All language subtitles for UFO S01E15 - E.S.P.

(Man) Good night, Mr Croxley!

Been working Iate, have you?

JUst finishing
the wages accounts for tomorrow.

That's right. We wouldn't want our
pay transfers to be Iate, would we?

- Hello, darling.
- Hello, darling.

Why did you come?

I thought I'd meet you.
Aren't you pleased?

Yes. It woUId've been better
as a surprise.

I'm not going home.

Oh, I forgot. The doctor.

- I told you this morning.
- You can drop me off.

I'II take a taxi home.

- I have been to see. . .
- She'II be better tomorrow.

- Who?
- Your mother. YoU saw her today.

Oh, God, this is awful.

John, please try not to do that.

Tell me how. It isn't easy.

You're letting it get on top of yoU .

What do yoU expect?
It isn't exactly normal, is it?

The doctor said it woUId pass.

And if it doesn't?
Have yoU thoUght about that?

Don't, John. It can't stay Iike this.
That would be too much.

It'll be all right.

(Sighs)

Bye.

Oh, by the way, l forgot to tell yoU .

- Stella.
- I'm sorry.

Shut up, can't yoU? That stupid
remark, you're always Using it.

- YoU jUst don't think.
- I'm tired of it, John.

You never Used to be like this.

The doctor's got to do something.

I don't know how Iong
I can stand it.

What is it, Mr Croxley?

Now, won't you relax
and tell me all aboUt it?

Ah. That's better.

Now, Iet us see if we can go back
to the start of your condition.

What do yoU want, Doctor, a show?
A few party tricks?

I really don't think that that
will be necessary, Mr Croxley.

You know...

sometimes I wonder
if you really want to be helped.

Most of the time, your answers to
my pUestions are complete and direct

but somewhere
there is a mental block,

a refUsal to come to terms
with certain details.

I have to go!

There yoU are, you see. It's exactly
as if I had touched a nerve ending.

Won't yoU relax, Mr Croxley?

I mean, really open your mind to me.

There's no point.

I know it now.

You can't help me!

I shouldn't have Iet my wife
talk me into coming here.

It's early days yet.

Now, come back and see me when
you feel a little more responsive.

My secretary has pencilled in...

Oh, no. I can't make Thursday.

What did yoU say?

I thought you said ThUrsday.

No, Mr Croxley.

I was about to...

but yoU have anticipated
my words.

There's no point in going on.
I shan't come again.

That seems to be a great pity.

I feel that we were
about to make some progress.

However, yoU know
where you can contact me.

If you should change your mind,
don't hesitate to call.

Are yoU all right?

Yes.

It's my wife.

She's going to have a visitor.

Sighting confirmed . CoUrse varying.. .
eight to ten degrees.

- Get Moonbase.
- Right.

Hello, Gay. How long has it been
banking and weaving like this?

'It started two minUtes,
20 seconds ago, sir.

'Before that, coUrse and speed
were constant.'

What were the readings?

'Course,
zero-three-seven-one-six-foUr,

'speed, SOL one-decimal-six.'

We've never had a flight pattern
like this before.

'Course still varying.

'Speed now zero-decimal-eight-five
and reducing.'

Thank you. How long before
Commander Straker comes on dUty?

- What's the panic?
- A U FO.

Its approach
is much slower than usuaI

and it's varying course constantly.

Yes, but maintaining
an overall flight path.

Yes, I agree with you, Alec,
this zigzagging is UnUsual.

(Freeman) It's as if it were
trying to avoid something.

Or find something.

We can't take any chances.

Sound a red alert
for all groUnd stations.

SHADO Control to all stations,
we have a red alert.

Repeat, condition is red.

Interceptors, immediate IaUnch.

'Immediate launch.'

Stand by to set
missile-control computer.

Right.

Missile timing - one-foUr-seven-five.

Missile launch... ten seconds.

Positive. Contact lost.

Moonbase to SHADO Control.
We hit it, Commander.

Well done, Lieutenant.

It certainly made a new approach.
I wonder what it was trying to do.

We'II never know, I'm glad to say.

- Cigar?
- Thank you.

(EIIis) 'Moonbase to SHADO Control.'

- What is it, LieUtenant?
- 'l have another contact, sir.'

A second UFO?

No, sir. The same one.

The same one? But you reported
a positive detonation.

I know, sir. The scanners showed
negative. BUt it's back.

What's the position now?

I'm sorry, sir, it's throUgh Moonbase
defences, heading for Earth.

(Straker) Thank you.

I can't Understand how they missed.
That U FO was a sitting target.

Maybe that's what
we were supposed to think.

Yes. Force the lnterceptors to
release their missiles, avoid them,

then it gets a clear run
past our defences.

- Where is it now?
- Range seven million.

Trajectory termination?

It's changing coUrse
more violently than before.

The nearest we can get is
Western Europe.

It could be damaged.
LieUtenant EIIis reported a strike.

Speed increasing - one-decimal-foUr,
one-decimal-eight...

two-decimal-four.

That does it. We'II never get near it
at that speed .

Let's get a closer ETT.
Is the rate of descent constant?

More or less.
There's still a slight variation.

ShoUId be possible to work oUt
a broad target area.

I'II try, bUt our readings are
less than adequate computer data.

Do yoUr best.

Looks like it's going to hit.
What is it Up to?

I'II tell yoU what I think. I think
that UFO is under manUal control.

First the flight variation was Used
to disrupt our compUter programs,

but now I think the alien
is fighting to regain control.

That makes sense, if it's damaged .

Yes. The next few minUtes
will be very interesting.

Trajectory termination -
areas 1 7 to 23.

Too close for comfort.
Sound a red alert.

(AIarm bUzzing)

Sir...

Course zero-one-seven, four-two-two.

LieUtenant?

ETT, area 1 7.
Map reference foUr-zero-five, green.

Alert the mobiles.

Mobile ? to Control,
pass yoUr instructions.

'This is red alert. Proceed to map
reference four-zero-five, green.

- 'Stand by.'
- Roger, Control.

Mobile ? moving to ETT now, sir.

It's weaving off Iine again.

SHADO Control to Mobile 2,
this is Commander Straker.

- 'Get that area sealed off, Foster.'
- Yes, sir.

I want a detailed survey. If there
is a specific target, l want to know.

(Phone)

- 'Stella.'
- Oh, John.

- 'I'm on my way home.'
- What did the doctor say?

- He wants to help.
- 'That's wonderfUI.'

- Well, I'm not going back.
- BUt John, I...

- 'Has your visitor arrived yet?'
- Visitor?

'But, John, I ...'

(Stella fades)

- 'I thoUght we coUId. ..'
- Stella! l have to ring off, l ...

'I have some thinking to do.'

Mobile ? to Control.
According to oUr survey map,

there's just a derelict farm
and a couple of houses

It's wooded , common Iand.
What coUId be of interest there?

It's oUt of control. The alien's
being forced to crash land .

No, somehow I don't think so.
What's it after?

What could it want in the middle
of a wilderness of trees and bracken?

U FO speed decreasing.

1 ?,000 knots. Range 1 ,000 miles.

Course maintained. no deviation.

So, It's back under control and
slowing down enoUgh for a landing.

When's the estimated termination?

In five minutes.
Foster won't have time to evacUate.

Speed 7,500 knots. Decreasing.

Range 600 miles.

The roadblock shoUId be in position
now. The whole area's sealed off.

Three minutes to termination.
Course maintained, speed reducing.

Come on, friend,
we're waiting for you.

(Straker) It'll be a pertect Ianding,
and we'II be right there.

All cars in position.

'Right. Make sUre
no one gets through the roadblock.'

Roger. We'll keep channel three open.

(Radio, indistinct)

I'm sorry, sir.
This area's been sealed off.

Military manoeuvres.

- Military manoeuvres.
- Yes, sir.

- YoU live. . .
- Yes, yes,

I Iive a coUple of miles over there.

- L'm afraid yoU'll have. ..
- Yes, I know. lt won't be long now.

One minUte.
CoUrse maintained, speed...

Speed increasing.

- (Straker) Check it.
- No error, sir. lt's coming down faster.

- Get Colonel Foster.
- Sir.

Mobile ?. Go ahead , Control.

The UFO's at crash velocity.
It'II be too Iate to correct.

- 'Understand?'
- Yes, sir.

And Colonel Foster -
if there's a sUrvivor, I want him.

'Right.'

Mobile to Control, have audio on U FO.
CIoUd cover preventing visual.

'Roger.

- 'It'II be over yoU in 30 seconds.'
- Roger.

It's decreasing speed. Switching...

Course altered...

two degrees.

- Have you got visUal contact?
- 'No, sir. Tracking on audio.'

(High-pitched humming)

(HUmming continues)

(HUmming intensifies)

(Miaows)

- (Radio) '...some kind of experimental aircraft.'
- You all right, sir?

Get there as fast as you can,
Colonel.

Yes, sir.

Mobile ? to Control.
It's crashed right into a house.

All right, Colonel. Do what yoU can.

I don't Understand it, Alec.

Under control...

and oUt of control.

Crash-Ianding velocity,
then safe-Ianding velocity.

Now it hits a hoUse.

- Ouite a mess.
- Let's go over the facts, AIec.

Right from the start, that U FO
was on an UnUsUal flight pattern.

We can only guess it was a method
to out-manoeuvre the Interceptors.

Yes, but let's say
it came in damaged.

And, unable to control his ship,
the alien tried to Iand,

failed, and hit that hoUse.

No, I don't bUy that, Alec.

For a while
it was out of control, yes.

BUt jUst before impact
it seemed to be fine.

Then it looped that Iine of trees,
smashed into an isolated house.

Sheer coincidence.
The hoUse happened to be in the way.

You coUId be right.

BUt there's enoUgh doubt in my mind
to make me want to look at the place.

What happened to the pilot?

There was just enoUgh evidence
to establish he was an alien.

And the U FO was completely destroyed?

The largest piece
measured six inches.

It was embedded in Foster's mobile.

What's the news on his condition?

It's too early to say.
He's lost a lot of blood .

At Ieast he was lUckier
than the co-driver.

What about the woman?

She coUIdn't have known a thing about
it. lt must have been instantaneous.

What do we know about her?

Ordinary woman. Married. No children.

- Nothing to connect her with U FOs?
- Nothing that we know of.

That's her husband oUt there now.

SUppose I better talk to him, AIec.

SUre.

- L'm sorry.
- You killed her.

That experimental aircraft
crashed into my house.

How did you know that?

I was at the checkpoint
when word came through.

I'm afraid there's not mUch more
I can tell yoU.

I know. The details are classified .

- If there is anything.. .
- Don't yoU think you've done enoUgh?

My wife...

is dead .

Look, yoU've had
a pretty bad shock. Have you...

No.

They were all Stella's relatives.

They don't mean so much
to me now.

- How's he taking it?
- Hard to tell.

He seemed to know
exactly what I was going to say.

Yeah.

I gUess it's pretty difficUIt to find

a new way of telling a gUy
you're sorry.

Let's get out of here, Alec.

Hi, Alec. Is that the time?

It's time yoU went home.
You've been here a full 1 6 hours.

I have to go through these reports.

Not that they tell Us a great deal.

We combed the ruin and everything
for a mile around.

We lifted secUrity yesterday.

I understand Croxley
was having psychiatric treatment.

He also Ieft his job. not sUrprising
after what he's been through.

I think we can close the book
on the incident.

Not qUite, AIec.
Paul Foster's still in the hospital.

Yes, I spoke to him yesterday.

Doctors are very pleased
with his progress.

The wonders of medical science.

- He wants to speak to yoU.
- Me?

- He's worried about something.
- What?

He woUIdn't tell me.

You called me all the way oUt here
jUst to tell me that?

I thought you oUght to know.
SUrely it's a security matter.

- What did he look Iike?
- It's difficUIt to say.

- It's just an impression.
- Come on, Paul.

Next you'II be telling me you hear
strange noises at night.

Look, every time I look up,
he's there, looking at me

and there's a sort of naUsea feeling
that comes over me.

Hmm.

I'II get you out of here.

You're OK to be moved
to our medical centre.

You'II be closer to home.

You don't believe me, do you?

I'II tell yoU what I think, Paul.

I think yoU've been
lying in that bed too Iong.

I also think if yoU're
well enoUgh to worry,

you're well enough
to go back to work.

I'II arrange for your discharge.

- Good morning, Miss Ealand.
- Good morning, sir.

Well, somebody wanted
to make sUre that got here.

It's been in the material analyser.
Just paper.

With all those stamps, l woUId have
expected a small atom bomb, at Ieast.

It's probably a film script.
It's addressed to yoU.

- Do you want to read it?
- lngenUity should not go unrewarded.

Whoever sent it certainly knows
how to draw attention to their work.

Maybe they can write, too. I'll
pass it on to the script department.

Fine.

Yes, sir. He's waiting.
With Freeman.

(Whistling)

- How long's it been this puiet?
- Since you went into hospital.

That was a month ago. There've been
no sightings since then?

JUst two.
The Interceptors took care of them.

We managed to scratch along
withoUt you, PaUI.

Hello, Paul.

- Feeling better?
- Yes, sir.

Good, good. In my office?

You too, Alec.

Are yoU fit for duty, PaUI?

Yes, sir.
Schroeder checked me out an hour ago.

Good, good.
No more little men watching you?

Well, in the medical centre, security's
tighter than a drUm anyway.

Oh, I see. And yoUr little friend
coUIdn't get in, eh?

Don't worry, Paul. Go home and rest.
Report for briefing in the morning.

Yes, sir.

Oh, AIec. I want yoU to go over
to the Zeta tracker station.

The lieutenant in command
has come Up with a new grid Iink-Up.

- Fine.
- See yoU later.

By the way, what's that?

I assume this is a film script.

Why don't you open it and find oUt?

Get on to the Zeta tracking station.

The commander over there,
LieUtenant Grant,

tell him to expect
Colonel Freeman later today.

- 'Anything else, sir?'
- No, no calls.

- L'm oUt for the rest of the day.
- Yes, sir.

- L'II keep channel four open.
- Right, sir.

(Buzzer)

(Straker) 'Miss Ealand,
has AIec left the bUilding?'

- No, sir. He's with me now.
- 'Have him come back down here immediately.'

- Yes, sir.
- I'm on my way.

Something wrong?

I'II say. About as wrong
as yoU can get.

- What is it?
- Read it, Alec. Just read it.

The SHADO Organisation.

Colonel AIec Freeman, Moonbase,
Skydiver, everything.

It's all there, Alec.
Every last detail.

- That's impossible. How coUId anybody...
- How should I know?

A secUrity leak, coincidence,
lUcky guess.

What does it matter?
It's a complete dossier on SHADO.

Its operatives,
installations, epuipment.

- I don't get it. Who wrote it?
- lt says on the front. John Croxley.

The man whose house was
hit by a UFO?

Yes. Now, you tell me, AIec.

How did he get that information?

The whole thing's ridiculous.
We checked him out, and his wife.

- Mr and Mrs Average.
- Yeah.

When I told him aboUt his wife,
there was. . . something about him.

He was different.

Wait a minute.
Foster's little man in the hospital.

That coUId be Croxley, too.

- We'd better pick him up.
- No. not yet, AIec.

If it was him,
I want to know more about him.

He was visiting a psychiatrist.
Maybe he knows something.

Right. We'II start there.

And yoU say Croxley stopped
coming to see you, Doctor?

Yes, quite suddenly - just before his wife
was killed. The same day, in fact.

What was his problem?

You realise, I hope, that I
do not normally

divulge sUch details aboUt
my patients,

but, with yoUr authorisation,
it was a somewhat unusual condition.

ESP.

- Extrasensory perception?
- Mmm .

It's a subject about which
we still know very little

but most of us have experienced it
at some time or another.

You yoUrself have probably been
in the sitUation

of sensing what is going to happen.

Yes, and it usually means troUble.

Well, it affects different people
in different ways.

Some adjUst pUickly
and make good use of their powers.

I believe there have been a number
of successfUI theatrical acts

based on the condition.

And Croxley?

He is not one of the Iucky ones.
It is driving him to mental illness.

His powers of perception
are so pronounced,

he can hold a conversation
with someone

without that person
Uttering a single word .

- A mind-reader?
- Not pUite. Telepathy, perhaps.

He can anticipate. He can,
how shall I say, feel the fUture.

And it bothers him .

The point of mental breakdown
when simple, everyday phrases

take on a new and terrible meaning.

Most of it is clear now, Doctor.
Thank yoU very much.

Croxley phoned here
for you earlier today.

And?

For some reason,
he wants you and Mr Freeman

to meet him at the rUin
of his house at ten tonight.

How did he know we'd be here?

ESP?

(Clock strikes)

We're early. It's only 0:30.

Yes, I always like to look over a
convention hall before a conference.

Or a battleground before a battle.

You know it's madness
coming without security?

We have no choice.

Listen, AIec, we have to assUme that
Croxley can anticipate our moves.

The film script. He wrote it by reading
Paul Foster's thought patterns.

- Or someone told him.
- No!

Listen, l believe
that doctor is right.

Croxley has a sUper-sensory power.

If we try to go against
his wishes or trap him

- he'II know aboUt it.
- I hope you're wrong.

So do I .

(Inaudible)

Look, I know it's late,
but this is not easy to Iive with.

Listen, PaUI, yoU went through
a pretty rough experience.

- It takes time.
- BUt that was physical!

Paul, you nearly Iost yoUr life
in that hoUse.

Your mind is simply trying to adjUst

to the shock it received
when yoU were injured there.

- Well, maybe yoU're right.
- I'm sUre of it.

Look, if it bothers you that mUch,
there's only one answer.

Go back to the house.

Overcome yoUr anxiety.

Face the problem.

OK, Doc.
I'll go home and get some rest.

Good night, PaUI. See yoU
at final medical checks tomorrow.

Croxley!

Where are yoU?

- YoU know, Ed.. .
- Hmm?

I think I'm developing ESP.

I've got a feeling
Croxley's here already.

(Croxley) YoU're right, Colonel.

(Straker) Croxley!

The answer to your question is no.

Why should I give you my gun?

(Clattering)

You woUId both be dead before
yoUr hands were on the butts.

You see, I do know
what yoU're thinking.

You Use a shoUIder holster,
Commander. Please.

The lamp.

You prefer the right hip,
I believe, Colonel.

Slowly.

You have a more...
devioUs thought pattern.

I want to see you clearly...

before I kill yoU .

It's fitting that yoU should
die here, Straker.

- We made it easy for yoU.
- Yes.

I must say, yoU have particUIarly
logical mental processes.

How Iong have yoU had
this ESP, Croxley?

All my Iife.

It got stronger about a year ago.

I used to play tricks at school,
predicting the fUture.

U FOs - what do yoU know aboUt them?

Shut up! You did it, Straker.

You've been messing with things
yoU don't understand.

- And yoU caused my wife's death.
- No, Croxley! Don't you see?

Use yoUr power. Use your ESP.

A UFO destroyed yoUr house, not me.
It was part of a carefUIIy laid plan.

The aliens, Croxley.

They've taken over yoUr mind.

They killed your wife.

They're Using you.

Can't yoU see why?
They're Using yoU to kill us.

(Croxley sobs)

Croxley, for God's sake!

Mother. YoU're thinking
about your mother.

Stop it.

Stop it.

It's four minUtes to twelve.

- YoU die at midnight.
- Croxley.

I'm going home.
I must see the doctor.

The doctor must help me.

Help me, Doctor!

Come throUgh that door
and I'll blow your head off!

Croxley, listen...
You say you want someone to help you.

Our planet is dying.
Our national resources are exhausted.

We mUst come to Earth.
We mUst come to Earth to survive!

Mother?

Stella.

What are you doing?
Don't try anything.

Over there!

Two minUtes.

(child laughing)

Hello, Billy.
We'II be late for school.

I know what yoU've got for lUnch -
cheese and pickle sandwiches.

No one told me.

No, no one told me.
No, don't hit me. No...

Give me the gUn.

You fool. Do yoU think I'm going
to let yoU get away with it?

We mean no harm to
peoples of Earth.

Why do you attack us?

We're fighting for existence.

You mUst understand!

No...

there's no need for words.

It is time.

(GUnshots)

(Sighs)

He knew.

Well, what did yoU think, Alec,

when yoU saw Foster appear
behind Croxley?

Well, shoot, for God's sake,
before he...

- He could read our thoughts.
- Yes.

I'II always believe
that in the Iast few seconds,

Croxley regained control
of his own mind.

Well, here's to fate. .. and fear.

- Strange toast.
- Not really.

What brought PaUI Foster
to that hoUse?

And Croxley - fate had him marked
from the moment he was born.

How mUch of his power
did he gain from the aliens?

- YoU mean his ESP?
- We can only guess, Alec.

And how many other Croxleys
are there in the world?

- YoUr toast was fate and fear.
- Yes.

It's fear of the Unknown
which helps Us to keep alert, AIec.

When and if the answers do come,

it will be fear that helps us
recognise them.
