All language subtitles for Queen of Blood (1966).en

NARRATOR: The year 1990.

The problem of traveling to the
moon has been solved for many years.

Space stations
have been built there.

And authorized personnel
come and go as they wish.

But the moon is a dead world.

And the great question
about space still remains.

Does life exist
on another planet?

To seek an answer
to this question,

the major powers of the world
have been actively preparing

at the International Institute
of Space Technology

to explore the planets
Venus and Mars.

Ready for lunch?

Ready for lunch?

-Yes.
-Great, 'cause I'm starved.

I just finished a high G
session in the centrifuge.

How do you feel?

Not bad considering.

How's the music of
the spheres today?

Listen.

[FLICKING SWITCH]

[LOW HUMMING]

We've been picking up these
signals now for three days.

Dr. Farraday thinks it's from
a planet within our galaxy,

but beyond our solar system.

Well, does he think it might
be a form of communication?

Well, they're different from
anything we've picked up before.

They're working on some
tapes that Matt made,

now trying to see if
they can decipher it.

Bill, I'm leaving the
recorder on automatic.

Will you keep an
eye on it for me?

Right.

It must be something.
A message of some kind.

And just think, if it is,
it'll be our first contact

with intelligent beings
from another planet.

[HUMMING CONTINUES]

[SHRILL SOUND]

You certainly were hungry.

That's the one bad thing about
space trips, no banana splits.

No matter what they say about
that exobiologic food, it tastes terrible.

It's all relative.

That's all it is.

Mind sharing your table with a
couple of starving astronauts?

Hi, Tony. Hi, Paul. Sit down.

Have a seat, gentlemen.

Allan was just complaining
about the exobiologic food.

You better get used to it.

That's all you're gonna get
once you're on the way to Mars.

It is Mars you're
scheduled for, isn't it?

Yeah. If and when.

What's the latest
scuttlebutt there, Tony baby?

I only know what
Mata Hari here tells me.

And she gets it straight
from the horse's mouth.

You mean Dr. Farraday.

Well, I do hear a
remark now and then.

They seem to be making some excellent
progress on that new radiation shield.

-As a matter of fact...
-WOMAN ON PA: Attention.

Attention, all personnel.

All personnel, assemble immediately
in area one for important announcement.

Attention...

-All personel...
-That means us.

What am I gonna do with this?

They'll have cold stew.

Go at once...

-to area one
-Come on.

...for important announcement.

Does mean we're flying, Allan?

Could be they're more ready for
Mars than we think, huh, Allan?

I hope so. Do you think
you're getting married on one?

Commander Brockman,
what's happening?

No idea. It must be
pretty important, though.

That's for sure, sir.

My friends and fellow workers,
in the great adventure of space,

I have the most important
news to announce

since our first successful
landing on the moon 20 years ago.

As many of you know,
for several weeks now

we have been receiving
organized signals from a far galaxy.

This morning our code
experts finally deciphered...

the message these
signals contained.

It's a most extraordinary
document. It's very long.

I'm not going to read it to you,

but I would like you
to have the gist of it.

It informs us that they are
dispatching a spaceship

to bring their ambassador
to our planet Earth.

They believe that our
atmospheric conditions

will support their form of life,

which apparently,
is similar to our own.

[PEOPLE MUTTERING]

The timing of their blastoff
should be just about now.

Now, I wanted you here, at Space
Institute, to be the first to know.

I'm sure the entire world will
await the arrival of this spaceship

with the keenest anticipation.

Thank you.

[MACHINE STARTING UP]

The world is impatiently awaiting further
information from the Space Institute

fixing position and
probable time of approach

of the space vehicle bringing forth
the first time in our world's known history

to our planet, aliens who are our
first visitors from a distant galaxy.

Meanwhile, at 5:18 this morning,

the California
Satellite Observatory

reported that an unknown object

has crossed the orbit of the moon
and is rapidly approaching Earth.

Scientists unanimously agree that this
is not the expected space vehicle itself,

but is a mechanical device

sent ahead by them for reasons
unknown at the present time.

[OBJECT WHISTLING]

[TUNING]

[BLEEPING]

Doctor.Yes?

Is your report ready?

They have sent us a video log

that contains a
photographic record

of the alien
ship's entire flight.

Ready?

Yes, Doctor, it's in
perfect working order.

All right, let's see it.

[LOW HUMMING]

[STATIC]

[SPACESHIP ACCELERATING]

[EXPLOSION]

Remarkable.

Crash-landing on Mars,
and this is their S.O.S.

We are obviously
in touch with beings

who have a very highly
evolved technology.

Do you think their ship
was destroyed, Doctor?

No, I don't. I think there's an excellent
chance that there may be survivors.

But we haven't received any
more signals now for three days.

Well, that may mean
merely damage to equipment.

What I'm interested in is the possibility
that these extraordinary creatures

who have sent us this, the
video log of their disaster,

may, at this instant, be
waiting for us to rescue them.

But, Dr. Farraday, we...

WOMAN ON PA:
Dr. Farraday, attention.

Dr. Farraday, please report
to your office immediately.

They can't wait to
hear what it's about.

I'm going to schedule a press
conference at 10:00 tomorrow morning.

The world wants to know what
has happened and I shall tell them.

But the real question
remains to be answered.

What are we
going to do about it?

ON SPEAKER: And so it appears
that these beings from another world

have called for our help.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

[CLEARING THROAT]

The situation, it may not be
exactly as we would've wished,

but now that the doors
have realistically opened

to close this gap
between worlds,

I feel that we are obliged to make
every effort to give them our help.

It is true, of course, that we are
fully prepared to embark for Mars.

The spaceshipOceano
has been designated

to attempt the first flight to
Mars six months from now.

I'm going to urge the
heads of state of all countries

to cooperate in this endeavor.

Travel to Mars is now and
not six months from now.

And to do so, we must get
those supplies to the moon.

[ENGINES ROARING]

WOMAN ON PA: Attention, please.

Attention, please.

Will the commander
of freight rocket RT-12

please report to
the central operator.

You have a call from Earth.

[STATIC ON RADIO]

I'm sorry, Doctor, we don't
seem to be able to pick up a thing.

Their equipment must've
been destroyed in the crash.

Dr. Farraday, may I speak
to you for a moment, please?

Yes, of course.

Since there are no more
signals coming through,

I'm afraid we'll have to
proceed in the dark, as it were.

Doctor, I just
received my orders.

Oh, good, yes. Yes,
are you pleased?

Of course.

But I was hoping that Allan
Brenner would be on my flight,

and I was wondering...

I'm sorry, Laura. I'm afraid
there's nothing I can do about it.

The balance of personnel for this key
flight has been most carefully worked over.

We shall undoubtedly send
Brenner on the Oceano II.

I see.

It's a great honor that's
been bestowed on you, Laura.

And I don't mind telling you now

that I was one of those
who recommended you.

[ANNOUNCEMENT BELL
RINGS]I appreciate that.

ANNOUNCER: Doctor
Farraday. Doctor Farraday.

Please report to the Astrophysical
Laboratory immediately.

Well, Laura. A marvelous
adventure lies ahead of you.

I envy you.

Good luck.Thank you.

I just heard the news.

And I was just trying to get
enough courage to tell you.

Well, we sort of figured
it might happen this way.

I know.

Look, I'm sure I'm
gonna be on the next ship.

I'll make a date right
now to see you there.

In fact, I'll tell you what.

I'll take you dancing on
Mars, how about that?

[ANNOUNCEMENT BELL
RINGS] WOMAN ON PA: Attention.

Astronaut Laura
James. Laura James.

Please report to the
Central Conference Room

for a press and
television interview.

Hey, you're gonna be the
most famous girl in America.

Now go on. Tell 'em who you
are and where you came from.

MAN ON RADIO: T-minus 27
seconds and counting prior to your start.

Report the ready position.

Two over zero
minus x-ray one, two.

All systems green. Delta
minus 18 seconds to start.

Ready light is on.

Countdown starts.

[ENGINES ROARING]

[MAN COUNTING DOWN ON RADIO]

[SPACESHIP BLASTING OFF]

LAURA ON RADIO:
Calling Lunar Seven.

Dr. Farraday speaking.

Commander
Brockman reporting, sir.

How are you doing?

Everything
according to plan, sir.

Astronaut James blacked-out during
acceleration but has now revived.

All instrument readings, normal.

Splendid, Commander.
Just keep going.

Yes, sir. We intend to, sir.

PAUL: Accounting for
the DH factor of drift,

we've progressed 75
million toward Mars,

and are passing through
perihelion to the sun.

Mars is giving
off a red coloring

and is becoming more
vivid as we approach.

It suggests that there is a really deep
oxidation of the planet's major substance.

How does that sound
for the ship's log, sir?

Very good. Accurate
and rather imaginative.

Thank you, sir.

Maybe when we get back to
Earth, you can have that published.

You'll be known as that
famous writer/astronaut fella.

Well, I never
thought of it that way.

[BEEPING]

Oh, it's dinnertime.

Commander, aren't
you gonna eat dinner?

No, I'm not very hungry.

What about you? You very hungry?

I'm starved.

Well, good. So am I.
Come on, let's go eat.

What's that?

[ALARM BLARING]

Something's happened to the
instruments controlled on the side.

[ALARM BEEPING RAPIDLY]

It's a sunburst.

Put on your helmets.

[ALARM SHRILLING]

Close your visors.

I'm switching to emergency controls
on group three and group seven.

Under maximum protection.

All controls are working.

Use all power available.

Yes, sir.

[ALARM SLOWING DOWN]

I don't like this at all.

Why haven't we heard from them?

LAURA ON RADIO:
Lunar Stage Seven.

Calling Lunar Seven.

Laura.

Laura, this is Farraday.
Are you all right?

We just recorded
a major sunburst.

We are now trying to
enter the orbit of Mars.

[GASPING] The sunburst severely
damaged exterior instruments.

Using emergency
instruments only.

Very difficult...

Laura. Laura. Come in, Oceano.

It's not transmitting.

[RADIO TUNING]

[FLICKING SWITCHES]

Paul.

Paul.

Paul.

Laura. Are you all right?

Laura.

LAURA: Yes.

Bring the oxygenator
tablets quick.

[PANTING]

Paul, take these.

Here, they'll make
you feel better.

[GASPING]

Oh, I've got a whole symphony
in my ears. It ain't Brahms.

BROCKMAN: It will go soon.

[SIGHING]

Are you feeling better?

Oh, I guess our emergency
equipment worked okay, huh?

We're in orbit now.

We've got to locate the ship.

Now, Paul, you do the observing.

Laura, turn off the
ultraviolet protection shield.

And contact Lunar Seven,

let them know we
came through safely.

I'm going to check
the fuel supply.

I'm very much concerned
about the Oceano'sfuel supply.

That accident caused them to
use more than they could spare.

You mean they may
have trouble landing?

No, but it'll be touch
and go on the return trip.

We must get the Oceano
II launched sooner.

LAURA: Lunar Seven.
Calling Lunar Seven.

This isOceano. Oceano
calling Lunar Seven.

We read you, Oceano. Over.

Laura, this is
Farraday speaking.

We have good news. We've
located the interstellar vehicle.

It is in section 18, unit five.

Got it.

We are now entering
orbit position to land.

We will transmit
again from Mars.

Well, gentlemen, our mystery
should be solved very soon.

Let's go, Paul, and
see what we can find.

We'll stay in contact with you.

I'll go ahead. You stay here.

But I'd like...

I'll give you a signal if
I want you to come on.

May we speak to you for
a moment, Dr. Farraday?

Certainly, gentlemen.
What's on your minds?

Well, we've been
trying to figure out

what's happened to
the other space people.

I mean, it seems there must
be more than one dead man.

Well, of course, there's
more than one dead man.

The others must have
boarded a rescue rocket,

which, at this very instant, is
marooned someplace else on Mars.

It's the only
possible explanation.

Then we'd have to send observation
satellites, isn't that correct, sir?

It's the only way to
find the other ship.

Unfortunately, Oceano
IIisn't ready for blastoff yet.

That's what we wanted
to talk to you about.

The rocket ship
Meteor is ready to go.

And Tony and I figured we could
take the observation satellites on it

and get them there immediately.

Oh, come on, gentlemen.

The Meteoris much too
small a ship for that kind of trip.

Your fuel would be all used up.

You couldn't even land on
Mars, much less return to Earth.

We don't intend to land on Mars.

What?

Look, Dr. Farraday, let me
show you what we mean.

All right.

After we put the satellites into orbit, we
can land on one of the moons of Mars.

Phobos.

We'll have plenty of fuel for this
because the gravity here is so slight.

And from Phobos, we can
get to Mars in our rescue ship.

Clever.

Logical.

Possible, but it's
too great a risk.

The slightest miscalculation
would mean complete disaster.

Every space flight
is risky, Dr. Farraday.

Oh, really, Doctor,
this is too important.

We have our calculations
carefully worked out.

I know we can do it.

You're either fools
or very brave men.

I'll see what can be arranged.

Hello, Meteor.

TONY: Hello,Oceano.
We have arrived in orbit.

Congratulations, Tony.

Let me speak to your co-pilot.

There's someone here
who wants to say hello.

Allan can't speak now. He's
releasing the observation satellites.

Let's talk again at 2230 hours.

All right.

Paul, Laura, come here.
You can see the satellites.

Look.

Now we'll find them.
We'll find them for sure.

You'd better radio the Oceano.

I think somebody
wants to say hello to you.

Calling Laura James.

Calling Laura James.
Come in, Laura James.

LAURA: That is not the correct
contact signal, Astronaut Brenner.

It seems to be the correct
signal for me, Astronaut James.

Allan, where are you?

We've landed on Phobos.

This is Brockman.
How is it there?

Well, okay, I guess. We'll
inspect it in a moment.

That wouldn't be
advisable, Allan.

We've calculated
your timing for landing.

You must leave
within 32 minutes.

Allan, if you don't leave now,
you'll have to stay a whole week.

Okay, we'll be there
within two hours.

And remember, we're
expecting a very warm welcome.

BROCKMAN: You'll get it. The
Martian girls are dying to meet you.

LAURA: You'd better hurry. A
strong wind is coming up here.

You now have 29 minutes left.

Thank you, Astronaut
James. We'll see you soon.

Allan, come here.

What is that?

I don't know. But I
think we'd better find out.

ALLAN: So that's it.

The main ship is on Mars. The
rescue ship landed here on Phobos.

[SLOW BEEPING]

[DOOR OPENING]

LAURA:Meteor, please answer.

You now have only
17 minutes. 17 minutes.

Answer, please.

This is Meteor. We have
amazing news for you.

It turns out they
landed on Phobos.

LAURA: I don't...
BROCKMAN: Who's they?

The astronauts
from the other planet.

The rescue ship landed
here and one of them is alive.

We're gonna bring her with us.

But your rescue ship
can only carry two people.

I know.

Do you have any suggestions?

Hey, what...

This is something we've got to
decide between ourselves, Tony.

You heard Laura.
17 minutes, 16 now.

Well, I know...We've
got no choice, Tony.

The rescue ship can't
possibly carry more than two.

And this, this being is the
whole reason we came here.

Okay, I'll stay.

There's a decent chance that
Oceano II will get here in time.

No.

So you go ahead and take her.

No. That wouldn't be fair.

Look, we haven't time to argue.

If we miss the start,
all three of us might die.

Okay, let's flip for it.

All right, if it'll make
you feel better.

I haven't got any coins. All I
have is paper moon money.

My old American good luck piece.

Call it.

Heads.

Meteor. Meteor,answer please.

Allan, I want to talk to you.

It's no use.

They had a decision to make
and I'm sure they've made it by now.

Put up the radio beacon.

Whoever is piloting that ship

will need all the help
he can get in this storm.

[WIND HOWLING]

[CRASHING]

I don't think we'll have any
real difficulty in finding him.

Even on foot, he must be
following the beacon in this storm.

[DOOR BUZZING]

Laura, don't worry about
him. We're gonna find him.

[WIND HOWLING]

[DOOR BUZZING]

[GROANS]

[SIGHING]

That's her. That's our
visitor from another planet.

Strange.

She seems so human, yet
obviously not human at all.

I know. It's uncanny.

It's like what
would happen to us,

if we'd been in
another atmosphere.

Does she seem to be all right?

Anders just took her pulse.

He said it's beating much
stronger than a human's

if they were unconscious.

Paul?What?

Who brought her?

Allan.

I was so afraid you
were going to stay.

Are you sure, Commander, that
there's not going to be enough fuel?

I'm sorry, Allan, there isn't.

Enough for what?

I wanted to pick up Tony.

Laura, contact Lunar Seven.

I want to talk to
Dr. Farraday about this.

Yes, sir.

BROCKMAN: The female
astronaut is with us, Doctor.

She's still unconscious, but
seems to be in a good condition.

We're very thrilled by your
success. Congratulations.

Then you'll blast
off immediately?

Yes, Doctor.

But we're very concerned
about astronaut Barrata.

He's marooned on Phobos,

and we don't have
enough fuel to pick him up.

What's the status of Oceano II?

Oceano IIwill be ready
to blast off this week.

It seems to me that if Barrata uses
his emergency rations sparingly,

he ought to be able
to hold out very well.

Thank you, Doctor. We'll
convey that message to him.

Godspeed, my friends.

We'll see you soon, Doctor.

Get me the Meteor.

[DIALING]

Hello, Meteor.

This is Command
Ship Oceanocalling.

Hello,Meteor. This is
Command Ship Oceano calling.

Answer, please.

Tony, this is Allan.

Listen, Tony, we have
good news for you.

Are you listening?

Please answer.

Meteor. Calling
space ship Meteor.

This is Command
Ship Oceanocalling.

Why doesn't he answer? Are you
sure you're sending properly, Laura?

Yes, Allan.

She's sending properly.

We'll just have to keep
trying until we get him.

Hello, Meteor.

This is Command Ship
Oceano. Answer, please.

Tony, are you there? I
have important news for you.

This is Meteor. Do you hear me?

Tony, we do hear you.
Why haven't you answered?

I went outside to collect
some soil samples.

I'm gonna set up a little lab
here. Keep myself busy for a while.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

That's great, Tony. But listen,
we have good news for you.

Oceano IIblasts off in a week.

And Dr. Farraday says he can get
to you. Just... Just don't eat too much.

Thanks. I won't.

You're gonna be okay, Tony.

Yeah.

You have a good
trip back, you hear?

Take good care
of your passenger.

Yeah, we will.

Listen, Tony, we're gonna
have to blast off right now.

So, over and out.

Over and out.

PAUL: Commander,
she's coming around.

Well, it's time we got started.

Allan, prepare a
navigational chart.

Yes, Commander.

Laura, begin the
timing check now.

Yes, Commander.

Paul.Yes, sir.

I want you to make a thorough
check of the electrical system

and gravity simulator.

Be sure we didn't miss any of the
damage that was caused by the sunburst.

Yes, sir.

You know, Paul, I think
you're the logical choice

to take care of our passenger.

I thought of
suggesting it to Laura,

but it seems our visitor doesn't
get along very well with her own sex.

Yes, sir. Well, I'll do
my best, Commander.

You can count on me, sir.

I'm sure you will.

E-4 in approximately 11 minutes.

D-1.

When you're thirsty, you
suck water up like this. See.

Now you try it. Go ahead.

It's all right. Look. Like this.

That's very good.

Now, how about the
eating department?

Let's try that, huh?

See? Like this.

[EXCLAIMS]

It's good.

It's not that it tastes so
great, but it's so good for you.

Here. Now, you try.

Look, like this.

Here. Come on.

We're gonna have a little trouble
in the eating department, sir.

How's she responding
to the ship's atmosphere?

It's giving her any trouble?

No. She seems to
be responding fine, sir.

Perhaps she's only accustomed
to some sort of liquid nourishment.

You realize, Paul, that her life pattern
may be very different from our own.

Mmm-hmm.

Look at her skin, for instance.

It appears to have a
high chlorophyll content.

She may, in certain respect,

be more akin to plant life
than animal life as we know it.

She may even take in some
nourishment from the atmosphere

through her skin.

[SIGHING]

I keep wondering
what she's thinking.

Well, Paul, the answers to all
these questions, science will give us,

when we bring her back to Earth

where they can
do adequate tests.

In the meantime, though, there is
something I can do that may tell us more.

What's that, sir?

I want to study a sample of
her blood under the microscope.

Laura, syringe ready?

Take her arm, Paul.

Yes, sir.

What's the matter?
We're not gonna hurt you.

I'll get another
hypo, Commander.

No, no. Laura, wait.

This is more than some
childish fear of the needle.

Perhaps she has an
extremely low pain threshold.

Perhaps...

Perhaps what, sir?

I don't know.

But we mustn't do anything that
may affect her health adversely.

She's probably the
most valuable specimen

for scientific research in
the history of our planet.

To get her back to Earth safely
has to be our first consideration.

[BLEEPING]

Paul, it's your turn to
watch the controls, isn't it?

Yes, Commander, it is.

We'll discuss her puzzling
behavior later on again.

You know, it might be a good
idea to put out some food for her.

Perhaps if she gets very
hungry, she'll give it a try.

I have some right here, sir.

Well...

I have to go mind the
controls of this old ship now.

I'm leaving you some food
here in case you get hungry.

Some water.

You ought to try to get some
sleep. You know, sleep, huh?

All right? Sleep?

Okay.

I've spent more time
with her than the others,

and I think that I've
noticed something about her

that the others
haven't noticed yet.

She has...

Paul.

Paul, wake up.

What's the matter?

Laura, Allan, something's
happened to Paul!

What happened?

He's dead.

[GASPS]

How?

I don't know yet.

Laura, check our passenger.
See if she's all right.

Could he have
had a heart attack?

He seemed perfectly
well last night.

He was perfectly well.

Look.

[LAURA SCREAMS]

Now we know how
she feeds, at least.

She's a monster.

Do you notice how deep
and heavy her breathing is?

She's gorged
herself of fresh blood.

And now she's digesting
like a boa constrictor

that's swallowed a whole animal.

She may remain
like this for days.

It's fascinating.

Fascinating?

It's horrible.

We ought to
destroy her right now.

Oh, no, Allan. She's
much too precious for that.

Besides, how can we expect her to
conform to our ideas of proper behavior?

She's not necessarily
aware that she's done wrong.

Wrong from our
point of view, that is.

But she's much more
than just an animal.

She comes from a
highly evolved planet.

Technology evolved, yes.

But what about
their social structure?

Moral concepts, as
we recognize them,

may be nonexistent
in their society.

They may be some
sort of intellectual insect.

Which feeds on human beings.

Not ordinarily, no.

They probably feed on the blood

of some lower form of animal life
on their planet as we do on ours.

No, not on blood.

Oh, Allan, is there such a difference
between blood and a rare beef steak?

All right, but what do we do?

Take turns playing
dinner for her?

I don't think that'll
be necessary.

We have a good supply
of blood plasma with us.

We'll use that to feed her.

LAURA: We found Astronaut Paul
Grant dead at 00 hours this morning.

Cause of death has been
determined as loss of blood.

How did it happen?

I hope this won't sound
too fantastic, Doctor.

It's not very pleasant.

[STUTTERING] The
creature from the other planet,

she fed on Paul, on his blood.

How are you proceeding?

The passenger is
sleeping now, digesting.

Apparently, she only
feeds at intervals.

We intend to give her
blood plasma in the future.

I see.

You understand how
important it is to keep her well

and bring her back
with you safely?

Commander Brockman
has made this clear, Doctor.

You will follow
emergency plan 82

for the disposal of
Astronaut Grant's body.

Yes, sir. That is our intention.

Very well. Contact
again in 24 hours.

We will, Dr. Farraday.

One should not be shocked
by anything we find out there.

Gentlemen, the particular
nature of our visitor from space,

for the moment, does
not go beyond this room.

ALL: No, sir.

Bradley.Yes, sir.

Notify next of kin of
Paul Grant's death.

List death in line of duty.

Cause, well, cause is unknown.

Go ahead, Allan.

Read now, Laura.

"Know ye that
the Lord he is God,

"it is he that hath made
us, not we ourselves,

"we are his people and
the sheep of his pasture.

"Enter into his gates
with thanksgiving,

"and into his
courts with praise.

"For ye must know

"that God will redeem thy soul
from the power of the grave.

"For he shall
receive thee. Amen."

[WHOOSHING]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Into the wastes of outer space.

It's a fitting grave
for an astronaut.

Laura, will you check
the automatic pilot for me?

Yes, sir.

[SIGHING]

[STUTTERING] Allan,
I need some exercise.

Don't you think...

Don't you think we ought to keep
that thing tied up or something?

I mean, when she wakes again,
she's going to be dangerous.

She'll only be dangerous when
she's hungry or if we're all asleep.

So, we'll keep her fed and one of
us has got to stay awake at all times.

You know, there's one
thing that really bothers me.

What's that?

There wasn't any
sign of a struggle.

She must've attacked
him in his sleep.

Do you mean that he wouldn't
have felt it and woken up?

Not necessarily.

People are often unaware of
being attacked by a vampire bat

while they are sleeping.

Perhaps nature has
given her a protective saliva

that deadens the
pain of the victim.

And afterwards, because
of the lack of blood,

consciousness never returns.

No. No, Allan, I don't
think it is a mystery

that there was no
sign of a struggle.

She ought to like this.

This must've fed
something similar

to her fellow
astronauts on their ship.

Go ahead, try it.
It's better than water.

There, you see? She'll
be well fed. You'll be safe.

And we'll bring a healthy
specimen home with us.

And if we run out of
plasma, Commander?

Well, in that case, we
may have to take turns

in contributing
to her well-being.

Oh, I know it sounds ghoulish.

But is it really so different
from having a patient aboard

who needs frequent transfusions?

BROCKMAN: She has been
eating the plasma regularly

and appears to
be in good health.

However, yesterday,
we ran out of supply,

and from now on,
it'll be necessary...

When you wake up this time,
you won't be able to move.

Look at her.

Gorged with human blood.

Digesting.

Makes me sick
even to look at her.

I can't understand how Anders
could've fallen asleep when he knew that...

He didn't fall asleep.
I'm convinced of that now.

And I don't think
Paul did, either.

She does something.
I don't know what.

Kind of hypnosis.

Some strange mental
power that we don't have.

I sensed it from the beginning.

And it's deadly.

Allan, I'm really afraid
now for the first time.

Well, don't be.

We're going to get
back to Earth all right,

and we're going to take
our monster visitor with us.

I only hope they know
what to do with her.

You're close enough now

to retain Commander
Brockman's body on board with you.

Now, after you land, it might be
instructive to perform an autopsy.

LAURA: Yes, Dr. Farraday.

I trust you're taking the utmost
precautions from now on?

Absolutely, sir.

Now, your best landing
location will be the Earth.

You'll go into orbit for 24 hours
and then receive final instructions.

After today,

change your radio contact to
the Space Institute frequency.

I shall be leaving for
Earth almost immediately.

Is that clear?

Yes, Dr. Farraday.
We'll see you very soon.

Good luck.

They'll need it.

Things are going very badly
on that ship. Very badly, indeed.

[SIGHING]

[SCREECHING]

[MOANING]

Allan.

[GROANS]

She got to me, didn't she?

Yes.

What happened?

I woke up,

found her,

pulled her off of you.

We fought, and she just...

She just ran away.

I don't think I really hurt her.

Where is she?

Allan...I better go look.

Please, don't.No,
I'm all right now.

Really, I'm all right.

What's happened to her?

No, don't come
any closer, Laura.

She's dead.

Now I know why she wouldn't
let us take that blood sample.

Why?

She's bled to death.

All you did was scratch
her, and she's bled to death.

She's a hemophiliac.

Perhaps, she was some sort
of royalty where she came from.

A queen, maybe.

[SPACESHIP LANDING]

[ENGINES SHUTTING DOWN]

I thought we weren't
going to have enough fuel.

We might get our sun goggles.

We haven't seen sunlight for
so long, we might be blinded by it.

But it would sure feel good.

What is it?

It's... It's some kind of eggs.

Eggs?

That's it.

That's why they sent her.

She wasn't just an
ambassador, she was a queen.

A queen bee.

Maybe this is how
their society is set up.

A queen who does
all the breeding.

Or maybe their planet was dying

and they just sent her
to bring her kind to Earth.

Laura, we have to destroy these.

But, Allan...

Don't you realize what
they were trying to do?

They sent her to Earth to find a
new feeding ground for her race.

To them, we're just
animals to be eaten.

We can't let these
creatures breed on Earth.

Allan, that's not
for us to decide.

Scientists from
all over the world

have been waiting for us to
bring back something living.

They'll keep them under control.

I wonder.

Besides, it's too late.

It's just as I thought. She has
them hidden all over the ship.

They'll have to tear this ship
apart piece by piece and fumigate it.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

Doctor, we've discovered
that the whole ship is infested

with the eggs of that creature,

and they're alive and growing.

Wonderful. Wonderful.
Where are they?

Alive and growing,
you say? Extraordinary.

I don't think you
realize, Doctor.

They should be
destroyed immediately.

Come, come, my boy.

You've just returned from an
amazing but a very tiring trip.

We may destroy
them and we may not.

But at least we must see what
we have. Isn't that right, Laura?

I think so, Doctor.

You've brought back something

unique and marvelous
from another world.

You can be very proud.

But, Doctor, they're deadly.

I appreciate your
warning, my boy.

We shall take every precaution.

Help me, will you, gentlemen?

We have some very precious
samples to be removed from this ship.

Well, I tried.

They're scientists, Allan.
They know what they're doing.

I hope so.

Come on. Let's touch Earth

and feel sunshine
on our faces again.

[PEOPLE CHEERING]
