,
I was on a table.

The next thing I knew, they were
coming at me, strange people.

There eyes are the
most horrible eyes.

They didn't speak.

I could see something
strange and eerie pulsating

in front of me.

Then one of them lowered
it toward my chest.

It was my own heart.

What happened?

What is this place?

Who are you?

What are you doing to me?

Can't you speak?

Who are you?

Step forward.

Dr. Martin, I see
you are quite well.

You have recovered from
your unfortunate accident.

Who are you?

A scientist, like yourself.

MARTIN: Where do you come from?

From a planet yet
unknown to you.

You know my name.

You speak English.

ALIEN: We speak every language.

You can't expect
me to believe that.

I'm getting out of here.

Stay where you are.

Who are you?

I have already told you that.

How did you get here?

Here in our
machine magnetically

propelled across
the electron bridge

we have crea-- .

Electron bridge?

You mean you come and go
just like that without anyone

ever seeing you?

Our ships have been sighted
on numerous occasions

by your people.

Then why haven't we been
able to track one down?

We have a warning
system similar

to your primitive radar.

Our machines are set to change
course at the mere approach

of a pursuing object.

Let's say I do believe you.

Where are we right now?

In a cavern within the
upper crust of the Earth.

How long have you been here?

Since the beginning of your
experiments in nuclear fission.

What have you got
to do with that?

We are accumulating the
energy released with each

of your atomic explosions.

One moment.

What was that?

A report from the monitor
we sent to the surface

to obtain the results of
your last nuclear test.

Results?

They will take days to
analyze and compute.

I think you will find
these figures are correct.

I can't believe it.

Where is that man?

You don't recognize
area?

No.

He is in the vicinity
where you crashed.

MARTIN: That rock was glowing.

A normal reaction in view
of the amount of radiation

absorbed-- you have
a remarkable memory,

Doctor, considering
the fact that you

did not survive the crash.

What do you mean?

The mechanism of your
heart, it ceased to function.

It was necessary
for us to revive it.

You were dead.

I was dead?

So that's what they were doing.

You didn't even try
to help the pilot.

Why did you save me?

Because we had an important
need of your services.

MARTIN: Such as?

Look this way, Doctor.

You will understand.

You are
the first of your world

to be looking at our
solar system, the Astron.

This is our planet,
Astron Delta.

It occupies the fourth position
in relation to this, our sun.

Yes, go on.

ALIEN: During the 23rd time
rotation, our sun began to die,

so during the
succeeding generations,

as our planet began to cool,
vegetation began to disappear.

Our eyes developed to
this state to combat

the ever-growing darkness.

We were forced to migrate.

You left your planet, where?

We invaded these
neighboring planets.

They were nearer to our sun.

MARTIN: You just moved
in and took over?

How many of you?

All of us, well
over 1 billion, there

were feeble attempts to stop
us, but we were prepared

for such contingencies.

Now that our son is about
to completely expire,

we must move again
in order to survive.

Yours is the only planet in
this solar system capable

of supporting our civilization.

This is fantastic.

Over a billion of you trying
to come here to Earth?

We have no alternative.

We have been putting our
plan to work for some time.

At the proper
moment, the invasion

will be launched from
our platforms which

are being readied in space.

Nothing can stop us.

--, this
is ridiculous.

You cannot find your way
in or out of this cavern.

Do not try to leave.

So you have discovered
our menagerie.

Don't you think you
will be more at ease

on this side of the cage?

I-- it's horrible.

What are you doing here?

We are breeding our,
shall I say, armies?

Those carnivorous
insects and animals?

What have you done to them?

Their growth is due to
a change in their genes.

With your next nuclear test,
these animals will multiply

at a rate beyond imagination.

When the time comes,
we will unleash them.

They will spread
to every continent

and devour every living thing
on the surface of the Earth.

What good will that do you?

How could you expect to
survive better then we?

We have provided for that.

No, Doctor, look over there.

We will use their bodies
to fertilize the soil.

Vegetation will rise
up in abundance.

A new era of
civilization will begin.

Gamma rays?

You see, Doctor, we have
arranged for everything.

all this equipment?

Our nucleostorage
units, to date

we have accumulated several
trillion electron volts

as a result of your
atomic explosions.

Several trillion?

Why, uh, a chain
reaction at this point

could release enough unstable
isotopes to-- to create

a new and powerful element.

It might be
impossible to control.

True, an element that
will never be known

by your scientists, I can
assure you the strength

of this new element will--

Why, this is a powder keg.

It could go off at any minute.

I assure you, Doctor,
we have everything

under our complete control.

What force could
possibly be strong enough

to harness the-- why, you
control your whole operation

by electricity.

Of course, no generators, no
generators, that means you're

getting your power from
somewhere on the surface.

It must be passing through here.

You have heard
enough, Dr. Martin.

Step inside.

All right, what do
you want from me?

You will have access
to advance information

relative to the
time and strength of

the forthcoming atomic tests.

What about it?

You will provide us
with that information

as soon as it is available.

I see.

You're afraid of an overload.

You can't tap
enough electricity,

wherever you get it from, to
control a strong enough charge.

You are a clever man,
Doctor, perhaps too clever.

And what makes you think
I'll give you any information?

It is the only way you
can save your own life

when the time comes.

You will be transported to
one of our platforms in space

and resettled here when
our operation is completed.

You are asking me to
sabotage the entire world,

3 billion people.

They are doomed, in any case.

Yeah, I guess there's
no alternative.

I'll have to do as you say.

You are lying, Doctor.

Your only wish is to betray us.

No.

I know.

Your thoughts have
been recorded.

Lie detectors?

Call it what you like.

You force me to resort
to other methods.

I will contact
our space station.

THE TALA: You are an
unwilling subject, Dr. Martin.

Martin

What?

Who are you?

I am the Tala.

You will listen and obey.

No, I--

You will listen to
my orders and obey me.

You will listen and obey.

Listen.

And obey.

You will remember
nothing you have

seen or heard here, nothing but
my orders, which you will obey.

Yes.

You will obtain
the data and bring

it to the stone near the place
where your plane was wrecked.

MARTIN: To the stone.

What have you
seen or heard here?

What have you seen
or heard here?

Nothing.

Repeat my orders.

I will obtain the data
and bring it to the stone.

Well, that's what I did.

I took the information
to where they told me.

I didn't realize I
was being mesmerized.

Well, why doesn't
somebody say something?

Don't you believe me?

Curt, you understand.

These giant animals,
breeding by the millions,

they will devour everything
unless we stop them.

Of course, Doug, we will.

Colonel, Colonel,
you've got to arrange

to set off another bomb tonight,
the strongest charge we have.

Hit beneath the ground
with all their equipment.

We can blow 'em to pieces.

Now wait a minute.

A strong charge will
overload their units.

You don't believe me,
Colonel, Major, Curt?

Of course, we do--
easy, Doug, easy.

You think I'm
crazy, all of you.

Well, I'm not.

Do you understand?

Everything I said is true.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Give me a hand, Doctor.

Now let me go.

Let me go.

Steady, steady, steady,
take it easy now.

Take it easy.

We'll talk this
whole thing over.

What are you doing to me now?

Just rest quietly.

That's it.

Mrs. Martin should be
along any minute now.

She went for their car.

What'll I tell her?

Well, he's in a state of shock.

Tell her he's resting quietly.

If you'll excuse me, I
think I'd better wait for her

at the information desk.

Well, Dr. Martin seems
to be indestructible,

except for those hallucinations.

Those weren't
hallucinations, Colonel.

Under the influence
of sodium amytal,

a patient loses all
control of his imagination.

Well, then he shouldn't be
able to fabricate those stories.

That's right.

Major, you're not trying to
tell us that everything he said

was true?

Look, gentlemen, I can only
give you the medical facts.

As for the rest, you'll
have to decide for yourself.

Excuse me, please.

Good evening, Dr.
Kruger, chilly, isn't it?

Oh, Mr. Briggs,
you startled me.

I didn't expect to
see anyone here.

Well, uh, neither
did I, Doctor.

Well, I suppose you want
me to explain why I'm here.

Mm-hmm.

I want to believe Doug.

We've worked
together a long time.

Anyway, I just had to come
out here and check for myself.

Check what, Doctor?

For an entrance or an exit
to the caverns he described.

I'm afraid you're
wasting your time.

Have a cigarette, Doctor?

No, thank you.

See, we've already
covered the entire area.

We couldn't find a thing.

Then what about that scar?

Like to see--

Oh, Mrs. Martin.

Oh, how is he, Doctor?

Oh, he's resting fine.

I think he'll be all right.

How is the car?

There's nothing to worry about.

Keep away from me.

Keep away, I said.

Doug.

Let me go.

They're after me.

Nobody is after
you, Dr. Martin.

Keep away.

Doug, he's trying to help you.

I don't need any help.

I-- I want to see
Curt right away.

Now you control yourself,
and I'll call him just as soon

as you get back to your room.

Now you get back into bed,
and I'll call Dr. Kruger.

Oh, I've got to
figure something out

before he gets here.

I need a pencil, some
paper, and a slide rule.

I'll see that you get it.

Oh, can I have Dr.
Kruger, please?

Dr. Kruger speaking, oh,
yes, Major, how is he?

All right, I'll be
over in a few minutes.

Doug, Doug, Doug.

Curt.

Ellen, I got here
as soon as I could.

Is there anything wrong?

He's much better.

Imagine, he's even
started working.

He asked for paper
and a slide rule.

That's interesting.

I wonder what he's up to.

Formulas, equations,
anyway, whatever he says,

pretend to agree with
it, Major Clift's orders.

Of course.

Doug, Doug, Curt's here.

Hello, Doug.

Now just a second.

I'm almost finished.

I'll take your hat.

Thank you.

Curt, let's face it.

I know that you
all think there's

something wrong with me.

No, of course not.

No, I-- I wouldn't
blame you after the story

I told last night.

Well, frankly, you
did have us a little

worried asking that
a bomb be dropped

because of what you said.

You don't believe me, either.

Curt, I tell you,
I have been there.

I've seen what they're
doing, breeding animals

into carnivorous monsters, but I
don't need a bomb to stop them.

I've figured it out.

It's all here.

Now look, here's the nuclear
strength of our last test,

and this is the
amount of electricity

needed to control it.

Let me see that.

I had to estimate
the conversion

rights of their transformers.

If these figures are
correct, such transformers

must operate on a constant
supply of electricity.

Where did they get that
much electric power?

Only one way, they must
tap it from the main lines

at the powerhouse.

They could do it by
parallel induction.

Nobody would ever
know the difference.

All we have to do
is to cut it off.

Cut off the power?

We can't do that.

It would cause untold
damage for miles around.

Such a power stoppage must
be planned in advance.

8 to 10 seconds,
that's all I need.

That gap in supply will
short out their resistors,

and the whole thing will go up.

But you won't go along
with that, no, no, not you.

Doug, get back in bed.

Where are the car keys?
There they are.

Now look, you're
carrying this too far.

Out of my way.

Doug.

Please call the main gate
and try to stop Dr. Martin.

Doug took the car.

Hurry.

Dr. Martin, stop.

Stop.

He did what?

How long ago?

Right, we'll leave immediately.

What's wrong, Colonel?

Dr. Martin, he is on his
way to the power house,

wants to cut off
the power supply.

Let's go.

I couldn't stop him, Doctor.

He went that way.

Hey, no parking.

OK, you run up the stairs.

I'll look here.

-There's his car.
-Come on.

Hurry.

He isn't back there.

Let's go.

Where is the
driver of this car?

He went into the building.

This way to the control room.

We'd better take the stairs.

What do you want?

Where are the main switches?

Say, what's the
matter with you?

Are you sleepwalking
or something, mister?

Where are the switches
that control

of that blast area?

I said, where are they?

This way.

Oh, control room, yeah, uh-huh.

Come on.
Show me those switches.

Come on.
-All right.

Cut that power.

Now look, cut it.

Now the next one, next, go on.

That'll to turn the power
off for a hundred miles.

Do as I say.

Here it is.

Stay where you are.

Put down that gun, Dr. Martin.

I'm warning you, Colonel.

Come any closer,
and I'll kill him.

Now the next one.

What's this one?

That's the master switch.

Cut it.

ELLEN: Doug, please, don't.

I said, cut it.

Get back, or I'll kill him.

Go on.
Get back.

Do as he says.

Give me 10 seconds
after I cut the power.

nothing
will happen, and you

can do what you want to me.

But if I'm right, now,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8--

But if I'm right, now,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8--

Over here.

Soledad Flats, right
in the pudding.

Just as he said.

He blew them to pieces.
