All language subtitles for S02E16.The Beta Cloud

What is it?

Trying to get a reading, commander.

- What about its range?
- Constant.

Seems to me like it's closing.

It isn't, commander.
Its range is constant.

I checked this calculation
against the computer... oh!

Les?

Maya, what about its composition?

Hydrogen...

- Nitrogen, mainly.
- Mainly?!

Certain elements unidentifiable.

- 'Medical.'
- I need help.

'Les johnstone has just passed out.'

Gerry, as soon as you can,
a stretcher team to corridor b.

Give me a hand. Someone give
me a hand! Come on. Easy...

All right, now, just take it easy.

Let's see.

Anything more substantial on the
sensor? All gaseous? Nothing solid?

That cloud's affecting everything.
My readings are not clear.

John?

I'm all right, Tony. I'm all right.

Scanners are malfunctioning.

And sensors erratic.

'John, people are
passing out all over the base.'

we think we know the source...

- Give me a hand, someone.
- — 'John?'

it's the cloud, Helena. It's the cloud.

Take it easy, John.

'Moonbase Alpha status report.

'1,503 days after leaving earth
orbit. Dr Helena Russell recording.

'Seven days ago,
a cloud containing unknown elements

'appeared in our east quadrant.'

suddenly, lassitude,
depression and loss of will

has incapacitated
most of our personnel.

'It has defied analysis by the
medical equipment at my disposal.

'Some of the personnel
appear to have immunity.

'This skeleton crew is keeping
moonbase barely operational.

'Astronaut Tom Graham,
who appeared immune,

'was sent out four days ago
in eagle 6 to enter the cloud

'to collect particles for analysis
so I could make a diagnosis

'and, thus, devise an antidote.

'Eagle 6 has failed to return
from its mission.'

Tony!

Put it on the screen.

- Eagle 6!
- That's impossible.

- It would have exhausted its fuel.
- But that is eagle 6.

Eagle 6, this is moonbase Alpha.
We're glad to see you! Welcome back.

Eagle 6, this is moonbase Alpha.
Do you read me?

Come on, Graham, wake up! Answer me.

Eagle 6, this is moonbase Alpha.
Come in, eagle 6.

Tony, sensors pick up
no life forms on eagle 6.

What?!

There is no life on board eagle 6.

- Yes, Tony?
- 'Helena, let me talk to John.'

he's in no condition to talk.

'Helena, eagle 6
is right over our heads.'

- that's great!
- 'Negative.

'It exhausted its fuel two days ago
and sensors pick up no life forms.'

I'll try.

John?

John?

- It's no use.
- 'I've got to talk to him.'

if you talked to him
he wouldn't be listening.

Tony? Eagle 6 is landing.

'Security.'

- how many men still on their feet?
- 'Three.'

I want one at the travel tube,
two at command center.

Fraser, let's go.

Graham!

Graham?

- What is it?
- I don't know.

Whatever it is,
it brought our eagle back.

Who... are you?

Where's Graham?

No further or we'll stop you.

Fire!

Run!

Maya, tell security
I want them at the travel tube

armed with rocket guns,
on the double.

- 'Tony, are you all right?'
- Yeah, for the moment.

- What did you find?
- The cloud, there's new activity.

What's its range?

Still 22,000.

I'm getting readings.

Do you think
what the commander says is true?

- That cloud is causing all this?
- Well, it's a strong possibility.

Something's emitting
high-frequency impulses.

There's a mass of some kind.

You mean there's a planet
or an asteroid hidden in there?

Well, sensors
can't define specifically, but...

There's something in there
beyond just gas vapour.

Anything comes out of that tunnel,
fire the rockets without hesitation.

Give me a fix on its position.

'Relative positions
are of little consequence.'

who are you?

'Who we are is too complicated
for your comprehension.'

- try me.
- 'Time does not permit.'

we've got time - a lot of it.

'You are in error.
You have very little time.'

- what do you want?
- 'Your life support system.'

- you mean we just give it to you?
- 'We have sent for it.'

we can't exist without it.

'Neither can we.
So we must deprive you of yours.'

Tony! Travel tube.

'I will return your screens
for you to observe.'

Fire!

- Get down to medical center.
- Tony...

- Tony!
- Don't argue!

I want to stay!

If you want to help me,
get the hell out of here! Move!

- We must help.
- Hold it.

- We've got to do something!
- We're going to do something.

'Medical.'

let me know when
Maya and San get to you.

'Right.

- 'Tony?'
- yeah?

- 'Maya and San are here.' — ok.

Computer, priority one. As of now,
all doors are non-operational.

Repeat, all doors to be opened
only at my voice command.

'Your efforts are futile.

'Give up your life support system
and die peacefully.'

we don't die on request.

- 'We do not mean to be violent.'
- Oh, sure

'Unless our needs are denied.'

open as ordered.

Close!

'You are in command center.

'The life support system
is not in that location.'

- Split up here.
- What about life support?

If it reaches it we're finished.

I'll decoy it. You get to
life support, set up a defence.

Right.

No, John, it's not a good idea.
You haven't the strength.

I do.

Tony ordered me away.
I must help him.

If you want to help
let him do it his way.

If we don't help, we'll die!

I'm all right.

Maya, your comlock.

Tony must have programmed
the computer to lock all doors.

Then no one can help him.

If that thing is what you say,
he did what he had to.

Alan...!

- Yeah, John?
- I can't hold up. You take over.

All right, come on, John.
Here we go. Take it easy.

You're gonna be ok.

All right, now, you ought to get
back into bed as well, Alan.

Now, wait a minute...

I feel better. Weak, but better.

Your fever's gone. Look, you got it
first. Maybe it's run its course.

Are you all right?

Yeah. I'd better be.
Now, go ahead, get into bed.

Yes, Alan?

- 'What's the situation?'
- Desperate.

- 'How can we help?'
- Just keep everybody out of the way.

- Where are you?
- 'Tech-lab 5.

'I'm trying to get it
in the vacuum chamber.'

- uh-oh. Trouble.
- 'Don't take any chances.'

if this works,
maybe I won't have to take any.

What's happening?
Tony! Tony, answer me!

Maya, he shouldn't
have to worry about you now.

But he's out there on his own.

If he can decoy that thing
into the vacuum chamber...

Nothing can live in a vacuum.

- And if the creature won't go in?
- Then you will have to help.

You can use this,
the dosages are computer-coded.

Yes, Tony?

- Helena, let me talk to John.
- He's under sedation.

- I'm sorry, Tony.
- Nothing to be sorry about.

Let me talk to Alan.

Helena? Helena, are you all right?

- Tony, she's fainted.
- Help me.

I'll be all right.
I'll be all right.

Come back here.

I think I'll be all right.

She has the sickness, Alan.

Take care of her.

Tony, you wanna talk?

It's in the vacuum chamber.
Everything's under control.

Alan!

You've got to help him, Maya.

But we can't release the doors.

Maya doesn't need the doors.

Maya, get out of here!

Run, Maya!

Come on.

Open.

Close.

- Hey, you better get off your feet.
- I'm all right.

Maybe I'll think better
sitting down.

How's John?

Still under sedation. You said
everything was under control.

Well, I was a little premature.

The creature's still on the loose?

Lasers or lack of oxygen
don't affect it.

A massive dose of anaesthetic
might do it.

Even we had something,
how could we apply it?

High-pressure injector gun.

Load it with... ionethermyocin.

It's the most powerful stuff
we have, it's...

It's too powerful for a human being.

Yeah, well, human this thing ain't.

Right, it's simple to use.

Just place it against the body
and push the button.

You're gonna have
to take over in here.

- I just can't make it.
- What do I do?

Tyomoxin tablets - give them
to everybody that can swallow them.

Are you all right?

This might not work
on that creature.

Something's gotta work.

How are we going to get
close enough to use it?

I don't know. We've just got to.

She's sleeping now.

Let's see if we can find it.

It's heading for life support.

Yeah, let's go.

Tony, I'm going with you.

That's all I need,
you passing out on me.

Tony!

It'll be ok.

Open.

Close.

It'll get to life support
before we will.

Maybe. In here.

Open.

Close.

There it is.

What's that?!

It's confused.

Let's see
how confused we can get it.

Creature! You, creature!

'Creature! Here I am!'

'I'm over here!'

he's falling for it.

The hydroponic experimental section,
lead it there.

- We can fill it with chlorine.
- Ok. Open.

Close.

Creature! Here I am!

'I'm over here!'

'Here I am! I'm over here!'

Tony, I'm at hydroponic.
Can you open the door?

Computer, open door
to hydroponic section.

- 'Alan.'
- the red alert?

'It's a ploy
to confuse the creature.'

we're gonna hit it with chlorine.

- 'Can anybody else help?'
- Only Fraser.

He's in life support. If the
chlorine doesn't work, we've had it.

No, no, maybe not.

I haven't got time to explain.
Get over to the hydroponic unit.

Right.

Open.

Close.

Open!

Close.

- 'Life support.'
- Fraser...

Set up an electrical barrier
across the approach to life support.

- 'I wouldn't know how to do it.'
- No, me neither. San's the expert.

She'll tell you all about it.

Bill, listen carefully.

Go to the main electrical unit
in corridor 34.

All right, San.

'Take the limpets
used for emergency cable runs.'

got them.

Fix them both sides of the corridor.
Make a cable barrier.

Right.

- 'All right, San.'
- Good, bill.

There are cable rolls on the shelf.

'You need type ht 15.

'I will give you details
when you get there.'

right.

Close!

- You ready?
- Yeah.

- How do we get it in?
- The chlorine-breather on kreno.

Right.

Creature! I'm over here!

Open!

Close!

- 'Tony?'
- yes, Alan?

- How's it going?
- 'The chlorine is having no effect.'

can she hit it with the anaesthetic?

No. I need to get in to help her.

'No. Get in amongst that chlorine,
you'll die. That won't help Alpha.'

i-I'm ok.
I think I'm gonna be ok now.

- You have to stay off your feet.
- I've got to go and help them.

Tony and Maya can handle it
if anybody can. Now, come on.

Open.

Open!

Maya!

Stay down!

What do you think?

If we could get enough voltage
through it, it could work.

Get the mobile ht generator
and take it to the barrier.

'I will take you through it
step by step.'

I'll call you when it's in position.

Right.

Alan, it didn't work.

Where is it now?

'Hunting for our
life support system.

'It won't take him long to find it.'

Tony, go to life support,
but be very careful.

Fraser is setting up
an electrical barrier.

'Ok.'

Maya, there is one way we can get on
an equal footing with that creature.

- You become one.
- I've tried to.

But you can change
into any life form.

Not this one.
Its molecular structure eludes me.

'Why do you resist the inevitable?
We don't want to inflict pain.'

I know. You're gonna kill us
with kindness

'Sarcasm in your circumstances
is no defence!

- 'Accept your fate.'
- Come on, Maya.

- You did say terminal 42?
- 'Terminal 42 - four-two.'

All right, San.

'Now take the remote switch gear
through the barrier.

'It should be all right, but don't
touch the barrier, just in case.'

thanks It is safe.

Back!

- Let's go.
- Tony...

We've tried everything.
Nothing works.

We have to keep trying.

- We can't stop it!
- We can't give up!

Nothing we've done
has had an effect.

I know that, but...

Wait, there is something
we haven't tried - the cloud.

Yes, the cloud!
That's what controls it.

If we can threaten it, it'll have
to call the creature back.

- How?
- Come on.

- Give me range and elevation.
- Range, 43,000.

Elevation, 27-3.

On target.

Right, here goes.

- It's thinned out a bit, Tony.
- Yeah.

Tony...

- That must be its control centre.
- Yeah.

Target.

Range, 43,200.

Elevation, 27-7.

- It worked!
- We've done it!

'Futility, mr verdeschi.
An exercise in futility.'

The one on the left.

Range, 44,000.

Elevation, 28-2.

The one on the right.

Range, 44-7... elevation, 28-3.

Let's get out.

Hold it!

It is safe. I tested it.

Am I glad to see you!

Everything set?

Maya better check it.
I don't know about electrics.

Do you think that'll stop it?

Nothing else has.

That's what it's after.

Yeah, and if it gets it...

Tony.

Ok, Maya.

Circuit activated.

Right, come over here.

Next time, it's gonna make it.

I know.

Maya...

This isn't exactly the time
I'd pick to say this...

- Say what?
- Psychon's my favourite planet.

We don't have time to play
with words, Tony.

Maya, I love you.

Tony.

Fire!

How can any life form take that?

Tony, it's no life form.

Oh, yeah?

When eagle 6 came down
my sensors showed no life form.

It lived in a vacuum.
Chlorine, lasers, electricity -

nothing affects it.

Open! Fraser!

Tony, it's a robot!

It doesn't matter what it is
if it gets that core.

- We can beat it.
- How?

- Get to its control centre.
- We don't know where it is.

Maya...

- He's taken the core!
- Yes.

M-Maya.

It won't get up again.

Oh, you're awake.

I always sleep with my eyes open
when I'm in traction

- Tony!
- What's that?

3D solitaire.

Solitaire?!

How come I'm alone here? This place
was jumping with patients.

- They're well now.
- And John?

He's assessing the damage
the creature did.

- Helena?
- Checking out life support systems.

What about bill Fraser?
Why isn't he here with me?

He only suffered bruises
and contusions,

- and he heals quicker than you.
- Very funny

Talking about friends, that cloud,
is it still on the screen?

It's disappeared.
It's really eerie.

Something almost kills us
and then just disappears.

Mmm.

Look, this is how it's done.

The cards are played from
one level to the next. Like that.

Uh, Maya? You know all that
wild garbage I handed you?

Wild garbage?

Yeah, the heavy syrup, the thousand
violins, all that romantic stuff.

That's wild garbage?!

A guy says a lot of strange things
when he's under pressure. Right?

Hmm!

Right.

Well, how about that?
She's really crazy about me.
